teri lataka laga hai lataka
hai saans gale me ataka
ab aur na dena jhatka
meri mombatti ye

oye tu kya jaane pyaare
tere ishq me maare maare
gaye kaabul aur bukhaare
mere taara singh ve

teri lataka laga hai lataka
hai saans gale me ataka
ab aur na dena jhatka
meri mombatti ye
oye tu kya jaane pyaare
ho tere ishq me maare maare
ho gaye kaabul aur bukhaare
mere taara singh ve

jab jab dekhu mai tujhko
mere dil me shola bhadke
o jab jab dekhu mai tujhko
mere dil me shola bhadke
tu kya jaane aag me jalna o jaato ke ladke
are o jaato ke ladke
teri ek najar pe waari
maine gaanvo ki sardaari
kya tujhse chaal hai pyaari
meri mombatti ye
oye tu kya jaane pyaare
ho tere ishq me maare maare
ho gaye kaabul aur bukhaare
mere taara singh ve

Your shadow, a noose around my neck,
My breath caught, a silent wreck.
Don't deliver another shock,
My candle's flickering clock.

Oh, you know nothing, my love,
In your love, I'm lost above.
Kabul and Bukhara have gone,
My beloved, my Tara Singh.

Your shadow, a noose, a tie,
My breath caught, as I almost die.
Don't deliver another shock,
My candle's flickering clock.
Oh, you know nothing, my love,
In your love, I'm lost above.
Kabul and Bukhara have gone,
My beloved, my Tara Singh.

Each time I see your face,
Flames ignite in my heart's space.
Oh, each time I see your face,
Flames ignite in my heart's space.
You don't know the fire's embrace, oh Jat boy of grace!
Oh, Jat boy of grace!
Sacrificed for a glance of you,
The chieftains, their dues,
What a sweet game we play, it's true,
My candle's fragile hue.
Oh, you know nothing, my love,
In your love, I'm lost above.
Kabul and Bukhara have gone,
My beloved, my Tara Singh.
