balam ji bade nadan balam ji bade nadan
dard mera jane na jane na
balam ji bade nadan balam ji bade nadan

sau sau ishare karu ghunghat uthake
jiska dard kahu naina chupake
phir bhi na samjhe re wo beiman
balam ji bade nadan
dard mera jane na jane na
balam ji bade nadan

unke liye ye khoi khoi ada hai
aankho ki masti hai dil ka nasha hai
dil ka nasha hai
hone lagi mohabbat jawan
balam ji bade nadan
dard mera jane na jane na
balam ji bade nadan

jabse mili hu ek bhole sajan se
hui diwani mai to thandi pawan se
thandi pawan se
jal jaye na meri nanhi si jan
balam ji bade nadan
balam ji bade nadan
dard mera jane na jane na
balam ji bade nadan

My Beloved, so naive, my Beloved, so naive,
He knows not my pain, knows it not,
My Beloved, so naive, my Beloved, so naive.

A hundred signals I send, lifting my veil,
Whose ache I whisper, hidden in my gaze,
Yet still, he understands not, that faithless one,
My Beloved, so naive,
He knows not my pain, knows it not,
My Beloved, so naive.

For him, this lost, lingering grace,
The eyes' wildness, the heart's intoxication,
The heart's intoxication,
Love blossoms young,
My Beloved, so naive,
He knows not my pain, knows it not,
My Beloved, so naive.

Since I met this innocent lover,
I am mad with the cool breeze,
The cool breeze,
Lest my tender life be consumed by fire,
My Beloved, so naive,
My Beloved, so naive,
He knows not my pain, knows it not,
My Beloved, so naive.
