ओ रे पिया! [x6]
उड़ने लगा क्यूँ मन बावला रे?
आया कहाँ से यह हौसला रे?
ओ रे पिया [x2]
Oh, beloved! [x6]
Oh, why did my crazy heart begin to fly?
Oh, where did this courage come from?
Oh, beloved! [x2]

ताना-बाना, ताना-बाना
बुनती हवा, हाए, बुनती हवा
बूंदें भी तो आईं नहीं बाज़ यहाँ।
साज़िश में शामिल सारा जहान है;
हर ज़र्रे ज़र्रे की यह इल्तिजा है:
The breeze weaves, ah, the breeze weaves
a fabric, a fabric,
and even raindrops didn't keep away here.
The whole world is involved in an intrigue;
every single particle has this entreaty:

ओ रे पिया!
नज़रें बोलें, दुनिया तोले,
दिल की ज़बान,
हाए, दिल की ज़बान।
इश्क़ माँगे, इश्क़ चाहे, कोई तूफ़ान।
चलना आहिस्ते, इश्क़ नया है;
पहला यह वादा हम ने किया है
ओ रे पिया! [x3]
Oh, beloved!
The glances speak, the world judges
the tongue of the heart,
ah, the tongue of the heart.
Love begs and love desires some typhoon.
Tread carefully, it is a new love;
this is the first time I have made a promise
Oh, beloved! [x3]

पिया … रे, पिया!
नंगे पैरों पे अंगारों,
चलती रही,
हाए, चलती रही।
लगता है कि ग़ैरों में
मैं पलती रही!
ले चल वहाँ जो, मुल्क तेरा है,
जाहिल ज़माना, दुश्मन मेरा है
ओ रे पिया! [x6]
Beloved … oh, beloved!
Barefoot on embers,
I used to walk,
ah, I used to walk.
It seems that I used to be raised
among strangers!
Take me where yor country is,
this ignorant world is my enemy
Oh, beloved! [x6]

ओ रे पिया! [x4]
O Re Piyaa (Hindi: ओ रे पिया, Urdu: و رے پیا) "Oh, Beloved!", is a song of the 2007 Indian dance film "Aaja Nachle".
The video clip plays an abridged version of the original soundtrack.
It shows Dia, a successful dancer and choreographer, remembering her times as a dance student in her small homeland town, and later breaking her arranged engagement and eloping with a foreign photographer she fell in love with.
Dia's role is played by the legendary Indian dancer, actress, and producer
Madhuri Dixit.
The song is interpreted by the famous Pakistani ghazal singer
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (although it grammatically expresses the point of view of a woman).
The lyrics were written by the Indian composer duo
Salim-Sulaiman, and the music was composed by the Indian song and screenwriters Jaideep Sahni and Piyush Mishra.
