mujhse sham suhani puche prem kahani
aadhi hai adhuri hai main kya bolu jani
jani jani jani
apni prem kahani darta hu diwani
kehne me sunane me ho na jaye purani

pehli pehli bar tumne mujhko dekha
aankho ke us par khich gayi gahri rekha
ho gayi kab se aapki surat
aapki bate yad jubani
mujhse sham suhani puche prem kahani
aadhi hai adhuri hai main kya bolu jani
ha jani ha jani ha jani

mehendi wale hath dede hatho me mere
ye mere din rat ho jayenge tere
hogi fir har sham nashili rat rangili bhor suhani
apni prem kahani darta hu diwani
kehne me sunane me ho na jaye purani

The evening whispers, "Tell me of love's art,"
A tale half-drawn, a fractured, beating heart.
My love, my love, my only one, so fair,
How can I speak, lest age should find it there?

The first time, eyes met, a glance so deep,
Across the chasm, secrets they did keep.
Your face, a dawn that painted all my days,
Your words, a song, in memory's soft haze.
The evening whispers, "Tell me of love's art,"
A tale half-drawn, a fractured, beating heart.
My love, my love, my only one, so fair,

Let hennaed hands now meet and intertwine,
My days and nights, forever yours, they'll be, fine.
Each evening, drunk with dreams, a painted bloom,
Each dawn a promise, chasing back the gloom.
My love, my love, my only one, so fair,
How can I speak, lest age should find it there?
