soch ke hath pakad na re, mat jana is akeli pe
mere pas jo aaye rakhe apni jan hatheli pe
ho raja babu ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hai khayal rakhna
ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hai khayal rakhna

ja tere hatho me mera aanchal nahi aayeha
mere pichhe pichhe bhagega to dhokha khayega
chaltee hawa ko pakadana hai mushkil
yad hamesha ye misal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hai khayal rakhna
ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hai khayal rakhna

aag sey jo khela karte hain wo divane hote hai
mujhko chhedke hasne wale dil ko tham ke rote hai
ponchhega tu kaise apne aansu
jeb me hamesha rumal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hain khayal rakhna
ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hai khayal rakhna

tune kya socha hai tujhse dar ke mai jhuk jaungee
mai bijali hu kya mai tere roke se ruk jaungee
mai tere bas me na aaungee rasiya
dil ke ye arman nikal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hai khayal rakhna
ho raja babu dil ko sambhal rakhna
mere sang chhuri hai khayal rakhna
ho raja babu

Clutch not the hand of thought, tread not this path alone,
For those who come to me, life they must enthrone.
Oh, Raja Babu, Raja Babu, guard your heart with care,
A blade I carry, heed my snare.
Oh, Raja Babu, Raja Babu, guard your heart with care,
A blade I carry, heed my snare.

Never will my veil grace your hands' embrace,
Chase me, and betrayal you will face.
To grasp the wind in motion, a futile art,
Remember always this, and keep it in your heart.
A blade I carry, heed my snare.
Oh, Raja Babu, Raja Babu, guard your heart with care,
A blade I carry, heed my snare.

Those who play with fire, they are truly mad,
Those who laugh at me, weep with hearts that are sad.
How then will you wipe away your tears' flow?
Always in your pocket, a handkerchief you must bestow.
A blade I carry, heed my snare.
Oh, Raja Babu, Raja Babu, guard your heart with care,
A blade I carry, heed my snare.

Do you think that fear will make me bend my knee?
I am lightning, will I halt at your decree?
I shall not be yours, my love, you can't contain,
Keep this ambition ever in your brain.
A blade I carry, heed my snare.
Oh, Raja Babu, Raja Babu, guard your heart with care,
A blade I carry, heed my snare.
Oh, Raja Babu...
