o thanedar hey thanedar babu dil pe nahi mera koi kabu
o thanedar hey thanedar babu dil pe nahi mera koi kabu
tujhe pyar karungi thane me giraftar karungi thane me
tujhe pyar karungi thane me giraftar karungi thane me

dekho na kaise aankhe bichaye dardi ka mujh pe rob jamaye
vada kare na vada nibaye kaise anaari milne na aaye
aankhe fere baitha hai mere pyar ko jane na
kitne gusse wala hai mera kahna mane na
julmi mujhe pahchane na aankhe chaar karungi thane me
tujhe pyar karungi thane me giraftar karungi thane me
tujhe pyar karungi thane me giraftar karungi thane me

dande se tere ab na darungi mai aaj tujhko andar karungi
tere liye mai aahe bharungi jina tere sang tujhpe marungi
tu na mujhse bolega par mai tujhse bolungi
lockup me band kar dungi tala mai na kholungi
thane me jaagungi so lungi
intjaar karungi thane me girftar karungi thane me

o thanedar hey thanedar babu dil pe nahi mera koi kabu
tujhe pyar karungi thane me giraftar karungi thane me
tujhe pyar karungi thane me giraftar karungi thane me
tujhe pyar karungi thane me giraftar karungi thane me

O, Officer, you, Officer, my heart's adrift, unmanned,
O, Officer, you, Officer, my heart's adrift, unmanned.
I'll love you in the precinct, in your jail cell, I'll stand,
I'll love you in the precinct, in your jail cell, I'll stand.

See how I lay my eyes, a plea, a hurt, a claim,
He vows, but doesn't keep his word, a lover to tame.
He doesn't come, he doesn't meet, a novice in this game,
He turns away, my love he hides, he knows not love's flame.
He sits and scorns, my love ignored, he doesn't know,
How angry is my lover, he won't heed my woe.
Cruel one, he won't see me, my heart's command,
I'll love you in the precinct, in your jail cell, I'll stand,
I'll love you in the precinct, in your jail cell, I'll stand.

Now, I won't fear your baton, my love's intent,
Today, I'll lock you up, a love I have to vent.
For you, I'll sigh, my life for you, it's spent,
With you I'll live, for you my soul, it's rent.
You won't speak to me, yet I will make my plea,
In the lock-up I will bind you, I hold the key.
In the station, I will wake and slumber, you'll see,
I'll wait for you, in your jail cell, I'll be.

O, Officer, you, Officer, my heart's adrift, unmanned,
I'll love you in the precinct, in your jail cell, I'll stand,
I'll love you in the precinct, in your jail cell, I'll stand,
I'll love you in the precinct, in your jail cell, I'll stand.
