kah do ek bar sajna itna kyu pyar
sajna hai mujhme aisa bhi kya re
badal hai tera kajal ambar hai tera aachal
suraj hai teri bindiya re kah do
ek bar sajna itna kyu pyar sajna
hai mujhme aisa bhi kya re badal hai tera kajal
ambar hai tera aachal suraj hai teri bindiya re

sajna ji aap kyu aise bechain hai
chain to mera lute tere ye do nain hai
sajna ji aap kyu aise bechain hai
chain to mera lute tere ye do nain hai
naino me kaise mai kah du hai kya kahdo ek bar sajna
do or do char sajna naino me aisa bhi kya re
kajre ki dhar inme aisi talwar inme chine jo meri nindiya re

sajna ki aap kyu aise behal hai tera
chehra dekhu to aate so khyal hai
sajna ki aap kyu aise behal hai tera
chehra dekhu to aate so khyal hai
chehre me kaise mai kahdu hai kya
kahdo ek bar sajna o bekarar sajna
chehre me aisa bhi kya re dekhu din rat sajni
par hai ye bat sajni lagta hai fir bhi naya re
kah do ek bar sajna itna kyu pyar sajna
hai mujhme aisa bhi kya re badal hai tera kajal
ambar hai tera aachal suraj hai teri bindiya re

Tell me once, Beloved, why this love's embrace?
Beloved, what is it within me you trace?
Clouds, your kohl, the sky, your sheltering shawl,
The sun, your bindi, answering passion's call.
Tell me once, Beloved, why this love's sway?
Beloved, what is it that holds you this way?
Clouds, your kohl, the sky, your sheltering hand,
The sun, your bindi, across the promised land.

Beloved, why this unrest in your soul?
My peace stolen by your eyes, taking their toll.
Beloved, why this unrest, this seeking deep?
My peace stolen by the eyes where secrets sleep.
How can I speak of what lies in my gaze?
Tell me once, Beloved, through life's winding maze.
Two plus two makes four, Beloved, it's true,
What is it, Beloved, that you see shining through?
The kohl's dark stream, a sword within, so keen,
That steals my sleep, the world unseen.

Beloved, why this sorrow you impart?
When I see your face, a hundred thoughts start.
Beloved, why this sorrow, this shadowed plight?
When I see your face, a hundred thoughts ignite.
How can I tell you what lies in your face?
Tell me once, Beloved, in this breathless space.
Oh, restless one, what is it you find?
I gaze on you night and day, my mind entwined.
Yet it seems fresh, though this love has grown,
Tell me once, Beloved, and make it known.
Tell me once, Beloved, why this love's hold?
Beloved, what is it, a story to be told?
Clouds, your kohl, the sky, your gentle grace,
The sun, your bindi, shining on your face.
