bachna ae hasino lo mai aa gaya
hay bachna ai hasino lo mai aa gaya
husn kaa aasheek, husn kaa dushman
apanee ada hai yaro se juda, hai ho
hai bachna

hai duneeya me nahee hai, aaj meraa sa deevana
pyar valo kee juban pe, hai meraa hee tarana
sabkee rang bharee aankho pe aaj
chamak raha hai meraa hee nasha, hee ho
hai bachna

jam milte hain aadab se, sham deti hai salamee
git jhukte hai labon pe, saj karte hain ghulamee
ho koyee parda ya badshah
aaj toh sab hain mujhpe fida, hai ho
hai bachna

ek hungama utha du, mai toh jau jidhar se
jit leta hu dilon ko, ek halakee see najar se
mehboobon kee mehfil me aaj
chhayee hai chhayee hai meree hee ada, hai ho
hai bachna

Beware, fair souls, for I have come!
Alas, beware, fair souls, for I have come!
Lover of beauty, foe of grace,
My style, O friends, apart I place.
Beware, fair souls, for I have come!

There's none, not a soul, so mad as I in the world this day,
On lovers' tongues, my anthem sways.
On every painted eye today, my intoxication gleams,
Yes, ho, yes, beware, fair souls, for I have come!

The goblet bows with reverence, the evening gives its salute,
Songs surrender to the lips, instruments to my pursuit.
Be it veil or royalty, all bow to me this hour,
Yes, ho, yes, beware, fair souls, for I have come!

A commotion I ignite, wherever I may roam,
I conquer hearts with a glance, from the haven of my home.
In beloveds’ gathering today, my style does reign, does reign above,
Yes, ho, yes, beware, fair souls, for I have come!
