nain dor se bandh liyo chitchor
nain dor se bandh liyo chitchor
chor ab kaise jayega kaho ji kaise jayega
chhai ghata ghanghor mast hai mor
chhai ghata ghanghor mast hai mor
mor ye shor sunayega suno ji shor sunayega
mahman mahman mere man mane
tere dekhu sapne suhane
tere dekhu sapne suhane
meri dagmag jiwan naiya naiya
khiwaiya par lagayega
khiwaiya par lagayega
nain dor se bandh liyo chitchor
nain dor se bandh liyo chitchor
chor ab kaise jayega kaho ji kaise jayeg

main pawan tum bijali main pani tum machhali
main pawan tum bujali main pani tum machhali
main siyan tum kajal main dharati tum badal
main dharati tum badal
mora dhadak dhadak ke jiyara jiyara
mora dhadak dhadak ke jiyara jiyara
ye git sunayega
sajan ye git sunayega
nain dor se bandh liyo chitchor

My eyes, a tether, bound the Thief of Heart,
My eyes, a tether, held the Thief of Heart.
How now will He escape, tell me, how will He depart?
Dark clouds gather, dense, the peacock's proud art,
Dark clouds gather, dense, the peacock's proud art.
He, a fanfare of cries, listen now, a joyous start.

Guest, O Guest, within my heart's domain,
I dream sweet dreams of you, again and again.
I dream sweet dreams of you, again and again.
My life's frail boat, adrift, in watery lane,
My life's frail boat, adrift, in watery lane,
The boatman will guide me, to shore, through the pain.
The boatman will guide me, to shore, through the pain.
My eyes, a tether, bound the Thief of Heart,
My eyes, a tether, held the Thief of Heart.
How now will He escape, tell me, how will He depart?

I am the breeze, you lightning's fire,
I am the breeze, you lightning's fire,
I am the water, you the fish's desire.
I am the water, you the fish's desire.
I am the dark, you, the earth's high pyre.
I am the earth, you, the heavens' attire.
My heart beats, thrums, with a frenzied pyre,
My heart beats, thrums, with a frenzied pyre,
This song of the soul He will inspire.
Lover, this song of the soul He will inspire.
My eyes, a tether, bound the Thief of Heart.
