saathiyaa saathiyaa maddham maddham teri gili hansi
beloved, your laughter is fluid and soft
saathiyaa saathiyaa sunke hamne saari pi li hansi
when I heard it, my love, I drank up all the laughter
hansti rahe tuu hansti rahe hayaa ki laali khilti rahe
keep laughing, keep laughing! may your blushes of modesty continue to bloom
zulf ke niche gardan pe subah o shaam milti rahe
may dusk and dawn continue to meet where your hair slides across your nape
hansti rahe tuu hansti rahe hayaa ki laali khilti rahe
keep laughing, keep laughing! may your blushes of modesty continue to bloom
zulf ke niche gardan pe subah o shaam milke rahe
may dusk and dawn continue to meet where your hair slides across your nape
saundhi si hansi teri khilti rahe milti rahe
may your perfumed laughter continue to bloom
pili dhuup pahanke tum dekho baag mein mat jaana
when you dress in yellow sunshine, look, don't go into the garden!
bhanvare tum ko sab chherenge phuulon mein mat jaana
all the bees will harass you; don't go out amidst the flowers!
maddham maddham hans de phir se
laugh again for me, softly;
sona sona phir se hans de
give me another beautiful laugh
taaza gire patte ki tarah sabze laan par lete huye
lying on the lawn like freshly fallen leaves,
saat rang hain bahaaron ke ek adaa mein lapete huye
you are seven shades of spring, all rolled up in one fashion:
saawan baadal saare tum se
the rain, the clouds, it's all from you
mausam mausam hanste rahana
keep laughing, season to season;
maddham maddham hanste rahana
leep laughing softly
saathiyaa saathiyaa maddham maddham teri gili hansi
beloved, your laughter is fluid and soft
saathiyaa saathiyaa sunke hamne saari pi li hansi
hearing it, my love, I drank up all your laughter
kabhi nile aasmaan pe chalo ghuumne chalen ham
come wander sometime with me through the blue sky
