kaha chamke haye kidhar chamke
kaha chamke haye kidhar chamke
main jidhar niklu bijli udhar chamke
main jidhar niklu bijli udhar chamke
subah chamke dopehar chamke
main savar ke chalu to raat bhar chamke
main savar ke chalu to raat bhar chamke raat bhar chamke

chadhti nadi si teri chanchal jawani
gore badan pe hai sone ka paani
mukhda gulabi meri julfe sunheri
main rukati hu ek tapti dopehri
mere tan pe koi najar haye kaha thehri
haye gulabi kya baat hai hai naa
mere jalwo se saara shahar chamke
mere jalwo se saara shahar chamke
kaha chamke haye kidhar chamke
main jidhar niklu bijli udhar chamke ha udhar chamke

ek roj naa ji main thumka lagake
chheda kisine mujhe aake dabake
phir paas aake pakad li kalaai
deewane majnu ki shamat ye aayi
aisi ki dhulayi aisi ki dhulayi bola main hu tera bhai
main dubara pakad lu to
to paancho ungali tere gaal par chamke
paancho ungali tere gaal par chamke
kaha chamke haye kidhar chamke
main jidhar niklu bijli udhar chamke ha udhar chamke

duniya hi duniya dubhari kataari
baithe nishana lagake shikari
saare yaha rup ke hai pujari
koi naa samajhe mohabbat hamari
koi to mile main jise keh du main tumhari
jise dekha to meri najar chamke
jo mere dil mein saari umar chamke
kaha chamke haye kidhar chamke
kaha chamke haye kidhar chamke
main jidhar niklu bijli udhar chamke
main jidhar niklu bijli udhar chamke
subah chamke dopehar chamke
main savar ke chalu to raat bhar chamke
main savar ke chalu to raat bhar chamke raat bhar chamke

Where does it gleam, alas, where does it gleam?
Where does it gleam, alas, where does it gleam?
Where I venture, lightning will beam.
Where I venture, lightning will beam.

It gleams at dawn, it gleams at noon,
If I walk adorned, it gleams through the moon,
If I walk adorned, it gleams through the moon, gleams through the moon.

Like a rising river, your youth so swift,
On your fair skin, gold takes its gift.
My face, a rose, my tresses of gold,
I pause, in a noon so bold.
On my body, whose gaze can hold?
Oh, rose-hued, what's it to behold?
From my allure, the city will beam.
From my allure, the city will beam.
Where does it gleam, alas, where does it gleam?
Where I venture, lightning will beam, ah, will beam.

One day, as I danced with a sway,
Someone dared to touch, then to stay.
Then, drawing near, they held my wrist,
A lovesick fool, his moment missed.
Such a thrashing, such a flaying, he said, "I'm your brother, I insist."
If I hold again, then,
Five fingers on your cheek will beam.
Five fingers on your cheek will beam.
Where does it gleam, alas, where does it gleam?
Where I venture, lightning will beam, ah, will beam.

The world, a double-edged blade,
Hunters sit, their sights are laid.
All are worshippers of form,
None understand love's warm storm.
Let me find one to call my own,
Whose gaze makes my own heart beam.
Whose gaze makes my own heart beam.
Where does it gleam, alas, where does it gleam?
Where does it gleam, alas, where does it gleam?
Where I venture, lightning will beam.
Where I venture, lightning will beam.
It gleams at dawn, it gleams at noon,
If I walk adorned, it gleams through the moon,
If I walk adorned, it gleams through the moon, gleams through the moon.
