roop ki rani baith ke doli jaye ho
kali samjhke bhanwro ki toli gaye ho
roop ki rani baith ke doli jaye ho
kali samjhke bhanwro ki toli gaye ho

dil me bikhare jo aankhiya matkaye ho
wo bhi bikhare jo haske muskaye ho
jahan se jaye aaye fagun aaye ho
kali samjhke bhanwro ki toli gaye ho

The queen of beauty, carried in her bloom,
The dark swarm, mistaking her for doom.
The queen of beauty, carried in her bloom,
The dark swarm, mistaking her for doom.

In hearts, a scattering, a sidelong glance,
And all that falls when she gives a chance.
Where she departs, a spring's return is known,
The dark swarm, mistaking her for bloom alone.
