chiklak chiklak chumbi
nahi chhode pichha na maane kahna sunna
ye ladka to hai ya bada hi lappujhana
ise samajhayungi ke mera rasta chhode
jo na mil sakti nahi uska diwana kya banna

lut baitha jo dil use kya kahna
nahi bachchon ka khel koi divana banna
jo chaho samajho tum mohabbat ki hai maine
to kaise chhodu bolo jane tamanna

jaake ab saji hai mahfil kitni mahafilo ke baad
aaj ham mile hain jaake kitne fasalo ke baad
dar badar bhatakne ko kaise chhod de tumko
dil ek dilabar paaya itni mushkilo ke baad
wo mil gaye hain jo sajan the mere kaabil
mai bhi hu majabur kya karu mai kya kare dil
dil dil dil

aaj to divani ho tu aaj hai tumhari shaam
ye nasha utar jaaye to logi phir mera hi naam
kaise kaise aa jate hain akal se chale paidal
koi aake puchhe inse aapka yaha kya kam
ae phir se dekho tumhare kab hai kaabil
ye dil gaya to kya karu mai kya kare dil

nahi chhode pichha na maane kahna sunana
ye ladka to yaar bada hi lappujhanna
jo chaaho samajho tum mohabbat ki hai maine
to kaise chhodu tumko o jane tamanna

A clinging shadow, a kiss of the clay,
It hounds me still, heedless of what I say.
This boy, a moth drawn to the flame,
I must make him see, to leave my path, my claim.
Why chase a love that can never be?

What words for a heart already lost at sea?
A fool's game, this, to be a devotee.
If you believe I've loved with all my being,
How can I abandon you, my heart's decree?

Now a gathering blooms, after the years' long flight,
We meet again, after a distance of the night.
The wanderer, how can he ever leave you be?
A lover found at last, after such strife and fight.
They are found, my love, my worthy one.
I am helpless, what can I do, what can this heart have spun?
Heart, heart, heart.

Tonight, be a madman, tonight is your eve,
When the intoxication fades, my name you'll retrieve.
Fools they come, the wise ones lost their way,
What brings you here, tell me, what do you believe?
Look again, are you really worthy?
If this heart is gone, what can I do, what can this heart be?

It hounds me still, heedless of what I say.
This boy, a moth drawn to the flame, they say.
If you believe I've loved with all my being,
How can I abandon you, my heart's decree?
