dal bhi de julfo ki chaw
jalima dhup chadi jaye
lo na sanam julfo ka nam
bat me hi bat badhi jaye
dal bhi de julfo ki chaw
jalima dhup chadi jaye
lo na sanam julfo ka nam
bat me hi bat badhi jaye

kahe tera jalta dil hai bechara
aata nahi aachal hath tumhara
ye rangin ghata pake hawa ud si jaye
ki lo na sanam julfo ka nam
bat me hi bat badhi jaye
dal bhi de julfo ki chaw
jalima dhup chadi jaye

ye kya hua uljhi chal tumhari
dekho na ji lat bhi bikhri hamari
na tu jaye bikhar hamse najar ladti jaye
dal bhi de palko ki chaw
jalima dhup chadi jaye
ki lo na sanam julfo ka nam
bat me hi bat badhi jaye

duniya kahe sajna pyar bura hai
yahi na ho to ye duniya bhi kya hai
ye mai dekh rahi chah teri badhti jaye
ke lo na sanam julfo ka nam
bat me hi bat badhi jaye
dal bhi de julfo ki chaw
jalima dhup chadi jaye
lo na sanam julfo ka nam
bat me hi bat badhi jaye

Cast the shadow of your tresses, love,
For cruel sun climbs too high above.
Whisper the name of your dark hair,
As words bloom into worlds, beyond compare.
Cast the shadow of your tresses, love,
For cruel sun climbs too high above.
Whisper the name of your dark hair,
As words bloom into worlds, beyond compare.

Your burning heart, it cries in vain,
Your hand, my veil, it cannot gain.
This painted cloud, by wind is blown,
Whisper the name of your dark hair alone,
As words bloom into worlds, beyond compare.
Cast the shadow of your tresses, love,
For cruel sun climbs too high above.

Why this confusion in your stride?
See, my locks, they scatter wide.
Do not leave, our glances meet and cling,
Cast the shadow of your tresses, bring,
For cruel sun climbs too high above.
Whisper the name of your dark hair,
As words bloom into worlds, beyond compare.

The world proclaims that love is ill,
But what is life if love we kill?
I see your longing, ever growing,
Whisper the name of your dark hair, knowing,
As words bloom into worlds, beyond compare.
Cast the shadow of your tresses, love,
For cruel sun climbs too high above.
Whisper the name of your dark hair,
As words bloom into worlds, beyond compare.
