o... ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga
ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga, jaise
khilta gulaab, jaise
shayar ka khvab, jaise
ujali kiran, jaise
ban me hiran, jaise
chaandani raat, jaise
narami ki baat, jaise
mandir me ho ek jaltaa diya
o... ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga

o... ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga
ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga, jaise
subah ka rup, jaise
sardi ki dhup, jaise
vinaa ki taan, jaise
rango ki jaan, jaise
balakhaaye bel, jaise
laharo ka khel, jaise
khushbu liye aaye thandi hava
o... ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga

o... ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga
ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga, jaise
nachta mor, jaise
resham ki dor, jaise
pariyo ka raag, jaise
sandal ki aag, jaise
solah shringaar, jaise
ras ki phuhaar, jaise
aahista aahista badhta nasha
ho... ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga
ek ladki ko dekha to aisa laga

Oh... When I saw a girl, it felt like this,
When I saw a girl, it felt like,
A blooming rose, like
A poet's dream, like
A bright ray, like
A deer in the forest, like
A moonlit night, like
A gentle word, like
A lamp burning in a temple,
Oh... When I saw a girl, it felt like this.

Oh... When I saw a girl, it felt like this,
When I saw a girl, it felt like,
The face of morning, like
The warmth of winter sun, like
The melody of the veena, like
The life in colors, like
A climbing vine, like
The play of waves, like
A cool breeze carrying fragrance,
Oh... When I saw a girl, it felt like this.

Oh... When I saw a girl, it felt like this,
When I saw a girl, it felt like,
A dancing peacock, like
A silken thread, like
The song of fairies, like
The fire of sandalwood, like
Sixteen adornments, like
A shower of nectar, like
Slowly, slowly, the intoxication rises,
Oh... When I saw a girl, it felt like this,
When I saw a girl, it felt like this.
