suhani hi subah banaras jarur
hai shame avadh khubsurat huzur
magar har subah se har ek sham se
hasi ye hawalat ki rat hai
ye choro ki barat ki rat hai

na khidki na jhrokha
milte hi magar mauka de jaunga mai dhokha
sab dekhte rah jayenge ban ke hawa ka jhoka
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
na khidki na jhrokha
milte hi magar mauka de jaunga mai dhokha
sab dekhte rah jayenge ban ke hawa ka jhoka
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga

diwar se jyada majbut hai irada
us par wo khadi hai jisse najar ladi hai
wo intzar me hai bechain pyar me hai
ye jan bhi gawa ke milna hai usse jake
ye gum na dil sahega haye ye gum na dil sahega
bas hoke hi rahega ye mel do dilo ka
sab sochte rah jayenge ban ke hawa ka jhoka
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga

rocky hai nam mera sabko salam mera
sab mujhko jante hai ustad mante hai
bujdil nahi jo chupke chal du mai chupke chupke
sab hoshiyar rahna fir bad me na kahna
de di hai maine dhamki
de di hai maine dhamki bijli gagan me chamki
kuta gali me bhoka de jaunga mai dhokha
sab dekhte rah jayenge ban ke hawa ka jhoka
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga

mai kya hu mai hu badal mai kya hu mai hu kajal
ud jau ban ke khushbu chal jau ban ke jadu
mai kya hu mai hu badal mai kya hu mai hu kajal
ud jau ban ke khusbu chal jau ban ke jadu
sau bar aake dekha sau bar jake dekha
kya hai yaha kidhar hai har chiz ki khabar hai
mere purane yaro nadan pahredaro
mere purane yaro nadan pahredaro
kyu tumne mujhko roka
tum rokte rah jaoge ban ke hawa ka jhoka
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
na khidki na jhroka
milte hi magar mauka de jaunga mai dhokha
sab dekhte rah jayenge ban ke hawa ka jhoka
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga
mai nikal jaunga mai nikal jaunga

The morning whispers of Varanasi, a beauty to behold,
The grace of Awadh, a story to be told.
Yet, from every dawn, from every setting sun,
A laughter echoes in this prison's night,
A wedding procession of the thieves, taking flight.

No window, no skylight to grace this place,
But given the chance, I'll vanish in disgrace.
They'll watch, confounded, like a sudden breeze,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains.
No window, no skylight to grace this place,
But given the chance, I'll vanish in disgrace.
They'll watch, confounded, like a sudden breeze,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains.

Stronger than walls, my will unfurls,
And she waits, the one my gaze has met,
Lost in a love, a yearning so deep,
For her I'd forfeit, even sleep.
This sorrow my heart won't bear, this sorrow it won't bear,
This union of hearts, a fate I must bear.
They'll watch, confounded, like a sudden breeze,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains.

Rocky's the name, my greetings I send,
All know me well, their master, their friend.
No coward am I, to steal away unseen,
Be warned, all of you, later don't you then,
Say, I did not warn you,
My threat, it has formed, the lightning in skies, has stormed.
The dog in the street will bark and then I'll be gone,
They'll watch, confounded, like a sudden breeze,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains.

I am the cloud, I am the kohl of sight,
I'll rise as a fragrance, vanish in the night.
I am the cloud, I am the kohl of sight,
I'll rise as a fragrance, vanish in the night.
A hundred times I've come, a hundred times I've gone,
What's here, where it is, of all, I've known.
My old companions, you foolish guards,
My old companions, you foolish guards,
Did you try to hold me back?
You'll stand in the wind, and in the dark you'll lack.
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains.
No window, no skylight to grace this place,
But given the chance, I'll vanish in disgrace.
They'll watch, confounded, like a sudden breeze,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains,
I'll slip away, I'll break these chains.
