jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya
jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya
jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya
nindiya jo uljhi zara zara chakkar vo chala gaya
nindiya jo uljhi zara zara chakkar vo chala gaya
jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya

khoyi thi main yaado me khud apne hi khwabo me
mera dupatta nila tha chor bahot zehrila tha
kaise kahu kya beet gaya dushman mujhse jeet gaya
kaise kahu kya beet gaya dushman mujhse jeet gaya
mom ki gudiya thi vo mujhko
mom ki gudiya thi vo mujhko patthar bana gaya
jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya

main phulo ki daali thi main puja ki thali thi
mere bhi kuch sapne the mere bhi kuch apne the
sare sapne chur huye sare apne dur huye
sare sapne chur huye sare apne dur huye
chain se main soyi thi
chain se main soyi thi meri ninde uda gaya
jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya
jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya
nindiya jo uljhi zara zara chakkar vo chala gaya
jaane vo kaisa chor tha dupatta chura gaya

A thief unknown, he stole away the veil,
A thief unknown, the veil he did assail.
A thief unknown, the veil he did conceal,
As slumber tangled, just a little while, he fled the field.
A thief unknown, he stole away the veil.

Lost in memories, in dreams I'd weave,
My veil was blue, a serpent to believe.
How can I speak of what, did I receive?
The foe prevailed, my heart he did deceive.
A waxen doll, I used to be,
Now turned to stone, for all to see.
A thief unknown, he stole away the veil.

A floral branch, a sacred offering,
I had my hopes, my cherished owning.
All dreams were crushed, my kin, departing,
All dreams were crushed, my loved ones, parting.
In peaceful sleep, I used to lie,
He stole my rest beneath the sky.
A thief unknown, he stole away the veil,
A thief unknown, he stole away the veil.
As slumber tangled, just a little while, he fled the field.
A thief unknown, he stole away the veil.
