ek jalak dikha gayi bijliya gira gayi
pyar banke jindagi me kaun muskura gayi
kaun muskura gayi ek roop ki kiran
chupke chupke chu ke tan thikhe thikhe nainva ka
teer sa chala gayi kaun muskura gayi

kaisi anokhi mulakat thi, kaisi anokhi mulakat thi
aankho me tere koi baat thi, bole bina bhed samjha gayi
aisi ada karamat thi, kya najar se keh gaye
ham khade hi reh gaye, ek hi palak jadu ki jalak
dikha gayi, kaun muskura gayi
ek jalak dikha gayi, bijliya gira gayi
pyar banke jindagi me
kaun muskura gayi, kaun muskura gayi

mukhde pe thi chandni ki chhata, mukhde pe thi chandni ki chhata
balo me thi badlo ki ghata, chanda hajaro chamakne lage
jab laaz ka haay ghunghat hata, aankh thi jhuki jhuki
sans thi ruki ruki
o hasin dilchabi kalpana pe cha gayi
kaun muskura gayi, ek jalak dikha gayi
bijliya gira gayi, pyar banke jindagi me
kaun muskura gayi, kaun muskura gayi

A fleeting glimpse, a lightning strike, she fell,
Love incarnate, in life's expanse, who smiled?
Who smiled, a ray of form divine,
Silently, she touched the flesh, sharp eyes,
Like arrows, flew, who smiled?

What a wondrous meeting, oh, what a wondrous meeting,
In your eyes, a secret lay, unspoken, understood,
Such a wondrous grace, what the gaze did say,
We stood frozen, a moment's spell, a flash of magic,
She showed, who smiled?
A fleeting glimpse, a lightning strike, she fell,
Love incarnate, in life's expanse,
Who smiled, who smiled?

On her face, the moon's soft glow, on her face, the moon's soft glow,
In her hair, the clouds did flow, thousands of moons began to shine,
As the veil of shyness fell, eyes downcast,
Breath held tight,
That beautiful, enchanting image, filled the mind,
Who smiled, a fleeting glimpse, she showed,
A lightning strike, she fell, love incarnate, in life's expanse,
Who smiled, who smiled?
