Come Dance

My earing was brought by my friend
Which had fallen in the bazaar of Bareilly1
I got bashful after shaking my waist
And I said that they'll attach ankle bells to me, as I've come
Take me with You and dance
Come dance with me,
 
My friend
Jhanak jhanak jhankaar2
Oh Come dance with me, my friend
The whole bazaar is robbed now
Forgetting everything, just dance
Come dance with me,
my friend
Jhanak jhanak jhankaar
Come dance with me, my friend
The whole bazaar is robbed now
 
Dance a little, Call people on the roof and then dance
Dance a little, Pick it up quickly and dance (x2)
 
I'd made a mistake, my nose ring had fallen down (x2)
And so I got it colored it a golden color (at the Goldsmith's)
After donning it, I came to the balcony
And then there was so much quarreling and fights in the neighbourhood
On my door-step there is a huge rush of crazy lovers
Dance after making everyone dance
Come dance with me,
 
My friend
Jhanak jhanak jhankaar
Oh Come dance with me, my friend
The whole bazaar is robbed now....
 
I was just a tender flower-bud who walked with pride (x2)
I went ahead and swirled a little in the lane
I didn't realize when I reached my prime youth
The world's wealth bows down to me
Even the confectioner gives me loans
Dance after making everyone dance
Come dance with me,
 
My friend
Jhanak jhanak jhankaar
Oh Come dance with me, my friend
The whole bazaar is robbed now
Forgetting everything, just dance
Come dance with me,
my friend
Jhanak jhanak jhankaar
Come dance with me, my friend
The whole bazaar is robbed now
 
Dance a little, Call people on the roof and then dance
Dance a little, Pick it up quickly and dance (x2)

Partial Devanagari:

मेरा झुमका उठाके लाया रे यार वे
जो गिरा था बरेली के बाज़ार में
मैं तो ठुमका लगाके शरमा गयी
बोली घूंगर(?) बांधा देंगे मैं आ गयी
मुझको नचाके नाच ले

आज नाच ले नाच ले
मेरे यार तू नाच ले
झनक झनक झनकार
ओ नाच ले नाच ले
मेरे यार तू नाच ले
अब तो लुटा है बाज़ार
सब को भूलाके नाच ले

आज नाच ले नाच ले
मेरे यार तू नाच ले
झनक झनक झनकार
ओ नाच ले नाच ले
मेरे यार तू नाच ले
अब तो लुटा है बाज़ार

ओ नाच ले नाच ले ज़रा नाच ले नाच ले छत पे बुला के नाच ले
ओ नाच ले नाच ले ज़रा नाच ले नाच ले झट से उठाके नच ले

I'll get back to this to convert the missing sections, namely:

----1----

Maine galati kari thi, meri nathani padi thi (x2)
Ke sone mein usako ranga gayi
Mein rangaake atariya pe aa gai
Mohalhe mein kaisi maara maar hai
Bole mochi bhi khud ko sonar hai
Sab ko nacha ke nachle

----2----

Main to kamsin kali thi, zara tanke chali thi (x2)
Aage jaake gali pe balakha gayi
Muyee jaane jawaani kab aa gai
Mere sadke zamane ki kamaayi re
Mujhe deta udhaari halwaayi re
Sab ko nacha ke nachle

UPDATE

Maybe this thing found online is the rest of the Devanagari? Yup:

में तो कमसिन कली थी ज़रा तन के चले थी हाय | Main to kamsin kali thi, zara tanke chali thi
ओ, मैं तो कमसिन कली थी ज़रा तन के चली थी | Main to kamsin kali thi, zara tanke chali thi
आगे जा के गली पे बल खा गई | Aage jaake gali pe balakha gayi
मुई जाने जवानी कब आ गई | Muyee jaane jawaani kab aa gai
मेरे सदके ज़माने की कमाई रे | Mere sadke zamane ki kamaayi re
मुझे देता उधारी हलवाई रे | Mujhe deta udhaari halwaayi re
सब को नचा के नचले | Sab ko nacha ke nachle

Well OK, only section 2.
