ishk ki mala hath me lekar husn ka karle jap
malik ne jab di hai tange din bhar tadke nap
chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu

b a m a daftar daftar ghum ke dhunde nokri
mai dhundu kisi daulat wale ki ikloti chokri
kisi seth ki ladki kisi seth ki ladki
ghar me aaye pahan ke heere moti
kisi seth ki ladki ladki seth ki ladki
b a m a daftar daftar ghum ke dhunde nokri
mai dhundu kisi daulat wale ki ikloti chokri
dubli patli kali ho lekin paise wali ho
dubli patli kali ho lekin paise wali ho
ghar damad bana ke rakhe mujhko jiska bap
chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu

kadam kadam par double double dekh ke single roye
bhare hue sansar me hamse pyar kare na koi
jane wo kaise log the jinke pyar ko pyar mila
hamne jab jab gud manga mirchi ka achar mila
jane wo kaise log the jinke pyar ko pyar mila
kadam kadam par double double dekh ke single roye
bhare hue sansar me mujhse pyar kare na koi
meri bhi koi dhanno ho dukh sukh mera bate jo
meri bhi koi dhanno ho dukh sukh mera bate jo
dhodhe ek kuware ke jo agle pichle pap
chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu
ishk ki mala hath me lekar husn ka karle jap
malik ne jab di hai tange din bhar tadke nap
chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu chal chala tu

With love's beads clutched tight, chant beauty's name,
For legs were given to pace the earth's grand game.
Move onward, move onward, on the path to roam,
With love's beads clutched tight, chant beauty's home.
For legs were given to pace the earth's grand game.
Move onward, move onward, on the path to roam.

B.A., M.A., through offices I roam,
Seeking a job, a place to call my home.
I search for a wealthy one, a lone heiress to claim,
A Seth's daughter, or a Seth's daughter’s name.
Diamonds and pearls adorn her frame,
A Seth's daughter, Seth's daughter, the same.
B.A., M.A., through offices I roam,
Seeking a job, a place to call my home.
Thin and fragile, but with wealth untold,
Thin and fragile, but with wealth like gold.
Her father's house, a son-in-law to embrace,
Move onward, move onward, on the path to chase.

At every step, couples entwined, singles weep and wail,
This world is full, yet none offer love's frail tale.
Who were those, whose love, found love's embrace?
When I asked for sweet, I got the bitter taste.
Who were those, whose love, found love's embrace?
At every step, couples entwined, singles weep and wail,
This world is full, yet none offer love's frail tale.
I dream of a Dhanu, my joy and sorrow to share,
I dream of a Dhanu, my joy and sorrow to share,
To wash away the sins of a bachelor's prayer.
Move onward, move onward, on the path to pray,
With love's beads clutched tight, chant beauty's way,
For legs were given to pace the earth's grand day.
Move onward, move onward, on the path to stay.
