dapran ko dekha, tune jab jab kiya shingar
dapran ko dekha, tune jab jab kiya shingar
phulo ko dekha, tune jab jab aayi bahar
ek badnasib hu mai, ek badnasib hu mai
ek badnasib hu mai mujhe nahi dekha ek bar
dapran ko dekha, tune jab jab kiya shingar

suraj ki pahli kirno ko, dekha tune alsate huye
suraj ki pahli kirno ko, dekha tune alsate huye
rato me taro ko dekha, sapno me kho jate huye
yu kisi na kisi bahane, yu kisi na kisi bahane
tune dekha sab sansar, tune dekha sab sansar
dapran ko dekha, tune jab jab kiya shingar

kajal ki qismat kya kahiye, naino me tune basaya hai
kajal ki qismat kya kahiye, naino me tune basaya hai
aanchal ki qismat kya kahiye, tune ang lagaya hai
hasrat hi rahi mere dil me
hasrat hi rahi mere dil me
banu tere gale ka har, banu tere gale ka har
dapran ko dekha, tune jab jab kiya shingar
phulo ko dekha, tune jab jab aayi bahar
ek badnasib hu mai, ek badnasib hu mai
ek badnasib hu mai mujhe nahi dekha ek bar
dapran ko dekha, tune jab jab kiya shingar

Each time you graced the mirror, preened and made yourself fair,
Each time you graced the mirror, preened and made yourself fair,
Flowers bloomed at your presence, a season beyond compare.
I am but ill-fated, I am but ill-fated,
I am but ill-fated, unseen by your gaze, held nowhere.
Each time you graced the mirror, preened and made yourself fair.

The sun's first light you witnessed, in slumber, soft and low,
The sun's first light you witnessed, in slumber, soft and low,
Stars at night, you observed them, lost in dreams they would go.
By reason or by chance, by reason or by chance,
You beheld the whole world, the whole world you did know.
Each time you graced the mirror, preened and made yourself fair.

What fortune is the kohl, you have nestled in your eyes,
What fortune is the kohl, you have nestled in your eyes,
What fortune is the veil, by your touch it does rise.
Longing remained within me,
Longing remained within me,
To be a garland for you, a prize,
Each time you graced the mirror, preened and made yourself fair,
Flowers bloomed at your presence, a season beyond compare.
I am but ill-fated, I am but ill-fated,
I am but ill-fated, unseen by your gaze, held nowhere.
Each time you graced the mirror, preened and made yourself fair.
