galo par ye kaise nishan
hoth kisi ke maharban
chehre pe ye kyu nishan hai
pyar ki ye pehchan hai
dedu pyar na hoga mujhse ab to intejar
galo par ye kaise nishan
hoth kisi ke meharban
chehre pe ye kyu nishan hai
pyar ki ye pehchan hai
dedu pyar na hoga mujhse ab to intejar
galo par ye kaise nishan
hoth kisi ke meharban

apni jawani se mai dhukhi
jalti hu jaise jwala mukhi
badan ko chuke pyas jage
aalingan ki aas jage
tumko dekhe bin
tumse mile bin
ek pal raha na jaye
galo par ye kaise nishan
hoth kisi ke meharban

julf kyu hai ye muddi hui
lali ye kyu uddi hui
is bhogi se preet hui
thenge me uski jeet hui
baho me kas le
kas ke jo ras le
kali use bhul na paye
galo par ye kaise nishan
hoth kisi ke meharban

Upon the cheek, a painted scene,
Lips that linger, oh, so keen.
Why these marks upon your face?
Love's own emblem, time and space.
I give my love, no waiting more,
Upon the cheek, a painted shore.
Lips that linger, wanting more.

My youth, a sorrow deep within,
A volcano's fiery spin.
Touch ignites a thirst so grand,
Embrace, a touch of promised land.
Without your sight,
Without your light,
A moment's peace I can't command.
Upon the cheek, a painted stand,
Lips that linger, close at hand.

Why your tresses, softly curled?
Why the flush, the world unfurled?
With this lover, love begun,
His victory, fiercely won.
In arms entwined,
A pleasure defined,
The bud, his touch, will not outrun.
Upon the cheek, a painted sun,
Lips that linger, the race is run.
