[English]

Chori chori dil legaya dil ka chor

dekhe palat ke mujhe bar bar

Sone chandi se aziz hai wo mujhe sajna

Kadak zara sa sona mahia

patcha la evd osa ara darab labe

dava sariama cheje bussia labe

Chori chori kare dhadak dhadak jiya jiya

dil bole boom boom yeh

rut mastani kahe chadhti jawani piya piya

dil bole boom boom yeh

chori chori kare dhadak dhadak jiya jiya

dil bole boom boom yeh

rut mastani kahe chadhti jawani piya piya

dil bole boom boom yeh

baba mechebe ta mechebe ama

tu hai bada harjayi kyoun kare tang

ishq main huyi ruswayi

dukhe ang ang

Main tere ishq ki mari sun le sajjan

yeh tere liye hai gana

mahi mera bana dil tera nishana

baba micha mege ma chereta num nymeshe

oche ayge na yaman de la marun nymeshe

charbar sta bahstarte asdah ste

Chori chori kare dhadak dhadak jiya jiya

dil bole boom boom yeh

rut mastani kahe chadhti jawani piya piya

dil bole boom boom yeh

chori chori kare dhadak dhadak jiya jiya

dil bole boom boom yeh

rut mastani kahe chadhti jawani piya piya

dil bole boom boom yeh

Chori chori kare dhadak dhadak jiya jiya

dil bole boom boom yeh

rut mastani kahe chadhti jawani piya piya

dil bole boom boom yeh

chori chori kare dhadak dhadak jiya jiya

dil bole boom boom yeh

rut mastani kahe chadhti jawani piya piya

dil bole boom boom yeh

Chori chori kare dhadak dhadak jiya jiya

dil bole boom boom yeh

rut mastani kahe chadhti jawani piya piya

dil bole boom boom yeh
