dekho jane na paye jaye to wapas aane na paye
are pakdo pakdo pakdo jakdo jakdo jakdo

koi ladki ye na bhule ye ladka hamse na jhule
iska mukhda to hai bhola sabnam me hai aag ka shila
apne dil pe rahkna kabu iske naino me hai jadu
o naino se naina milane na paye
pakdo pakdo pakdo jakdo jakdo jakdo
dekho jane na paye jaye to wapas aane na paye
are pakdo pakdo pakdo jakdo jakdo jakdo

ek gayi ab duji aayi tauba allah ram duhayi
ye to sans nahi chhod egi ye maidan me dam todegi
soch samjh ke jor lagana ye najuk hai bhul na jana
patli kamar bal khane na paye
pakdo pakdo pakdo jakdo jakdo jakdo
dekho jane na paye jaye to wapas aane na paye
are pakdo pakdo pakdo jakdo jakdo jakdo

Grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight,
See that it cannot leave,
If it flees, it cannot return,
Oh, grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight.
Grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight,
See that it cannot leave,
If it flees, it cannot return,
Oh, grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight.

Strike, shatter, cripple its stride,
Let it limp back to its home,
Grasp its arms, twist its hands,
Do not break its fair limbs,
This is a game, not love's embrace,
A foe, not a beloved,
Let this heart no longer beat,
Grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight,
See that it cannot leave,
If it flees, it cannot return,
Oh, grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight.

Forget not, this girl,
This boy cannot sway us,
His face seems innocent,
Yet in the dew, a stone of fire,
Control your own heart,
Magic dwells in his eyes,
Let eyes not meet eyes,
Grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight,
See that it cannot leave,
If it flees, it cannot return,
Oh, grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight.

One gone, now another arrives,
Repentance, God's mercy, Ram's name,
She will not relinquish her breath,
She will exhaust herself on the field,
Consider well, apply your strength,
She is delicate, do not forget,
Let the slender waist not bend,
Grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight,
See that it cannot leave,
If it flees, it cannot return,
Oh, grasp, seize, constrict, hold tight.
