jab se dekhi hai jhalak tumhari
ya allah, ya allah

jab se dekhi hai jhalak tumhari
tab se rehti hai dil me kasak tumhari
ya allah, ya allah
jaan lega meri tera ishq
jab se dekhi hai jhalak tumhari

raat din lamha lamha
teri yaado ka sajda
mere dil me hamesha kiya
mere mann ki gehraaiyo me
apni parchaaiyo me
bas tera ishq maine jiya
jaan lega meri tera ishq, ya allah
jab se dekhi hai jhalak tumhari

tumne meri lagan ko, sabr ki anjuman ko
kyu yeh duri ka aalam diya
tham gayi meri aahe, namm huyi yeh nigaahe
jab tera naam maine liya
jaan lega meri tera ishq, ya allah
jab se dekhi hai jhalak tumhari
tab se rehti hai dil me kasak tumhari
ya allah, ya allah

From the moment your light did gleam,
Oh Allah, Allah, a whispered dream,
From the moment your light did gleam,
My heart aches with your radiant beam,
Oh Allah, Allah, a flowing stream.
My soul, your love, it shall convene,
From the moment your light did gleam.

Night and day, moment by moment,
Your memory, a sacred monument.
My heart, forever bowed in praise,
In the depths of my soul's maze,
In your shadows, I find my ways,
Only in your love, I now embrace.
My soul, your love, in holy haze,
From the moment your light did gleam.

You who test my longing, my patient plight,
Why this distance, this endless night?
My sighs have ceased, my vision dimmed,
As your holy name, I have intoned, hymned.
My soul, your love, forever chimed,
From the moment your light did gleam,
My heart aches with your radiant beam,
Oh Allah, Allah, a whispered dream.
