ho pardanshi tum chhupo laakh hamse
ye dil aashna hain tumhe jaanta hain
tumhe jaanta hain, tumhe chaahta hain
tumhare hi daaman panaah chaahta hain

tumhe jhilmilaate sitaaron me dekha
javaani ki mast baharo me dekha
ye dil aashna hain tumhe jaanta hain
tumhe jaanta hain, tumhe chaahta hain
tumhare hi daaman panaah chaahta hain

judaai ki purshoz aaho me dekha
gale milte kaali ghataao me dekha
ye dil aashna hain tumhe jaanta hain
tumhe jaanta hain, tumhe chaahta hain
tumhare hi daaman panaah chaahta hain

bada bemuravvat ye sang dil jaha hain
tu aa mere mehbub rehbar kaha hain
ye dil aashna hain, ye dil aashna hain

Though veils may hide you, countless, from my sight,
This heart, familiar, knows you in the light.
It knows, it loves, a yearning deep inside,
For refuge in your garment, where I hide.

I've seen you in the stars that softly gleam,
In springtime's bloom, a captivating dream.
This heart, familiar, knows you in the light,
It knows, it loves, a yearning deep inside,
For refuge in your garment, where I hide.

In separation's sighs, a fiery pain,
In clouds of black, embracing, in the rain.
This heart, familiar, knows you in the light,
It knows, it loves, a yearning deep inside,
For refuge in your garment, where I hide.

This heartless world, a stone against my soul,
My love, my guide, where is your guiding role?
This heart, familiar, knows, and knows, and knows.
