mai bhi jawan gori tu bhi jawan
ye jawani yuhi bit jaye na
ha ye jawani yuhi bit jaye na
mai bhi jawan gori tu bhi jawan
ye jawani yuhi bit jaye na
ha ye jawani yuhi bit jaye na

mai bhi jawan piya tu bhi jawan
kahi ungli jamana uthaye na
ha kahi ungli jamana uthaye na
mai bhi jawan piya tu bhi jawan
kahi ungli zamana uthaye na
ha kahi ungli jamana uthaye na

sawan to bit gaya bhado na bit jaye
bhado na bit jaye
premi na har jaye dunia na jeet jaye
dunia na jeet jaye
aadhi aadhi rat kab hogi mulakat
kahi pyar ki ye bat bhul jaye na
aadhi aadhi rat kab hogi mulakat
kahi pyar ki ye bat bhul jaye na
kahi pyar ki ye bat bhul jaye na
kahi ungli zamana uthaye na

bachpan ke sath gayi, bachpan ki bat piya
adhi adhi rat karu kaise mulakat piya
kaise mulakat piya
bachpan ke sath gayi, bachpan ki bat piya
adhi adhi rat karu kaise mulakat piya
kaise mulakat piya
julmi jahan piya bada beiman
kahi rai ka pahad ban jaye na
kahi rai ka pahad ban jaye na
mai bhi jawan piya tu bhi jawan
kahi ungli jamana uthaye na
ha kahi ungli jamana uthaye na

I, a youth, fair maiden, you are young as well,
Lest this bloom of youth, it fade and fell,
Oh, lest this bloom of youth, it fade and fell.
I, a youth, fair maiden, you are young as well,
Lest this bloom of youth, it fade and fell,
Oh, lest this bloom of youth, it fade and fell.

I, a youth, my love, and you are young as well,
Lest the world's harsh finger, it should tell,
Oh, lest the world's harsh finger, it should tell.
I, a youth, my love, and you are young as well,
Lest the world's harsh finger, it should tell,
Oh, lest the world's harsh finger, it should tell.

The monsoon's gone, lest the dark month pass,
Lest the dark month pass.
Lover may not fail, world may not surpass,
World may not surpass.
At midnight's hush, when will our eyes embrace?
Lest love's sweet whisper, it erase,
At midnight's hush, when will our eyes embrace?
Lest love's sweet whisper, it erase,
Lest love's sweet whisper, it erase,
Lest the world's harsh finger, it should tell.

Childhood's gone, with tales of childhood's grace,
How can I meet you, in midnight's space,
How can I meet you, in midnight's space?
Childhood's gone, with tales of childhood's grace,
How can I meet you, in midnight's space,
How can I meet you, in midnight's space?
This cruel world, my love, it knows no law,
Lest a mustard seed, to mountains draw,
Lest a mustard seed, to mountains draw.
I, a youth, my love, and you are young as well,
Lest the world's harsh finger, it should tell,
Oh, lest the world's harsh finger, it should tell.
