raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli
raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli
chitvan ki baani utani na jani raaja
chitvan ki baani utani na jani
par khoi meri jani kajal ki boli
ho raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli

payal ki boli samjhe sunane wala
payal ki boli
payal ki boli samjhe sunane wala
chham chham ke fer me man matwala
chham chham ke fer me man matwala
tum bhi to suno man ki koyal ki boli
ji raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli
ho raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli

gaaye jo teri man ki koyaliya
gaaye jo teri man ki koyaliya
usko bajaye meri payaliya
usko bajaye raaja meri payaliya
samjhegi mori mithi badal ki boli
ji raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli

ho ankhiyo ko ankhiya samjhe ulajh ke
ankhiyo ko ankhiya
ankhiyo ko ankhiya samjhe ulajh ke
dil ka dard jano tum bhi samjh ke
dil ka dard jano tum bhi samjh ke
boli hi nahi jaye ghayal ki boli
ho boli hi nahi jaye ghayal ki boli
ji raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli
ho raajaji zara samjho payal ki boli

My King, attend, the anklet's whispered plea,
My King, attend the anklet's melody,
Your gaze, its language, I can scarcely glean,
Your gaze, its language, I can scarcely know,
But lost to me, my soul, the kohl's soft sheen,
My King, attend, the anklet's whispered plea.

The listener understands the anklet's call,
The anklet's call,
The listener understands the anklet's call,
Lost in its rhythm, the wild heart's thrall,
Lost in its rhythm, the wild heart's thrall,
And you, too, hear the soul's sweet nightingale's refrain,
My King, attend, the anklet's whispered plea.
My King, attend, the anklet's whispered plea.

That nightingale, within your spirit's space,
That nightingale, within your spirit's space,
Is echoed now by my anklet's grace,
Is echoed now by my anklet's grace,
You'll understand my heart's cloud-soft embrace,
My King, attend, the anklet's whispered plea.

Eyes meet eyes, entangled in their plight,
Eyes meet eyes, entangled in their plight,
And know the heart's ache, bathed in inner light,
And know the heart's ache, bathed in inner light,
The wounded soul, it cannot speak aright,
It cannot speak aright,
My King, attend, the anklet's whispered plea,
My King, attend, the anklet's whispered plea.
