maine kaha ai ji maine kaha
tumse hame pyar hai maine kaha
ai ji maine kaha, hamko kab inkar hai maine kaha

ai ji yeh toh bata do ki hui hai kya baat
kyun mai tere sapne dekhu sari-sari raat
ai ji yeh toh bata do ki hui hai kya baat
kyun mai tere sapne dekhu sari-sari raat
mai kya janu, shayad yahi pyar hai
ai ji maine kaha, hamko kab inkar hai maine kaha

hamko bhi tanhayiyo me nind na aai
le lo chahe chand-sitaaro se gavahi
hamko bhi tanhayiyo me nind na aai
le lo chahe chand-sitaaro se gavahi
jane bhi do hamko etabar hai
maine kaha ai ji maine kaha
tumse hame pyar hai maine kaha

ab toh tamanna hai tere dil me hi rahe
ham bhi yahi chahte hain aur kya kahe
ab toh tamanna hai tere dil me hi rahe
ham bhi yahi chahte hain aur kya kahe
phir meri jaan, han meri jaan
bahar hi bahar hai
maine kaha ai ji maine kaha
tumse hame pyar hai maine kaha
hamko kab inkar hai maine kaha

I said, oh beloved, I said,
My heart for you, it is love, I said.
Oh beloved, I said, how could I deny, I said.

Oh, tell me now, what has transpired,
That in your dreams, my soul is now entwined?
Oh, tell me now, what has transpired,
That in your dreams, my soul is now entwined?
I do not know, perhaps this is love's art,
Oh beloved, I said, how could I deny, I said.

In solitude, sleep eludes my sight,
Ask the moon and stars, they know the plight.
In solitude, sleep eludes my sight,
Ask the moon and stars, they know the plight.
Let it be, for in this, trust takes flight,
I said, oh beloved, I said,
My heart for you, it is love, I said.

Now, to reside within your heart, this is my plea,
And you desire this too, what more could be?
Now, to reside within your heart, this is my plea,
And you desire this too, what more could be?
Then, my dear, yes, my dear,
Spring is everywhere to see.
I said, oh beloved, I said,
My heart for you, it is love, I said.
How could I deny, I said.
