kahe naino me kajra bharo kahe naino me kajra bharo
itne hasin nahi gori jitna guman karo
itne hasin nahi gori jitna guman karo

koi jalta hai jalta rahe koi jalta hai jalta rahe
kajrare naino ka jadu chalta hai chalta rahe
kajrare naino ka jadu chalta hai chalta rahe

jadu nit nit chalta nahi jadu nit nit chalta nahi
chadhta hua suraj kya sham ko dhalta nahi
chadta hua suraj kya sham ko dhalta nahi

gaya suraj chand aaya rat ho ya din hai
rang husn ka hai chaya rat ho ya din hai
rang husn ka hai chaya koi hamko bataye ji
husn ki kimat kya jab koi na chahe ji

yaha lakho hai diwane ek shama jalte hi
sau aate hai parwane ek shama jalte hi
sau aate hai parwane chalo jhagda hi beet gaya
chalo jhagda hi beet gaya preet ki reet hai ye
jo hara wo jeet gaya preet ki reet hai ye
jo hara wo jeet gaya

Why stain your eyes with kohl, tell me why?
You are not so fair, my love, as you believe.
You are not so fair, my love, as you believe.

Let the world burn, let it burn away,
The spell of kohl-lined eyes will forever play.
The spell of kohl-lined eyes will forever play.

But magic does not last, it fades with the day,
Does not the sun, in splendor, always decay?
Does not the sun, in splendor, always decay?

The sun departs, the moon arrives, night or day,
The hue of beauty casts its spell, come what may.
The hue of beauty casts its spell, someone say,
What is beauty's worth when love walks away?

A million fools for a single burning light,
A hundred moths, drawn to the flame of night.
A hundred moths, drawn to the flame, the fight is done,
The law of love, where losing is won,
The law of love, where losing is won.
