ye mausam ye hawaye ye rut suhani fir na aayegi
fir na hogi dilwale zindgani fir na ayegi
koi hasrat na rakh dil me
ye duniya char din ki hai ye duniya char din ki hai
jawani mauj dariya hai jawani jo laut ke na aayegi

nigahe mila, nigahe mila or ek jam lele or ek jam lele
ha jawani ke sir ha jawani ke sir koi lizam lele
nigahe mila, nigahe mila nigahe mila, nigahe mila
nigahe mila, nigahe mila nigahe mila, nigahe mila

nigaho ke saaye me palti hai duniya palti hai duniya
hasino ke hamraah chalti hai duniya chalti hai duniya
hasino ke pehlu me aaram le lo hasino ke pehlu me aaram le lo
aaram le lo jara aaram le lo aaram le lo jara aaram le lo
nigahe mila, nigahe mila nigahe mila, nigahe mila

masjid mandir sabhi to na jaye sabhi to na jaye
ye tujh ko mitane kahi kho na jaye kahi kho na jaye
kahi is dali pe koi aaram le lo kahi is dali pe koi aaram le lo
aaram le lo jara aaram le lo aaram le lo jara aaram le lo
nigahe mila, nigahe mila or ek jam lele or ek jam lele
ha jawani ke sir ha jawani ke sir koi lizam lele

These seasons, these breezes, this sweet time, will not return,
This life of the heart, once gone, will never re-burn.
Harbor no longing within your breast,
This world, a fleeting four-day guest.
Youth, a flowing river's crest,
Youth, once flown, finds no rest.

Meet eyes, embrace, and a goblet raise,
On youth's head, let blame graze.
Meet eyes, meet eyes,
Meet eyes, meet eyes.

In the gaze, the world does grow,
With beauty's companions, the world does flow.
In beauty's embrace, find solace deep,
Find solace, find solace, while you sleep.
Meet eyes, meet eyes,
Meet eyes, meet eyes.

Masjids, temples, all will depart,
Lest you fade and lose your heart.
Upon this branch, find rest now,
Find solace, find solace, somehow.
Meet eyes, embrace, and a goblet raise,
On youth's head, let blame graze.
