chehare se zara anchal jab apane sarakaya
duniya ye pukar uthi lo chand nikal aya
chehare se zara

mana ke vo hira ho mushkil se jo hath ae
itana bhi na tadapao ke jan nikal jae
chhodo ji na na ye jhagade na na
chhodo ji ab ye jhagade ek bar muskara do
taqadir hai kya apani maine jo tumhe paya
duniya ye pukar

vaise to mujhe tum par pura hi bharosa hai
par kaise bhula dun mai ankho ne jo dekha hai
chhedoge tauba dil todoge tauba
chhedoge dil todoge ek bar muskara do
bas itani shiqayat par kitana mujhe tadapaya
duniya ye pukar
chehare se zara anchal jab apane sarakaya
duniya ye pukar uthi lo chand nikal aya
chehare se zara

When you unveiled, a breath of silk,
From the veil that draped your face,
The world then cried, with a joyous gasp,
"Behold, the moon, in its grace!"
A glimpse of light.

Though precious as a diamond, found with toil,
And hard to hold within one's keep,
Do not torment, lest life unravel,
And soul itself, should weep.
Oh, end this strife.

Forget these battles, these petty wars,
Embrace a smile and let it bloom,
What is fate but the day I found you?
The world then cried, dispelling gloom.
A glimpse of light.

I trust you, yes, with all my heart,
But how can I forget the sight,
My eyes have witnessed, clear and sharp?
You'll wound my heart, with all your might.
End this game.

You'll break my heart, oh, do not tease,
Embrace a smile, a gentle art,
For such a trifling accusation,
Why so much pain within your heart?
The world then cried.

When you unveiled, a breath of silk,
From the veil that draped your face,
The world then cried, with a joyous gasp,
"Behold, the moon, in its grace!"
A glimpse of light.
