mujhpe bhi to daalo ek najar jaane se pehle
mujhpe bhi to daalo ek najar jaane se pehle
kuch to yahi pe hone do asar jaane se pehle
ye dil tadpega tarsega bin tere dilbar
mujhpe bhi to daalo ek najar jaane se pehle

a meri najar ke shehensha a meri najar ke sahansha
jawani julm ka salam le lut na jaye dil ki aarzoo
yu na mujh se intkaam le ban ke dekh mera humsafar
ban ke dekh mera humsafar jaane se pehle
mujhpe bhi to daalo ek najar jaane se pehle

jab se maine tujhko pa liya
jab se maine tujhko pa liya jaag utha dil me josh hai
husn teri raaho me pada aur tu fir bhi khamosh hai
ab to mera kuch khyal kar ab to mera kuch khyal kar
jaane se pehle kuch to dil pe hona do asar
jaane se pahale ye dil tadpega tarsega
bin tere dilbar mujhpe bhi to daalo ek najar
jaane se pehle jaane se pehle are jaane se pehle

Before you leave, cast your gaze on me,
Before you depart, a glance, a decree.
Let something linger, a mark, a trace,
Before you are gone, from this desolate space.
My heart will ache, yearn without cease,
My beloved, before you find your peace,
Before you leave, cast your gaze on me.

O Shah of my sight, my sovereign true,
O Shah of my sight, I plead with you!
Youth's cruel reign, a mocking salute,
Do not let desire be put to the boot.
Do not seek vengeance, a cruel affair,
Be my companion, beyond compare,
Be my companion, before you leave,
Before you depart, a glance, reprieve.
Before you leave, cast your gaze on me.

Since I found you, since you became mine,
Since I found you, a joy so divine,
A fire ignited, a passion ablaze,
Beauty lies waiting, in love's sweet maze,
Yet you remain silent, in shadowed guise,
Now consider me, before the skies,
Now consider me, before you depart,
Let something linger upon my heart.
Before you depart, my heart will pine,
My beloved, cast your gaze, make it thine,
Before you leave, before you flee,
Before you depart, and look at me.
