kise wal akhaya ve majnu
kise wal akhaya ve majnu
teri laila dis di kali ve
kise wal akhaya ve majnu
teri laila dis di kali ve
manju ne jwab dita
o teri ankh naal vekhan wali ve
je tu vekhe meri ankhaa da
majnu bolta hain
je tu vekhe meri ankhaa da
teri surat na jaye sambhali ve
vaid vich ka kuran vich ke
vich syahi rakh diti kali ve
o gulam farid jithe ankhiya ladiya
gulam farid jithe ankhiya ladiya
uthe kya gori kya kali ve

Tell me, Majnun, towards which shore do you gaze?
Tell me, Majnun, towards which shore do you gaze?
Your Laila, does she appear dark to your eyes?
Tell me, Majnun, towards which shore do you gaze?
Your Laila, does she appear dark to your eyes?

Majnun replied, his spirit ablaze:
Ah, your eyes, they simply cannot see.
If you saw through my eyes, the vision,
If you saw through my eyes, the vision,
Your own form, you could not keep.

In Vedas, in the Quran, they speak,
In the ink, they have rendered darkness.
O, Ghulam Farid, where eyes have met,
O, Ghulam Farid, where eyes have met,
There, what is fair, and what is dark, dissolves.
