chubh gaye, chubh gaye do naina matware
kya kya howe, nikat ab jaawe, nikat ab jaawe
inko kaun nikare
chubh gaye do nain matware

in nainan ke dware pe pahredaar bana kajra
jo koi nikat gaya, ho inke uspe biti kya kya
raat ki nindiya lut gayi uski, din ka chain gaya
bhar bhar thandi saans kahe kya julm kiyo saajanwa
chubh gaye, chubh gaye do naina matware

raat ek geet bani, pyaar jise gaaye hai
phir usi geet ko
man man me hi dohraaye hai
deke jholi me badhai khub se taare aaye
zindagi dekh ke aankho ko hansi aa jaaye hai
chubh gaye, chubh gaye do naina matware
kya kya howe, nikat ab jaawe, nikat ab jaawe
inko kaun nikare
chubh gaye do nain matware

Pierced, they pierced, those drunken eyes,
What wonders bloom, as nearness sighs,
As nearness falls, where shadows rise,
Who can extract such blinding prize?
Pierced, they pierced, those drunken eyes.

At the gates of those eyes, kohl stands guard,
And woe betide, who ventures hard,
Night's slumber stolen, day's peace marred,
Heaving sighs, a plea to the bard,
"What cruelties, beloved, were declared?"
Pierced, they pierced, those drunken eyes.

The night a song, love softly sings,
Repeating it, where memory clings,
Stars descend, their joy they bring,
Life itself, at these sights, laughs and springs,
Gifts poured forth, on airy wings.
Pierced, they pierced, those drunken eyes,
What wonders bloom, as nearness sighs,
As nearness falls, where shadows rise,
Who can extract such blinding prize?
Pierced, they pierced, those drunken eyes.
