jani dilbar jani o jani ho dilbar jani
o na tere bas me na mere bas me
ye jawani badi diwani
ha aa aa ha aa aa jani

kab kaha kabhi kahi koi hasi najar aa jaye
kho gaya dil ye khabar aa jaye
jani dilbar jani o jani

ye badi umar bada bura ye jamana hai
admi aashik purana hai
jani dilbar jani o jani jani

ye najar jhuki hui uthi to
kya pata kya hoga
tham lo ye dil karo tauba
jani dilbar jani o jani ho dilbar jani
o na tere bas me na mere bas me
ye jawani badi diwani
ha aa aa ha aa aa jani

Beloved, my love, oh my beloved,
Beloved, you're not in control, nor am I,
This youth, a wild, untamed fire.
Ha, ah, ha, ah, beloved.

When, where, sometime, somewhere, a beauty appears,
My heart is lost, and the news comes clear,
Beloved, my love, oh my beloved.

This age, a cruel, harsh world we face,
Man, a lover, in an ancient embrace,
Beloved, my love, oh my beloved, beloved.

If these eyes, downcast, then lift and gaze,
Who knows what fate, in those moments, plays?
Hold fast your heart, and repent, pray,
Beloved, my love, oh my beloved,
Beloved, you're not in control, nor am I,
This youth, a wild, untamed fire.
Ha, ah, ha, ah, beloved.
