piya ki gali laage bhali
roko na sakhi jiya bas mein nahin
kahan tu chali birha jali
dekhe na koyi sakhi ja na kahin
kahan tu chali han piya ki gali

badariya ghir ghir aaye
bijuriya shor machaye
main to jaungi, main to jaungi, main to jaungi
sawar ke bindiya laga ke
na ja tu roop saja ke
main to jaungi, main to jaungi, main to jaungi
chup gaye tare rain dhalak gayi
sooni rahi mori sejiya to kya hoga
piya ki gali laage bhali
roko na sakhi jiya bas mein nahin
kahan tu chali han piya ki gali

raat hai kari barkha parat hai
bhege jo nainon ka kajra to kya hoga
mast pawan hai chunri udat hai
mahke jo phoolon ka gajra to kya hoga
chhodo chhodo chhodo bahiyan raha na jaye
dekho dekho dekho dekho piya bulaye
kaise na jaun, kaise na jaun
kaise na jaun, kaise na jaun
der se mori rah takat hai
rootha jo banka sajna to kya hoga
piya ki gali laage bhali
roko na sakhi jiya bas mein nahin
kahan tu chali han piya ki gali

dewani chup ho ja re
piya ki dhun mat ga re
main to gaungi, main to gaungi, main to gaungi
jiya ko tu samjha re
sunegi sab duniya re
main to gaungi, main to gaungi, main to gaungi
kahe tu toke kahe roke
raha jo man mera pyasa to kya hoga
piya ki gali laage bhali
roko na sakhi jiya bas mein nahin
kahan tu chali birha jali
dekhe na koi sakhi ja na kahin
kahan tu chali piya ki gali

My Beloved's lane, a blessed place,
Restrain me not, for my soul won't stay,
Where do you go, consumed by grace?
Let no one see, don't stray away.
Where do you go, to my Beloved's place?

Clouds gather, dark and deep,
Lightning flashes, secrets to keep.
I will go, I will go, I will go,
Adorned, a jeweled mark I'll wear,
Don't venture forth, with beauty to share.
I will go, I will go, I will go,
Stars are veiled, the night descends,
Empty is my bed, what consequence?
My Beloved's lane, a blessed place,
Restrain me not, for my soul won't stay,
Where do you go, to my Beloved's place?

Night is dark, the rain descends,
If kohl of eyes begins to weep, what then?
Wild winds blow, my scarf ascends,
If the jasmine garland's scent begins to wane, what then?
Release, release, release, I cannot stay,
See, see, see, my Beloved calls this way.
How can I not go, how can I not go?
How can I not go, how can I not go?
He waits for me, with every breath,
If my handsome love is grieved, what consequence?
My Beloved's lane, a blessed place,
Restrain me not, for my soul won't stay,
Where do you go, to my Beloved's place?

Madwoman, be still, don't speak,
That song of love, cease to seek,
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing,
Counsel your heart, find some peace,
The world will hear, and its torments release.
I will sing, I will sing, I will sing,
Why do you stop, why do you weep?
If my heart remains thirsty, what consequence?
My Beloved's lane, a blessed place,
Restrain me not, for my soul won't stay,
Where do you go, consumed by grace?
Let no one see, don't stray away.
Where do you go, to my Beloved's place?
