nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya
nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya
pili pili dhariya
nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya
dekh rahi rah tera ankhiya bichariya
aaja more balma aaja aaja more balma
nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya

samne jo hote
samne jo hote to mai tan man varti
samne jo hote to mai tan man varti
kaali kaali rato me bhi tumhi ko pukarti
kaali kaali rato me bhi tumhi ko pukarti
haye tujhi ko pukarti nile se dupatte pe
nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya
aaja more balma aaja aaja more balma
nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya

dil me hai yaad teri hath me gilas hai
dil me hai yaad teri hath me gilas hai
aaja more balma ke jiya hai udas re
aaja more balma ke jiya hai udas re
haye jiya hai udas re nile se dupatte pe
nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya
dekh rahi rah tera ankhiya bichariya
aaja more balma aaja aaja more balma
nile se dupatte pe hai pili pili dhariya

Upon a sapphire shawl, streaks of gold reside,
Upon a sapphire shawl, golden streaks confide,
Golden streaks confide.
Upon a sapphire shawl, streaks of gold preside,
My weeping eyes, your coming they abide.
Come, my love, oh come, oh come, my love, beside,
Upon a sapphire shawl, streaks of gold reside.

If you were here before me, I'd give my all,
If you were here before me, I'd give my thrall,
In darkest nights, on you my spirit calls,
In darkest nights, on you my spirit calls,
Alas, for you it calls, upon the shawl of blue,
Upon a sapphire shawl, streaks of gold imbue.
Come, my love, oh come, oh come, my love, anew,
Upon a sapphire shawl, streaks of gold accrue.

Your memory within, a glass held in my hand,
Your memory within, a glass held in my hand,
Come, my love, my heart in sorrow does expand,
Come, my love, my heart in sorrow does expand,
Alas, my heart expands, upon the shawl of blue,
Upon a sapphire shawl, streaks of gold renew.
My weeping eyes, your coming they pursue,
Come, my love, oh come, oh come, my love, and view,
Upon a sapphire shawl, streaks of gold accrue.
