ek ladki le gai dil de gai vo dhokha
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka
ek ladki le gai dil de gai vo dhokha
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka

is shahar ki har ek sadak par maine usko dhundha
us hasi ka jaldi me maine naam bhi na pucha
is shahar ki har ek sadak par maine usko dhundha
us hasi ka jaldi me maine naam bhi na pucha
aise aai aise gai jaise hawa ka jhoka
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka
ek ladki le gai dil de gai vo dhokha
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka

kar saka na mai apne dil ki baat usse koi
isse pahle ke mai sambhalta bhid me vo khoi
kar saka na mai apne dil ki baat usse koi
isse pahle ke mai sambhalta bhid me vo khoi
ab na jane fir kab milega ye sunehari mouka
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka
ek ladki le gai dil de gai vo dhokha
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka

apne dil ko khone ka mujhko gam na itna hota
ghar pahuch ke mai raat sari baith ke na rota
apne dil ko khone ka mujhko gam na itna hota
ghar pahuch ke mai raat sari baith ke na rota
sath dil ke haay le gai vo note bhi ek sau ka
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka
ek ladki le gai dil de gai vo dhokha
vo diwani ek na mani lakh maine roka

A maiden stole my heart, a cruel deception spun,
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run
To halt her flight.
A maiden stole my heart, a cruel deception spun,
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run.

On every street of this vast city, I sought her trace,
Her name, in haste, escaped me in that fleeting space.
On every street of this vast city, I sought her trace,
Her name, in haste, escaped me in that fleeting space.
She came and went, a whisper, like the wind's swift blow,
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run
To halt her flight.
A maiden stole my heart, a cruel deception spun,
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run.

My heart's deep plea, I never voiced to her sweet face,
Before my words could form, she vanished in the race.
My heart's deep plea, I never voiced to her sweet face,
Before my words could form, she vanished in the race.
When will this golden chance return, this destined place?
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run
To halt her flight.
A maiden stole my heart, a cruel deception spun,
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run.

The loss of heart, the sting, I might have borne with grace,
Had I not wept the night, within my lonely space.
The loss of heart, the sting, I might have borne with grace,
Had I not wept the night, within my lonely space.
Along with heart, alas, she took a hundred notes, a trace,
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run
To halt her flight.
A maiden stole my heart, a cruel deception spun,
A madcap soul, she wouldn't heed, though I had run.
