teri dafli meri payal ho teri dafli meri payal
bajte hai ik saath ho rab jane hai kya baat
ho rab jane hai kya baat
ho meri dafli teri payal ho meri dafli teri payal
bajte hai ik saath ho rab jane hai kya baat
ho rab jane hai kya baat

teri dafli ki dam dam se teri dafli ki dam dam se
teri payal ki chum chum se teri payal ki chum chum se
sangeeton ki in geeton ki sangeeton ki in geeton ki
hoti hai barsat ho rab jane hai kya baat
ho rab jane hai kya baat

jab tak mera saath na de tu
jab tak mera saath na de tu
in haatho pe haath na de tu
khali khali suni suni khali khali suni suni
lagti hai har baat ho rab jane hai kya baat
ho rab jane hai kya baat
teri dafli meri payal ho meri dafli teri payal
bajte hai ik saath ho rab jane hai kya baat
ho rab jane hai kya baat

Your drum, my anklets,
Your drum, my anklets,
We chime as one,
God alone knows the secret,
God alone knows the secret.

My anklets, your drum,
My anklets, your drum,
We chime as one,
God alone knows the secret,
God alone knows the secret.

From the "dum-dum" of your drum,
From the "chham-chham" of your anklets,
From the music of these songs,
A downpour begins,
God alone knows the secret,
God alone knows the secret.

Until you give me your support,
Until you give me your support,
Until you place your hand in mine,
Empty, desolate, silent,
Every word feels hollow,
God alone knows the secret,
God alone knows the secret.

Your drum, my anklets,
My anklets, your drum,
We chime as one,
God alone knows the secret,
God alone knows the secret.
