pyar ki pahli mulaakato me
khwaab me milna hai ho raato me
kaun jaagega bhala raato me
hum nahi aayenge in baato me
pyar ki pahli mulaakato me
khwaab me milna hai ho raato me
kaun jaagega bhala raato me
hum nahi aayenge in baato me

mil gya dilbar hume jo kho gaye
ishq ke tum badguma kyu ho gaye
ishq me aashiq deewaane ho gaye
kuch to viraano me jaake kho gaye
aur kuch pahuche hawaalato me
are hum nahi aayenge in baato me

kya kahe hum is aashiq
kya kahe hum is bute befir se
mar gaye kitane najar ke teer se
kaise de hum haath in haatho me
are hum nahi aayenge inn baato me

baandh ke sehra kabhi aana sanam
mujhko doli me bitha laana sanam
hum naa bandhege ye sehra hai kasam
humne unka haal dekha hai sanam
hum gaye hai jinki baaraato me
are hum nahi aayenge in baato me
ho pyar ki pahli mulaakato me
khwaab me milna hai ho raato me
kaun jaagega bhala raato me
hum nahi aayenge in baato me

In love's first dawning, a whispered decree,
To meet in dreams, where the night sets free.
Who then shall wake, when shadows convene?
We'll not be caught in such scenes, unseen.
In love's first dawning, a whispered decree,
To meet in dreams, where the night sets free.
Who then shall wake, when shadows convene?
We'll not be caught in such scenes, unseen.

My love, found, yet lost in the haze,
Why are you clouded in love's maze?
Lovers, entranced, grown wild and astray,
Some vanish, lost in a desolate way.
Others arrive in locked prison, their fate.
We'll not be caught in such schemes, too late.

What to say to these hearts, so frail?
What to say to this spirit that wails?
Died by the arrows of a lover's gaze,
How can we offer ourselves in this maze?
We'll not be caught in such schemes, always.

Bind a desert shroud, and then appear,
In a bridal palanquin, banish all fear.
We'll not bind such a shroud, this vow is clear,
We've witnessed their fates, year after year.
We've walked in their wedding processions' display.
We'll not be caught in such schemes, come what may.
In love's first dawning, a whispered decree,
To meet in dreams, where the night sets free.
Who then shall wake, when shadows convene?
We'll not be caught in such scenes, unseen.
