atkan batkan dahi chatokan raaja gaye dilli
saat katori laaye, ek katori tut gayi
munne ka dil lut gayi, munne ka dil lut gayi

chanda ki ged tujhe la dungi munna, la dungi munna
bijali ka balla manga dungi munna, manga dungi munna
munna mera le lega phir to ghar me khelega
phir to ghar me khelega
ged loge ya bala, balla, jug-jug jiyo mere lalla
atkan batkan dahi chatokan raaja gaye dilli
saat katori laaye, ek katori tut gayi
munne ka dil lut gayi, munne ka dil lut gayi

baadal ka haathi hawaao ka ghoda, hawaao ka ghoda
baithegaa munna lagaayega koda, lagaayega koda
haathi phir to jhumega, desh desh me ghumega
desh desh me ghumega
ghoda loge ya haathi, haathi, mai munne ki saathi
atkan batkan dahi chatokan raaja gaye dilli
saat katori laaye, ek katori tut gayi
munne ka dil lut gayi, munne ka dil lut gayi

taaro ki jhilamil topi bana ke, topi bana ke
shabnam ke moti usme laga ke, usme lagaa ke
tujhko mai pehnaaungi, tera byaah rachaaungi
tera byaah rachaaungi
moti loge ya taara, taara, mera laal bada hi pyaara
atkan batkan dahi chatokan raaja gaye dilli
saat katori laaye, ek katori tut gayi
munne ka dil lut gayi, munne ka dil lut gayi
atkan batkan dahi chatokan raaja gaye dilli
saat katori laaye, ek katori tut gayi
munne ka dil lut gayi, munne ka dil lut gayi

Tick-tock, curd and a lick, the King to Delhi went,
Seven bowls he bore, one shattered, rent.
My Munna's heart, it stole away,
My Munna's heart, it stole away.

A moon-ball I'll fetch for you, Munna, fetch for you,
A lightning bat, I'll conjure true,
My Munna will then hold, will play within the fold,
Will play within the fold.
Ball or bane, bat or glee, live forever, precious me,
Tick-tock, curd and a lick, the King to Delhi went,
Seven bowls he bore, one shattered, rent.
My Munna's heart, it stole away,
My Munna's heart, it stole away.

A cloud-elephant, winds for steed, winds for steed,
My Munna will ride, a spirited deed, a spirited deed.
The elephant will sway, across lands he’ll play,
Across lands he’ll play.
Steed or might, elephant bright, my Munna's guiding light,
Tick-tock, curd and a lick, the King to Delhi went,
Seven bowls he bore, one shattered, rent.
My Munna's heart, it stole away,
My Munna's heart, it stole away.

A starry, shimmering cap I'll weave, cap I'll weave,
Dewdrop pearls, I shall receive, shall receive,
And then I'll adorn you, your wedding I'll pursue,
Your wedding I'll pursue.
Pearls or stars, love's bright wars, my darling, beyond all scars,
Tick-tock, curd and a lick, the King to Delhi went,
Seven bowls he bore, one shattered, rent.
My Munna's heart, it stole away,
My Munna's heart, it stole away.
Tick-tock, curd and a lick, the King to Delhi went,
Seven bowls he bore, one shattered, rent.
My Munna's heart, it stole away,
My Munna's heart, it stole away.
