is nadi ko mera aaina maan lo
is nadi ko mera aaina maan lo
ki mohabbat ka bahta nasha jaan lo
is nadi ko mera aaina maan lo

tarango me dhadkan larajta jigar
raks kar de kamal thar tharata bhawar
tarango me dhadkan larajta jigar
raks kar de kamal thar tharata bhawar
ye chhite kisi ki tamaanna na ho
ye chhite kisi ki tamaanna na ho
kahi aapke haatho tanha na ho
is rupak ko mera aaina maan lo
ankahe raaz ki daasta jaan lo
is nadi ko mera aaina maan lo

ude baadlo me bala hasrate
parindo se chhu aaye behad hade
hawao ko itni izazat na do
hawao ko itni izazat na do
ki auro ka bhi sabr tauba karo
ye kinara mera aaina maan lo
har lahar se meri aarzoo jaan lo
is nadi ko mera aaina maan lo

tani doriyo par saji zindagi
isharo pe chadhti utarti khushi
tani doriyo par saji zindagi
isharo pe chadhti utarti khushi
dupatte se tinake jhatakti raho
dupatte se tinake jhatakti raho
gulo naaz se mera daaman bharo
is nadi ko mera aaina maan lo
ki mohabbat ka bahta nasha jaan lo
is nadi ko mera aaina maan lo

Behold this river, my mirror bright,
Where love's intoxicating currents ignite.
This river, my mirror, reflect my soul,
And know the secrets that it will extol.

In waves, a heartbeat, a trembling heart,
Where lotuses dance, and whirlpools restart.
Let these droplets not be another's desire,
Lest your hands find only lonely fire.
This metaphor, my mirror, you must embrace,
And know the untold tales this form will trace.
Behold this river, my mirror so true,

Clouds take flight with untold hopes,
Birds touch heights beyond all slopes.
Don't give the winds such liberty,
Don't give the winds such liberty,
That others' patience they should flee.
This shore, my mirror, its depths reveal,
And from each wave, my yearning feel.
Behold this river, my mirror's gleam.

Life hangs poised on tautened strings,
Happiness, by gestures, takes its wings.
From your shawl, brush the falling dust,
From your shawl, brush the falling dust,
With blooms of beauty, fill my trust.
This river, my mirror, let it impart,
The flowing intoxication of a loving heart.
Behold this river, my mirror's grace.
