kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir
bach jaae yaa mar jaye ye aashiq ki taqadir
kaanta lage nikal jaye magar na nikale nazar ka tir
kaanta lage nikal jaye magar na nikale nazar ka tir

ye duniya jaane na jaane ham ek duje ke divaane
ye duniya jaane na jaane ham ek duje ke divaane
dil me teri yaad sanam aankho me teri tasvir
kaanta lage nikal jaye magar na nikale nazar ka tir
kaanta lage nikal jaye magar na nikale nazar ka tir

phul kahi kahi ye khilata hai pyaar kaha sabako milata hai
phul kahi kahi ye khilata hai pyaar kaha sabako milata hai
kisi kisi ke haath me hoti hai ye prem lakir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir

ye duniya hai bhul bhulaiya thaam le saiya meri baiya
ye duniya hai bhul bhulaiya thaam le saiya meri baiya
ham dono phir bichhad na jaae mai raajha tu hir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir
bach jaae yaa mar jaae ye aashiq ki taqadir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir
kaanta lage nikal jaae magar na nikale nazar ka tir

A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
To live or die, this lover's fate, in love's bewildering maze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze.

The world may know, we are each other's mad devotees,
The world may know, we are each other's mad devotees,
Your memory in my heart, your image in my eyes, eternally,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze.

The flower blooms in scattered places, where true love rarely can be found,
The flower blooms in scattered places, where true love rarely can be found,
In few hands lies the mark of love, a sacred ground,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze.

This world, a labyrinth of shadows, hold my hand, my love, don't let go now,
This world, a labyrinth of shadows, hold my hand, my love, don't let go now,
Lest we be parted, I as Heer, and you as Ranjha, somehow,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
To live or die, this lover's fate, in love's bewildering maze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze,
A thorn may pierce, and then depart, but not the arrow of the gaze.
