o balma o balma
o balma kyun na karu main tose
pyar pyar pyar main to prem diwani
o prem diwani
o saiya kyun na dekhu main tohe baar baar
tose preet purani o preet purani
o balma kyun na karu main tose
pyar pyar pyar main to prem diwani
o prem diwani

dil ki tamanna tere geeto me khoi re
phulo ke aarju me kanto pe soyi re
tere liye o saiya kitna main royi re
kitna main royi re
fir bhi hui na aankhe, chaar chaar chaar
main to prem diwani, o prem diwani
o balma kyun na karu main tose
pyar pyar pyar main to prem diwani
o prem diwani

ho chuki tumhari main to, mujhe pahchan lo
kya meri aarju hain nazro se jaan lo
main bekasur piya baat meri maan lo
varna ji main ro dungi jaar jaar jaar
main to prem diwani, o prem diwani
o balma kyun na karu main tose
pyar pyar pyar main to prem diwani
o prem diwani

O Beloved, O Beloved,
Why should I not, with you,
Embrace love, love, love?
I am love's madwoman,
O love's madwoman.

O my love, why should I not
Gaze on you, again and again?
With you, an ancient love,
O ancient love.
O Beloved, why should I not, with you,
Embrace love, love, love?
I am love's madwoman,
O love's madwoman.

My heart's longing, lost in your songs,
In the hope of flowers, I sleep on thorns,
For you, O my love, how much I have wept,
How much I have wept!
Yet still our eyes did not meet, not meet, not meet,
I am love's madwoman, O love's madwoman.
O Beloved, why should I not, with you,
Embrace love, love, love?
I am love's madwoman,
O love's madwoman.

I am yours, completely, recognize me,
Know my desires through my eyes,
I am innocent, Beloved, believe my words,
Or I will weep, weep, weep,
I am love's madwoman, O love's madwoman.
O Beloved, why should I not, with you,
Embrace love, love, love?
I am love's madwoman,
O love's madwoman.
