hay tabssum tera hay tabssum tera
dhup khil gyi rat mai ya bijli giri barsat mai
hay tabssum tera

palkon ki chilman uthana dheere se ye muskurana
palko ki chilman uthana lab jo hile julfon tale chhaya gulavi andhera
hay tabssum tera
dhup khil gyi rat mai ya bijli giri barsat mai
hay tabssum tera

roko na apni hanshi ko jeene do balla kisi
roko na apni hanshi ko, teri hanshi ruk jo gayi
ruk jayega saans mera
hay tabssum tera
dhup khil gyi rat mai ya bijli giri barsat mai
hay tabssum tera

Your smile, a sunrise in the night,
Or lightning's kiss on rain-soaked ground, so bright,
Your smile, a light.

Lifting the veil of your lashes,
A gentle smile, that softly flashes,
Lifting the veil, a whisper low,
Beneath the tresses, shadows grow,
A blush of dawn, a shadowed plea,
Your smile, embracing me.
A sunrise in the night,
Or lightning's kiss, a vivid sight,
Your smile, a light.

Do not contain your laughter's grace,
Let someone live, find their place,
Do not restrain, your joyous sound,
If laughter ceases, life unbound,
My breath will still, will softly cease,
Your smile, brings inner peace.
A sunrise in the night,
Or lightning's kiss, a vibrant light,
Your smile, so bright, your smile.
