ho saiya bijli hain, mere badan me
ki chhuna mujhe dur dur se
ho raja dur dur se
ki munna dur dur se, are ha

haath main na aau ki meri chal aur hain

jo mila wahi mere nainva me kho gaya
jo mila wahi mere nainva me kho gaya
chhu liya jise main bekrar ho gaya
ksipe daru gori bahiya
saiya bijli hain
saiya bijli hain, mere badan me
ki chhuna mujhe dur dur se
ho raja dur dur se
ki munna dur dur se, are ha

My love, you are lightning,
Yes, lightning coursing through my frame,
Touch me not, from a distance,
Oh, my king, from afar,
My darling, keep your distance, oh yes.
My love, you are lightning,
Yes, lightning coursing through my frame,
Touch me not, from a distance,
Oh, my king, from afar,
My darling, keep your distance, oh yes.

I cannot be held, my ways are different,
I cannot be held, my ways are different,
This wild embrace, this leaping, it has its own rhythm,
See how my body's shadow gleams,
My love, you are lightning,
Touch me not, from a distance,
Oh, my king, from afar,
My darling, keep your distance, oh yes.

Whoever meets me, is lost within my eyes,
Whoever meets me, is lost within my eyes,
Whom I touch, becomes restless,
On whom shall I place these fair arms?
My love, you are lightning,
My love, you are lightning, coursing through my frame,
Touch me not, from a distance,
Oh, my king, from afar,
My darling, keep your distance, oh yes.
