mere dil pe lagegi chot
na karna khot, rasile balam
ho rasile balam
mere dil pe, mere dil pe
mere dil par lagegi chot
na karna khot, rasile balam
ho rasile balam

mai kya janu, pyar ki rasme
mai kya janu, pyar ki rasme
mai majbur paraye bas me
mai majbur paraye bas me
mai kaise baat chhipau, kaho kit jau
rasile balam, ho rasile balam
mere dil pe, mere dil pe
mere dil pe lagegi chot
na karna khot, rasile balam
ho rasile balam

o nain mila kar, ye sukh paya
o nain mila kar, ye sukh paya
dukh ka kaal kabhi na aaya
dukh ka kaal kabhi na aaya
mai chupke chupke rou, jawani khou
rasile balam, ho rasile balam
mere dil pe, mere dil pe
mere dil pe lagegi chot
na karna khot, rasile balam
ho rasile balam

A wound will bloom upon my heart,
Beloved, do not err, do not depart.
O, my beloved,
Upon my heart, my heart's core,
A wound will bloom, forevermore.
Beloved, do not err,
O, my beloved.

How can I know love's subtle art?
How can I know love's tender start?
I am captive, in another's keep,
In foreign hands, my secrets sleep.
Where shall I hide, what shall I say,
Beloved, O beloved, come what may?
Upon my heart, my heart's core,
A wound will bloom, forevermore.
Beloved, do not err,
O, my beloved.

Your eyes met mine, a joy I found,
Your gaze embraced, the world around.
No sorrow's shadow, ever cast,
No winter chill, forever passed.
I weep in silence, youth is lost,
Beloved, O beloved, at what cost?
Upon my heart, my heart's core,
A wound will bloom, forevermore.
Beloved, do not err,
O, my beloved.
