babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne tu
babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne

teri ankh jo meri ankh se
gup chup kare sawal
gup chup gup chup kare sawal
bin bole de diya jawab meri ankho ka kamal
meri ankho ka kamal
babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne tu
babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne

kahe jigar ka dhua nikalo, kahe pio sigret
kahe jigar ka dhua nikalo, kahe pio sigret
jo kuch man me bhed chupa hai, karo hamari bhet
karo hamari bhet
andar andar jal jaoge chup chup rahne se
chup chup rahne se
dil halka ho jaye dil ki bat kahne se
dil ki bat kahne se
babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne tu
babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne

tik tik ho tik tik ho tik tik tik
tik tik ho tik tik ho tik tik tik
bole dil ki ghadi der ho gayi badi
ab jao ji apne raste
main jhuk jhuk karu namaste namaste
namaste namaste
babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne tu
babu re babu zara dil pe rakhna kabu
tere samne main hu mere samne

Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.
Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.

Your eyes meet mine, a silent plea,
A secret question whispered low.
Secrets shared, wordlessly, you see,
My eyes, a marvel, start to glow.
My eyes, a marvel, start to glow.
Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.
Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.

Why draw smoke, why cigarettes you crave?
Why draw smoke, why cigarettes you crave?
The secrets held, the truths to save,
Let our meeting be, let us be brave.
Let our meeting be, let us be brave.
Burning inside, in silent guise,
In silent guise,
The heart lightened when truth replies,
When truth replies.
Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.
Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.

Tick tock, tick tock, the heart's quick beat,
Tick tock, tick tock, the heart's quick beat,
The clock of love, the time we meet,
The hour's late, our paths must greet,
Now separate, I bow, retreat,
I bow, retreat.
Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.
Oh, dear one, hold your heart in check,
Before you, I stand, before me, you.
