raja jani raja jani na maro nayanwa ke teer re
raja jani na maro nayanwa ke teer re
teer re teer re raja jani

abhi nadan hu mai najuk jan hu mujhe aise na maro
yuhi halkan hu mujhe aise na maro aise na maro
tikhi tikhi narzo se dekho na sawriya
tikhi tikhi narzo se dekho na sawriya
sah na sakungi abhi kachi hai umariya kachi hai umariya
maro na katari do dhari uthe teer re raja jani dilbar jani
raja jani na maro nayanwa ke teer re raja jani

jab anhke nam ho najar ke gam ho
are ji tauba tauba bade besharam ho
are ji tauba tauba bade besharam ho
dil tumhe saupa maine dildar manke
ban gaye saiya tum to meri jan ke
maro na katari do dhari uthe teer re
raja jani dilwar jani
raja jani na maro nayanwa ke teer re
raja jani na maro nayanwa ke teer re
teer re teer re raja jani

My king, my beloved, do not pierce with eyes of dart,
My king, my beloved, do not pierce with eyes of dart,
The dart, the dart, my king.

Still naive, a fragile soul, so do not slay me so,
I am frail, so do not pierce, do not pierce me so,
With sharp gazes, do not look, O my beloved,
With sharp gazes, do not look, O my beloved,
I cannot bear, my youth is raw, my youth is raw.
Do not strike, the double-edged dagger, let no arrow rise,
My king, my beloved, my heart's desire,
My king, my beloved, do not pierce with eyes of dart, my king.

When tears well, and sorrow haunts the gaze,
Alas, alas, how shameless you are,
Alas, alas, how shameless you are,
My heart I gave to you, considering you my beloved,
I became your own, you claimed my life,
Do not strike, the double-edged dagger, let no arrow rise,
My king, my beloved, my heart's desire,
My king, my beloved, do not pierce with eyes of dart,
My king, my beloved, do not pierce with eyes of dart,
The dart, the dart, my king.
