o nargis pyare o nargis pyare
o nargis pyare aaj ki raina
aaj ki raina more naina
ke ujiyare o o nargis pyare
dekh nahi re dekh nahi re
nain tuhare nain tuhare
ho jaye piya hamare
ho jaye piya hamare
pyare de de nain ujiyare
o nargis pyare

aasha ke bhare sarowar mein
aasha ke bhare sarowar mein
kyo kaval mera ud jaye
kyo kaval mera ud jaye
nadi ke tat par khadi jawani
nadi ke tat par khadi jawani
pyasi kyo rah jaye
haye pyasi kyo rah jaye
naina mein ho naina mein
naina mein kab tak tadpenge
mere sapne kaware
haye mere sapne kaware
pyare de de nain udhare
o nargis pyare

O, Narcissus, beloved, O Narcissus, dear,
O Narcissus, beloved, of this very night,
This very night, within my eyes,
A brilliance blooms, O Narcissus, dear.

Behold, do not look, do not look,
At your own eyes, your own bright eyes,
That I might become your beloved,
That I might become your beloved,
Beloved, grant the light of your eyes to me,
O Narcissus, dear.

In the lake of hope, overflowing,
In the lake of hope, overflowing,
Why does my lotus rise to flight?
Why does my lotus rise to flight?
On the riverbank, youth now stands,
On the riverbank, youth now stands,
Why should she remain so thirsty?
Alas, why should she remain so thirsty?
Within my eyes, within my eyes,
Within my eyes, how long will they yearn?
My unwed dreams,
Alas, my unwed dreams,
Beloved, grant the loan of your eyes to me,
O Narcissus, dear.
