ishq me duba duba jaaye
aape aape janke bund khare

tali maar do hathhi vira tali bajjeygi
oy maathe bindi paira mehandi lali sajjegi
tali maar do hathhi vira tali bajjeygi
oy maathe bindi paira mehandi lali sajjegi
nau nau nakhare naak pe moti kil lagawe re
aape shisha dekhe bole sohni laggegi
hun aape, hun aape, hun aape shisha dekhe hai
hun aape, hun aape, hun aape aape aape
hun aape shisha dekhe bole sohni laggegi
tali maar do hathhi vira tali bajjeygi
oy maathe bindi paira mehandi lali sajjegi
hun aape aape aape, hun aape aape aape
hun aape shisha dekhe bole sohni laggegi
tali maar do hathhi vira tali bajjeygi
oy maathe bindi paira mehandi lali sajjegi

ghunghat pichhe gora mukhada, pani me jaise dip jal re
haye ghunghat pichhe gora mukhada, pani me jaise dip jale re
ghunghat kadh ke aangan kate thumak thumak aapdiya mare
o mere din bhi akele meri rate bhi akeli
ho meri rate bhi akeli tanhayi dasegi
hun aape hun aape, hun aape shisha dekhe
hun aape hun aape, hun aape shisha dekhe
hun aape shisha dekhe bole sohni laggegi
taali maar do hathhi vira are taali bajjeygi
ishq me duba duba jaye re

jane kaisa tona kar gayi
jiya ka katora dard se bhar gayi
haye jane kaisa tona kar gayi
jiya ka katora mera dard se bhar gayi
chand dikhane chatt pe bulayo chand ke samne aape muhkar gayi
aisi soni re ni soni aage challegi kahani
aage challegi kahani badi dur challegi
hun aape, hun aape, hun aape shisha dekhe
hun aape aape aape
hun aape shisha dekhe bole sohni laggegi
taali maar do hathhi vira are taali bajjeygi
are taali bajjeygi taali bajjeygi
are maathe bindi paira mehandi lali sajjegi

Drowned in love, I submerge,
Each drop, a salty tear of self.

Clap, brave hearts, let the rhythm ignite,
A crimson bindi, hennaed feet in sight.
Clap, brave hearts, let the rhythm ignite,
A crimson bindi, hennaed feet in sight.
Nine graces adorn, a pearl on the nose,
In the mirror, I gaze, "So beautiful," it flows.
Now, myself, now myself, I face the glass,
Now myself, now myself, I see myself, alas!
In the mirror, I gaze, "So beautiful," it flows.
Clap, brave hearts, let the rhythm ignite,
A crimson bindi, hennaed feet in sight.
Now myself, myself, myself, now myself, myself, myself,
In the mirror, I gaze, "So beautiful," it flows.
Clap, brave hearts, let the rhythm ignite,
A crimson bindi, hennaed feet in sight.

Behind the veil, a moonlit face,
Like a lamp's glow, reflected in water's embrace.
Lift the veil, and the courtyard dances,
Alone my days, alone my nights,
Alone the nights, the solitude bites.
Now myself, myself, I face the glass,
Now myself, myself, I face the glass,
In the mirror, I gaze, "So beautiful," it flows.
Clap, brave hearts, let the rhythm ignite,
Drowned in love, I submerge.

What sorcery has she spun,
Filling my heart's bowl with pain?
What sorcery has she spun,
Filling my heart's bowl with pain?
Called to the roof by the moon's call,
Before the moon, my face does unfurl.
Such beauty, oh such beauty, the story unfolds,
The story unfolds, and journeys afar.
Now myself, myself, I face the glass,
Now myself, myself, myself,
In the mirror, I gaze, "So beautiful," it flows.
Clap, brave hearts, let the rhythm ignite,
Let the rhythm ignite, let the rhythm ignite,
A crimson bindi, hennaed feet in sight.
