dheeth langar natkhat harjaai
tohe laaj na aaye
ek to man ka dheeraj lute
duje jiya jalaaye
dheeth langar
ho dheeth langar natkhat harajaai
tohe laaj na aaye

aate jaate baiyaan pakde
aate jaate baiyaan pakde, roke baat hamaari
kankad maare gagariya phode
kankad maare gagariya phode
waah re preet tihaari
nit nit ki ye raar kanhaai
ham se sahi na jaaye
dheeth langar natkhat harjaai
tohe laaj na aaye

baansuriya ki ter sunaakar
baansuriya ki ter sunaakar, hamko paas bulaaye
ham aaye to auron ke sang
ham aaye to auron ke sang
hil mil raas rachaaye
bebas ka man bas mein karake
chaturaai dikhalaaye
dheeth langar natkhat harjaai
tohe laaj na aaye
ek to man ka dheeraj lute
duje jiya jalaaye
ho dheeth langar
ho dheeth langar natkhat harajaai
tohe laaj na aaye

Bold anchor, rogue and reckless,
Do you feel no shame?
First, you steal my heart's patience,
Then ignite my flame.
Bold anchor.
Oh, bold anchor, rogue and reckless,
Do you feel no shame?

Coming, going, you seize my arms,
Coming, going, block my way,
You hurl stones, shatter my vessel,
Oh, what a love, they say!
Daily this fight, oh Kanhaiya,
I can't bear it anymore, I pray.
Bold anchor, rogue and reckless,
Do you feel no shame?

With your flute's sweet song you beckon,
With your flute's sweet call, you draw me near,
When I come, you dance with others,
When I come, you blend with all,
A helpless heart you conquer,
With cunning display.
Bold anchor, rogue and reckless,
Do you feel no shame?
First, you steal my heart's patience,
Then ignite my flame.
Oh bold anchor.
Oh, bold anchor, rogue and reckless,
Do you feel no shame?
