gair nahi main hoon main apna
na main jadu na main sapna
babu gairo mein na fasna
chhail kanhaiya naam hain apna
mera naam dil pe likh lijiyega hujur
mera naam dil pe likh lijiyega hujur
jab kabhi hona udaas
mujhse aakar ha milna jarur
mera naam, mera naam
dil pe, dil pe likh lijiyega hujur

jaane kahan se main aaya
khushiya hi khushiya main laaya
jaane kahan se main aaya
khushiya hi khushiya main laaya
aansu to maine pee daale
nagmo se tumko bahelaya
he dil dekar ye nagma le lo
aansu de do khushiya le lo
phir na milega mauka aisa
yaar gaye to milna kaisa
mera naam dil pe likh lijiyega hujur
mera naam, mera naam
dil pe, dil pe likh lijiyega hujur

majnu ban gaye meet ke liye
mere saare geet preet ke liye
dhadkan kahti hain yahi hain kahin
geet gata chal usi ke liye
har kaam har dhaam, har subah har shaam
aayega ek din uska payaam
mera naam dil pe likh lijiyega hujur
mera naam, mera naam
dil pe, dil pe likh lijiyega hujur
jab kabhi hona udaas
mujhse aakar ha milna jarur
mera naam dil pe likh lijiyega hujur

I am not a stranger, but myself entire,
No magic am I, nor a fleeting desire.
Beloved, in strangers, do not be ensnared,
My name is the playful one, Kanhaiya declared.
Upon your heart, engrave my name, I plead,
Upon your heart, inscribe my name indeed.
When sorrow descends, a heavy shroud,
Seek my solace, and speak aloud.
My name, my name,
Upon your heart, inscribe it now.

From whence I came, no mortal knows,
Yet joy's effervescence, I freely bestow.
From whence I came, a mystery untold,
With laughter's touch, I make hearts bold.
Tears I have swallowed, a bitter draught,
With melodies, your spirit I have caught.
Give your heart, and take this song,
Give your tears, and joy belong.
Such an opportunity, you won't find again,
Friends departing, how can we meet then?
Upon your heart, engrave my name, I plead,
My name, my name,
Upon your heart, inscribe it now.

A Majnu I become, for my friend's sweet plight,
All my songs, are sung for love's bright light.
My heart's rhythm whispers, it's here, nearby,
Sing along my song, for whom I sigh.
In every deed, in every place,
Each morn, each eve, seek His grace.
One day will come, His message will bloom,
Upon your heart, engrave my name, for whom?
My name, my name,
Upon your heart, inscribe it now.
When sorrow descends, a heavy shroud,
Seek my solace, and speak aloud.
Upon your heart, engrave my name, I plead.
