kaaheko nain milaaye, nain milaanewaale
tori surat man bhaaye, nain milaanewaale

aain suhaani chaandani raatein
aaja balam karein pyaaraki baatein
joban bit na jaaye, nain milaanewaale

ruth gayi mose nindiyaa-raani
basamein nahin bechain jawaani
premaka rog lagaaye, nain milaanewaale

chhed gaye ho jivan-vina
tujh bin ab mushkil hai jina
yaad teri tadapaaye, nain milaanewaale

Why did you meet my eyes, you who met my eyes?
Your form has captured my heart, you who met my eyes.

These sweet moonlit nights have arrived,
Come, my love, let us speak of love.
Lest youth should vanish, you who met my eyes...

Sleep-queen has turned away from me,
My restless youth is beyond my control.
You have kindled love's disease, you who met my eyes...

You have touched the strings of my life's veena,
Without you, living is now a struggle.
Your memory torments me, you who met my eyes...
