bahane kyu karti ho humpe tum bhi marti ho
bahane kyu karti ho humpe tum bhi marti ho
abhi to naya sath hai aaj hansi to kal bhi hansogi
pyar kisi din karne lagogi thode dino ki bat hai
bahane kyu karti ho

sabse tum zuda sahi husn ke khuda sahi
ada hi ada sahi hum bhi bure to nahi
nazar maikada sahi zulf ek ghata sahi
tum pe sab fida sahi hum bhi bure to nahi

kahan tak tadpaogi rah par aa jaogi
kahan tak tadpaogi rah par aa jaogi
abhi to naya sath hai aaj mili to kal bhi milogi
aah kisi din bharne lagogi thode dino ki bat hai
bahane kyu karti ho

rang ke nikhar par rup ki bahar par
ankohe singar par tumko agar naz hai
game intzar par dile bekarar par
hume apne pyar par tumse bada naz hai
aji ye gussa chhodo abhi se dil na todo
aji ye gussa chhodo abhi se dil na todo
abhi to naya sath hai aankh jhuki to dil bhi jhukega
ab ye milan to hoke rahga thode dino ki bat hai
bahane kyu karti ho humpe tum bhi marti ho
bahane kyu karti ho humpe tum bhi marti ho
abhi to naya sath hai aaj hansi to kal bhi hansogi
pyar kisi din karne lagogi thode dino ki baat hai
bahane kyun karti ho

Why weave these veils, you too, you burn for me?
Why weave these veils, you too, you burn for me?
The dawn is new, you laugh today, tomorrow too you'll smile,
Love will bloom in time, a matter of days is all it is.
Why weave these veils?

You stand apart, a goddess of beauty, it's true,
Your grace, a world itself, it's true, yet I'm not so vile.
Your gaze, a tavern's warmth, your tresses, a gathering storm,
All are yours to command, yet I am not so vile.

How long will you torment, you'll walk this path with me,
How long will you torment, you'll walk this path with me,
The dawn is new, you meet today, tomorrow too you'll meet,
Sighs will escape one day, a matter of days is all it is.
Why weave these veils?

On the gleam of hues, the springtime of your form,
On your unique adornment, your pride finds its throne,
On the ache of waiting, the restless heart's plea,
On my love for you, a greater pride is known.
Oh, cast away this ire, do not break my heart so soon,
Oh, cast away this ire, do not break my heart so soon,
The dawn is new, the eyes fall low, the heart will follow suit,
This union is now bound to be, a matter of days is all it is.
Why weave these veils, you too, you burn for me?
Why weave these veils, you too, you burn for me?
The dawn is new, you laugh today, tomorrow too you'll smile,
Love will bloom in time, a matter of days is all it is.
Why weave these veils?
