ek bosa hamne maanga, ek bosa hamne maanga
raahe maula waah ji
ek bosa hamne maanga, raahe maula waah ji
fute muh se ye na bole, fute muh se ye na bole
lete jaana shah ji
ek bosa hamne maanga ha
ek bosa hamne maanga

pahle tumne kiya hamse waada
fir badal baithe apana iraada
pahle tumne kiya hamse
pahle tumne kiya hamse waada
waada waada waada
dur se phul humne dikhaaya
tumane sharmake, tumane sharmake chehra chhupaaya
is ada pe na mar jaaye koi, koi
is ada pe na mar jaaye koi, koi
koi jaan se na gujar jaaye koi
koi jaan se na gujar jaaye koi
milte kab hain mere jaise chhaila
chum leti, chuma leti agar hoti laila
chum leti agar hoti laila, laila
chum leti agar hoti laila
o tumse mile tamasha bane, koi mehfil me waah ji
ha ek bosa hamne maanga ha ha
ek bosa hamne maanga

jamaane me jo log hain ishq waale
ha jamaane me jo log hain ishq waale
hain andaaz unke jahaa se niraale
tadap kar hi chaahe gujaari ho raaten
magar sabse kahten nahi dil ki baate
magar sabse kahten nahi dil ki baate
magar sabse kahten nahi dil ki baate
to mehfil me kahiye, to mehfil me kahiye
na mele me kahiye
na mehfil me kahiye, na mele me kahiye
ye parde ki baate akele me kahiye
ye parde ki baate akele me kahiye
samjho jara ishara mera, jo hai milane ki chaah ji
ek bosa ha hamne maanga hai
ek bosa hamne maanga

julf waalo ki ho galiyo ke fere
ha julf waalo ki ho galiyo ke fere ho
lut na jaana o ujaale andhere
ha ishqbaaji to hain kaam apana
ishqbaaji to ho hain kaam apana ho
tum kaha fans gaye yaar mere
ha bachaana ye hoy, chadhati jawaani hoy
yu na hoke hoy, utar jaaye paani hoy
ishq ka khel sasta nahi
ho tum se bachcho ke, bas ka nahi hain
tum se bachcho ke, bas ka nahi hain
tum se bachcho ke, bas ka nahi hain
are do do nazar mili hain, magar nahi kuchh dekha waah ji
ek bosa humne maanga, ek bosa humne maanga
raahe maula waah ji
fute muh se ye na bole, fute muh se ye na bole
lete jaana shah ji
ek bosa ha humne maanga ha
ek bosa humne maanga

A kiss we asked for, a kiss we sought,
Paths of the Beloved, how grandly wrought!
A kiss we asked for, the paths of the Lord,
From lips that falter, unspoken word,
"Take it, O King," they implore.
A kiss we asked for, yes, we implore,
A kiss we asked for.

First, a promise whispered, a vow you did make,
Then, your intention, you did forsake.
First, a promise, a binding you swore,
Promise, promise, and evermore.
A flower we showed from afar,
You blushed, and you hid your face like a star.
On this sweet style, let none expire,
No soul be lost to the funeral pyre.
Where finds one a lover like I?
You'd kiss, you'd kiss if you were Layla nigh,
You'd kiss if you were Layla, Layla.
From you, a spectacle, a gathering's sway,
Yes, a kiss we asked for, this very day.
A kiss we asked for.

In this world, those who in love reside,
Yes, in this world, those in love abide,
Their ways are unique, from every side.
They yearn, through nights they might spend,
But secrets of the heart, they rarely extend.
So in gatherings, speak not aloud,
Nor in the fairground, speak to the crowd,
Not in gatherings, nor the fair's spree,
These veiled words, in solitude, agree.
These veiled words, let secrets be told,
Understand my hint, if reunion you hold.
A kiss, yes, we asked for.

Those with tresses, in alleys they roam,
Yes, those with tresses, where shadows come home,
Lest you be plundered, in light or gloom.
Love's game is our work alone,
Love's game is our work, as is known.
Where did you find this, my friend?
Beware, as youth ascends,
Lest it fade, and the water descends.
Love's play is not a bargain to seize,
For you, children, this is not at ease.
For you, children, this is not at ease.
Though two eyes have met, yet nothing is seen,
A kiss we asked for, a kiss we have been.
Paths of the Beloved, how grandly seen,
From lips that falter, unspoken between,
"Take it, O King," they convene.
A kiss we asked for, yes, we have been.
