mohabbat chikni chikni hai ke babu fisal na jana
mohabbat chikni chikni hai ke babu fisal na jana
jamana re jamana haye jamana najuk najuk hai
kisi se dil na lagana mohabbat chikni chikni hai
ke babu fisal na jana

kabu me rakhna babu ye dil hai bada mawali
kabu me rakhna babu ye dil hai bada mawali
bich bajariya bik jayenge lauta bartan thali
bich bajariya bik jayenge lauta bartan thali
ye dhanda re haye ye dhadna
ye dhadna ulta pulta hai ke ulte latak na jana
mohabbat chikni chikni hai ke babu fisal na jana

ye powder or surkhi wale gore gore mukhde
ye powder or surkhi wale gore gore mukhde
le jate hai nakad narayan de jate hai dukhde
le jate hai nakad narayan de jate hai dukhde
ho ye galiya re ye galiya haye ye galiya
ye galiya uljhil uljhi hai aage kadam na badhana
mohabbat chikni chikni hai ke babu fisal na jana

rato ko jagoge bhaiya din me so jaoge
rato ko jagoge bhaiya din me so jaoge
kise dhundhne nikle ho tum khud hi kho jaoge
kise dhundhne nikle ho tum khud hi kho jaoge
dagariya haye dagariya dagariya
dagariya unchi nichi hai musafir bhatak na jana
mohabbat chikni chikni hai ke babu fisal na jana
jamana najuk najuk hai kisi se dil na lagana

Love is slick, so slick, oh Babu, don't you slip,
Love is slick, so slick, oh Babu, don't you slip.
The world, ah, the world, oh, the world, so fragile, frail,
Don't give your heart to anyone, Love is slick.
Oh, Babu, don't you slip.

Hold your heart, Babu, it's a rogue, a rebel wild,
Hold your heart, Babu, this heart's a rebel child.
In the market's square, you'll be sold, a pot, a pan, a plate,
In the market's square, you'll be sold, all your worth, your fate.
This business, ah, this business, oh, this business turns,
This business upside down, don't hang yourself.
Love is slick, so slick, oh Babu, don't you slip.

These powders, these rouged and painted faces fair,
These powders, these painted faces, oh, so fair.
They take your cash, your treasure, and leave you grief and care,
They take your wealth, your silver, leaving only despair.
These streets, ah, these streets, oh, these streets entwine,
These streets are tangled, don't take a further stride.
Love is slick, so slick, oh Babu, don't you slip.

You'll stay awake at night, dear brother, sleep by day,
You'll stay awake at night, dear brother, sleep away.
Whom do you seek? You'll lose yourself, they say,
Whom do you seek? You'll vanish on the way.
The path, ah, the path, oh, the path so steep,
The path is uneven, traveler, don't you stray.
Love is slick, so slick, oh Babu, don't you slip.
The world is fragile, frail, don't give your heart away.
