mere matwaare naino me
prem ki jhalak aa hi gayi
bin jaane main unki hui

aai na aaye wo hamari nagariya
aai na aaye wo hamari nagariya
main to baavariya hui
bin jaane main unki bhyi

man to kahe chal re desh piya ke
o birahan matwaari
nain kahe anjaan dagar hain
bole umang mohe dar naahi
pag bole kaanto se panth bhara hai
pag bole kaanto se panth bhara hai
kya karu hay dyi
bin jaane main unki bhyi
mere matwaare naino me
prem ki jhalak aa hi gayi
bin jaane main unki hui

In my wild eyes,
Love's shimmer bloomed,
Though unknown, I became theirs.

Whether they come to my city or not,
Whether they come to my city or not,
I am mad with longing,
Though unknown, I became theirs.

My heart says, "Go to your beloved's land,"
Oh, lovelorn, intoxicated soul,
My eyes say, "The path is unknown,"
Yet desire whispers, "Fear not,"
My feet say, "The path is thorny,"
My feet say, "The path is thorny,"
What can I do, alas?
Though unknown, I became theirs.
In my wild eyes,
Love's shimmer bloomed,
Though unknown, I became theirs.
