हो दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
हो मेरी चोरी हो गयी दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
बड़े नाज़ो से दिल को पाला था अठरा बरस संभाला था
उन्नीसवीं बरस मे मैं बर्बाद हो गयी
दरोगा जी दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
हो दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
कागज़ कलम दवात लो लिखो रपट मेरी सा
चोरी हुई अजीब ये सोना गया ना पैसा
जागु मैं रात सारी मेरी नींद खो गयी
दरोगा जी दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
हो मेरी चोरी हो गयी दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
मुझको पता था एक दिन होगा ज़रूर धोखा
मुझको पता था एक दिन होगा ज़रूर धोखा
करती थी रोज बंद मैं हर खिड़की हर झरोखा
घर छोड़के खुला मैं हाए कल रात सो गयी
दरोगा जी दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
हो मेरी चोरी हो गयी दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
हम्म पूछो के तुम सवाल बोलो लगता था चोर कैसा
पूछो के तुम सवाल बोलो लगता था चोर कैसा
रब झूट ना बुलाए उसका चेहरा था आप जैसा
चेहरा था आप जैसा नही नही नही नही नही
तुम पे भूल माफ़ कह दो भूल हो गयी
दरोगा जी हम्म दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
बड़े नाज़ो से दिल को पाला था अठरा बरस संभाला था
उन्नीसवीं बरस मे मैं बर्बाद हो गयी
दरोगा जी चोरी हो गयी
