daroga ji daroga ji chori ho gayi ho daroga ji chori ho gayi
ho meri chori ho gayi daroga ji chori ho gayi
bade lado se dil ko pala tha aathra baras sambhala tha
unisive baras me mai barbad ho gayi
daroga ji daroga ji chori ho gayi ho daroga ji chori ho gayi

kagaj kalm davat lo likho rapat meri sa
kagaj kalm davat lo likho rapat meri sa
chori hui ye ajeb si sona gaya na paisa
jagu mai raat sari meri nind kho gayi
daroga ji daroga ji chori ho gayi ho daroga ji chori ho gayi
ho meri chori ho gayi daroga ji chori ho gayi
mujhko pata tha ek din hoga jarur dhokha
mujhko pata tha ek din hoga jarur dhokha
karti thi roj band mai khidaki har jharokha
ghar chhoad ke khula haye mai kal raat so gayi

daroga ji daroga ji chori ho gayi ho daroga ji chori ho gayi
ho meri chori ho gayi daroga ji chori ho gayi pucho ke tum sawal
bolo lagta tha chor kaisa pucho ke tum sawal
bolo lagta tha chor kaisa rab jhut na bulaye
uska chehara tha aap jaisa uska chehara tha aap jaisa nahi nahi
tum pe bhul maaf kah do bhul ho gayi
daroga ji daroga ji chori ho gayi ho daroga ji chori ho gayi
bade lado se dil ko pala tha aathra baras sambhala tha
unisive baras me mai barbad ho gayi
daroga ji daroga ji chori ho gayi ho daroga ji chori ho gayi

Constable, oh Constable, a theft has occurred,
Constable, a theft has occurred,
My very self, stolen, Constable, stolen, unheard.

A heart I nurtured with such tender grace,
For eighteen years, I kept its sacred space,
In the nineteenth year, I'm utterly lost, erased.
Constable, oh Constable, a theft has occurred,
Constable, a theft has occurred.

Ink, pen, and paper, write my plea,
Ink, pen, and paper, set my anguish free,
A strange, strange theft, no gold, no coin, you see,
I stayed awake all night, my slumber flees,
Constable, oh Constable, a theft has occurred,
Constable, a theft has occurred,

I knew, I knew, deceit would come one day,
I knew, I knew, it'd steal my light away,
Each day I'd lock each window, every way,
Leaving my home unguarded, yesterday,
Constable, oh Constable, a theft has occurred,
Constable, a theft has occurred,

Ask your questions now, let the truth be known,
Ask, tell me, what the thief had shown,
May God not let my words be overthrown,
His face, it mirrored yours, I'm prone
To say, no, no, forgive this error, sown,
Constable, oh Constable, a theft has occurred,
Constable, a theft has occurred,

A heart I nurtured with such tender grace,
For eighteen years, I kept its sacred space,
In the nineteenth year, I'm utterly lost, erased.
Constable, oh Constable, a theft has occurred,
Constable, a theft has occurred.
