hoye hoye hoye
chupke se gori chupke se
gori chupke se aaya koi chor re
koi chor re
mere babul ke khet me
chupke se aaya koi chor re
koi chor re
mere babul ke khet me

aao more babul ne boyi kapas re
ho more babul ne boyi kapas re
babul ka dil kahi tod na dena
babul ka dil kahi tod na dena
aana na kheto ke pas re
aana na kheto ke pas re
bach ke rahna
ho bach ke rahna
ho o ji bach ke rahna, bach ke rahna
tum jo aaye mancha dungi shor re
ho shor re,
more babul ke khet me
chupke se gori chupke se
gori chupke se aaya koi chor re
koi chor re
mere babul ke khet me

ho teri arzi nahi manjur re
ho teri arzi nahi manjur re
naukar se raja kahi ban na jana
naukar se raja kahi ban na jana
rahna ji hamse dur dur re
rahna ji hamse dur dur re
o phul sarso ke jis din khilenge
o phul sarso ke jis din khilenge
khet me tumse chup kar milenge
chor ban jayega chit chor re
o chit chor re
tere babul ke khet me
chupke se gori chupke se
gori chupke se aaya koi chor re
koi chor re
mere babul ke khet me
hoye bachke rahna o ji bachke rahna
bachke rahna bachke rahna

Hush, hush, hush,
A thief crept in, silent and unseen,
A thief, oh, a thief,
Into my father's field,
A thief crept in, silent and unseen,
A thief, oh, a thief,
Into my father's field.

My father sowed cotton, soft and white,
My father sowed cotton, in the fading light,
Do not break his heart,
Do not break his heart,
Stay far from the fields,
Stay far from the fields,
Beware,
Oh, beware,
Oh, beware, be mindful,
If you come, I will raise a cry,
A cry, oh, a cry,
In my father's field,
Hush, hush, hush,
A thief crept in, silent and unseen,
A thief, oh, a thief,
Into my father's field.

Your plea is denied,
Your plea is denied,
Do not rise from servant to king,
Do not rise from servant to king,
Stay far away from me,
Stay far away from me,
When the mustard flowers bloom,
When the mustard flowers bloom,
I will meet you secretly in the field,
The thief will become a heart-thief,
Oh, heart-thief,
In your father's field,
Hush, hush, hush,
A thief crept in, silent and unseen,
A thief, oh, a thief,
Into my father's field.
Beware, oh, be mindful,
Be mindful, be mindful.
