kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi
baat dekhu mai
baat dekhu mai kab se khadi

kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi

chain padati nahi mohe saajan bina
mohe saajan bina
tere bas me saajan ko laana yaha
ha laana yaha
tej ho ja ghadi ki ghadi
tej ho ja ghadi ki ghadi
ghadi ki ghadi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi

tu jo tik tik kare, jiya dhak dhak kare
jiya dhak dhak kare
ye khushamat bhala koi kab tak kare
koi kab tak kare
mai to sau baar paiya padi
mai to sau baar paiya padi, paiya padi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi

jhum uthe nasha bhara man
jhum uthe nasha bhara man
meharbaani ho teri badi
meharbaani ho teri badi, teri badi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi
baat dekhu mai
baat dekhu mai kab se khadi
kab se khadi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi
kaahe dheere chale ri ghadi

Why do you crawl, O clock?
Why do you crawl, O clock?
I watch and wait,
I watch and wait, for so long I’ve stood,
For so long I’ve stood.
Why do you crawl, O clock?
Why do you crawl, O clock?

Peace I find not, without my love,
Without my love.
To bring my love to me is in your power,
Yes, in your power.
Hasten now, O clock,
Hasten now, O clock,
O clock,
Why do you crawl, O clock?
Why do you crawl, O clock?

As you tick, my heart pounds,
My heart pounds.
How long can one flatter,
How long can one flatter?
A hundred times I’ve fallen at your feet,
A hundred times I’ve fallen at your feet, at your feet.
Why do you crawl, O clock?
Why do you crawl, O clock?

My intoxicated heart will dance,
My intoxicated heart will dance.
May your grace be abundant,
May your grace be abundant, be abundant.
Why do you crawl, O clock?
Why do you crawl, O clock?
I watch and wait,
I watch and wait, for so long I’ve stood,
For so long I’ve stood.
Why do you crawl, O clock?
Why do you crawl, O clock?
