[madhurdixit]

Chandi jaisa rang hai tera, sone jaise baal

Your colour is of silver, gold like tresses
Ek tuhi dhanvaan hai gori, baaki sub kangaal

Only you are the rich one, fair girl, the others are all poor
Chandi jaisa rang hai tera, sone jaise baal
Ek tuhi dhanvaan hai gori, baaki sub kangaal
Ek tuhi dhanvaan hai gori, baaki sub kangaal

Jis reste se tu gujre, voh phoolon se bhar jaye

The road which you pass by in, blooms with flowers
Jis reste se tu gujre, voh phoolon se bhar jaye
Tere pair ki komal aahat sote bhaag jagaye

The soft noise of your feet make the sleeping run away
Jo patthar choo le gori tu voh heera ban jaye

The stone you touch, fair girl, turns into diamond
Tu jisko mil jaye voh, tu jisko mil jaye

The one who obtains you, the one who obtains you
Vo ho jaye malamal

Will become rich
Ek tuhi dhanvaan hai gori, baaki sub kangaal
Chandi jaisa rang hai tera, sone jaise baal
Ek tuhi dhanvaan hai gori, baaki sub kangaal

Jo be-rang ho us par kya kya rang jamate log

What kind of colours people thrust upon those who are colourless
Jo be-rang ho us par kya kya rang jamate log
Tu naadaan na jane kaise roop churate log

You are naïve, you don’t know what kind of colours people steal
Nazaren bhar bhar dekhen tujhko aate jaate log

People coming and going look at you glaringly
Chail chabeeli rani thoda, Chail chabeeli rani thoda

Beautiful queen, beautiful queen
ghoonghat aur nikaal

Cover with the veil a little more
Ek tuhi dhanvaan hai gori, baaki sub kangaal
Chandi jaisa rang hai tera, sone jaise baal
Ek tuhi dhanvaan hai gori, baaki sub kangaal

Dhanak ghata kaliyan a
