tasvir banata hun teri khun-e-jigar se
khun-e-jigar se
dekha hai tujhe mai ne muhabbat ki nazar se
are, muhabbat ki nazar se
tasvir banata hun teri khun-e-jigar se
khun-e-jigar se

jitane bhi mile rag vo sabhi bhar diye tujh me
haay, bhar diye tujh me
ik rag-e-wafaa aur hai, laun vo kidhar se
are laun vo kidhar se
tasvir banaataa hun teri khun-e-jigar se
khun-e-jigar se

saavan teri zulfo se ghataa maang ke laayaa
haay, maang ke laya
bijali ne churayi hai tadap teri nazar se
are, tadap teri nazar se

mai dil me bithaa kar tujhe rukhsat na karunga
haaye,rukhsat na karunga
mushkil hai teraa laut ke jana mere ghar se
are jaana mere ghar se
tasvir banata hun teri khun-e-jigar se
khun-e-jigar se

I paint your portrait with the blood of my soul,
With the blood of my soul.
I have seen you with eyes of love's true toll,
Oh, with love's true toll.
I paint your portrait with the blood of my soul,
With the blood of my soul.

All the colors I could find, I poured in you,
Ah, poured in you.
One hue of loyalty, where will I pursue?
Oh, where will I pursue?
I paint your portrait with the blood of my soul,
With the blood of my soul.

The monsoon brought clouds, from your tresses' sway,
Ah, from your tresses' sway.
Lightning stole the tremor from your gaze's play,
Oh, from your gaze's play.

I will not send you away, enshrined in my heart,
Ah, enshrined in my heart.
It is hard for you to leave, a brand new start,
Oh, a brand new start.
I paint your portrait with the blood of my soul,
With the blood of my soul.
