dil to bachcha hai
aisi uljhi nazar unse hatti nahi
daatse reshmi dor katti nahi
umr kabki baras ke sufed ho gayi
kaari badari jawani ki chhatti nahi
wallah ye dhadkan badhne lagi hai
chehre ki rangat udne lagi hai
darr lagta hai tanha sone me jee
dil to bachcha hai jee

kisko pata tha pehlu me rakha
dil aisa baazi bhi hoga
hum to hamesha samajhte the koi
hum jaisa haaji hi hoga
haaye jor kare kitna shor kare
bewjah baato pe eve gaur kare
dil sa koi kamina nahi
koi to roke koi to toke
is umr me ab khaoge dhoke
darr lagta hai ishq karne me jee
dil to bachcha hai jee
dil to bachcha hai jee
thoda kachcha hai jee
dil to bachcha hai jee

koi to roke koi to toke
is umr me ab khaoge dhoke
darr lagta hai ishq karne me jee
dil to bachcha hai ji
dil to bachcha hai ji
dil to bachcha hai ji
dil to bachcha hai ji
thoda kacha hai ji
dil to bachcha hai ji
dil to bachcha hai ji
dil to bachcha hai ji
thoda kacha hai ji
dil to bachcha hai ji

The heart, a child still.

Entangled gaze, I cannot break,
The silken thread, it won't forsake.
Years have passed, to white they've flown,
Dark clouds of youth, still overgrown.

By God, these pulses start to race,
Color flees my aging face.
Fear grips me, sleeping all alone,
The heart, a child, unknown.

Who knew within, so close at hand,
A heart like this, in shifting sand?
I always thought, I understood,
A pilgrim's heart, as good as good.

It strains, it shouts, a useless plea,
On trivial things, it dwells, you see.
No rogue like this, no heart so sly,
Someone stop it! Someone cry!
At this age, where can you hide?
Fear holds me, love I can't abide,
The heart, a child inside.
The heart, a child inside.
A little raw, this heart of mine.
The heart, a child divine.

Someone stop it! Someone cry!
At this age, where can you hide?
Fear holds me, love I can't abide,
The heart, a child inside.
The heart, a child inside.
The heart, a child inside.
The heart, a child inside.
A little raw, this heart of mine.
The heart, a child divine.
The heart, a child inside.
The heart, a child inside.
A little raw, this heart of mine.
The heart, a child divine.
