oye balle balle mai hu sher punjab ka hai sahar mera patiyala
ishk hi meri jat hai or husn ka hu matwala
mai jatti punjab ki hai sahar mera ludhiyana
jab se solah sal ki hui aashik hua jamana

mai aashik hu didar o sun mere yar pyar sikha dunga
ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga
mai ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga
sun majnu ke ustad ye rakhna yad ishk bhula dungi
mai numbardar ki chori kaid kara dungi
mai numbardar ki chori kaid kara dungi

goriye julf teri goriye julf teri lahraye
gore mukhde pe gore mukhde pe takraye
jaise nagin koi jaise nagin koi bal khaye been baja dunga
ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga
mai ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga
julf to nagin hai julf to nagin hai mastani
jisko das le re jisko dase na mange pani
kyu tu chahe re kyu tu chahe jan gawani
mai numbardar ki chori kaida kara dungi
mai numbardar ki chori kaida kara dungi

goriye nain tere goriye nain tere maykhane
patle hoth tere patle hoth tere paymane
sharabi hum hai sharabi hum bhi hai purane
pee ke dikha dunga
ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga
mai ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga

husn ek aisa hai husn ek aisa hai maykhana
bhara hai jahar se re bhara hai jahar se har
paymana padega re padega re yaha sab kuch gawana
mai hosh gawa dungi
mai numbardar ki chori kaida kara dungi
mai ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga
mai numbardar ki chori kaida kara dungi
mai ranjha bankar tujhko heer bana dunga

Ho! I am the lion of Punjab, Patiala is my domain,
Love is my creed, and beauty, a captivating rain.
I am the Jat of Punjab, Ludhiana my town,
Since sixteen summers bloomed, lovers have bowed down.

I am the lover, yearning for your glimpse, oh hear me, friend,
I'll teach you love's sweet language, until our journey's end.
I'll be Ranjha, and you, my Heera, forever entwined,
Remember this, master of Majnu, I'll make you leave love behind.
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined,
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined.

Fair one, your tresses, fair one, your tresses,
Across your fair face, your fair face, they collide,
Like a serpent, a serpent, they twist and sway,
I'll play the been for you, and for you, I'll play.
I'll be Ranjha, and you, my Heera, forever entwined,
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined,
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined.
Your tresses are serpents, tresses are serpents, in ecstasy,
Whom they bite, whom they bite, no water will they see,
What do you desire, what do you desire, to lose your life, you see?
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined,
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined.

Fair one, your eyes, your eyes, the taverns reside,
Your thin lips, your thin lips, the taverns inside,
Drunkards are we, drunkards are we, of old we abide,
I'll show you how to drink, I'll show you where to reside.
I'll be Ranjha, and you, my Heera, forever entwined,
I'll be Ranjha, and you, my Heera, forever entwined.

Beauty is the same, beauty is the same, in every tavern's guise,
Filled with poison, filled with poison, in every form that arises,
You'll have to pay, you'll have to pay, here you'll lose all you prize,
I'll lose my senses, I'll have to pay the ultimate price.
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined,
I'll be Ranjha, and you, my Heera, forever entwined,
I, the daughter of the Numberdar, will have you confined,
I'll be Ranjha, and you, my Heera, forever entwined.
