bhala ishq me kaisi barbadaiya hai
bhala ishq me kaisi barbadaiya hai
mohabbat ke gulshan me aakar to dekho

baharo ke piche hi viraniya hai

koshish na karna
nigahe milane ki koshish na karna

sitare bhi badle jamana bhi badla
sitare bhi badle jamana bhi badla
mohabbat me dastur hargis na badla

yaha tak ke ulfat ki chaukhat ke aakar
yaha tak ke ulfat ki chaukhat ke aakar
sikander ne bhi apna dam tod dala
bade pyaarer katil hai ye husn wale
inhe aajmane ki koshish na karna

nigahe milane ki koshish na karna

O heart, beware the beauty's snare,
O heart, beware, and heed my prayer.
Do not attempt to meet their gaze,
Do not succumb to blinding haze.
For youth, a treasure, richly spun,
Do not squander what is won.
Do not attempt to meet their gaze.

Ask Yusuf of Zulekha's plight,
Ask Yusuf, bathed in love's harsh light.
Know the ruin, love can bring,
Know the sorrow that it stings.
Enter the garden, love's domain,
Where desolation walks in rain.
Entangled in youth's subtle art,
Do not conceal the broken heart.
Do not attempt to meet their gaze.

Stars have shifted, ages turn,
But love's decree will always burn.
To love's threshold, come and see,
Even Alexander bowed his knee.
These are killers, sweet and fair,
Do not tempt the deadly snare.
Do not attempt to meet their gaze.
