jhalak dikha ke kar gayi diwana, magar thi kon yahi nahi jana
arey jhalak dikha ke kar gayi diwana, magar thi kon yahi nahi jana
jhalak dikha ke kar gayi diwana

shola tha bijali thi, ya koi tuta tara thi wo
jo bhi thi mere hi, pyar ka nazara thi wo
shola tha bijali thi, ya koi tuta tara thi wo
jo bhi thi mere hi, pyar ka nazara thi wo
yahi thi wo tasvire jana na, magar thi kon yahi nahi jana
arey jhalak dikha ke kar gayi diwana

kuch bhi ho mere dil, phir bhi usko pana to hai
gulshan se sahara se, dhundhkar use lana to hai
kuch bhi ho mere dil, phir bhi usko pana to hai
gulshan se sahara se, dhundhkar use lana to hai
wo hi nahi to duniya virana, magar thi kon yahi nahi jana
arey jhalak dikha ke kar gayi diwana, magar thi kon yahi nahi jana

A glimpse she gave, then drove me mad, her face unknown, a mystery's embrace,
A glimpse she gave, then drove me mad, her face unknown, a fleeting trace.
A glimpse she gave, then drove me mad.

A flame, a lightning strike, a fallen star perhaps, she might have been,
Whatever form she took, my love's own vista, a vibrant, painted scene.
A flame, a lightning strike, a fallen star perhaps, she might have been,
Whatever form she took, my love's own vista, forever keen.
Though here she was, in pictures shown, her face unknown, forever flown,
A glimpse she gave, then drove me mad.

No matter what, my heart must seek, and strive to claim her as my own,
From gardens lush, to deserts bleak, I'll search until her face is known.
No matter what, my heart must seek, and strive to claim her as my own,
From gardens lush, to deserts bleak, until her presence has been sown.
Without her, all the world a waste, her face unknown, forever chased,
A glimpse she gave, then drove me mad, her face unknown, a mystery's embrace.
