bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me
bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me
to kya tu nahi tha piya haye mai mari gayi
bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me
to kya tu nahi tha piya haye mai mar gayi
bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me

darwa lag raha tha wo rasiya tujhse kya kahu kaisa
chin jhapat me hare bilkul wo nidar tere jaisa
dekho sajna ren andheri dekho sajna ren andheri
kaisa gazab kar gayi haye ram bahiya dharke lipta
bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me
to kya tu nahi tha piya haye mai mar gayi
bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me

tab se balma mere tan me jaise chamke bijli
mai bawariya kahe sajke teri dhun me nikli
ghar se chalke mai akeli ghar se chalke mai akeli
kaisa gazab kar gayi haye ram bahiya dharke lipta
bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me
to kya tu nahi tha piya haye mai mar gayi
bahiya dharke lipta gali ke andhere me

Clutching my arms, entwined in alley's dark embrace,
Clutching my arms, entwined in alley's dark embrace,
Was it not you, my love? Alas, I am undone.
Clutching my arms, entwined in alley's dark embrace.

Fear, it gripped me, love, what words can I find?
My peace stolen, lost within a moment, brave and bold, like thine.
Behold, my love, the night's deep shadow, behold, my love, the night's deep shadow,
What madness has befallen me? My heart, clutching my arms, entwined in dark embrace.
Clutching my arms, entwined in alley's dark embrace,
Was it not you, my love? Alas, I am undone.
Clutching my arms, entwined in alley's dark embrace.

Since then, my beloved, your essence, a lightning flash within my frame,
I, a madwoman, adorned myself, to answer your name.
Leaving home, I wandered, alone, leaving home, I wandered, alone,
What madness has befallen me? My heart, clutching my arms, entwined in dark embrace.
Clutching my arms, entwined in alley's dark embrace,
Was it not you, my love? Alas, I am undone.
Clutching my arms, entwined in alley's dark embrace.
