mile jo raah me chhede
wo muskura ke mujhe
hanse wo shokh nigaho se gudguda ke mujhe
wo mujhko pass bulaye to dil mera dhadke
kahin wo maar na daale sata sata ke mujhe

bedardi beimaan natkhat saanwariya
bedardi beimaan natkhat saanwariya
jiya jala gayo ram re mora
jiya jala gayo ram re mora
bedardi beimaan

are wo aake shararat se mera naam liya
main hans padi to mera hath badh ke tham liya
chhudaya hath to daman pakad liya mera
na jane kab ka sitamgar intkaam liya
aa bedardi beimaan natkhat saanwariya
bedardi beimaan

hazaar baar to taala use bahane se
tab bhi wo baaj na aaye mujhe satane se
main usse lakh kahu chhod dekh lega koi
use to laaj na aaye magar zamane se
aa bedardi beimaan natkhat saanwariya
bedardi beimaan natkhat saanwariya
jiya jala gayo ram re mora
bedardi beimaan

If on the path, he teases,
a smile, a glance, that pleases.
With eyes so bright, he stirs my core,
Summoning near, my heart beats more.
Lest he, tormenting, should destroy.

Heartless, faithless, playful darling,
Heartless, faithless, playful darling,
He’s set my soul aflame, oh Rama,
He’s set my soul aflame, oh Rama,
Heartless, faithless...

He calls my name, with playful art,
I laugh, and then, he takes my hand.
I pull away, he holds my hem,
A silent game, a cruel command.
Oh, heartless, faithless darling.

A thousand times, I’ve pushed him off,
Yet still, he comes, my soul to scoff.
I plead, "Let go, someone will see!"
He knows no shame, but only glee.
Oh, heartless, faithless darling.
Heartless, faithless, playful darling,
He’s set my soul aflame, oh Rama,
Heartless, faithless...
