Mai ek chor tu meree ranee
Choree choree le chalaa
Mai tumako tumse hee churaake
Mai ek chor tu meree ranee
Too meraa raajaa mai teree ranee
Chal paṛi mai saath tere
Saree duniyaa ko bhulaake
Too meraa raajaa…
Ham dono ne dekhaa hai ek sapnaa
Kahee pe chhota saa ek ghar hai apnaa
Aangan me utaree hai chandanee raate
Ham baithe karte hai prem kee baate
Ye baate, ye raate bhool jaye ham
To hame yaad dilaanaa, ho bhool na jaanaa
Mai ek chor tu meree ranee…
Kismat ne to hamko dukh hee baate
Apne raste me bikharaaye kaaṭe
Ho, hamne sajaaee pyaar se apnee galiyaa
Kaate chun chun ke bikhare kaliyaa
Ye kaliyaa ye galiyaa bhool jaaye ham
To hame yaad dilaanaa, ho bhool na jaanaa
Too meraa raajaa mai teree ranee….
I am a thief and you are my queen, I am stealing you from yourself
No not thief, you are my king, I am your queen; I am going with you and forgetting all the world behind.
We have both seen a dream, Somewhere there is a small home of our own.
There are moonlit nights in the courtyard, We are sitting and talking about love. If I ever forget these nights and these talks, Remind me, do not forget
Fate has meted out only sorrows to us, And spread only thorns in our path, Oh we have decorated our own lanes, Weeded our the thorns and spread flowers, If I ever forget these lanes and these flowers, Then, remind me, don’t forget
Raja Rani (1973); Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar
