hansataa huaa nuraani cheharaa
kaali zulfe rag sunaharaa
teri javaani taubaa re taubaa re
dilarubaa dilarubaa dilarubaa dilarubaa
hansataa huaa nuraani cheharaa

pahale teri aankho ne lut liyaa dur se pahale teri
pahale teri aankho ne lut liyaa dur se
phir ye sitam tan tan ke dekhanaa gurur se
o divaane o divaane tu kyaa jaane tu kyaa jaane
dil ki beqaraariyaan hai kyaa
hansataa huaa nuraani cheharaa

ji bhar ke tadapaale ji bhar ke pyaar kar ji bhar ke
ji bhar ke tadapaale ji bhar ke pyaar kar
sab kuchh gavaaraa hai thodaa saa pyaar kar
tu hi dil me tu hi dil me
dil mushkil me dil mushkil me
ab na dil ki mushkile badhaa
hansataa huaa nuraani cheharaa

A laughing face, a radiant gleam,
Dark tresses, a sunlit dream.
Your youth, a whispered, breathless plea,
Lover mine, oh, lover, be
A laughing face, a radiant gleam.

First, your eyes, from afar, did steal,
Then this cruelty, how I feel!
You look with pride, a distant stare,
Oh, madman, oh, unaware,
The heart's unrest, its hidden zeal.
A laughing face, a radiant gleam.

Torment me fully, love me too,
Torment me fully, through and through,
All I would bear, this much I crave,
A little love, my soul to save.
Within my heart, my world with you,
Now do not increase, my heart's rue.
A laughing face, a radiant gleam.
