tadapaoge tadapa lo hum tadap tadap kar bhi
tumhare geet gayenge
thukaraogo thukara lo hum thokar kha kar bhi
tumhare dar pe aayenge, tadapaoge tadapa lo

kab tak jaanega na chanda dard chakori ka
ek din to ye phul sunega bulbul ka shikva
bewafa pyar me kab talak ye parda
tadapaoge tadapa lo hum tadap tadap kar bhi
tumhare geet gayenge, tadapaoge tadapa lo

jinki khaatir hum phirte hai deewane ban ke
jinki khaatir hum phirte hai deewane ban ke
wo humse jab milte hai to begane ban ke
ishq me rah gaye hum fasana ban ke
tadapaoge tadapa lo hum tadap tadap kar bhi
tumhare geet gayenge, tadapaoge tadapa lo

dekh nishane par rakha hai kab se maine dil
dekh nishane par rakha hai kab se maine dil
teer chala kya soch raha hai o bhole kaatil
kya pata maut hi pyar ki ho manzil
tadapaoge tadapa lo hum tadap tadap kar bhi
tumhare geet gayenge
thukaraogo thukara lo hum thokar kha kar bhi
tumhare dar pe aayenge, tadapaoge tadapa lo

Torture, if you must, let torment be our guide,
We'll sing your song though anguish be our tide.
Reject us, cast us down, with every blow,
We'll seek your door, where broken hearts may go,
Torture, if you must.

When will the moon know the Chakori's pain?
Someday the bloom will hear the nightingale's refrain.
In faithless love, how long this veiled domain?
Torture, if you must, let torment be our guide,
We'll sing your song though anguish be our tide,
Torture, if you must.

For whom we wander, madmen in the street,
For whom we wander, with unsteady feet,
When they meet us, strangers now we greet.
In love we remain, a timeless, whispered feat.
Torture, if you must, let torment be our guide,
We'll sing your song though anguish be our tide,
Torture, if you must.

See, I've placed my heart, a target, long since set,
See, I've placed my heart, no moment to forget,
Why hesitate, oh killer, with your net?
Perhaps in death, love's destined goal is met.
Torture, if you must, let torment be our guide,
We'll sing your song though anguish be our tide,
Reject us, cast us down, with every blow,
We'll seek your door, where broken hearts may go,
Torture, if you must.
