meri chunari pe sabki najar atke
meri chunari pe sabki najar atke
mujhe dekho magar jara dur hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke

sone jaisa damak raha hai
mera rup sunehra
gore gore galo pe hai
kaali julf ka pahra
chand sa mukhda hoth rasile
chaal meri matwali
nadiya me dubi dubi ankhiya
hai madira ke pyaali
jo bhi dekhe usi ki niyat bhatke
mujhe dekho magar jara dur hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke

kaisa joban diya hai tune
mujhe ho mere rama
dilwalo me macha hua hai
mere liye hungama
koi kahta hai dil de de
koi kahe le dil le
kal ek aashik bola mujhse
tanhai me mil mil
dil hazaro ki julfo me hai atke
dil hazaro ki julfo me hai atke
mujhe dekho magar jara dur hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke
are hatke hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke
are hatke hatke
dur hatke re baba dur hatke

Upon my veil, all eyes alight,
Upon my veil, a hungry sight.
Behold me, yet keep your space,
Step back, Baba, from this place.
Step back, Baba, from this place.

Golden glows, my form does gleam,
A radiant, sunlit dream.
Across my cheeks, so fair and white,
Dark tresses guard the light.
Moon-like face and lips so sweet,
My gait, a wild, rhythmic beat.
Eyes that drown in river's flow,
A goblet where the madhu grows.
Each who beholds, their heart astray,
Behold me, yet keep your way.
Step back, Baba, from this place.
Step back, Baba, from this place.

What beauty, Rama, you have wrought,
In me, a treasure dearly sought.
The lovers’ hearts, a burning plea,
For me, they make their misery.
One would give his heart away,
Another bids me, come and stay.
A lover whispered, face to face,
To meet in solitude's embrace.
A thousand hearts, in tresses bound,
A thousand hearts, lost and found.
Behold me, yet keep your ground.
Step back, Baba, all around.
Step back, Baba, from this place.
Step back, Baba, from this place.
Away, away!
Step back, Baba, from this place.
Away, away!
Step back, Baba, from this place.
