zara sikh lo ankhiya sharmana chup ja na kabhi muskana
desh piya ke jana o mohe desh piya ke jana
zara sikh lo ankhiya sharmana chup ja na kabhi muskana
desh piya ke jana o mohe desh piya ke jana

jab sajan pas bulaye dil dhadke kadam ruk jaye
jab sajan pas bulaye dil dhadke kadam ruk jaye
wo badhke tham le aachal or baiya pakad bithlaye
sharmau uthna chahu sujhe na koi bahana
o mohe desh piya ke jana zara sikh lo ankhiya sharmana
chup ja na kabhi muskana desh piya ke jana
o mohe desh piya ke jana

jab aaye milan ki rate or do dil ek ho jaye
jab aaye milan ki rate or do dil ek ho jaye
naino me naina dale ek sapne me kho jaye
naino me naina dale ek sapne me kho jaye
more kangana khanak na jana
tute na sawpan suhana o mohe desh piya ke jana
zara sikh lo ankhiya sharmana chup ja na kabhi muskana
desh piya ke jana o mohe desh piya ke jana

Learn now, dear eyes, to blush, to hide,
Never to flee a smile's sweet tide.
To the land of my Beloved, I must go,
To the land of my Beloved, I must flow.

When my Lover calls me near,
My heart beats, my steps hold fear.
When my Lover calls me near,
My heart beats, my steps hold fear.
He reaches, my veil to gently seize,
And pulls me down with loving ease.
I blush, I want to rise, to flee,
Finding no excuse for what will be.
Oh, to the land of my Beloved, I must go,
Learn now, dear eyes, to blush, to know
Never to flee a smile's soft grace,
To the land of my Beloved, I embrace.
Oh, to the land of my Beloved, I must flow.

When nights of union gently gleam,
And two hearts merge, a vibrant dream.
When nights of union gently gleam,
And two hearts merge, a vibrant dream.
Eyes meet eyes, in silent art,
Lost within a single heart.
My bangles, hush, let not your sound,
Shatter the dream we have found.
Oh, to the land of my Beloved, I must go,
Learn now, dear eyes, to blush, to know
Never to flee a smile's sweet art,
To the land of my Beloved, I impart.
Oh, to the land of my Beloved, I must flow.
