main baithi thi darwajje par jab usne ladaai mujhse nazar
main baithi thi darwajje par jab usne ladaai mujhse nazar
phir gali mein aane jaane laga ankhiyon se pyaar jataane laga
din bhar woh ishaare karta raha kya chahe woh mann darta raha
haai main soch mein pad gayi raat meri dhin chak lad gayi
haai main soch mein pad gayi raat meri dhin chak lad gayi
daiyya re daiyya re

main raat akeli soyi thi meethe sapnon mein khoyi thi
main raat akeli soyi thi meethe sapnon mein khoyi thi
neendiya se jagaya usne mujhe phir khub sataya usne mujhe
ab sochu toh dhadke hai jiya bedardi ne woh kaam kiya
jaan aafat mein padd gayi raat meri dhin chak ladd gayi
jaan aafat mein padd gayi raat meri dhin chak ladd gayi

daiyya re daiyya re meri pakadi kalaai aah le gaya achak uthaaye

Oh, woe, oh, woe, oh, woe, oh, woe,
He seized my wrist, oh, woe, and swept me off,
Oh, woe, oh, woe, he seized my wrist, and swept me off,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Oh, woe, oh, woe, he seized my wrist, oh, woe, oh, woe,
Oh, woe, oh, woe, he seized my wrist, and swept me off,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums.

I sat upon the threshold, when his eyes first met mine,
I sat upon the threshold, when his eyes first met mine,
Then in the lane, he paced and roamed, with glances that declared his love,
All day, his gestures spoke a tongue, what did he want, my heart did fear,
Alas, I fell into a thought, my night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Alas, I fell into a thought, my night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Oh, woe, oh, woe,
Oh, woe, oh, woe, he seized my wrist, and swept me off,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums.

I slept alone, lost in sweet dreams,
I slept alone, lost in sweet dreams,
From slumber, he awakened me, then cruelly tormented me,
Now, when I think, my heart beats fast, the heartless one, he played his part,
My life, now in a plight, my night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My life, now in a plight, my night, a rhythm, a clash of drums.

Oh, woe, oh, woe, he seized my wrist, and swept me off,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Oh, woe, oh, woe, he seized my wrist, oh, woe, oh, woe,
Oh, woe, oh, woe, he seized my wrist, and swept me off,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
My night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Your night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Your night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Your night, a rhythm, a clash of drums,
Your night, a rhythm, a clash of drums.
