chori chori aaye saiya humri atariya
ki haaye me to so gai thi
chori chori aaye saiya humri atariya
ki haaye me to so gai thi
jab tak hari taki rahiye bedardi
jab tak hari taki rahiye bedardi
neediya me haaye me to kho gai thi
chori chori aaye saiya humri atariya
ki haaye me to so gai thi

dheere dheere aaya more dheere dheere
dheere dheere aaya more dil me vo saiya
chupke se pakdege najuk kaliya
chupke se naajuk kaliya
raat ko jaage to dekha balm ko
sang bhar bhochat ho gai thi
chori chori aaye saiya humri atariya
ki haaye me to so gai thi

jaag ke mene ki nadani
jaag ke mene ki nadani
chaliya ne cheda mujhe ek naa mani
julmi ne cheda mohe beri ne cheda ek na mani
batiya banaye mose aese ban ban ke
sud bud me to haaye kho gai thi
chori chori aaye saiya humri atariya
ki haaye me to so gai thi

chori chori aaye saiya humri atariya
ki haaye me to so gai thi
jab tak hari taki rahiye bedardi
jab tak hari taki rahiye bedardi
neediya me haaye me to kho gai thi
chori chori aaye saiya humri atariya
ki haaye me to so gai thi

He came to my balcony, a thief in the night,
Ah, I was asleep, lost to the light.
He came to my balcony, a thief in the night,
Ah, I was asleep, lost to the light.
He watched, that cruel one, till my vigil was done,
He watched, that cruel one, till my vigil was done,
In slumber deep, my spirit had flown,
He came to my balcony, a thief in the night,
Ah, I was asleep, lost to the light.

He came so softly, he entered my heart,
He came so softly, he entered my heart,
He came to my soul, a work of art,
He came to my soul, a work of art,
Then, in the shadows, my tender blooms he'd seize,
Then, in the shadows, my tender blooms he'd seize,
Awake in the dark, I saw him, my ease,
Stunned by his embrace, my spirit in the breeze,
Ah, I was lost, my spirit had flown,
He came to my balcony, a thief in the night,
Ah, I was asleep, lost to the light.

Awake, I played a foolish game,
Awake, I played a foolish game,
The charlatan teased, ignoring all shame,
The charlatan teased, ignoring all shame,
The tyrant, he teased, my enemy, he came,
He spun tales, as if born of flame,
My senses all lost, no longer the same,
Ah, I was yours, consumed by the flame,
He came to my balcony, a thief in the night,
Ah, I was asleep, lost to the light.

He came to my balcony, a thief in the night,
Ah, I was asleep, lost to the light.
He watched, that cruel one, till my vigil was done,
He watched, that cruel one, till my vigil was done,
In slumber deep, my spirit had flown,
He came to my balcony, a thief in the night,
Ah, I was asleep, lost to the light.
