o kaise kaise teer chalaye
kaise kaise teer chalaye jiya tadpaye
najariya dil mera
haye najar tarsaye ke nit ne
haye najariya dil mera
kaise kaise teer chalaye

idhar bhi dekho jo mehfil me aake baithe ho
ye kya ada hai ke najre jhuka ke baithe ho
teer najar ka dil hai nishana
main hi nahi kahta hai zamana
main hi nahi kahta hai zamana
mehfil ki mehfil ye pukare jane tamanna haye
kaise kaise teer chalaye jiya tadpaye
najariya dil mera
haye najar tarsaye ke nit ne
haye najariya dil mera
kaise kaise teer chalaye

tumhare dar pe khade hai janab kuch bhi mile
sawal kar to diya hai jawab kuch bhi mile
teri khushi par dil bhi haraungi
ab to laga di jaan ki baji
ab to laga di jaan ki baji
darde dil ka tu sitamgar kaun samjhaye
kaise kaise teer chalaye jiya tadpaye
najariya dil mera
kaise kaise teer chalaye

How shall these arrows fly,
How shall they pierce, my soul to cry?
My heart, a gaze that yearns,
A constant thirst, my spirit burns.
My heart, a gaze that yearns,
How shall these arrows fly?

Gaze upon this gathering, you who sit,
What veiled grace, with eyes bowed, knit?
The arrow of your glance, my heart's mark,
Not I alone, but all the dark.
Not I alone, but all the dark,
The assembly itself, calls out, O beloved!
How shall these arrows fly, my soul to cry?
My heart, a gaze that yearns,
A constant thirst, my spirit burns.
My heart, a gaze that yearns,
How shall these arrows fly?

At your doorstep, I stand, my plea,
May something be granted, even from thee.
Upon your joy, my heart I'd lose,
I've wagered my life, I choose.
I've wagered my life, I choose.
O tormentor of the heart, who can understand you?
How shall these arrows fly, my soul to cry?
My heart, a gaze that yearns,
How shall these arrows fly?
