mat ja mat ja mat ja mere bachpan nadan
bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehma
mat ja mat ja mat ja mere bachpan nadan
bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehma

jab se ye rut matwali aayi hai mere angan me
kehte hain ke jaise ke naina rutha rehta hai man
jab se ye rut matwali aayi hai mere angan me
kehte hain ke jaise ke naina rutha rehta hai man
apne ruthe man ko mai lekar jau kaha
mat ja mat ja mat ja mere bachpan nadan
bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehma
mat ja mat ja mat ja mere bachpan nadan
bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehma

kal rat jag gayi nindiya aur bhor talak main jagi
ye kaisi mithi agni jo mere tan me lagi
kal rat chad gayi nindiya aur bhor talak main jagi
ye kaisi mithi agni jo mere tan me lagi
karde na mujhko pagal mere natkhat arma
bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehma
mat ja mat ja mat ja mere bachpan nadan
bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehma

kyun laz lagi ha sabse kyu sabse chupti phiru
koi bhi nahi hai aisa haal apna jisse kahu
kyu laz lagi ha sabse kyu sabse chupti phiru

bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehmaa
mat ja mat ja mat ja mere bachpan nadan
bachpan ne kaha mujhse kuch roz ke hum mehmaa
mat ja mat ja mat ja

Do not go, do not go, do not go, my innocent childhood,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."
Do not go, do not go, do not go, my innocent childhood,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."

Since this intoxicating season bloomed within my courtyard,
They say, as if my eyes and heart are estranged.
Since this intoxicating season bloomed within my courtyard,
They say, as if my eyes and heart are estranged.

Where shall I carry my own estranged heart?
Do not go, do not go, do not go, my innocent childhood,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."
Do not go, do not go, do not go, my innocent childhood,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."

Last night, sleep awoke, and I remained awake till dawn,
What sweet fire has ignited within my being?
Last night, sleep awoke, and I remained awake till dawn,
What sweet fire has ignited within my being?

Do not let my mischievous desires drive me mad,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."
Do not go, do not go, do not go, my innocent childhood,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."

Why this shame before all, why do I hide from all?
There is no one to whom I can confide my state.
Why this shame before all, why do I hide from all?
There is no one to whom I can confide my state.

See my folly, I consider all to be naive,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."
Do not go, do not go, do not go, my innocent childhood,
Childhood whispers, "We are but guests for a fleeting while."
Do not go, do not go, do not go…
