jab bhi chum leta hu, in hasin aankho ko
sau chirag andhere me, jhilmilane lagte hai
jab bhi chum leta hu, in hasin aankho ko
sau chirag andhere me, jhilmilane lagte hai

phul kya shagufe kya
chand kya sitare kya
sab rakib kadmo par, sar jhukane lagte hai
phul kya shagufe kya
chand kya sitare kya
sab rakib kadmo par, sar jhukane lagte hai
raks karne lagti hai, murte ajanta ki
payale jhanakti hai, gaar gaane lagte hai

phul khilne lagte hai, ujde ujde chaman me
pyasi pyasi dharti par abar chhane lagte hai
phul khilne lagte hai, ujde ujde chaman me

lamhe bhar ko ye duniya
julm chhod deti hai
lamhe bhar ko sab patthar
muskurane lagte hai

ho ho ho aaha aaha aaha hu hu hu

When I kiss those eyes of grace,
A hundred lamps ignite the shadowed space.

What are blooms, or budding trees,
Or moon, or stars in the night's breeze?
All rivals kneel, their pride undone,
Before the glow of her, the one.

The murals of Ajanta start to dance,
Anklets chime, the caves take chance,
And sing again their ancient lore,
A hundred lamps ignite to soar.

Flowers blossom in the barren land,
Clouds gather, watered by her hand,
Quenching thirst upon the earth,
Granting life a second birth.

For a moment, the world forgets its hate,
And stones, once cold, begin to wait,
To smile again, in brief reprieve,
A hundred lamps, the heart believe.

When I kiss those eyes of grace,
A hundred lamps ignite the shadowed space.
