म्य्सोरे से आई वोह
अखियों से तीर मार गयी
बोले न बोले रे
दिल को चुरा के ले गयी
चाँद का टुकड़ा है चेहरा
बहती बालों की धरा
उसमें मोती का गजरा
आँखें जो चैन मार गयी
है आजारे सजनी आजरे
म्य्सोरे से आई वोह
अखियों से तीर मार गयी
चमकाए दिल में तारा
प्यासा हूँ प्यार का मारा
समझे न दिल ये मेरा
मदिरा की घूमर मार गयी
है आजारे …. है
Her face is like the moon
Her hair, flowing like a river
In it, a garland of pearls
Eyes, that take away all my peace!
Won’t you come here my love
The girl from Mysore, shot arrows from her eyes
With only a few words, she stole my heart
Her heart shines like a star
I am thirsting for her love
My heart refuses to listen
Mysore se Aayi Woh, Akhiyon se teer maar gayi
Bole na bole re, dil ko churake le gayi
Chand ka tukda hai chehera
Beheti baalon ki dhara
Usme moti ka gajra
Aankhen jo chain maar gayi
Hey aajare, sajni, aajare
Mysore se Aayi Woh, Akhiyon se teer maar gayi
Bole na bole re, dil ko churake le gayi
Chamkaye dil mein tara
Pyasa hoon, pyar ka maara
Samje na dil ye mera
Madira ki ghoomar maar gayi
Hey aajare .. Hai!
