na na na jane na dungi o re kanhai teri duhai
dekho na jana meri jan chali jaye
na na na jane na dungi o re kanhai teri duhai
dekho na jana meri jan chali jaye

baje kaha hai tune murali churai
murali chura ke chupai
bina bansuri ke kaise gunajega gana
o diwani tune ye soch na pai
chhede jan jan kahe kanha chhede jan jan
o re kanhai teri duhai
dekho na jana meri jan chali jaye

mat chhori chori chori
meri murali na sautan tori
kanha teri bansi ke karan
kahe sudh bhi churai tune mori
milan jaye mujhko to tod tod
milan jaye mujhko to tod tod
o re kanhai teri duhai
dekho na jana meri jan chali jaye
na na na jane na dungi o re kanhai teri duhai
dekho na jana meri jan chali jaye

No, no, I won't let you go, O Kanhaiya, I implore,
See, if you leave, my very life will pour.
No, no, I won't let you go, O Kanhaiya, I implore,
See, if you leave, my very life will pour.

Why have you stolen the flute, its song now concealed?
Having stolen the flute, hidden, how will the music be revealed?
Without its breath, how will your melody flow?
Oh, mad one, this truth you've failed to know.
Why this play of life, this torment, this game of life?
O Kanhaiya, I implore,
See, if you leave, my very life will pour.

Don't steal, don't steal, don't steal,
My flute, don't let it feel another's zeal.
Because of your flute, O Kanhaiya,
Why did you steal my peace, my soul's appeal?
To meet you, I would break,
To meet you, I would break,
O Kanhaiya, I implore,
See, if you leave, my very life will pour.
No, no, I won't let you go, O Kanhaiya, I implore,
See, if you leave, my very life will pour.
