mohe na yu ghoor ghoor kar dekho ha
mohe na yu ghoor ghoor kar dekho
najar lag jayegi haye ram
najar lag jayegi suno ji
suno ji more paas nadnn badi
jalmi khabar lag jayegi lag jayegi
khabar lag jayegi lag jayegi
najar lag jayegi suno ji
aai mein bich dagar aai mein bich dagar
ud ke laal chunar ghumaro wali ghaghar
ghumti ghumar ghumar dolti idhar udhar
mudi re chali kamar mohe yu na dekho
yu na dekho yu na dekho ji
khabar lag jayegi lag jayegi
khabar lag jayegi lag jayegi

mora paas aa re saajan mora paas aa re saajan
jisne jeeta mora man karo kyo mujhse jatan
dekho na chhuna na wadan main hu chanda ki kiran
kahi lage na grhan mohe yu na dekho
yu na dekho yu na dekho ji
najar lag jayegi lag jayegi
najar lag jayegi lag jayegi
mohe na yu ghoor ghoor kar dekho
najar lag jayegi lag jayegi
najar lag jayegi lag jayegi
suno ji more paas nadnn badi jalmi
khabar lag jayegi lag jayegi
khabar lag jayegi lag jayegi
najar lag jayegi suno ji

Do not gaze at me so,
do not stare so long,
lest the evil eye fall, alas,
lest it find its mark, hear me.
Listen close, my beloved,
a cruel tale will unfurl, will unfurl.
A rumour will spread, it will, alas,
lest the evil eye fall, hear me.

I came upon the path, I did,
a crimson veil, a tinkling skirt I wore.
I twirled and danced, swaying to and fro,
bending my waist, do not gaze,
do not gaze, do not gaze, oh.
Lest the evil eye fall, it will.
Lest the evil eye fall, it will.

Come closer, my love, come near,
you who have won my heart, why this restraint?
Do not touch my form, I am the moonbeam's gleam,
lest an eclipse occur, do not gaze,
do not gaze, do not gaze, oh.
Lest the evil eye fall, it will.
Lest the evil eye fall, it will.
Do not gaze at me so,
lest the evil eye fall, it will.
Lest the evil eye fall, it will.

Listen close, my beloved,
a cruel tale will unfurl, will unfurl.
A rumour will spread, it will, alas,
lest the evil eye fall, hear me.
