jine na marne de, haye dahiya
jine na marne de
haye dahiya, haye dahiya re
aafat jawani sine me thak thak kare
haye dahiya, sine me thak thak kare
haye dahiya, haye dahiya re
kafar jawani, jine na marne de

oo kahe dekhu mai andekhe sapne
kahe lage paraye apne
rit mai na janu, rashme na manu
rit mai na janu, rashme na manu
beri jiya tha mera ho ho ho
kuch bhi na karne de haye dahiya
kuch bhi na karne
haye dahiya, haye dahiya re
pidh anjani, jine na marne de

ho oo uga purab me suraj ka phul re
tere kadmo se jo udati dhul re
mang mai sajaye lu, kumkum banaye lu
mang mai sajaye lu, kumkum banaye lu
mathe pe chamke re ho, ho, ho
bandho to janu re, haye dahiya
bandho to janu re
haye dahiya, haye dahiya re
nadiya ka pani, jine na marne de
haye dahiya, jine na marne de

Neither life nor death allows, alas,
Neither life nor death allows.
Alas, alas!
This youthful torment, a heart's weary beat,
Alas, the heart's weary beat,
Alas, alas!
This faithless youth, neither life nor death allows.

Why dream of unseen dreams?
Why do strangers seem my own?
I know no custom, I heed no law,
I know no custom, I heed no law.
My heart, a foe, oh, oh, oh!
Not a thing it lets me do, alas,
Not a thing allows.
Alas, alas!
This unknown pain, neither life nor death allows.

The sun's bloom rises in the east,
From your feet, the dust takes flight.
Let me adorn my parting, let me make it vermilion,
Let me adorn my parting, let me make it vermilion,
Let it shine on my brow, oh, oh, oh!
Bind me, then I'll know, alas,
Bind me, then I'll know.
Alas, alas!
Like river's water, neither life nor death allows,
Alas, neither life nor death allows.
