prem ka granth padahu sajnva prem ka granth padahu
jo akshar mai kabhi na banche unke arath batau sajnva
prem ka granth padahu pehla aksar nyan hamare
samjho sajna inke ishare more naina more naina
o more naina o more naina pehla aksar nyan hamare
samjho sajna inke ishare chitvan kalam kajal syahi se
patar likha maine naam tihare gajra bindiya nathni jhumka
tohe dikhaye rijhahu sajnva prem ka granth padahu

duja aksar yovan mera jiske sajan aanchal ka pehara
duja aksar yovan mera jiske sajan aanchal ka pehara
hole hole dhadka jaye aanchal to piya aanchal thahra
aanchal to mera dor bana lu mai
patang ban jau sajnva prem ka granth padahu

tija aksar mera smarpan nas nas dekha ban gaya darpan
zulfe sawan naina sawan chhin rahe more chaina sawan
bahar sawan bhitar sawan tarsaye sawan man bhawan
ang ang more umadi badli barse to sukh pau
prem ka granth padahu

I shall teach you love's scripture, beloved, teach you love's scripture,
Of letters I've never read, their meanings I shall unfold, unveil, beloved.
Love's scripture I shall teach, the first verse, our eyes,
Understand, beloved, their whispers, my eyes, my eyes,
Oh, my eyes, oh, my eyes, the first verse, our eyes,
Understand, beloved, their whispers, the glance, the pen, the kohl's ink,
A letter I wrote in your name, jasmine garland, bindi, nose ring, earrings,
Show you, entice you, beloved, love's scripture I shall teach.

The second verse, my youth, where, beloved, your embrace is the shield,
The second verse, my youth, where, beloved, your embrace is the shield,
Slowly, it slips away, my veil, oh, my love, your touch is the resting place,
My veil, I'll make it a string,
Become a kite, beloved, love's scripture I shall teach.

The third verse, my entirety, every vein, a mirror,
Tresses, monsoon, eyes, monsoon, stealing my peace, monsoon,
Outside, monsoon, inside, monsoon, the monsoon makes me yearn, the monsoon enchants,
Each limb of mine, a cloudburst gathers, when it rains, I find bliss,
Love's scripture I shall teach.
