Lyrics

दिलमा हजूर आएर मात्रै मलाई थाहा भो
मेरो पनि जवानी आइसकेको रहेछ

मैलाई थाहा थिएन मेरो यो हेराइले
मोहनी लाग्छ अरूलाई मेरो कुरा गराइले
हजूरै नजिक भएर मात्रै मलाई थाहा भो
भरखरको जस्तो बचपन बितिसकेको रहेछ

पहिले म अहिलेजस्तै मुस्काउन जान्दिनथेँ
अरुले मलाई हेर्दा सर्माउन जान्दिनथेँ
माया हजूरको पाएर मात्रै मलाई थाहा भो
मेरो पुरानो बानी बदलिसकेको रहेछ

Transliterated

Dilma hajur aaera matrai malai thaha bho
Mero pani jawani aaisakeko rahechha

Mailai thaha thiena mero yo heraile
Mohani lagchha arulai mero kura garaile
Hajurai najik bhaera matrai malai thaha bho
Bharakharko jasto bachapana bitisakeko rahechha

Pahile ma ahilejastai muskauna jandinathe
Arule malai herda sarmauna jandinathe
Maya hajurko paera matrai malai thaha bho
Mero purano bani badalisakeko rahechha

Translated

It was only when you came into my heart
That I realized my youth had also arrived

Unaware was I that with my looks
People get mesmerized with the way I talk
It was when you came close that I found
That my childish innocence had faded out

I did not know how to smile as I do now
Neither to shy away from people’s glance
It was when I got your love that I found
That my old ways were already changed
