hamko samajh na lijiye daali gulaab ki
kar denge ham to saaf tabeeyat janaab ki
hamko samajh na lijiye daali gulaab ki
kar denge ham to saaf tabeeyat janaab ki

nazro ke teer aankho me, rakhhiye sambhaal ke
nazro ke teer aankho me, rakhhiye sambhaal ke
nazro ke teer aankho me, rakhhiye sambhaal ke
pachhtaaoge, pachhtaaoge nazar kisi ladki pe daal ke
pachhtaaoge nazar kisi ladki pe daal ke
mehfil nahin hai ye kisi bigde nawaab ki
kar denge ham to saaf tabiyat janaab ki
hamko samajh na leejiye daali gulaab ki
kar denge ham to saaf tabiyat janaab ki

jo aapki samajh mein na aaye, wo raag hu
jo aapki samajh mein na aaye, wo raag hu
bijli hu naachti hui, shola hu aag hu
bijli hu naachti hui, shola hu aag hu
hamse ulajh ke apni hi matti khraab ki
kar denge ham to saaf tabiyat janaab ki
hamko samajh na leejiye daali gulaab ki
kar denge ham to saaf tabiyat janaab ki

Do not mistake me for a rose's gentle stem,
I'll clear your clouded soul, a purifying gem.
Do not mistake me for a rose's gentle stem,
I'll clear your clouded soul, a purifying gem.

Arrows of your gaze, hold them close, be wise,
Arrows of your gaze, hold them close, be wise,
Arrows of your gaze, hold them close, be wise,
You'll rue the day your wandering eyes arise,
You'll rue the day your wandering eyes arise,
This is no court for a decadent lord's surprise,
I'll clear your clouded soul, a purifying gem.
Do not mistake me for a rose's gentle stem,
I'll clear your clouded soul, a purifying gem.

I am the song that your mind cannot seize,
I am the song that your mind cannot seize,
I am dancing lightning, a burning, fiery breeze,
I am dancing lightning, a burning, fiery breeze,
You'll soil your own ground, in a futile tease,
I'll clear your clouded soul, a purifying gem.
Do not mistake me for a rose's gentle stem,
I'll clear your clouded soul, a purifying gem.
