lale di jan jan jan zara rukja
lale di jan jan jan zara rukja
mujhko pahchan mai kurban ye na chup ja
lale di jan jan jan zara rukja
kadam bechain hai to chal me kya kya bal hai
isi raftar pe to pyar mera pagal hai
kadam bechain hai to chal me kya kya bal hai
isi raftar pe to pyar mera pagalhai
aanhko me kajal hai galo pe badal hai
badi hasi sham hai julfo ki sham hai

mai kurban wai wai wai lale di jan jan jan zara rukja
mujhko pahchan mai kurban ye na chup ja
lale di jan jan jan zara rukja
chhupa rahta nahi andaz dil ke maro ka
hame pahchan le ye kam hai dil daro ka
chhupa rahta nahi andaz dil ke maro ka
hame pahchan le ye kam hai dil daro ka
ha dil ke yaro ka banda hu pyaro ka
jara le le salam hazir gulam haye wai wai meharba
lale di jan jan jan zara rukja
mujhko pahchan mai kurban ye na chup ja
lale di jan jan jan zara rukja

chale ho ruthke man jaoge halke halke
kahi bhi jaoge aa jaoge dil me chalke
chahe yaha chalke chahe waha chalke
teri aankh rup ka jam mere ho nam hai wai wai
meharba lale di jan jan jan zara rukja
mujhko pahchan mai kurban ye na chup ja
lale di jan jan jan zara rukja

Beloved's soul, wait, oh wait, linger near,
Beloved's soul, wait, a moment, hold me dear.
Recognize me, I am sacrifice, do not disappear,
Beloved's soul, wait, the moment's near.

Restless feet, what strength within your stride,
At this swift pace, my love cannot hide.
Restless feet, what strength within your stride,
At this swift pace, my love does confide.
Kohl-lined eyes, cheeks kissed by clouds above,
A smiling evening, a night of tresses, love.

I am sacrifice, oh, wait, beloved's soul, wait,
Recognize me, I am sacrifice, do not abate.
Beloved's soul, wait, the hour is great.
The heart's true measure cannot be concealed,
To know us well, is love's true field.
The heart's true measure cannot be concealed,
To know us well, love's power revealed.
Friend of the heart, to lovers I bow,
Take my greeting, your humble servant now,
Oh kind one, beloved's soul, wait, somehow.
Recognize me, I am sacrifice, do not now.
Beloved's soul, wait, allow.

You leave in anger, softly you'll return,
Wherever you wander, my heart you will discern.
Whether here or there, your heart will yearn,
Your eyes, the cup of beauty, to my name they burn,
Oh kind one, beloved's soul, wait, to learn.
Recognize me, I am sacrifice, do not spurn,
Beloved's soul, wait, return.
