aanchal udaya maine chali purvai
aanchal udaya maine chali purvai
kajal lagaya maine kali ghata chhai
julf lahraye to raat ho jayegi
jo nahi honi ho baat ho jayegi
phike hai kale kale savan ke badal
phike hai kale kale savan ke badal
gahara bahut hai teri aankho ka kajal
baat jo aadhi hai puri ho jaane do
pyar me ab humko aaj kho jaane do
julf lahraye to raat ho jayegi
jo nahi honi ho baat ho jayegi

duniya jo sun legi teri meri bate
duniya jo sun legi teri meri bate
kar degi badnam hamko, ye sawan ki raate
humne ye mana ki jeena haram ka
aisi badnamiyo se hi naam hoga
naam hoga
hoti hain ho badnami aaj ho jane do
baat jo badati hai baat badh jane do
julf laharane do raat ho jane do
jo nahi honi ho baat ho jane do

sajni o sajni kyu hai ruthi ruthi
are sajni o sajni kyu hai ruthi ruthi
darti hu teri bate ho na jutti jutti
tera hai bas tera hai pyar ka diwana
aisa na ho pyar hamera
ban jaye afsana
o mile jo tumhari najar ka ishara
to hum rok lenge nadiya ki dhara
mujhko is dhara me aj bah jane do
pyar ki naiya ko paar lag jaane do
julf laharane do raat ho jane do
jo nahi honi ho baat ho jane do

vada kiya to karke nibana
vada kiya to karke nibana
duniya se najare bacha ke
tu chale aana
patto ke piche phulo ka khilna
hota acha nahi chori chori milna
chori chori milna
hoke juda hum tum ab nahi rah sakte
gam ye judai ka ham nahi sah sakte
aisi badan se dhalaki chunariya
badara me jaise chamake bijuriya
bijuriya chamke to aag lag jayegi
aag lag jaye to pyas badh jayega
fike hai kale kale sawan ke badal
gahara bahut hai teri aankho ka kajal
baat jo aadhi hai puri ho jaane do
pyar me ab humko aaj kho jaane do
julf laharane do raat ho jane do
jo nahi honi ho baat ho jane do

I unfurled my veil, the breeze took flight,
I lined my eyes, dark clouds dimmed the light.
If tresses sway, the night will surely bloom,
And words unspoken then will pierce the gloom.

Faint are the shadows of the monsoon's grace,
Faint are the shadows of the monsoon's grace,
Deep is the darkness in your gazing face.
Let the half-said words find their release,
Let us be lost now, in love's sweet peace.
If tresses sway, the night will surely bloom,
And words unspoken then will pierce the gloom.

If the world hears whispers of you and me,
If the world hears whispers of you and me,
These monsoon nights will bring us infamy.
We know that living, then, will be a curse,
Yet from such scandal, a name will emerge,
a name will emerge.
Let the disgrace of this moment be.
Let the words that grow, continue to be.
Let tresses sway, and let the night descend,
And words unspoken then will never end.

Beloved, oh beloved, why this sullen air?
Beloved, oh beloved, why this sullen air?
Afraid your words are false, a cruel snare?
Yours alone, yours the heart's fierce desire,
Lest our love become a tragic pyre.
If your gaze meets mine, a silent plea,
I will hold back the river's raging sea.
Let me now flow within this river's heart,
Let the ship of love now make its start.
Let tresses sway, and let the night descend,
And words unspoken then will never end.

You've made a promise, now fulfill it true,
You've made a promise, now fulfill it true,
From the world's eye, come find me, too.
As flowers bloom behind the leaves' embrace,
Better this meeting, not in hidden space.
Not in hidden space.

For parted now, we cannot stay apart,
This sorrow of farewell, we cannot impart.
As a scarf slips, from the body's grace,
Like lightning flashes in a storm's embrace.
If lightning flashes, a fire will ignite,
And thirst will rise with all its might.
Faint are the shadows of the monsoon's grace,
Deep is the darkness in your gazing face.
Let the half-said words find their release,
Let us be lost now, in love's sweet peace.
Let tresses sway, and let the night descend,
And words unspoken then will never end.
