jhuthi muthi ruthi ruthi pagali maan ja ai pagali maan ja
jhuthi muthi ruthi ruthi pagali maan ja ai pagali maan ja
ghage se dhaga jodunga mai, pallu tera na chhod unga mai
chori chori goriya khiche dil ki doriya
chori chori goriya khiche dil ki doriya chakoriya takoriya ye goriya
aire gaire natthu khaire pagale ja re ja, pagale ja re ja
aise phisal na chikane ghade dekhe hai tere jaise bade
chori chori goriya khiche dil ki doriya
chori chori goriya khiche dil ki doriya chakoriya takoriya ye goriya

jadu bhari khushbu jafrani aise chale jaise purva suhani
mujhko pata hai dilbar jani niyat me tere beimani
mujhko pata hai dilbar jani niyat me tere beimani
jhuthi muthi ruthi ruthi pagali maan jaa, ai pagali maan ja

chori chori khiche mere dil ki dori piya
mai anchhui si mehandi ka buta mujhse jataye ye pyar jhutha
jitna bhi chahe takrar kar chhutegi mujhse tu pyaar kar
chupake se aake ikarar kar jhagda na aise bekar kar pyar kar
aire gaire natthu khaire pagale ja re ja, pagale ja re ja
aise phisal na chikane ghade dekhe hai tere jaise bade
chori chori goriya khiche dil ki doriya
chori chori goriya khiche dil ki doriya chakoriya takoriya ye goriya

Little one, vexed and cross, my love, relent, oh, relent.
Petulant, pouting, my darling, give in, oh, give in.
With thread I'll mend your frayed heart, your sari's edge, I won't forsake.
Stealthily, maidens, they tug at heartstrings, these secret ties they make.
Stealthily, maidens, they tug at heartstrings.
Eyes that watch, coins they toss, these maidens sly.
Riff-raff, nobodies, go, begone, away, be gone, away.
Don't slip and slide, this greasy pot, I've seen your like before.
Stealthily, maidens, they tug at heartstrings, these secret ties they make.
Stealthily, maidens, they tug at heartstrings.
Eyes that watch, coins they toss, these maidens sly.

Like saffron's scent, bewitching, you glide, like a gentle eastern breeze.
I know, my love, my dearest, deceit lurks in your heart with ease.
I know, my love, my dearest, deceit lurks in your heart with ease.
Petulant, pouting, my darling, give in, oh, give in.

Stealthily, you draw my heart's thread, my love, so true.
I am the henna plant, untouched, unknown.
You feign a love that is not shown.
Though you provoke, and strife you claim,
You'll not escape my love's deep flame.
Come, confess in secret's keep,
Stop this needless quarrel, just embrace, and leap.
Riff-raff, nobodies, go, begone, away, be gone, away.
Don't slip and slide, this greasy pot, I've seen your like before.
Stealthily, maidens, they tug at heartstrings, these secret ties they make.
Stealthily, maidens, they tug at heartstrings.
Eyes that watch, coins they toss, these maidens sly.
