rishtedariyan chhod jaayein ishqedarriyaan sang jaayein
dildaariyaan dhal jaayein ishqedarriyaan rang jaayein
mattha bhi mitthi bhi laage khatta bhi meethi bhi laage

thodi si teekhi bhi ishqdaari kacchi bhi pakki bhi laage
jhooti bhi sacchi bhi laage thodi si acchi bhi ishqdaari
ishqaa ishqaa ishqaa ishqaa

din raat ki baahon mein kho jaayein
dil jinse mile apne ho jaayein
subah ki bholi bhi laage shaam ki bhaali bhi laage
thodi si bhooli bhi ishqdaari kacchi bhi pakki bhi laage
jhooti bhi sacchi bhi laage thodi si acchi bhi ishqdaari
ishqaa ishqaa ishqaa ishqaa

aa thaame haathon ko badh jaayein
aa khud apni duniya bann jaayein
chhat na chhajja na chaahe lajj na lajja na chaahe

thodi si bacchi bhi ishqdaari rishtedariyan chhod jaayein
ishqedarriyaan sang jaayein dildaariyaan dhal jaayein
ishqdariyan rang jaayein ishqaa ishqaa ishqaa ishqaa

Let kin dissolve, let loves endure,
Let hearts wane, let loves imbue.
Whey tastes of sweetness, sourness too,
A tang of spice, a love so true.

Unripe, then ripe, a shifting guise,
Falsehood and truth within its eyes,
A touch of good, this love we claim,
Ishka, Ishka, whispered flame.

Let hearts be lost in night's embrace,
Let kindred souls find their own space.
Morn's innocence, the evening's grace,
A touch of forgetting in this place.

Unripe, then ripe, a shifting guise,
Falsehood and truth within its eyes,
A touch of good, this love we claim,
Ishka, Ishka, whispered flame.

Come, grasp our hands, let us ascend,
Come, forge a world that knows no end.
No roof, no ledge, we do not crave,
No shame, no fear, our souls to save.
A touch of child, this love we hold.
Let kin dissolve, let loves unfold,
Let hearts wane, let loves imbue,
Ishka, Ishka, forever true.
