gori ke naino me nindiya bhari, aa ja ri sapno ki nilam pari
gori ke naino me nindiya bhari, aa ja ri sapno ki nilam pari
are o mere jakhamo ki fitkari, aa bhi ja kyo der itni kari

o nilam pari ruth jaungi mai, kiya toh naa aaungi mai
khamosh rahne me hai behtari
aati hu, aati hu, dam lo ghadi, aa bhi ja kyo der itni kari
gori ke naino me nindiya bhari, aa ja ri sapno ki nilam pari

too hur hai aur mai langur, too hur hai aur mai langur hu
ulfat ke hatho se majabur hu
gussa naa kar, naa kar, gussa naa kar
o meri besuri, o meri besuri, aa bhi ja kyo der itni kari
aati hu, aa ti hu, dam lo ghadi, aa bhi ja kyo der itani kari
gori ke naino me nindiya bhari, aaja ri sapno ki nilam pari

In the fair one's eyes, slumber deep,
Come, sapphire fairy of dreams, to keep.
In the fair one's eyes, slumber deep,
Come, sapphire fairy of dreams, to leap.
Oh, my wound's balm, my healing stone,
Why linger so, why tarry alone?

Oh, sapphire fairy, I'll turn away,
If you come not, I'll choose to stay.
Silence holds a truer grace.
I am coming, I am coming, hold your breath,
Why linger so, why invite death?
In the fair one's eyes, slumber deep,
Come, sapphire fairy of dreams, to keep.

You are a houri, I a baboon's plight,
You are a houri, bathed in celestial light.
By love's own hands, I'm bound and chained,
Don't be angry, do not be pained.
Oh, my discordant song, my off-key tune,
Why linger so, beneath the moon?
I am coming, I am coming, hold your breath,
Why linger so, why court death?
In the fair one's eyes, slumber deep,
Come, sapphire fairy of dreams, to keep.
