jawaab aataa hai jab dilbar kaa
to dil kho hi jaataa hai
mohabbat wo nashaa hai
bepiye jo ho hi jaataa hai

ye kaisi khushi hai ye kaisaa nashaa hai
mujhe kyaa huaa hai, mujhe kyaa huaa hai
ye kaisi khushi hai ye kaisaa nashaa hai
mujhe kyaa huaa hai, mujhe kyaa huaa hai

kadam dolte hai nazar jhumti hai
kadam dolte hai nazar jhumti hai
tassavur me jaise zami ghumti hai
tassavur me jaise zami ghumti hai
khyaalo me koi chalaa aa rahaa hai
mujhe kyaa huaa hai, mujhe kyaa huaa hai
ye kaisi khushi hai ye kaisaa nashaa hai
mujhe kyaa huaa hai mujhe kyaa huaa hai

khabar dilrubaa tere aane ki aayi
mohabbat ki duniya me chhalki surahi
khabar dilrubaa tere aane ki aayi
mohabbat ki duniya me chhalki surahi
meraa dil hawaa me udaa jaa rahaa hai
mujhe kyaa huaa hai, mujhe kyaa huaa hai
ye kaisi khushi hai ye kaisaa nashaa hai
mujhe kyaa huaa hai mujhe kyaa huaa hai

When the beloved's answer arrives,
The heart simply surrenders, it cannot survive.
Love, a potent intoxication,
Consumed without a single libation.

What joy is this, what is this trance?
What has befallen me, what is this dance?
What joy is this, what is this trance?
What has befallen me, what is this dance?

My feet now stumble, my vision swayed,
My feet now stumble, my vision swayed,
As if the earth itself, in dreams, has played.
As if the earth itself, in dreams, has played.
In thought, someone approaches, I feel it so near,
What has befallen me, consumed by fear?
What joy is this, what is this trance?
What has befallen me, what is this dance?

News of the beloved's arrival has flown,
In love's own realm, a goblet is shown.
News of the beloved's arrival has flown,
In love's own realm, a goblet is shown.
My heart aloft, on currents it's grown,
What has befallen me, now alone?
What joy is this, what is this trance?
What has befallen me, what is this dance?
