koi chori chori chupke chupke
koi chori chori chupke chupke
mujhse chupke babul ne kar di meri sadi hoye mai mar gayi
koi chori chori chupke chupke

haye mujse na puchi ha haye mujse na puchi ha
meri marji ho rama koi sune na meri arzi ho rama
haye brjori bolu kaise haye barjori bolu kaise
tadpu aise bulbul ko jaise pariya di hoye mai mar gayi
koi chori chori chupke chupke

haye apas me bole ha apas me bole sab mujhse na bole
pal bhar me dhola mera ghunghat to khole
mai kuch dekhu mai kuch sochu
mai kuch dekhu mai kuch sochu baithe baithe
kaise koi ye balma de
koi chori chori chupke chupke
koi chori chori chupke chupke

In shadows woven, hushed and low,
In shadows woven, hushed and low,
My father, in secret, a wedding decree, oh, I wither and go.
In shadows woven, hushed and low.

They never asked, no, they never asked,
My heart's own will, alas, is masked.
No one hears my pleading prayer,
Forcing me, how can I bear?
Like a nightingale, wings are bound,
Grief's own fairies, all around, oh, I wither and go.
In shadows woven, hushed and low.

They whisper and speak, they whisper and speak,
But to me, their words they conceal and bleak.
My beloved soon lifts the veil,
Before my eyes, a story to unveil.
I gaze and I dream, I gaze and I dream,
While they sit by, it would seem
How this beloved one can be?
In shadows woven, hushed and low,
In shadows woven, hushed and low.
