kaise bataaye, kaise jataaye, subah tak tujhme jina chahe
bhige labo ki gili hansi ko, pine ka mausam hai pina chahe
ik baat kahu kya ijazat hai, tere ishq ki mujhko aadat hai
ik baat kahu kya ijazat hai, tere ishq ki mujhko aadat hai
o aadat hai, aadat hai o aadat hai

ehsaas tere aur mere to ik duje se jud rahe
ik teri talab mujhe aisi lagi, mere hosh bhi udne lage
mujhe milta sukun teri baaho me, jannat jaisi ek raahat hai
ik baat kahu kya ijazat hai, tere ishq ki mujhko aadat hai
ik baat kahu kya ijazat hai, tere ishq ki mujhko aadat hai
o aadat hai, aadat hai o aadat hai

kyun sabse juda, kyun sabse alag andaaz tere lagte
besaakhta hum saaye se tere, har shaam lipatate hain
har waqt mera qurbat me teri, jab guzre to ibadat hai
ik baat kahu kya ijazat hai, tere ishq ki mujhko aadat hai
ik baat kahu kya ijazat hai, tere ishq ki mujhko aadat hai
o aadat hai, aadat hai o teri aadat hai

How to tell, how to show, 'til dawn, in you, I yearn to dwell,
The damp laughter on your soaked lips, a season to drink, I'd fell.
May I speak, do I have leave, to confess, your love, a habit I believe,
May I speak, do I have leave, to confess, your love, a habit I receive,
Oh, a habit I receive, a habit I receive, oh, a habit I believe.

Your feelings and mine, entwined as one,
A craving for you, so strong, my senses undone,
In your arms, I find solace deep, a paradise, a relief I keep,
May I speak, do I have leave, to confess, your love, a habit I believe,
May I speak, do I have leave, to confess, your love, a habit I receive,
Oh, a habit I receive, a habit I receive, oh, a habit I believe.

Why are you distinct, why set apart, your ways, a work of art,
Unbidden, to your shadow, each evening, my heart,
My every moment near you, a sacred offering, a prayer,
May I speak, do I have leave, to confess, your love, a habit I believe,
May I speak, do I have leave, to confess, your love, a habit I receive,
Oh, a habit I receive, a habit I receive, oh, a habit I believe.
