tu mujhe tham le ki mai gir na jau
gir na jau
tu mujhe tham le ki mai gir na jau
gir na jau
teri aankhe gulabi gulabi
ban gaya mai piye bin sarabi
tu mujhe tham le ki mai gir na jau
gir na jau

tu aise aayi ki ghata jaise chhayi
chain bhi churaya nind bhi udayi
duhai duhai meri tauba
hui bat mulakat tere sath sari rat
dekh sar pe na ye ilzam le
tu mujhe tham le ki mai gir na jau
gir na jau

tu muskurake koi jadu jagake
tune mere dil pe teer sa chalake
nishana banaya meri tauba
mere yar ye bahar hai bekarar mera pyar
dur jane ka na ab nam le
tu mujhe tham le ki mai gir na jau
gir na jau
teri aankhe gulabi gulabi
ban gaya mai piye bin sarabi
tu mujhe tham le ki mai gir na jau
gir na jau

Hold me close, lest I fall,
Lest I fall,
Hold me close, lest I fall,
Lest I fall.
Your eyes, a blush of rose,
I am drunk, yet no wine flows.
Hold me close, lest I fall,
Lest I fall.

You arrived, a gathering storm,
Stole my peace, and sleep was torn.
I cry out, I repent,
Our meeting, the whole night spent.
See, take not the blame I bear,
Hold me close, lest I fall,
Lest I fall.

You smiled, a magic bloom,
Pierced my heart, dispelling gloom.
You aimed, and struck, I swear,
My friend, the spring, my love, despair.
Speak no word of parting now,
Hold me close, lest I fall,
Lest I fall.
Your eyes, a blush of rose,
I am drunk, yet no wine flows.
Hold me close, lest I fall,
Lest I fall.
