mohabbat ke shishe pe pathar na maro
ye daulat kaha sabko milti hai yaro
najrana sajan ka pyar bute sare jisme hazar
lahrati jaye albeli nar
lal dupatta malmal ka, lal dupatta malmal ka
najrana sajan ka pyar bute sare jisme hazar
lahrati jaye albeli nar
lal dupatta malmal ka lal dupatta malmal ka

bute me khilte arma ke phul taro me lipte sanso ke tar
bute me khilte arma ke phul taro me lipte sanso ke tar
sehra pahan ke aayenge sajna utrega chanda sajni ke dwar
dikhlaye aise sapne hazar
lal dupatta malmal ka lal dupatta malmal ka

bute sitare inko na jan halki najar se inko na tol
bute sitare inko na jan halki najar se inko na tol
ye to mohabbat ki roshni se likhe gaye hai chahat ke bol
ye to kitabe ishk hai yar
lal dupatta malmal ka lal dupatta malmal ka
najrana sajan ka pyar bute sare jisme hazar
lahrati jaye albeli nar
lal dupatta malmal ka, lal dupatta malmal ka

Shatter not love's glass with stones,
A treasure rarely held, this gift.
A lover's offering, a thousand blooms in embrace,
A maiden fair, she gently sways.
A crimson veil of finest silk, a crimson veil of finest silk,
A lover's offering, a thousand blooms in embrace,
A maiden fair, she gently sways.
A crimson veil of finest silk, a crimson veil of finest silk.

In blooms, hopes unfurl, in stars, breaths entwined,
In blooms, hopes unfurl, in stars, breaths entwined.
With a desert of love, my beloved comes,
the moon descends to meet his love's desire.
A thousand dreams, they start to spark,
A crimson veil of finest silk, a crimson veil of finest silk.

Do not see these blooms as mere stars,
Do not weigh them with a shallow gaze.
For they are written with love's light,
with the verses of pure desire.
This, my friend, is love from books,
A crimson veil of finest silk, a crimson veil of finest silk.
A lover's offering, a thousand blooms in embrace,
A maiden fair, she gently sways.
A crimson veil of finest silk, a crimson veil of finest silk.
