uski zulfain khuli to laga yun mujhe
ghata chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye
chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye
ghata chaaye to dil ki gali main bichhe
tere saaye saaye saaye saaye
saaye saaye saaye saaye

phir hua kya phir hua yun
kaun jane kaun samjhe
ek jhonka chhu ke guzra
phool khil ke aap jhoome
panchi chehke to chupke se
dil ne kaha koi aaye aaye aaye aaye
aaye aaye aaye aaye
uski zulfain khuli to laga yun mujhe
ghata chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye
chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye

yeh kahani nayi hai purani bhi hai
kuch anokhi bhi hai aur suhani bhi hai
surmayi shaam hai aur deewani bhi hai
baat kehni bhi hai aur chhupani bhi hai
aaj baadal bhi mujhse
koi dastaan kehne aaye aaye
aaye aaye aaye aaye
uski zulfain khuli to laga yun mujhe
ghata chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye
chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye

khushbuo se saji shaam aane lagi
geet mujhko naye phir sikhane lagi
masti har shaye pe ab to hai chhaane lagi
dil ki kashti bhi ab to thikane lagi
mujhse kehti hai khushboo mere dil main woh
rehne aaye aaye aaye aaye
aaye aaye aaye aaye
uski zulfain khuli to laga yun mujhe
ghata chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye
chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye

phir hua kya phir hua yun
kaun jane kaun samjhe
ek jhoonka chhokay guzra
phool khil ke aap jhoome
panchi chehke to chupke
se dil ne kaha koi aaye aaye aaye aaye
aaye aaye aaye aaye
uski zulfain khuli to laga yun mujhe
ghata chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye
chaaye chaaye chaaye chaaye

Her tresses unbound, and it seemed to me then,
Shadows gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered,
Gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered.
As shadows fell, in the heart's hidden lane,
Lay your shadows, shadows, shadows, shadows,
Shadows, shadows, shadows, shadows.

Then what happened? What transpired?
Who knows the depths, who understands?
A breeze brushed past, a fleeting fire,
And blooms danced, held by unseen hands.
As birdsong swelled, a whisper low,
The heart proclaimed, "She'll come, she'll come,"
She'll come, she'll come, she'll come, she'll come.
Her tresses unbound, and it seemed to me then,
Shadows gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered,
Gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered.

A tale both new and ancient too,
A story strange, yet sweet and true,
An evening's haze, a lover's view,
A whispered truth, a hidden clue.
The clouds descend, and seek to share,
A secret song, they long to tell,
To tell, to tell, to tell, to tell.
Her tresses unbound, and it seemed to me then,
Shadows gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered,
Gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered.

With fragrance dressed, the evening nears,
New songs it whispers in my ears,
A joyous madness now appears,
And finds its home, dispelling fears.
The scent now tells me in my heart,
"She'll stay, she'll stay," forever there,
Forever there, forever there, forever there.
Her tresses unbound, and it seemed to me then,
Shadows gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered,
Gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered.

Then what happened? What transpired?
Who knows the depths, who understands?
A breeze brushed past, a fleeting fire,
And blooms danced, held by unseen hands.
As birdsong swelled, a whisper low,
The heart proclaimed, "She'll come, she'll come,"
She'll come, she'll come, she'll come, she'll come.
Her tresses unbound, and it seemed to me then,
Shadows gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered,
Gathered, gathered, gathered, gathered.
