mere dil se khelo haay
meri jaan bhi le lo
ho mere dil se khelo haay
meri jaan bhi le lo
lekin tarsaao na
aise tadpaao na
mere dil se khelo haay
meri jaan bhi le lo
lekin tarsaao na
aise tadpaao na

main bahti nadiyaa hun
fir bhi hun pyaasi, fir bhi hun pyaasi
kab samjhoge budhhu
baat jara si, baat jara si
aankhe bhi hai sharaabi
aur gaal hai gulaabi
lo is pe koi geet likh do haay
lekin tarsaao na
aise tadpaao na
mere dil se khelo haay
meri jaan bhi le lo
ho mere dil se khelo haay
meri jaan bhi le lo
lekin tarsaao na
aise tadpaao na

tum bin jawani ki beete naa raate, beete naa raate
aage kahun kaise parde ki baate, parde ki baate
dil tumko hi pukaare na samjhe tum ishaare
lo hum to sanam tum se haare haay
lekin tarsaao na
aise tadpaao na
mere dil se khelo haay
meri jaan bhi le lo
lekin tarsaao na
aise tadpaao na

Play with my heart, oh, play,
Even take my life away.
Oh, play with my heart, oh, play,
Even take my life away.
But don't make me yearn,
Don't let me so burn.
Play with my heart, oh, play,
Even take my life away.
But don't make me yearn,
Don't let me so burn.

I am a flowing river,
Yet I thirst, I still thirst.
When will you understand, oh fool,
Such a simple verse, such a simple verse?
My eyes, they are drunken,
And my cheeks, rosy-sunken.
Write a song upon this, oh, play,
But don't make me yearn,
Don't let me so burn.
Play with my heart, oh, play,
Even take my life away.
Oh, play with my heart, oh, play,
Even take my life away.
But don't make me yearn,
Don't let me so burn.

Without you, youth’s nights won't fade, won't fade.
How can I speak of veiled parade, veiled parade?
My heart calls only to you, you don't heed my cue.
So, darling, I surrender, it's true, oh, play,
But don't make me yearn,
Don't let me so burn.
Play with my heart, oh, play,
Even take my life away.
But don't make me yearn,
Don't let me so burn.
