o hasina julfowali jane jahan
dhundti hai kafir aankhe kiska nishan
o hasina julfowali jane jahan
dhundti hai kafir aankhe kiska nishan
mehfil mehfil ai shama phirti ho
kaha mehfil mehfil ai shama phirti ho kaha
woh anjana dhundti hu woh divana dhundti hu
jalakar jo chhip gaya hai woh parwana dhundti hu

garm hai tej hai yeh nigahe meri
kam aa jayegi sard aahe meri
are tum kisi raah me toh miloge kahi
are ishk hu mai kahi theherta hi nahi
mai bhi hu galiyo ki parchhayi kabhi yaha kabhi vaha
sham hi se kuch ho jata hai mera bhi jadu jawan
ai o hasina julfowali jane jahan
dhundti hai kafir aankhe kiska nishan
mehfil mehfil ae shama phirti ho kaha
mehfil mehfil ae shama phirti ho kaha
woh anjana dhundti hu woh divana dhundti hu
jlakar jo chhip gaya hai woh parwana dhundti hu

ha dil vil pyar vyar yunhi badnam hai
aisi badnamiyo ka vafa nam hai
oh oh oh katl kar ke chale yeh vafa khub hai
hai nadan teri yeh ada khub hai
mai bhi hu galiyo ki parchhayi kbhi yaha kabhi vaha
sham hi se kuchh ho jata hai mera bhi jadu jawan
o hasina julfowali jane jahan
dhundti hai kafir aankhe kiska nishan
o hasina julfowali jane jahan
dhundti hai kafir aankhe kiska nishan
mehfil mehfil ae shama phirti ho kaha
mehfil mehfil ae shama phirti ho kaha
woh anjana dhundti hu woh divana dhundti hu
jalakar jo chhip gaya hai woh parwana dhundti hu

Oh, beauty of tresses, light of the world,
Searching eyes, faithless, for what mark unfurled?
Oh, beauty of tresses, light of the world,
Searching eyes, faithless, for what mark unfurled?
From gathering to gathering, like a flame you roam,
From gathering to gathering, where do you call home?
That unknown, I seek, that madman, I crave,
Burning bright, then vanished, the moth I save.

Warm, fierce, these gazes of mine,
My cold sighs, a purpose to enshrine.
In some path, you'll surely be found,
For love, I am, nowhere to be bound.
A shadow I am, in these streets I reside,
Sometimes here, sometimes there, nowhere to hide.
Since evening's embrace, my magic takes flight,
Oh, beauty of tresses, shining so bright!
Searching eyes, faithless, for what mark unfurled?
From gathering to gathering, in this world.
That unknown, I seek, that madman, I crave,
Burning bright, then vanished, the moth I save.

Ah, heart, love, these are just what they claim,
Such infamy, loyalty's very name.
Oh, oh, oh, the killing touch of this vow,
Foolish, your ways, and lovely somehow.
A shadow I am, in these streets I reside,
Sometimes here, sometimes there, nowhere to hide.
Since evening's embrace, my magic takes flight,
Oh, beauty of tresses, shining so bright!
Searching eyes, faithless, for what mark unfurled?
Oh, beauty of tresses, light of the world,
Searching eyes, faithless, for what mark unfurled?
From gathering to gathering, in this world.
That unknown, I seek, that madman, I crave,
Burning bright, then vanished, the moth I save.
