aankho me ninde na dil me karar
aankho me ninde na dil me karar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar
kabhi bekhudi to kabhi intzar
kabhi bekhudi to kabhi intzar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar

dard uthe pyas jage yaad sataye
koi sada sham-o-shehar pas bulaye
dard uthe pyas jage yaad sataye
koi sada sham-o-shehar pas bulaye
rat dhale dhup khile aaye sawera
chahto ke aashiya me dil ka basera
bekarari hai jaane kyu sanam
aankhe hai khuli nind me hai ham
har ghadi dil pe hai kaisa ye khumar
aankho me ninde na dil me karar
aankho me ninde na dil me karar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar

mai to tujhe ek pal bhi bhul na paau
jaan-e-wafa pas tere daud ke aau
mai to tujhe ek pal bhi bhul na paau
jaan-e-wafa pas tere daud ke aau
tu jo kahe rasme sabhi tod du sanam
tere liye dono jahan chhod du sanam
raat na kate na kate ye din
kaise kategi umr tere bin
pyar zindagi me hota hai ek baar
aankho me ninde na dil me karar
aankho me ninde na dil me karar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar
kabhi bekhudi to kabhi intzar
kabhi bekhudi to kabhi intzar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar
mohabbat ye kya chij hoti hai yaar

No slumber graces these eyes, nor peace within the heart,
Love, oh love, what sorcery does it impart?
Sometimes oblivion, sometimes a longing deep,
Love, oh love, the secrets it does keep.

Pain arises, thirst awakens, memories ignite,
A voice calls softly, through the day and night.
Pain arises, thirst awakens, memories ignite,
A voice calls softly, through the day and night.
As night descends, the sun begins to gleam,
In love's abode, my heart finds its dream.
Restlessness consumes, my beloved, tell me why,
My eyes are open, yet in sleep I lie.
A strange intoxication holds my soul in thrall,
No slumber graces these eyes, nor peace at all.
No slumber graces these eyes, nor peace at all,
Love, oh love, what sorcery does it enthrall?
Love, oh love, what sorcery does it enthrall?

I cannot forget you, not for a single beat,
My soul's devotion, to your feet I'll meet.
I cannot forget you, not for a single beat,
My soul's devotion, to your feet I'll meet.
If you command, all customs I'll cast away,
For your sweet sake, both worlds I would betray.
Nights won't end, and days they linger long,
How can my life endure, where you don't belong?
Love graces life but once, a fleeting star,
No slumber graces these eyes, nor peace, afar.
No slumber graces these eyes, nor peace, afar,
Love, oh love, what sorcery does it mar?
Love, oh love, what sorcery does it mar?
Sometimes oblivion, sometimes a longing deep,
Sometimes oblivion, a secret it will keep.
Love, oh love, what sorcery does it keep?
Love, oh love, what sorcery does it keep?
