salonaa saa sajan hai aur mai hun
jiyaa me ik agan hai aur mai hun

tumhaare rup ki chhaayaa me saajan
badi thandi jalan hai aur mai hun

churaaye chain raato ko jagaaye
piyaa kaa ye chalan hai aur mai hun

piyaa ke saamane ghunghat uthaa de
badi chachal pawan hai aur mai hun

rachegi jab mere haatho me mehadi
usi din ki lagan hai aur mai hun

My beloved, a vision, and I, a whisper,
A fire within my heart, and I, a sister.
In the shade of your form, dear one, a shade,
A cooling burn, a secret, and I, a vista.

He steals my peace, keeps the night awake,
My love's way, a path, and I, the breaker.
Before my love, I lift my veil so light,
A playful breeze, a sigh, and I, the shaker.
When henna blooms on my hands, a promise kept,
That day's longing, a dream, and I, the maker.
