ho chhuna ji mohe sambhal ke
o saiya kaau re o saiya kaau re
chhuna ji mohe sambhal ke
o saiya kaau re o saiya kaau re
ha ye sama aur ye mausam hai
josh-e-ulfat hai ho main to betab hu
aur aapko bhi fursat hai
ha phir bhi majbur hu anjam se
dar besak hai ha is jawani se
husn apna bachane ke liye
aayi hu ghunghat nikal ke
o saiya kaau re o saiya o saiya kaau re
chhuna ji mohe sambhal ke
o saiya kaau re o saiya o saiya kaau re

ha aap kahte hai humesha
mujhe dil ki mallika
ha kab badal jaye najar
kya hai bharosa kal ka
ha yahi hai fikar
jo in aankho se aansu dhalka
ishq me aansu hansate hai
rulane ke liye
o aashiq hai mere kamal ke
o saiya kaau re o saiya o saiya kaau re
chhuna ji mohe sambhal ke
o saiya kaau re o saiya o saiya kaau re

Touch me, oh, with gentle hand,
My love, my darling, understand.
Touch me, oh, with gentle hand,
My love, my darling, understand.

This moment breathes, this season sighs,
A fervent tide within me flies.
I yearn, I burn, my spirit keen,
And do you too, feel what has been?

Yet bound I am by fate's decree,
Though fear, a shadow, follows me.
This youth, a treasure, I must keep,
Veiled, I come, my secrets deep.
Oh, darling, understand.
Touch me, oh, with gentle hand.
My love, my darling, understand.

You call me queen of heart's desire,
Yet fickle fate can set aflame the fire.
Tomorrow's glance, a shifting sand,
This fear, the tears I can't command.

In love, tears laugh, then weep anew,
A paradoxical embrace, it's true.
My lover, with a wondrous art,
Oh, darling, understand.
Touch me, oh, with gentle hand.
My love, my darling, understand.
