ye nayan dare dare, ye jaam bhare bhare
jara peene do
kal ki kisko khabar, ek raat hoke nidar
mujhe jeene do

raat hasin ye chand hasin
par sabse hasin mere dilbar
raat hasin ye chand hasin
par sabse hasin mere dilbar
aur tujhse hasin, aur tujhse hasin tera pyar
tu jane na
ye nayan dare dare

pyar me hain jivan ki khushi
deti hain khushi kayi gham bhi
pyar me hain jivan ki khushi
deti hain khushi kayi gham bhi
main maan bhi lu, main maan bhi lu kabhi haar
tu mane na
ye nayan dare dare, ye jaam bhare bhare
jara peene do
kal ki kisko khabar, ek raat hoke nidar
mujhe jeene do

These eyes, shadowed deep, these goblets brimmed with light,
Just let me drink.
Who knows tomorrow’s veil, tonight with fearless might,
Let me just live.

The night is lovely, the moon a gentle grace,
But loveliest of all, my heart’s own space.
The night is lovely, the moon a gentle grace,
But loveliest of all, my heart’s own space.
And lovelier than you, and lovelier still, your love’s embrace,
You do not know.
These eyes, shadowed deep.

In love resides the joy of life,
Which gives to joy, a touch of strife.
In love resides the joy of life,
Which gives to joy, a touch of strife.
I may accept, I may accept defeat in every art,
You do not see.
These eyes, shadowed deep, these goblets brimmed with light,
Just let me drink.
Who knows tomorrow’s veil, tonight with fearless might,
Let me just live.
