javani se ab jang hone lagi
ye choli meri tang hone lagi
javani se ab jang hone lagi
ye choli meri tang hone lagi
koi maare aankho se koi maare ishaaro se
han javani se abb jang hone lagi
ye choli meri tang hone lagi
koi maare aankho se koi maare ishaaro se

umr kaisi bhala aayi hai
mastiya kaun si laayi hai
kaisi naadaan hu mai to pareshaan hu
tauba meri karu mai kya

koi dil ko churaata hai koi paise lutata hai
band botal hai ye kyu chume
hosh me naa rahe jhume

dekh to dilruba sochta hai tu kya
sabse badhke nasha mera
ishk me koi hara hai ho ho ho ho
koi kadka kunvaara hai

javaani se ab jang hone lagi
ye choli meri tang hone lagi
javaani se ab jang hone lagi
ye choli meri tang hone lagi
koi maare aankho se koi maare ishaaro se
koi maare aankho se koi maare ishaaro se

The war with youth has now begun,
My bodice tight, the battle won
Or lost, I cannot say.
The war with youth has now begun,
My bodice tight, the battle won
Or lost, I cannot say.
Some strike with eyes, some with a glance,
Ah, the war with youth's relentless dance!
My bodice tight, the battle won
Or lost, I cannot say.
Some strike with eyes, some with a glance.

What age has come, a gilded snare,
What revels rise, beyond compare?
How foolish I, consumed by dread,
A prayer escapes, what path to tread?

Some steal the heart, some spend with glee,
A sealed flask, they yearn to be
Embraced, enraptured, lost to sense,
My love, behold, your dark pretense.
My greater high, this love I claim,
Some in love's fire, meet defeat and shame,
Some still unwed, their spirits burn.

The war with youth has now begun,
My bodice tight, the battle won
Or lost, I cannot say.
The war with youth has now begun,
My bodice tight, the battle won
Or lost, I cannot say.
Some strike with eyes, some with a glance,
Some strike with eyes, some with a glance.
