chal bhag chale chal bhag chle purab kee or
pyar meraa naa choree kar le
ye pashchim ke chor re
chal bhag chale purab kee or
chal bhag chale purab kee or
pyar meraa naa choree kar le ye
pashchim ke chor re
chal bhag chale purab kee or

agar ye teraa rang salona
agar ye teraa rang salona
aur ye kale nain naa hote
dekh ke tujhko pashchim vale
aaj yu bechain naa hote
ram kare ram kare tu ho jaye
gora bhag jaye sab chor re
chal bhag chale bhag chle purab ki or

baithe chaaro or shikaree
baithe chaaro or shikaree
rup kaa jal bichha ke
o purab ke bhole panchhee udd ja pankh phaila ke
o mere o mere punam ke chanda jhuth ye chakore re
chal bhag chale bhag chle purab ki or

Let us flee, let us flee, eastward we must roam,
Lest they steal the love I hold,
These thieves of the West, they roam.
Let us flee, let us flee, eastward to our home.
Let us flee, let us flee, eastward we must roam,
Lest they steal the love I hold,
These thieves of the West, they roam.
Let us flee, let us flee, eastward to our home.

If your skin held not this glow,
If your eyes held not this night,
If they were not dark pools of grace,
The West would not know this plight.
May God make, may God make, you pale as snow,
And send these thieves fleeing from your shore.
Let us flee, let us flee, eastward we must roam.

Hunters gather, they surround,
Hunters gather, they surround,
With webs of beauty, they do bind,
Fly, O East, spread your wings unbound.
My moon, my moon of the full, these Chakora lie,
Let us flee, let us flee, eastward we must roam.
