chor ko dhundhe pehredar, dil dhundhe dildaar
pyaar dhundane main aayi hun leke nayi bahaar
chor ko dhundhe pehredar

laakho hai mushkile chhoti si meri jaan
laakho hai mushkile chhoti si meri jaan
raah nahi jaana na koi pehchaana
raah nahi jaana na koi pehchaana
bhari mehfil me sabhi anjaana
bhari mehfil me sabhi anjaana
koi na sune hay meri ye pukaar
chor ko dhunde pahredaar, dil dhundhe dildaar
pyaar dhundane main aayi hun leke nayi bahaar
chor ko dhundhe pehredar

zindagi daaw pe hamane di hai laga
zindagi daaw pe hamane di hai laga
ab kya pachhtaana ab kya ghabraana
ab kya pachhtaana ab kya ghabraana
samaa pe mit jaau banke parwaana
samaa pe mit jaau banke parwaana
mere ye dil ko aa jaayega karaar
chor ko dhunde pahredaar, dil dhundhe dildaar
pyaar dhundane main aayi hun leke nayi bahaar
chor ko dhundhe pehredar

The guard seeks the thief, the heart seeks the beloved,
I come seeking love, bearing a fresh spring.
The guard seeks the thief.

Millions of woes for my little life,
Millions of woes for my little life,
No path known, none recognized,
No path known, none recognized,
In a crowded gathering, all strangers,
In a crowded gathering, all strangers,
None to heed my desperate call.
The guard seeks the thief, the heart seeks the beloved,
I come seeking love, bearing a fresh spring.
The guard seeks the thief.

Life itself, I've wagered it all,
Life itself, I've wagered it all,
Why regret now, why fear now?
Why regret now, why fear now?
To vanish in the flame, a moth,
To vanish in the flame, a moth,
Peace will come at last to my heart.
The guard seeks the thief, the heart seeks the beloved,
I come seeking love, bearing a fresh spring.
The guard seeks the thief.
