jogan banake piya chhod gaya galiyo me
haye balam bedardi more raja nirmohi
haye balam bedardi more raja nirmohi
haske hasake dil ko tod gayo galiyo me
haske hasake dil ko tod gayo galiyo me
haye balam bedardi more raja nirmohi

ek tha diwana ek thi diwani
kuch tha bachpan kuch thi jawani
inhone ki thi preet suhani
aaj wahi matwala mukhda
mod gayo galiyo me
haye balam bedardi more raja nirmohi
jogan bana ke piya chhod gayo galiyo me
haye balam bedardi more raja nirmohi

kismat ne todi bulbul ki jodi
us panchhi ki pankh marodi
preet laga kar yuhi todi
chhalke chhalkaye gagri fod gayo galiyo me
haye balam bedardi more raja nirmohi
haye balam bedardi more raja nirmohi

He made a mendicant of me, left me in the lanes,
My love, heartless, my king, devoid of all grace.
My love, heartless, my king, devoid of all grace.
He laughed, then shattered my heart in the lanes,
He laughed, then shattered my heart in the lanes,
My love, heartless, my king, devoid of all grace.

Once there was a lover, and a beloved, too,
A touch of childhood, some youth shone through.
They wove a joyous love, fresh and new,
Now that drunken face, turned away in the lanes,
My love, heartless, my king, devoid of all grace.
He made a mendicant of me, left me in the lanes,
My love, heartless, my king, devoid of all grace.

Fate shattered the nightingale's pair,
Twisted the wings of the bird in despair,
Having kindled love, he did not care.
He spilled, then broke the water pot in the lanes,
My love, heartless, my king, devoid of all grace.
My love, heartless, my king, devoid of all grace.
