neelam ke nabh chhayi pukharazi jhanki
mere to naino me kirno ke pankhi
paati ki godi me soyi thi ek kali

kaise soyi hogi kali jaise soyi meri lali
kali hili u hu kali dauli na-na
ghuli-ghuli benjaniya sapno me ek kali
itne me mor pankh paras huya
ghuli-ghuli benjaniya sapno me ek kali
itne me mor pankh paras huya

kaha-kaha pe chhua ri zara ise to bata ri
galo par u hu balo par na-na
itne me mor pankh paras huya palko par
jadu se phul bani ek kali champa ki
sach iske naino me kirno ke pankhi
sach iske naino me kirno ke pankhi

champa ke pav me ghungaru ug aaye
champa ke pav me ghungaru ug aaye
tehani ne tal diya thirak-thirak lehraye
bhaware ka gandh-git aath suro wala
sant aane ka hosh kise baki
hum sabke naino me kirno ke pankhi
hum sabke naino me kirno ke pankhi
hum sabke naino me kirno ke pankhi

Sapphire skies, a topaz gleam,
In my eyes, wings of light convene.
A bud slept in the leaf's embrace,
A slumber mirroring my daughter's grace.

Did the bud stir? No, it did not move,
Lost in dreams, a violet cove.
As a peacock's feather brushed so light,
Lost in dreams, a violet light.
As a peacock's feather brushed so light.

Where did it touch? Tell me, unveil,
Cheeks? No. Hair? No.
The feather kissed her lashes,
With magic, a champa bud bloomed,
Truly, in her eyes, wings of light.
Truly, in her eyes, wings of light.

Anklets blossomed on the champa's feet,
The branch kept rhythm, swaying sweet.
The bumblebee's song, seven notes entwined,
No one aware, a saint's design.
In our eyes, wings of light we find,
In our eyes, wings of light we find,
In our eyes, wings of light we find.
