mila gulab to bhawre bhi gungunane lage
nazar uthayi to mujhko sabhi diwane lage
nasha shabab ka kaha chhupta hai
huyi jawan to sab ghar ko aane jaane lage

jawani ko rakha tha kab se chhupa ke
mai aayi hu logo se bachte bachaate
jawani ko rakha tha kab se chhupa ke
mai aayi hu logo se bachte bachaate
haye raste me, haye raste me
haye raste me jora jori ho gayi
sab kehte hai, sab kehte hai
sab kehte hai chhori chhichori ho gayi
sab kehte hai chhori chhichori ho gayi

jab se nikammi jawani ye aayi
behke kadam, mai sambhal bhi na paayi
jab se nikammi jawani ye aayi
behke kadam, mai sambhal bhi na paayi
jaau to jaau mai kis raaste se
julmi nigodo se kaise bachaau
baali umar me kishori ho gayi
sab kehte hai, sab kehte hai
sab kehte hai chhori chhichori ho gayi
sab kehte hai chhori chhichori ho gayi

mauhalle me mere hai saare diwane
khinche dupatta, mujhe maare taane
mauhalle me mere hai saare diwane
khinche dupatta, mujhe maare taane
mai agge agge jaau, wo piche piche aaye
mar jaau sharam se par wo naa sharmaye
khincha-taani me angiya bhi chori ho gayi
sab kehte hai, sab kehte hai
sab kehte hai chhori chhichori ho gayi
sab kehte hai chhori chhichori ho gayi
sab kehte hai chhori chhichori ho gayi
chhichori ho gayi raani

When roses bloomed, the bees began to hum,
And eyes met mine, a madness overcome.
The wine of youth, where does it hide its blush?
As I blossomed, they swarmed, a sudden rush.

I kept my youth, a secret, safe and deep,
Avoiding glances, secrets I did keep.
I kept my youth, a secret, safe and deep,
Avoiding glances, secrets I did keep.
Alas, upon the road, alas,
Alas, a clash, a forceful plight, alas!
They all now cry, they all proclaim,
They all now cry, a tarnished name,
They all now cry, a tarnished name.

Since this useless youth, a tempest unleashed,
My steps faltered, my balance breached.
Since this useless youth, a tempest unleashed,
My steps faltered, my balance breached.
Where can I flee, what path to take?
How can I from these tormentors break?
A maiden young, now soiled, they say,
They all now cry, they all proclaim,
They all now cry, a tarnished name,
They all now cry, a tarnished name.

The neighborhood, a gallery of desire,
They tug my shawl, their taunts set fire.
The neighborhood, a gallery of desire,
They tug my shawl, their taunts set fire.
I walk ahead, they follow in my wake,
I wish to die of shame, their hearts don’t break.
In their struggle, my blouse, stolen in vain,
They all now cry, they all proclaim,
They all now cry, a tarnished name,
They all now cry, a tarnished name.
They all now cry, a tarnished name,
A tarnished name, my queen.
