hamne suna tha bada charcha janab ka
naino ne de dala dhokha sharab ka
chhin liya chain mera
are re re re main to mari gayi
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja

dilli dekhi patna dekha, aur ghumi panjab
dilli dekhi patna dekha
dilli dekhi patna dekha, aur ghumi panjab
do nain mere matwale, hay inko kaun sambhale
kyu daga kiya, dil lut liya
ho sanwar surat wale
hoye dilli dekhi patna dekha, aur ghumi panjab
sach to ye hain o albele, tera nahi jabaav re
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja

gali gali main naach rhai hu, tere liya bedardi
gali gali main naach rhai hu
gali gali main naach rhai hu, tere liya bedardi
kehati hain meri jawani, jo kadar na tune jaani
o yaar mere dildar mere zalim hain rut mastani
hoye gali gali main naach rhai hu, tere liya bedardi
itana to batla de chhaila, kya hain teri marji
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja

hamne suna tha bada charcha janab ka
naino ne de dala dhokha sharab ka
chhin liya chain mera
are re re re main to mari gayi
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja
baazar sara lut liya, o more raja

They spoke of you, a whispered praise,
But eyes, like wine, betrayed my days.
Stole my peace, my very core,
Alas, I'm lost, and wanting more.
You plundered all my market square, my king,
You plundered all my market square, my king,
You plundered all my market square.

I've seen Delhi, Patna's grace,
And wandered through Punjab's embrace.
My wild eyes, a restless pair,
Who'll tame them now, beyond compare?
Why this deceit, this stolen heart?
Oh, dark-hued one, a work of art!
I've seen Delhi, Patna's grace,
And wandered through Punjab's space.
The truth is this, my charming one, you have no match,
You plundered all my market square, my king,
You plundered all my market square, my king.

In every street, I dance for you,
My heart, you break, it's ever true.
In every street, I dance for you,
My youth now speaks, a plaintive plea,
Since you don't see my agony.
Oh, friend of mine, my heart's delight,
Your cruelty, a moonlit night.
In every street, I dance for you,
My wild one, tell me, is this your decree?
You plundered all my market square, my king,
You plundered all my market square, my king.

They spoke of you, a whispered praise,
But eyes, like wine, betrayed my days.
Stole my peace, my very core,
Alas, I'm lost, and wanting more.
You plundered all my market square, my king,
You plundered all my market square, my king.
