lukchup ke mai ghumi gali gali kahi mila nahi mera piya
khil khil ke hans di kali kali par khila nahi mera jiya
meri itni kahani meri hai ye pareshani
kabhi aye koi aye koi bole maine dil diya
dhund rahi hu mai aisa diwana thoda sa pagla thoda sayana
thoda sa pagla thoda sayana

ha mujhse kare wo aake pyari pyari bate
chehre ko chand keh de julfon ko rate

I wandered, hidden, through every street,
My love, nowhere to meet.
Each bud bloomed with a joyful gleam,
Yet my heart remained un-dreamed.

This, my tale, this my plight,
If only someone would arrive, and say, "My heart's alight!"
I search for a lover, wild and true,
A touch of madness, wisdom too.
A touch of madness, wisdom too.

Yet my heart remained un-dreamed.

This, my tale, this my plight,

A touch of madness, wisdom too.

He'd come to me, with words so sweet,
Call my face the moon, my hair, the night.
He'd come to me, with words so sweet,
Call my face the moon, my hair, the night.
When he comes to me, he'd say, "My love, my dear,"
My heart would yearn for him, and hold him near.
"I am your devotee, your soul," he'd plead,
"I am your devotee, your soul," he'd plead,
And falter, should he see me start to frown,
A touch of madness, wisdom profound.
A touch of madness, wisdom profound.

He'd bring me betel, from Bhopal's embrace,
A lehenga from Nainital's space.
He'd bring me betel, from Bhopal's embrace,
A lehenga from Nainital's space.
Should he travel to Bareilly, kohl he'd seek,
From Lucknow, a kurta, artistry unique.
If he journeyed to Banaras, a sari he'd find,
If he journeyed to Banaras, a sari he'd find,
And ask from Delhi, what else I'd require,
A touch of madness, wisdom higher.
A touch of madness, wisdom higher.

My love, nowhere to meet.

Yet my heart remained un-dreamed.

A touch of madness, wisdom too.
