mujhe mat roko
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko jo hota hai
jo hota hai ho jane do
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko
mai hu zinda ye kya kam hai
jab tak in hatho me dam hai
dhafli wale ko dhafli bazane do
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko

na sona, na chandi, na ghode, na hathi
na sona, na chandi, na ghode, na hathi
mere git mere sathi, mai hu dulha ye barati
mujhe gito ki doli
mujhe gito ki doli sazane do
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko

mai bhi hu mushkil me tu bhi hai mushkil me
mai bhi hu mushkil me tu bhi hai mushkil me
tera gam hai mere dil me, mera gam hai tere dil me
is dil ko zara, is dil ko zara bahlane do
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko, jo hota hai
jo hota hai ho jane do
mujhe mat roko, mujhe gane do
mujhe mat roko

Do not hold me back,
Let me sing, let me sing.
Do not hold me back, let me sing.
Do not hold me back, let me sing,
Let what must be, be.
Let what unfolds, unfold.
Do not hold me back, let me sing.
Do not hold me back.

To be alive, is that not enough?
As long as breath still dances in these hands,
Let the drummer play his drum.
Do not hold me back, let me sing.
Do not hold me back.

No gold, no silver, no steeds, nor elephants,
No gold, no silver, no steeds, nor elephants,
My songs, my companions, I, the groom, they, the wedding party.
Let the songs be my palanquin,
Let my songs be my wedding procession.
Do not hold me back, let me sing.
Do not hold me back.

I am in sorrow, and you are in sorrow,
I am in sorrow, and you are in sorrow,
Your grief within my heart, my grief within yours,
Let this heart find solace, let this heart be consoled.
Do not hold me back, let me sing.
Do not hold me back.
Let what must be, be.
Do not hold me back, let me sing.
Do not hold me back.
