tirche naino wali o bibi bholi bhali
tu yad aane lagi hai ja meri jane lagi hai
tu yad aane lagi hai ja meri jane lagi hai
tirchi topi wale o babu bhole bhale
tu yad aane laga hai dil mera jane laga hai
tu yad aane laga hai dil mera jane laga hai

mai gaw ka sidha sadha balam kaha mai aa gaya
mai gaw ka sidha sadha balam kaha mai aa gaya
is shaher me mera janam bhala aake ghabra gaya
meri dunia se ye teri dunia hai nirali
meri dunia se ye teri dunia hai nirali
tirche naino wali
tirche naino wali o bibi bholi bhali
tu yad aane lagi hai ja meri jane lagi hai
tu yad aane laga hai dil mera jane laga hai

lagta hai dar kaliya pyar ki yaha khilti nahi
lagta hai dar kaliya pyar ki yaha khilti nahi
milte hai dil takdire magar sada milti nahi
pyar mohabbat ke duhsman hote hai dunia wale
pyar mohabbat ke dusman hote hai dunia wale
tirchi topi wale
tirchi topi wale o babu bhole bhale
tu yad aane laga hai dil mera jane laga hai
tu yad aane laga hai dil mera jane laga hai
tirche naino wali o bibi bholi bhali
tu yad aane lagi hai ja meri jane lagi hai
tu yad aane lagi hai ja meri jane lagi hai

With eyes askew, oh maiden fair,
You haunt my thoughts, as I despair,
You come to mind, as I depart,
You come to mind, and break my heart.

With tilted cap, oh rustic lad,
You stir my soul, both good and bad,
You come to mind, my heart takes flight,
You come to mind, and dim the light.

A simple groom from village green,
Where did I stray, what have I seen?
This city’s walls, a frightful maze,
My birth here, lost in a daze.
Your world and mine, a world apart,
Your world and mine, a broken heart.
With eyes askew...

I fear the dark, where love won't bloom,
I fear the dark, within this room.
Hearts may meet, but fate won't yield,
Hearts may meet, love's shield concealed.
Love’s foes abound, in every place,
Love’s foes abound, disgrace, disgrace.
With tilted cap...

You haunt my thoughts...
