hum jaan gaye sarkar, tum lakh karo inkaar
hum jaan gaye sarkar, tum lakh karo inkaar
chehre se pasina pochiye, ho gaya hai tumko pyar
ho ho hum jaan gaye sarkar, tum lakh karo inkaar
chehre se pasina pochiye, ho gaya hai tumko pyar
ho ho hum jaan gaye sarkar

kyu husn ki dekh ke chaal, ho jaate ho behaal
aankhe bhi tumhari lal, kiya kisne jadu daal
ha humse to kaho kuch haal, ha kyo bikhre hai ye baal
tum lakh bano hoshiyar, karti hai nazar iqraar
tum lakh bano hoshiyar, karti hai nazar iqraar
chehre se pasina pochiye, ho gaya hai tumko pyar
ho ho hum jaan gaye sarkar

hai rang bhari ye sham, baadal ka chalkta jaam
bijli bhi karti salam, mausam deta hai paiyaam
ha is dil ko yu na thaam, ha kahi pyar na ho badnaam
kish waqt ho aankhe char, chadta ha thanda bukhar
kish waqt ho aankhe char, chadta ha thanda bukhar
chehre se pasina pochiye, ho gaya hai tumko pyar
ho ho hum jaan gaye sarkar

main nadiya tum tofaan, main dil hu tum armaan
tum bansi aur main taan, duniya bhi aaj jawaan
ha aankhon ka ishara jaan, ha mere sharmile mehmaan
lo aanchal ki patwar, ban jao khewanhar
lo aanchal ki patwar, ban jao khewanhar
chehre se pasina pochiye, ho gaya hai tumko pyar
ho ho hum jaan gaye sarkar, tum lakh karo inkaar
chehre se pasina pochiye, ho gaya hai tumko pyar

We know, O Ruler, though you deny,
We know, O Ruler, though you deny,
Wipe the sweat from your brow, love has taken hold, nearby.
Ho ho, we know, O Ruler, though you deny,
Wipe the sweat from your brow, love has taken hold, nearby.
Ho ho, we know, O Ruler.

Why at beauty's dance, do you lose all control,
Your eyes turn so red, what spell has taken its toll?
Tell us your plight, what tale do your tresses unfold?
Though you feign such grace, your gaze betrays, embraces the soul.
Though you feign such grace, your gaze betrays, embraces the soul.
Wipe the sweat from your brow, love has taken hold, nearby.
Ho ho, we know, O Ruler.

This evening so vibrant, the clouds spill their wine,
Even the lightning bows down, the season's design.
Don’t hold back your heart, lest love you enshrine.
When eyes meet in that instant, a cold fever's design.
When eyes meet in that instant, a cold fever's design.
Wipe the sweat from your brow, love has taken hold, nearby.
Ho ho, we know, O Ruler.

I am the river, you the storm's embrace,
I am the heart, you the soul's space,
You the flute, and I the song's trace,
The world itself finds love's pace.
Read the signal in my eyes, shy guest, seek grace,
Take my veil, my oar, a boatman's embrace.
Take my veil, my oar, a boatman's embrace.
Wipe the sweat from your brow, love has taken hold, nearby.
Ho ho, we know, O Ruler, though you deny,
Wipe the sweat from your brow, love has taken hold, nearby.
