o gwalan kyun mera man teri chitwan le gayi
o gwalan kyun mera man teri chitwan le gayi
bansuri ki taan pyari bekarari de gayi
bansuri ki taan pyari bekarari de gayi

ye ada ye bhola pan ye gal par julfon ki ghata
ye ada ye bhola pan ye gal par julfon ki ghata
ab kisi ko kya bataun
ab kisi ko kya bataun kyu mera dil hai kho gaya
ye umariya ye najariya dil ko dhadkan de gayi
o gwalan kyun mera man teri chitwan le gayi

ye gulabi hoth jaise pankhudi si hai phool ki
ye gulabi hoth jaise pankhudi si hai phool ki
aap apna chain khoya
aap apna chain khoya dekh kar ye kya bhul ki
dard nyara pyara pyara preet papan de gayi
o gwalan kyu mera man teri chitwan le gayi
bansuri ki tan pyari bekarari de gayi
bansuri ki tan pyari bekarari de gayi

Oh, milkmaid, why did your gaze steal my heart?
Oh, milkmaid, why did your gaze steal my heart?
The flute's sweet tune brought restless art.
The flute's sweet tune brought restless art.

This grace, this innocent face, hair on your cheeks' cascade,
This grace, this innocent face, hair on your cheeks' cascade,
How can I tell another,
How can I tell another, why my heart is betrayed?
This youth, this glance, gave my heart's drum its beat,
Oh, milkmaid, why did your gaze steal my heart?

These rosy lips, like petals of a flower's bloom,
These rosy lips, like petals of a flower's bloom,
I lost my peace,
I lost my peace, seeing this, what a doom!
A unique pain, love's sin, a sweet, beloved gloom,
Oh, milkmaid, why did your gaze steal my heart?
The flute's sweet tune brought restless art.
The flute's sweet tune brought restless art.
