sau bar banakar malik ne sau bar mitaya hoga
sau bar banakar malik ne sau bar mitaya hoga
ye husn mujjasim tab tera is rang pe aaya hoga
sau bar banakar malik ne sau bar mitaya hoga

kayi lal tarashe honge tab honth banaye honge
kayi lal tarashe honge tab honth banaye honge
danto ki jagah pe moti chun chun ke lagaye honge
zulfe kaali karne ko badli ko jalaya hoga
ye husn mujjasim tab tera is rang pe aaya hoga
sau bar banakar malik ne sau bar mitaya hoga

sagar ke sunahre seepi palko pe sajaye honge
sagar ke sunahre seepi palko pe sajaye honge
do neelkamal neelam si ankho me khilaye honge
ango me chamak dene ko chanda ko galaya hoga
ye husn mujjasim tab tera is rang pe aaya hoga
sau bar banakar malik ne sau bar mitaya hoga

A hundred times the Maker fashioned, a hundred times erased,
A hundred times the Maker fashioned, a hundred times erased,
To reach this form of beauty, this hue so divinely chased,
A hundred times the Maker fashioned, a hundred times erased.

Rubies, many a one, He carved to shape your lips,
Rubies, many a one, He carved to shape your lips,
Pearls, He chose and placed, where your teeth now slip,
To darken your tresses, a storm cloud He did strip,
To reach this form of beauty, this hue so divinely chased,
A hundred times the Maker fashioned, a hundred times erased.

Golden clamshells of the ocean, upon your lashes He did place,
Golden clamshells of the ocean, upon your lashes He did place,
Two sapphire lotuses, in your eyes did He embrace,
To give your form its luster, the moon He did debase,
To reach this form of beauty, this hue so divinely chased,
A hundred times the Maker fashioned, a hundred times erased.
