najar ki katari ye kaise chali
najar ki katari ye kaise chali
haye ram ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi
najar ki katari ye kaise chali
haye ram ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi

hum din dhale jate the chale
hum din dhale jate the chale
balam ne dekha fir hamne dekha naina mile
bas naina milan ki der thi
bas naina milan ki der thi
ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi
najar ki katari ye kaise chali
haye ram ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi

karte the kya jab usne kaha
karte the kya jab usne kaha
hum hai tumhare naino ke mare rukna jara
rukne hi ko thi mai bawri
ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi
najar ki katari ye kaise chali
haye ram ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi

bolo tumhi aisa dekha kahi
bolo tumhi aisa dekha kahi
tadpe hai ghayal jaise ki mahfil may hi nahi
ek mai hi nahi ghayal hui
ek mai hi nahi ghayal hui
ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi
najar ki katari ye kaise chali
haye ram ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi
ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi
najar ki katari ye kaise chali
haye ram ye lagi ye lagi ye lagi

A dagger of a glance, how swift it flew,
A dagger of a glance, pierced through and through!
Oh, Ram, it struck, it struck, it struck so true!
A dagger of a glance, how swift it flew,
Oh, Ram, it struck, it struck, it struck anew!

We walked as twilight softly fell,
We walked along, beneath its spell,
My love beheld, and then I saw, eyes met,
Just the moment of eyes meeting,
Just the moment of eyes meeting,
it struck, it struck, it struck anew!
A dagger of a glance, how swift it flew,
Oh, Ram, it struck, it struck, it struck anew!

What could I do when he had said,
What could I do when he had said,
"I am yours, by your eyes ensnared, stay now, instead."
I was about to stop, a love-struck fool,
it struck, it struck, it struck anew!
A dagger of a glance, how swift it flew,
Oh, Ram, it struck, it struck, it struck anew!

Tell me, have you ever seen such a plight?
Tell me, have you ever seen such a plight?
Wounded souls, tormented, not just in sight,
I am not the only one brought low,
I am not the only one brought low,
it struck, it struck, it struck anew!
A dagger of a glance, how swift it flew,
Oh, Ram, it struck, it struck, it struck anew!
it struck, it struck, it struck anew!
A dagger of a glance, how swift it flew,
Oh, Ram, it struck, it struck, it struck anew!
