kabhi akad kar baat na karna humse are mawali
ek najar me humne tumko dil ki dilli de dali
surat gori chal nirali aankh badi matwali
ek najar me humne tumko dil ki dilli de dali

kabhi akad kar baat na karna humse are mawali
ek najar me humne tumko dil ki dilli de dali
surat gori chal nirali aankh badi matwali
ek najar me humne tumko dil ki dilli de dali

humne bhi to diya hai tumko jaan ka calcutta
ab darte ho kahi jamana kaat na dale patta
humne bhi to diya hai tumko jaan ka culcutta
ab darte ho kahi jamana kaat na dale patta
hoshiyar sayyad hai sajni aur bhola hai mali
ek najar me humne tumko dil ki dilli de dali
kabhi akad kar baat na karna humse are mawali
ek najar me humne tumko dil ki dilli de dali

najro se kyu chupa re balma puche pyar kaha hai
najro se kyu chupa re balma puche pyar kaha hai
abhi abhi jo tere paas tha wo dildar kaha hai
abhi abhi jo tere paas tha wo dildar kaha hai
humne mana hum hai budhe dil to abhi jawa hai
hum bhi koi kam to nahi hai kisi se o dil wali
ek najar me humne tumko dil ki dilli de dali
are ek najar me humne tumko
dil ki dilli dil ki dilli
dil ki dilli dil ki dilli
dil ki dilli dil ki dilli de dali

Never speak to me with a haughty air, you rogue,
In a single glance, I’ve given you Delhi, my heart's home.
Fair of face, a unique gait, eyes wild and bold,
In a single glance, I've given you Delhi, my heart's home.

Never speak to me with a haughty air, you rogue,
In a single glance, I’ve given you Delhi, my heart's home.
Fair of face, a unique gait, eyes wild and bold,
In a single glance, I've given you Delhi, my heart's home.

And I, too, have given you Kolkata, my life's core,
Now you tremble, lest the world snip away love's shore.
And I, too, have given you Kolkata, my life's core,
Now you tremble, lest the world snip away love's shore.
The hunter is cunning, my love, while the gardener is pure,
In a single glance, I’ve given you Delhi, my heart's home.
Never speak to me with a haughty air, you rogue,
In a single glance, I’ve given you Delhi, my heart's home.

Why hide away from my gaze, beloved, where does love reside?
Why hide away from my gaze, beloved, where does love reside?
The one who was just with you, where has that darling now gone?
The one who was just with you, where has that darling now gone?
I admit, I may be aging, but my heart is still young and bright,
And I am no less than anyone, oh, you with the loving heart,
In a single glance, I’ve given you Delhi, my heart's home.
Oh, in a single glance, I’ve given you...
Delhi of the heart, Delhi of the heart,
Delhi of the heart, Delhi of the heart,
Delhi of the heart, Delhi of the heart, given.
