chori chhup jaye re, daikati chhup jaye
par pyar chhupana mushkil hai
ruth ke tu raja mere chahe jaha jaye
mere dil se to jana mushkil hai

kahne ko to ye badi chhoti si baat hai
kahne ko to ye badi chhoti si baat hai
do din ka mela, ye do din ka sath hai o
jaan chali jaye, jaan chali jaye
chhute apne paraye
par lagi ko bujhana mushkil hai
chori chhup jaye re, daikati chhup jaye
par pyar chhupana mushkil hai

masti bhari ek mithi najar ne
masti bhari ek mithi najar ne
hulchal macha di hai jaan-o-jigar me o
chand ko bulao,
lake ghar me bithao
gaye dil ko bulana mushkil hai
chori chhup jaye re, daikati chhup jaye
par pyar chhupana mushkil hai

aankho ke khel me ye dil ki jo haar hai
aankho ke khel me ye dil ki jo haar hai
uska hi naam mere raja ji pyar hai o
rog jo bhi aaye, rog jo bhi aaye
ek din chala jaye
is dard ka jana mushkil hai
chori chhup jaye re, daikati chhup jaye
par pyar chhupana mushkil hai
ruth ke tu raja mere chahe jaha jaye
mere dil se to jana mushkil hai

Theft may hide, a bandit may retreat,
But love's true form, it can't be beat.
Though you may stray, my king, and roam afar,
From my heart's core, you cannot spar.

A small thing, they say, a fleeting guise,
A fairground's dance beneath transient skies.
Two days of joy, a shared embrace,
Life may depart, from every place,
Kin may fade, the world grow cold,
But quenching love, a story untold.
Theft may hide, a bandit may retreat,
But love's true form, it can't be beat.

A playful glance, a sugar-sweet decree,
A playful glance, for you and me,
Stirred chaos deep within my breast.
Summon the moon, put it to test,
Bring it home, place it near,
But calling back a gone heart's fear,
Theft may hide, a bandit may retreat,
But love's true form, it can't be beat.

In eyes that play, where hearts take flight,
In eyes that play, in darkest night,
Defeat is love, my sovereign dear,
Whatever pains, the passing year,
May bring its woes, until they cease,
But banishing this heart's release,
Theft may hide, a bandit may retreat,
But love's true form, it can't be beat.
Though you may stray, my king, and roam afar,
From my heart's core, you cannot spar.
