gori milna ho milna nadiya ke par
na baba na koi dekha lega
hum to chupke se chupke se kar lenge pyar
are na baba na koi dekha lega

nadi paare na milna to bagiyan me milna
bagiyan me milna re bagiyan me milna
rain thodi si jaye to galiyan me milna
milne julne ke jalim thikane hazar
na bada na koi dekha na lena
gori milna ho milna nadiya ke par
na baba na koi dekha lega
na baba na koi dekha lega

jo na galiyan me milna to panghat pe milna
panghat pe milna re panghat pe milna
nahi pihar to babul ki chokhat pe milna
chokhat pe milna
lau bele ke gajre chameli ke har
na bada na koi dekha na lena
gori milna ho milna nadiya ke par
na baba na koi dekha lega
na baba na koi dekha lega

chahe pal pal jiya apni gori se milna
gori se milna re gori se milna
kuch na hoyibe to mailan me chori se milna
chori se milna
koi puche to bole dulhaniya hamar
na bada na koi dekha na lena
gori milna ho milna nadiya ke par
na baba na koi dekha lega
na baba na koi dekha lega

Across the river, to meet my love,
No, father, no, someone might see.
We'll steal our love in whispers soft,
No, father, no, someone might see.

If not by river, then in the gardens meet,
In the gardens, oh, in the gardens meet,
When night descends, in the alley's sweet,
A thousand cruel haunts for our secret tryst.
No, father, no, someone might see.
Across the river, to meet my love,
No, father, no, someone might see.
No, father, no, someone might see.

If not in alleys, at the well we'll meet,
At the well, oh, at the well we'll meet,
If not at home, by father's threshold sweet,
By the threshold, there we'll meet.
I'll bring jasmine garlands, champak's fragrant grace,
No, father, no, someone might see.
Across the river, to meet my love,
No, father, no, someone might see.
No, father, no, someone might see.

Each moment yearn to meet my love,
Meet my love, oh, to meet my love,
If nothing else, steal a meeting of love,
Meeting in secret, there we'll meet.
If questioned, she's my bride, they'll know,
No, father, no, someone might see.
Across the river, to meet my love,
No, father, no, someone might see.
No, father, no, someone might see.
