mujhko laga hai sal solwa haye nahi chhedna
mujhko laga hai sal solwa ji solwa ji solwa ji solwa
haye nahi chhedna mujhko laga hai sal solwa
haye nahi chhedna mujhko laga hai sal solwa
haye nahi chhedna

ha mai dali hu jo chhune se kumlati hai
aisi najro se tabiyat ghabrati hai
chedkhani mujhe gairo ki kaha bhati hai
chedkhani mujhe gairo ki kaha bhati hai
laza aayi na tujhe chhu to haya aati hai
laza aayi na tujhe chhu to haya aati hai
mujhko laga hai sal solwa haye nahi chhedna
mujhko laga hai sal solwa haye nahi chhedna
mujhko laga hai sal solwa ji solwa ji solwa ji solwa
haye nahi chhedna mujhko laga hai sal solwa
haye nahi chhedna

hathaapayi na karo jao ji rasta chhodo
apne jaise ke hi janam se nata jodo
ise kahte hai or mohabbat kya hai
mujhko laga hai sal solwa haye nahi chhedna
mujhko laga hai sal solwa haye nahi chhedna
mujhko laga hai sal solwa ji solwa ji solwa ji solwa
haye nahi chhedna mujhko laga hai sal solwa
haye nahi chhedna

Sixteen summers bloom within my breast, a fragile grace, forbear to touch.
Sixteen summers, a tender age, sixteen, sixteen, sixteen.
Forbear to touch, sixteen summers bloom,
Forbear to touch, sixteen summers bloom,
Forbear to touch.

I am a branch that wilts beneath a careless hand,
Such gazes make my spirit understand
The dread of touch, the stranger's wandering demand.
The dread of touch, the stranger's wandering demand.
Shame you feel none, to touch me, but I am ashamed.
Shame you feel none, to touch me, but I am ashamed.
Sixteen summers bloom, forbear to touch.
Sixteen summers bloom, forbear to touch.
Sixteen summers, a tender age, sixteen, sixteen, sixteen.
Forbear to touch, sixteen summers bloom,
Forbear to touch.

Cease your struggle, leave me be, and seek another way,
Find your own kin, in kindred birth and sway.
Is this not love, you seek to convey?
Sixteen summers bloom, forbear to touch.
Sixteen summers bloom, forbear to touch.
Sixteen summers, a tender age, sixteen, sixteen, sixteen.
Forbear to touch, sixteen summers bloom,
Forbear to touch.
