chal diye banda nawaz ched kar mere dil ka saz
chal diye banda nawaz ched kar mere dil ka saz
hum taraste hi rahe jalwe baraste hi rahe
suniye mistar chalbaz baniye na bade teer andaz
suniye mistar chalbaz baniye na bade teer andaz
or koi ghar dekhiye dil ko yaha mat fekiye
suniye mistar chalbaz baniye na bade teer andaz

hai mujhpe tu banke dard-e -jigar
dil me khatakti hai teri najar
hai mujhpe tu banke dard-e -jigar
dil me khatakti hai teri najar
bas bas tumhi se sune ae janab
kar dala ulfat ka khana kharab
bas bas tumhi se sune ae janab

man ja aye sangdil dil se mila le mera dil
suniye mistar chalbaz baniye na bade teer andaz
suniye mistar chalbaz baniye na bade teer andaz
or koi ghar dekhiye dil ko yaha mat fekiye
suniye mistar chalbaz baniye na bade teer andaz

samjho jara apni aukat ko
daman se khicho jara hath ko
samjho jara apni aukat ko
okat meri na puche huzur
hu aapka mujhko ye hai garur
okat meri na puche huzur
hu aapka mujhko ye hai garur
yu na rishta jodiye daman hamara chodiye

chal diye banda nawaz ched kar mere dil ka saz

mana ke bigde hai mere nasib
ulfat na samjhe amiro garib
mana ke bigde hai mere nasib
ulfat na samjhe amiro garib
chhodo ye ulfat ki baarikiya
rashta lo jungle na majnu miya
chhodo ye ulfat ki baarikiya

par chal diye banda nawaz ched kar mere dil ka saz

He departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart,
He departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart,
We yearned, we thirsted, while visions rained down,
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!
Seek another abode, do not cast your heart here,
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!

You dwell in me, a pain within my soul,
Your gaze, a thorn, that pierces my heart whole.
You dwell in me, a pain within my soul,
Your gaze, a thorn, that pierces my heart whole.
Enough, enough, we hear you, oh my love,
You've ruined the sanctuary of affection above.
Enough, enough, we hear you, oh my love,
You've ruined the sanctuary of affection above.
Yield, O heart of stone, and join my heart with thine,
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!
Seek another abode, do not cast your heart here,
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!

Withdraw your hand from my garment's hold,
Understand, I pray, your rightful role.
Withdraw your hand from my garment's hold,
Understand, I pray, your rightful role.
Do not ask of my worth, my lord,
To you I belong, this pride I hoard.
Do not ask of my worth, my lord,
To you I belong, this pride I hoard.
Do not forge this bond, leave my hem alone,
He departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart,
He departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart,
We yearned, we thirsted, while visions rained down,
Yet he departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart.

Though my fate may be marred and torn,
Love knows not the rich, nor the forlorn.
Though my fate may be marred and torn,
Love knows not the rich, nor the forlorn.
Leave these subtleties of love behind,
Take the path to the wilderness, madman, you'll find.
Leave these subtleties of love behind,
Take the path to the wilderness, madman, you'll find.
Leaving now your door, where will this madman roam?
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!
Listen, O trickster, cease your archery now!
Seek another abode, do not cast your heart here,
He departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart,
He departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart,
We yearned, we thirsted, while visions rained down,
Yet he departed, O Beloved, and struck the strings of my heart.
