najar hai kanto se tikhi
ho tan hai phulo se halka
najat hai kanto se tikhi
ho tan hai phulo se halka
humari jaan le lega
ishara tere aanchal ka
ho dilbar janiya haye
ho dilbar janiya
ho dilbar janiya haye
ho dilbar janiya

saja ke resham ka fatka
ho mere dil ko de jhatka
hawa me kyun ude jalim
pahan ke juta makhamal ka
ho sun mere haniya haye
ho sun mere haniya
ho sun mere haniya haye
ho sun mere haniya

kashmiri sebo ki lali
chhalke tere galo se
sawan bhi sharmaye tere
ghunghar wale balo se
dil ko le duba hai
dora tere kajal ka
najat hai kanto se tikhi
ho tan hai phulo se halka
humari jaan le lega
ishara tere aanchal ka
ho dilbar janiya haye
ho dilbar janiya
ho dilbar janiya haye
ho dilbar janiya

saja ke resham ka fatka
ho mere dil ko de jhatka
hawa me kyun ude jalim
pahan ke juta makhamal ka
ho sun mere haniya haye
ho sun mere haniya
ho sun mere haniya haye
ho sun mere haniya

rashmo ki janjir tod kar
aa gayi teri baho me
dekh goriye dol na jana
pyar ki lambi raho me
jiwan bhar ka sath hai apna
khel nahi pal ka
najat hai kanto se tikhi
ho tan hai phulo se halka
humari jaan le lega
ishara tere aanchal ka
ho dilbar janiya haye
ho dilbar janiya
ho dilbar janiya haye
ho dilbar janiya

Eyes, a thorn's sharp sting,
Body, light as a flower's wing.
Eyes, a thorn's sharp sting,
Body, light as a flower's wing.
Our life will you take,
A gesture from your veil's swing.
Oh, Beloved, my life's breath,
Oh, Beloved.
Oh, Beloved, my life's breath,
Oh, Beloved.

Wearing silk's soft embrace,
My heart, you do displace.
Why does the tyrant dance,
In velvet shoes of grace?
Oh, listen, my darling,
Oh, listen.
Oh, listen, my darling,
Oh, listen.

Kashmiri apples' blush,
Spills from your cheek's rush.
Even the monsoon shy,
Before your curled tresses' hush.
My heart is drowned by,
The cord of your kohl's brush.
Eyes, a thorn's sharp sting,
Body, light as a flower's wing.
Our life will you take,
A gesture from your veil's swing.
Oh, Beloved, my life's breath,
Oh, Beloved.
Oh, Beloved, my life's breath,
Oh, Beloved.

Wearing silk's soft embrace,
My heart, you do displace.
Why does the tyrant dance,
In velvet shoes of grace?
Oh, listen, my darling,
Oh, listen.
Oh, listen, my darling,
Oh, listen.

Breaking free of chains,
I came to your arms, my gains.
See, fair one, do not waver,
On love's long, winding lanes.
A lifetime we are bound,
This is no fleeting game.
Eyes, a thorn's sharp sting,
Body, light as a flower's wing.
Our life will you take,
A gesture from your veil's swing.
Oh, Beloved, my life's breath,
Oh, Beloved.
Oh, Beloved, my life's breath,
Oh, Beloved.
