machal machal ke dil kahe mera
ke aane wale aa bhi ja
magar nahi abhi na aa
ke isme bhi hai ek maja

hawa me ek surur hai sada nashe me chur hai
magar mai bekarar hu ke tu najar se dur hai
najar se dur hai to kya ke isme bhi hai ek maja
abhi na aa abhi na aa ke isme bhi hai ek maja

jamana apne pyar ka fasana hai bahar ka
bhala ho teri yaad ka bura ho intejar ka
magar mai kyu kahu bura ke isme bhi hai ek maja
abhi na aa abhi na aa ke isme bhi hai ek maja

ye teer dil pe kha to lun jigar ko aajma to lun
mai darde intejar ko kaleje se laga to lu
dikha to do na ye ada ke isme bhi hai ek maja
abhi na aa abhi na aa ke isme bhi hai ek maja

My heart, it aches and yearns for you,
To hasten here, to come anew.
But not yet, no, not yet, I plead,
For in this waiting, joy I feed.

The air is thick with sweet delight,
Drunk on a haze, both day and night.
Yet restless, for your face I miss,
Though distant, in that, bliss.
Though distant, in that, joy resides,
Not yet, no, not yet, my heart confides,
For in this waiting, joy abides.

The world, a tale of love's sweet spring,
Your memory, a hopeful thing.
May waiting’s sting be overcome,
But why should I wish harm to come?
For in this longing, joy is found,
Not yet, no, not yet, profound,
For in this waiting, joy is crowned.

Let the arrow pierce my soul,
Let me test the heart's true role.
I embrace this ache, this waiting fire,
To my bosom I desire.
Show me this dance, this hidden grace,
For in this longing, joy I trace,
Not yet, no, not yet, embrace,
For in this waiting, joy I chase.
