he chal ri amiran, he chal re fakire
chal ri amiran, lak dak dak pak
chal re fakire jhibi chak jhibi chak
dhire dhire bidi bidi bidi bidi bidi bidi bidi bidi
o bandariya o bandariya apne bandar se jhagadna hai bura
ik zara si baat par aise bigadna hai bura

arey tera yu najar chura ke jana haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye
arey tera yu najar chura ke jana haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye

ruth ke kaha chali, o meri champa kali
palat o palat, ai palat tera dhayan kidhar hai bai
ruth ke kaha chali, o meri champa kali
kab talak firunga mai, iss tarah gali gali
tere bina mere dil ki, dil me rahi jaye haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye
tera yu nazar chura ke jana haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye

dil chura ke chal diye, wah kya kamal hai
ai tussi ai tussi ai tussi great ho ji
dil chura ke chal diye, vah kya kamal hai
chor jaisi harkate, mor jaisi chal hai
maal bhi churaye, aur aankh bhi dikhaye haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye
tera yu nazar chura ke jana haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye

berukhi se iss tarah, jate hain toh jayiye
berukhi se iss tarah, jate hain toh jayiye
hath na maliye janab, honth na chabaiye
bekadar ho pyar kya hai, tum na samajh paye haye haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye
tera yu najar chura ke jana haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye
tera yu najar chura ke jana haye haye
yu shuru hua hai yeh fasana haye haye

Oh, wealthy woman, wander forth, oh, mendicant, take flight,
Wealthy woman, click clack, clack-click of night.
Mendicant, chirp, chirp, the sparrow's trill,
Slowly, the embers glow, the soul's still.

Oh, monkey, oh, monkey, to brawl with your kin is sin,
Over trifles, a tempest within.

Your gaze, averted, a stolen glance, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.
Your gaze, averted, a stolen glance, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.

Where do you flee, my jasmine bloom of grace?
Turn back, oh turn, turn back, your heart misplaced.
Where do you flee, my jasmine bloom of grace?
How long must I wander, through every place?
Without you, my heart's longing, forever will sigh, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.
Your gaze, averted, a stolen glance, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.

You steal my heart and then depart, a feat so grand,
You, you, you, are truly grand.
You steal my heart and then depart, a feat so grand,
Thief's actions, a peacock's dance across the land.
You steal the treasure, and then you scold, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.
Your gaze, averted, a stolen glance, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.

With indifference, you depart, then go, then go,
With indifference, you depart, then go, then go.
Do not clasp my hand, dear, do not bite your lip so,
You, unaware, of love's deep flow, alas, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.
Your gaze, averted, a stolen glance, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.
Your gaze, averted, a stolen glance, alas, alas,
Thus the tale began, its shadows cast, alas, alas.
