na koi chithi na khabar jab se choda ghar
bhatku tere daras ko thake nain more
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
tere milne ka koi banaa na bahana
bedardi tune haye dard na jana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
tere milne ka koi banaa na bahana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana

nagan banke jhumu galiyo galiyo ghumu
agar pa jau to chumu tere paw ke nishan
prem ki been bajake sapere dil churake
koi jadu sa jagake chup gaya hai kaha
koi na batyae tera pata na thikana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
bedardi tune haye dard na jana

tu jo mil jaye to mera darde dil jaye
to aa jaye mujhko chain
aa jaye wo mithi rain aaa jaye
jiske the ye wade tere jhuthe the irade
saiya hum sidhe sadhe koi or na bhaye
kaha se ye sikha tune najre churana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
tere milne ka koi banaa na bahana
gaw gaw ghumi shahar shahar chana
bedardi tune haye dard na jana

No letter, no news, since home was forsaken,
My eyes, weary, wander, seeking your gaze.
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched,
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched,
No reason to meet you, no solace to gain.
Uncaring one, you've not known my pain,
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched.
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched.

A serpent I become, dancing in lanes,
If I found you, I'd kiss your footprints in dust.
Playing the love-flute, stealing hearts like a snake charmer,
Awakening a magic, then vanishing from sight.
None can tell me your way, nor your dwelling place.
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched,
Uncaring one, you've not known my pain.

If you were to return, my heart's ache would cease,
And peace would descend on me.
That sweet night would return, yes, it would,
Whose promises were these, whose intentions untrue?
My beloved, simple am I, none other do I desire.
Where did you learn this art of veiled glances?
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched,
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched,
No reason to meet you, no solace to gain.
Village to village I roamed, city to city I searched,
Uncaring one, you've not known my pain.
