nain so nain nahi milao nain so nain nahi milao
dekhat surat avat laj, saiyya
pyar se pyar ake sajao pyar se pyar ake sajao
madhur milan gavat aaj, guiya
nain so nain nahi milao nain nain so nain

khaicho kaman maro ji ban khaicho kaman maro ji ban
rut hai javan o mere pran
tumane chori kar li kaman, kaise maru prit ka ban guiya
nain so nain nahi milao nain nain so nain

rim jhim jhim gaye jharane ki dhaar
dil ko lubhaye koyal pukar
jharno ki dhara me tera sangit
gaye koyal tera hi geet, guiya
nain so nain nahi milao nain nain so nain

nile gagan pe jhumege aaj, badal ka pyar dekhege aaj
badal naiyya hai bijali patavar
bal naiyya hai bijali patvar
ham-tum chal de duniya ke par, saiyya
nain so nain nahi milao nain nain so nain

Do not meet eye to eye, do not meet eye to eye,
As your face appears, shame descends, Beloved.
Adorn love with love, adorn love with love,
Today, sweet union sings, my friend.
Do not meet eye to eye, do not meet eye to eye.

Draw the bow, shoot the arrow, draw the bow, shoot the arrow,
The season is young, oh my soul.
You have stolen the bow, how can I shoot love's arrow, my friend?
Do not meet eye to eye, do not meet eye to eye.

The streams sing with a gentle rhythm,
The cuckoo's call enchants the heart.
In the streams' flow, your music resides,
The cuckoo sings only your song, my friend.
Do not meet eye to eye, do not meet eye to eye.

We shall dance on the blue sky today, we shall dance on the blue sky today,
Witnessing the clouds' love today.
The cloud is the boat, lightning the oar,
We, you and I, will sail beyond the world, Beloved.
Do not meet eye to eye, do not meet eye to eye.
