o o mere raaja
o o mere raaja khafa na hona, der se aayi, dur se aayi
majburi thi phir bhi maine
vada to nibhaya, vada to nibhaya
o o meri rani samajh gaya mai, vahi purana, tera bahana
der se aana aur ye kahna
vada to nibhaya, vada to nibhaya

intzar ke ek ek pal ka badla lunga, aisa bhi kya
ye na samajhna aaj bhi aise jaane dunga, aisa bhi kya
kitna sataaya paale uska hisaab do
akhiyo me akhiya daal ke javaab do
bachati bachaati, o o
bachati bachaati chhupati chhupaati
tum kya jaano kaise aayi
vada to nibhaaya, o o mere raaja
samajh gaya mai, vahi purana, tera bahana
der se aana aur ye kahna vada to nibhaya
o o mere raaja

baaho ki in zanjiro me yu na jakdo, ham jakadege
mud jaayegi meri kalayi haath na pakdo, ham pakadege
chhodo na, nahi, chhodo na
aise to naazuk nahi haath sarkaar ke
mauke bhi kabhi kabhi milte hai pyar ke
pyar abhi to, ho, o o
pyar abhi to naya naya hai
meri vafa ki kadar karo ki vada to nibhaaya
o o mere raaja khafa na hona, der se aayi, dur se aayi
majburi thi phir bhi maine
vada to nibhaya, vada to nibhaya
o o meri rani samajh gaya mai, vahi purana, tera bahana
der se aana aur ye kahna
vada to nibhaya, vada to nibhaya

kaho ye gaalo ke angare kiske liye hai, kaho kaho
aji tumhaare, haa haa haa haa
hotho pe ye shahad ke dhaare kiske liye hai, bolo bolo
aji tumhaare, haan
sharm kahaan ki aao gale lag jaao ji
kab se khada hu pyasa pyas bujhaao ji
hat jaao ji, bujhaao ji
badnaami se, ho, o o
badnaami se dar lagta hai
ye to socho kis mushkil se vada to nibhaaya
o o mere raaja
samajh gaya mai, vahi purana, tera bahana
der se aana aur ye kahna
vada to nibhaya, vada to nibhaya
o o mere raaja, o o meri rani

Oh, my King,
Oh, my King, do not be angered, though late I came, from afar I came.
Compelled was I, yet still, I kept
My promise, I kept my promise.
Oh, my Queen, I understand, the same old tale, your excuse,
To arrive late and then to say,
"I kept my promise, I kept my promise."

For every moment of waiting, I shall seek my due, Is this not so?
Do not believe I'll let you go so easily now, Is this not so?
First, account for the torment you have wrought.
Meet my gaze, and offer your reply.
Evading, oh, oh,
Avoiding, hiding, concealing,
You cannot know how I arrived.
I kept my promise, oh, my King,
I understand, the same old tale, your excuse,
To arrive late and then to say, "I kept my promise."
Oh, my King.

Do not bind me so in these chains of your arms, We will bind you.
My wrist would twist, do not hold my hand, We will hold it.
Let go, no, let go,
Not so delicate are these hands of the ruler.
Rare are the chances for love.
Love is still, oh, oh,
Love is still new,
Value my loyalty, for I kept my promise.
Oh, my King, do not be angered, though late I came, from afar I came.
Compelled was I, yet still, I kept
My promise, I kept my promise.
Oh, my Queen, I understand, the same old tale, your excuse,
To arrive late and then to say,
"I kept my promise, I kept my promise."

Tell me, for whom are these embers on your cheeks, tell me, tell me.
For you, ha ha ha ha.
For whom are these streams of honey on your lips, speak, speak.
For you, yes.
Where is your shame? Come, embrace me.
I've stood thirsty for so long, quench my thirst.
Get away, quench it,
From disgrace, oh, oh,
I fear disgrace,
Consider from what hardship, I kept my promise.
Oh, my King,
I understand, the same old tale, your excuse,
To arrive late and then to say,
"I kept my promise, I kept my promise."
Oh, my King, oh, my Queen.
