nili nili ankhiyo me dubi dubi jau mai dubi dubi jau
kaha hai kinara kachu samajh na pau
kaha hai kinara kachu samajh na pau
kali kali zulfo me khoya khoya jau mai khoya jau
kaha hai kinara kachu samajh na pau
kaha hai kinara kachu samajh na pau

gore gore mukhde pe kali lat latke
gore gore mukhde pe kali lat latke
jaise koi naganiya soi ho simatke
piya mori zulfo me jiya tora atke
piya mori zulfo me jiya tora atke
aisa uljha kaise jaoge palatke
aisa uljha kaise jaoge palatke
pyar ka ye bandhan me kahe ko
chudau mai kahe ko chudau tu jo mili swarg mila
kaise thukrau tu jo mili swarg mila kaise thukrau

dekh tera mukhda rang uda darpan ka
dekh tera mukhda rang uda darpan ka
tut pada dharti pe chanda gagan ka
chand gira charno me pyasa milan ka
chand gira charno me pyasa milan ka
kab se diwana tha piya ki lagan ka
kab se diwana tha piya ki lagan ka
pyare pyare sapno ki duniya sajau mai duniya sajau
bhag mere jage jo tumsa ratan pau
bhag mere jage jo tumsa ratan pau

nili nili ankhiyo me dubi dubi jau mai dubi dubi jau
kaha hai kinara kachu samajh na pau
kaha hai kinara kachu samajh na pau

Drowning, I drown in eyes of blue,
Drowning, I drown, what shore to pursue?
Drowning, I drown, no end in view,
Lost in dark tresses, I wander anew.
Lost, I am lost, no shore I knew.
Lost, I am lost, no end in view.

Upon fair face, a dark lock does sway,
Upon fair face, a dark lock does sway,
Like a serpent sleeping, in slumber it lay.
Beloved, in your tresses, my life will stay,
Beloved, in your tresses, my life will stay.
Entwined so, how could you turn away?
Entwined so, how could you turn away?
This bond of love, why should I unbind?
This bond of love, why should I unbind?
With you, heaven found, never to decline,
With you, heaven found, never to decline.

Beholding your face, the mirror's hue fades,
Beholding your face, the mirror's hue fades,
The moon of the heavens, on earth cascades.
Moon falls to your feet, for union it pleads,
Moon falls to your feet, for union it pleads.
A lover, I yearned for your love's demands,
A lover, I yearned for your love's demands.
A world of sweet dreams, I will now command,
A world of sweet dreams, I will now command.
My fate is blessed, a treasure in hand,
My fate is blessed, a treasure in hand.

Drowning, I drown in eyes of blue,
Drowning, I drown, what shore to pursue?
Drowning, I drown, no end in view.
