baat badhti gayi khel khel me baat badhti gayi khel khel me
lakh chaha ke roku ke roku magar
lakh chaha ke roku ke roku magar
baat badhti gayi khel khel me baat badhti gayi

moh se kahne lage moh se kahne lage
jab se aankhe mile aankh lagti nahi
aankh lagti nahi tare gin gin ke tumhari kasam
rat katti nahi rat katti nahi hamne aankhe dikhakara kaha kya
piche padte ho pahle hi mel me
baat badhti gayi khel khel me
lakh chaha ke roku ke roku magar baat badhti gayi khel khel me

hamri ungli pakad ke wo poche pe pahuche
hamri ungli pakad ke wo poche pe pahuche
to dhak dhak jiya mora dhak dhak
kan me kuch kaha dil dhulakne ko tha
bhai kabu kiya hamne kabu kaha
jhat se baiya chud kar kaha kya
ab na mane to jaaoge jel me baat badhti gayi khel khel me
lakh chaha ke roku ke roku magar baat badhti gayi khel khel me

fir wo ache bhale fir wo ache bhale
hamre paiya pade hamka aaya taras
hamka aaya taras
hamne kaha ye pyar ke badra kyu naja ye baras
kyu naja ye baras
aage fir hota kya mai bhi chup wo bhi chup
mai bhi chup wo bhi chup

A game began, a playful jest, it grew,
A thousand pleas to halt, to hold it true,
A thousand pleas to stem the rising tide,
But in the game, the words could not hide.

Their lips began to speak, a newfound art,
Since eyes first met, sleep fled my heart,
Sleep would not come, counting stars in vain,
Sworn to you, the night would never wane.
The night would never end, we said with glance,
Why chase me now, in this initial dance?
A game it was, and grew beyond control,
A thousand pleas to save my very soul.

My finger held, they led me to the shore,
My finger held, and where the waves would pour,
My heart, it thumped, a frantic, urgent beat,
Then whispered words, my racing heart to greet,
My heart would fall, I fought with all my might,
I fought with all my might, to hold the light.
Then snatched away my hand, and turned to say,
If you persist, you'll meet the jail's dark sway.
A game it was, and grew beyond control,
A thousand pleas to save my very soul.

Then, good and kind, they fell before my feet,
Then, good and kind, my heart with pity sweet,
My heart with pity, moved by their plight,
I said, let love's true rain now take its flight,
Let love's true rain now fall from skies above,
What happened then? Silence and the love,
What happened then? Silence, mine and theirs,
Mine and theirs, and the ending of all cares.
