ji chahe utha le jau tujhe
ji chahe utha le jau tujhe
duniya ki nazar se dur kahi dur kahi
koi ilzam aa jaye sar pe tere
koi ilzam aa jaye sar pe tere
ye baat mujhe manzur nahi manzur nahi

tu agar kabhi hans ke kah de jo
ha zamane ka mujhko koi dar nahi
tu agar kabhi hans ke kah de jo
ha zamane ka mujhko koi dar nahi
hai tere sath meri bhi badnamiya
ye tohmat akele tu ji par nahi
mai akela kaha jau mai akela kaha aur jau
jo tere sath chalne se roke mujhe
aisa to koi dastur nahi dastur nahi
koi ilzam aa jaye sar pe tere
koi ilzam aa jaye sar pe tere
ye baat mujhe manjur nahi manjur nahi

I yearn to steal you away,
I yearn to steal you away,
Far beyond the world's gaze, far away.
Lest a shadow should fall on your name,
Lest a shadow should fall on your name,
Such fate I cannot condone, cannot bear.

If you, with a smile, should declare,
"I fear not the world's judgment now,"
If you, with a smile, should declare,
"I fear not the world's judgment now,"
My own disgrace entwined with yours,
The blame is not yours to solely wear.
Where can I flee, where can I go,
To shun the path that with you I tread?
No such decree exists, no such law.
Lest a shadow should fall on your name,
Lest a shadow should fall on your name,
Such fate I cannot condone, cannot bear.
