meri gali chokre ji aaya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo
meri gali chokre ji aaya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo
ye dil tha bechain mil gaye aate jate nain
balma aate jate nain uljhaya naa karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo

chanda se mukh pe bihkar gaya kahe badal kale
ja re naina bat kahenge kya ye duniya wale
kaise jau jhol kar gaye jabu tere bol
balma jadu mithe bol ka chalaya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo
meri gali chokre ji aaya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo

ruk ja ruk ja yar game dil kahta hai diwana
dhal jayegi sham khatam na hoga ye afsana
sun ja dil ki bat dil jale aadhi aadhi rat
balma aadhi rat ko jalaya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo
meri gali chokre ji aaya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo

aaja mere pas takega koi to kya hoga
jhalke aachal se kadam fir uljha meri tauba
hoti hai halkaan kyu teri nanhi munni jan
nanhi munni jan ko sataya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo
meri gali chokre ji aaya na karo
o ji walla pyar se bulaya na karo

Do not tread my lane, boy, stay away,
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.
Do not tread my lane, boy, stay away,
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.
This heart, once restless, met eyes that strayed,
Beloved, with glances, entangle no more, I pray.
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.

Upon your moon-bright face, dark clouds descend,
My eyes will speak, what tales will the world lend?
How can I go, when your magic words ignite,
Beloved, with sweet spells, do not contend.
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.
Do not tread my lane, boy, stay away,
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.

Wait, oh wait, my heart, a game it plays,
Says the mad one, the tale will not erase.
Hear the heart's plea, burning in fire, half the night,
Beloved, with the midnight flame, do not disgrace.
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.
Do not tread my lane, boy, stay away,
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.

Come near, and if a witness peers, what then?
From my veil's edge, my steps again,
Oh, my repentance!
Why burden your little, tender soul so slight,
Beloved, do not torment the child within.
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.
Do not tread my lane, boy, stay away,
Ah, do not call with love's sweet sway.
