o o o data tum to de chuke, mile bhakat ko hath
lekin in haatho ka khilauna, rakh liya apne saath
khub ye khela khel vidhaata, khub chale tum chaal
are jagat ke daani, tum bhi nikle bahut bade kangaal
tum prabhu bade dil ke kathor nikle
chori chori chal diye bade chor nikle
deke chakma na jaane kis or nikle
chori chori chal diye bade chor nikle

mai to samjhi thi tum bade data ho
din dukhiyo ke bhagay vidhata ho
lekin tum to bade hi kamjor nikle
chori chori chal diye bade chor nikle
tum prabhu bade dil ke kathor nikle
chori chori chal diye bade chor nikle

na to di kuch khabar, na diya kuch pata
bin bataaye hi chal diye tum devta
na to di kuch khabar, na diya kuch pata
bin bataaye hi chal diye tum devta
bade chhaliyo ke tum sirmor nikle
chori chori chal diye bade chor nikle
tum prabhu bade dil ke kathor nikle
chori chori chal diye bade chor nikle

jab se tune mera laal chhina
jab se tune mera laal chhina
haye mushkil hua hai mera jeena
haye mushkil hua hai mera jeena
haye mushkil hua hai mera jeena
haye mushkil hua hai mera jeena
haye mushkil hua hai mera jeena
haye mushkil hua hai mera jeena
haye mushkil hua hai mera jeena

Oh, Giver, you bestowed, met the devotee's plea,
But the toy of these hands, you chose to keep with Thee.
You played the game, Creator, your moves a clever art,
O, generous of the world, a pauper at the heart!
You, Lord, of callous, heavy heart, it seems,
Stole away in secret, fulfilling wicked dreams.
Deceiving, vanished, towards a hidden shore,
Stole away in secret, a thief forevermore.

I thought you the greatest Giver, the one to hold the key,
The destiny-maker for the wretched, for you and for me.
But fragile were you, in the end, it would seem,
Stole away in secret, a thief in a shadowed stream.
You, Lord, of callous, heavy heart, it seems,
Stole away in secret, fulfilling wicked dreams.

No tidings given, no whisper of farewell,
Without a word, you left, oh god, you fell.
No tidings given, no whisper of farewell,
Without a word, you left, oh god, you fell.
Deceiver's crown, upon your brow, it gleams,
Stole away in secret, a thief in dreams.
You, Lord, of callous, heavy heart, it seems,
Stole away in secret, fulfilling wicked dreams.

Since you stole my child away,
Since you stole my child away,
Alas, my life is hardship's sway,
Alas, my life is hardship's sway,
Alas, my life is hardship's sway,
Alas, my life is hardship's sway,
Alas, my life is hardship's sway,
Alas, my life is hardship's sway.
