zara aankhiyan la laiye
o yara khushiya mana laiye
zara ankhiya la laiye
o yara khushiya mana laiye

do hi dina di ae zindgi ae
isliye mainu gal di pahiye
maran to pahla tere husan di malayi kha liye
jine ka maja lijiye zara ankhiya la laiye
o yara khushiya mana laiye

na ho ke rut ye kadi na aave
gaali deti chali na jave to kyo na dilbar
machal ke tenu gale laga laiye mastiya laga laiye

zara ankhiyan la laiye
o yara khushiya mana laiye
zara ankhiyan la laiye
o yara khushiya mana laiye

Let's meet eyes, just for a while,
Oh friend, let us celebrate with smiles.
Let's meet eyes, just for a while,
Oh friend, let us celebrate with smiles.

This life, a breath, just two days long,
So embrace me, where we both belong.
Before the final sleep descends,
Let me taste the honey of your love's ends.
Taste the joy of living, let's meet eyes,
Oh friend, let us celebrate with smiles.

This moment, once it fades, returns no more,
Why let it slip, behind a closing door?
Why not, my love, with yearning heart,
Embrace you close, and never part?
Let revelry begin, let the joys unfurl,

Let's meet eyes, just for a while,
Oh friend, let us celebrate with smiles.
Let's meet eyes, just for a while,
Oh friend, let us celebrate with smiles.
