jaan bujh kar
jaan bujh kar main deewani
kyun ho jaaun na baba
pyaar mohabbat ka main dil me
rog lagaun na baba
jaan bujh kar main deewani
kyun ho jaaun na baba

toba toba main na karungi
pyaar kisi deewane se
dil ko jalaun nain lagake
kyun main kisi anjaane se
kyun main kisi anjaane se
baithe bithae
baithe bithae apne mann ka
chain gawaun na baba
jaan bujh kar main deewani
kyun ho jaaun na baba

dil ko lagaun jaan se jaaun
kyun main aise kaam karun
saare nagar me sabki nazar me
khud ko main badnaam karun
khud ko main badnaam karun
apne hi hatho
apne hi hatho apne ghar me
aag lagaun na baba
pyaar mohabbat ka main dil me
rog lagaun na baba
jaan bujh kar main deewani
kyun ho jaaun na baba.

Deliberately, I ask,
Deliberately, shall I become undone?
Why, oh Father, should I succumb?
To love's sweet poison, a sickness sown?
Deliberately, I ask,
Why, oh Father, should I become undone?

No, no, I vow,
I will not love a madman's plea.
To burn my heart with gazing eyes,
For a stranger's ill destiny?
For a stranger's ill destiny?
To sit, and idle,
To sit, and lose my peace of mind,
Shall I, oh Father, become undone?
Deliberately, I ask,
Why, oh Father, should I become undone?

To give my heart, and lose my soul,
Why would I seek such fate?
To be the talk of all the town,
To be in disgrace, and to abate?
To be in disgrace, and to abate?
With my own hands,
With my own hands, to set ablaze
My own home, shall I, oh Father, become undone?
To love's sweet poison, a sickness sown?
Deliberately, I ask,
Why, oh Father, should I become undone?
