chor sipahi ke jhagde me hogi kiski jeet
chor kisi ke meet yaha na mor kisi ke meet

yu ghur ghur ghur ke nihara na karo
yu dur dur dur se ishara na karo
ishara na karo nihara na karo
aisi khataye bhul ke dobara na karo
charo taraf pahra laga hai afsaran ka
ye vaqt hai mere tumhare imtihan ka
ha bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
jhatpat bhar lao jamuna se matki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
jhatpat bhar lao jamuna se matki

yu ghur ghur ghur ke nihara na karo
yu dur dur dur se ishara na karo
ishara na karo nihara na karo
aisi khataye bhul ke dobara na karo
charo taraf pahra laga hai afsaran ka
ye vaqt hai mere tumhare imtihan ka
ha bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
jhatpat bhar lao jamuna se matki

sabhi ki lenge ye baari baari
ye vardi vale talashi lenge
ho koi majburi koi lachari
kisi ko bhi ye nahi chodenge
ha ha lenge ye baari baari
ye vardi vale talashi lenge
ho koi majburi koi lachari
kisi ko bhi ye nahi chodenge
dekh ke chehra dil ki baate jaan le inki ankhe
inki gahri ankhe sidhe sabke dilo me jhanke
harpal har shan sabki gardan suli pe latki
latki latki latki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
jhatpat bhar lao jamuna se matki
ha jhatpat bhar lao jamuna se matki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki
bahut kathin hai dagar panghat ki

In the thief's chase, who shall truly win?
For here, the thief befriends no kin.

Do not glare, with eyes that pierce the soul,
Nor gesture from a distance, taking hold.
Do not gesture, nor with gaze consume,
Repeat not errors that bring forth doom.
The wardens watch, their borders tightly drawn,
This moment tests us, until the dawn.
Yes, hard the path to the sacred well,
Fetch swiftly, from the Yamuna, the water's swell.
Hard the path to the sacred well,
Fetch swiftly, from the Yamuna, the water's swell.

The wardens watch, their borders tightly drawn,
This moment tests us, until the dawn.
Yes, hard the path to the sacred well,
Fetch swiftly, from the Yamuna, the water's swell.

They'll seize each one, in turn, and each alone,
These men of uniform, will search, will own.
No plea of need, no burden or despair,
Will stay their hand, for none are spared.
Yes, they'll seize each one, in turn and each alone,
These men of uniform, will search, will own.
No plea of need, no burden or despair,
Will stay their hand, for none are spared.
Their eyes will read the heart's hidden plea,
Their knowing gaze will pierce eternally.
Each moment, each breath, the noose hangs near,
Hangs near, hangs near.
Hard the path to the sacred well,
Fetch swiftly, from the Yamuna, the water's swell.
Yes, fetch swiftly, from the Yamuna, the water's swell.
Hard the path to the sacred well.
Hard the path to the sacred well.
Hard the path to the sacred well.
Hard the path to the sacred well.
Hard the path to the sacred well.
Hard the path to the sacred well.
