nahi malum kyu
nahi malum ki piya jab se mile tum tum
ek nirale nashe me main hu gum
o ek nirale nashe me main hu gum
nahi malum ki piya jab se mile tum tum
ek nirale nashe me main hu gum
o ek nirale nashe me main hu gum

tumse jis ghadi meri aankhe ladi
tumse jis ghadi meri aankhe ladi
na jane kyu mere dil ki dhadkan badi
na jane kyu meri payal kare rumjhum rumjhum
nahi malum kyu
nahi malum ki piya jab se mile tum tum
ek nirale nashe me main hu gum
o ek nirale nashe me main hu gum

ek choti si hain meri vinti mat talna
main dagmaga rahi hu sajan sambhalna
ek choti si hain meri vinti mat talna
main dagmaga rahi hu sajan sambhalna
badi aasha se lagaya hain kumkum kumkum
nahi malum kyu
nahi malum ki piya jab se mile tum tum
ek nirale nashe me main hu gum
o ek nirale nashe me main hu gum

jala ke tumne piya meri mohabbat ka deeya
mohabbat ka deeya
jala ke tumne piya meri mohabbat ka deeya
mohabbat ka deeya
andhere dil me mere mano ujala kiya
mahak uthe meri aasha ki sab kusum kusum
nahi malum kyu
nahi malum ki piya jab se mile tum tum
ek nirale nashe me main hu gum
o ek nirale nashe me main hu gum

I know not why,
I know not, Beloved, since our meeting,
Lost am I in an ethereal dream,
Oh, in an ethereal dream I am lost.
I know not, Beloved, since our meeting,
Lost am I in an ethereal dream,
Oh, in an ethereal dream I am lost.

The moment when my eyes met yours,
The moment when my eyes met yours,
I know not why my heart did race,
I know not why my anklets sing and sway,
Rumjhum, rumjhum, in their playful dance.
I know not why,
I know not, Beloved, since our meeting,
Lost am I in an ethereal dream,
Oh, in an ethereal dream I am lost.

A small request I have, heed it, do not deny,
I falter, Beloved, hold me, stay near.
A small request I have, heed it, do not deny,
I falter, Beloved, hold me, stay near.
With such hope, I have adorned my brow.
I know not why,
I know not, Beloved, since our meeting,
Lost am I in an ethereal dream,
Oh, in an ethereal dream I am lost.

You lit, Beloved, the lamp of my love,
The lamp of love.
You lit, Beloved, the lamp of my love,
The lamp of love.
Into my darkened heart, you brought the light.
My hopes bloom like a thousand flowers.
I know not why,
I know not, Beloved, since our meeting,
Lost am I in an ethereal dream,
Oh, in an ethereal dream I am lost.
