ho soniye ruk ja ni
o rabba le gaya ni haye meri jaan
namak tere chehre ka neeyat kar de beiman
namak mere chehre ka
o jara bachna hai jahar saman
namak mere chehre ka le jayega shamsan
namak mere namak mere namak mere chehre ka
o rabba le gaya ni haye meri jaan
namak tere chehre ka
o jara bachna hai jahar saman
namak mere chehre ka

solha ke baad ki ye rani umar kayamat hai
kya karu kaise bachu piche padi ye aafat hai
aa meri baho me aa sikha du tujhe pyar karna
satrah ka kare elaan namak tere namak tere
namak tere chehre ka
o jara bachna hai jahar saman
namak tere chehre ka

chuna nahi chu na mujhe ladki nahi mai aawara
o diwani ye jawani jakar na aaye dobara
ja ja re ja sar kata pyar mujhe nahi karna
seedhe karde shaitan namak mere chehre ka
o rabba le gaya ni haye meri jaan

namak tere chehre ka neeyat kar de beiman
namak tere chehre ka
o jara bachna hai jahar saman
namak mere chehre ka
re jara bachna hai jahar saman
namak mere chehre ka le jayega shamsan
namak mere namak mere namak mere chehre ka
o rabba le gaya ni haye meri jaan
namak tere chehre ka
o jara bachna hai jahar saman
namak mere chehre ka

My love, oh, tarry, wait,
My God, she steals my soul away.
The salt upon your face, it bends
My will, a traitor to my name.
The salt upon your face,
Beware, a venom in its gleam.
The salt upon my face will lead
Me to the shadowed, silent pyre.
The salt, my salt, the salt upon
Your face...
My God, she steals my soul away.
The salt upon your face,
Beware, a venom in its gleam.
The salt upon my face...

Beyond sixteen, a queen of years,
A reckoning, a day of doom.
What can I do? How can I flee
This trouble that pursues me now?
Come, to my arms, and I will show
You how to love, and all it means.
Seventeen proclaims, the salt, my salt,
The salt upon your face...
Beware, a venom in its gleam.
The salt upon your face...

Do not touch, do not, I am not
A wanton girl, to be desired.
Oh, mad one, this youth, it will
Not come again, this fleeting dawn.
Go, go away, I will not love,
I do not want such love to know.
Correct the devil's ways, the salt
Upon my face...
My God, she steals my soul away.

The salt upon your face, it bends
My will, a traitor to my name.
The salt upon your face,
Beware, a venom in its gleam.
The salt upon my face,
Beware, a venom in its gleam.
The salt upon my face will lead
Me to the shadowed, silent pyre.
The salt, my salt, the salt upon
Your face...
My God, she steals my soul away.
The salt upon your face,
Beware, a venom in its gleam.
The salt upon my face...
