chali chali chali ri gori, chali balkhayi ke
gore gore mukhde pe, ghunghata giraye ke
kajara lagayi ke, gajara sajayi ke
chudi khankhayi ke, mujhe tadapayi ke
o zara hallu se pallu sarkaiyo
zara hallu se pallu sarkaiyo
gori jiya na jalaiyo, are gori jiya na jalaiyo
kahi aur jake ishqe ladaiyo
kahi aur jake ishqe ladaiyo
kahi aur jake ishqe ladaiyo
mohse nazar na milaiyo, mohse nazar na milaiyo
chali chali chali ri gori, chali balkhayi ke
gore gore mukhde pe, ghunghata giraye ke

koi sang na saheli, kaha jayegi tu akeli
zara idhar palat jaa ae palat re
koi sang na saheli, kaha jayegi tu akeli
zara idhar palat jaa
o chahu jaha jaau, tere sang nahi aau
chal pichhe hat jaa
are hat pare tu
chahu jaha jaau tere sang nahi aau
chal pichhe hat jaa
o dil ki ghanti na aise gunganaiyo
dil ki ghanti na aise gunganaiyo
babu yaha na pataiyo, are babu yaha na pataiyo
zara hallu se pallu sarkaaiyo
gori jiya na jalaaiyo, ha gori jiya na jalaaiyo

o ja re ja re harjayi, meri hogi rusvayi
tera jayadad kya
ja re ja re harjayi, meri hogi rusvayi
tera jayadad kya
achchha, tujhe dhoka nahi hoga, kar le mera tu bharosa
aise mujhe na tadpa
tujhe dhokha nahi hoga, kar le mera tu bharosa
aise mujhe na tadpa
meri baaho me aake jhul jaiyo
meri baaho me aake jhul jaiyo
matak matak na sataiyo, matak matak na sataaiyo
kahi aur jaake ishqe ladaiyo
mohse nazar na milaaiyo, mohse nazar na milaaiyo
o zara hallu se pallu sarkaiyo
gori jiya na jalaiyo, mohse nazar na milaiyo
gori jiya na jalaiyo, mohse nazar na milaiyo

She walks, she walks, my fair one, swaying,
Veil descends on her luminous face,
Kohl-lined eyes, adorned with blooms,
Bangles chime, tormenting me.

Oh, gently now, unveil your veil,
Gently now, unveil your veil.
My fair one, do not wound my soul,
Go elsewhere, wage your love's war.
Go elsewhere, wage your love's war.
Do not meet my gaze, do not meet my gaze.
She walks, she walks, my fair one, swaying,
Veil descends on her luminous face.

No friend beside you, where will you wander alone?
Turn back, just turn back, oh turn!
No friend beside you, where will you wander alone?
Turn back!

I go where I desire, with you I shall not go,
Step back from my path!
Away with you!

I go where I desire, with you I shall not go,
Step back from my path!
Do not hum your heart's bell so,
Do not hum your heart's bell so.
My dear, do not flirt here,
Gently now, unveil your veil,
My fair one, do not wound my soul,

Oh, begone, faithless one, my reputation you'll ruin,
What inheritance do you hold?
Begone, faithless one, my reputation you'll ruin,
What inheritance do you hold?

Fine, no betrayal shall you face, place your faith in me,
Do not torment me so!
No betrayal shall you face, place your faith in me,
Do not torment me so!
Come, swing into my arms,
Come, swing into my arms.
Do not tease me with your sway,
Go elsewhere, wage your love's war.
Do not meet my gaze, do not meet my gaze.
Oh, gently now, unveil your veil,
Do not meet my gaze, my fair one, do not wound my soul,
Do not meet my gaze, my fair one, do not wound my soul.
