aa aa o o
laaj sharam ka tod ke pahra aayi hu tere pyaar me
apni galiyaa chhodke dekho aa baithi bazar me
kyu dekhte ho gair ko
aankhe mila mila kar, aankhe mila mila kar
koi tujhko le na jaye, koi tujhko le na jaye
rasta bata bata kar, rasta bata bata kar
kyu dekhte ho gair ko

tum bhi nay nay ho galiya nayi nayi hai
tum bhi nay nay ho galiya nayi nayi hai
in tang raaston me bhatke huye kahi hai
palkon me rakh na le koi, palkon me rakh na le koi
palke jhuka jhuka kar, palke jhuka jhuka kar
kyu dekhte ho gair ko

tu hi bata de kaise dil me tere samaau
tu hi bata de kaise dil me tere samaau
kaisi wafa jataau, kaisi adaa dikhaau
aanchal me aa chhupalu, aachal me aa chhupalu
sabse bacha bacha kar, sabse bach bacha kar
kyu dekhte ho gair ko

aankhe mila mila kar, aankhe mila mila kar
koi tujhko le na jaye, koi tujhko le na jaye
rasta bata bata kar, rasta bata bata kar
kyu dekhte ho gair ko

Ah, ah, oh, oh,

Breaking free from shyness' cage, I come to you, my love.
Leaving all my world behind, I sit within your market's grove.
Why do you gaze at strangers so?
Meeting eyes, again and again,
Meeting eyes, again and again.
Lest someone steal you away,
Lest someone steal you away,
Guiding the way, again and again,
Guiding the way, again and again.
Why do you gaze at strangers so?

You are new, and new the lanes,
You are new, and new the lanes,
Lost in these narrow ways we roam.
Lest someone hide you in their gaze,
Lest someone hide you in their gaze,
Lowering lashes, again and again,
Lowering lashes, again and again.
Why do you gaze at strangers so?

Tell me, how can I enter your heart?
Tell me, how can I enter your heart?
How can I show my devotion, how can I display my art?
I'll hide you in my veil,
I'll hide you in my veil,
Shielding you from all, again and again,
Shielding you from all, again and again.
Why do you gaze at strangers so?

Meeting eyes, again and again,
Meeting eyes, again and again,
Lest someone steal you away,
Lest someone steal you away,
Guiding the way, again and again,
Guiding the way, again and again.
Why do you gaze at strangers so?
