o preeti mere jane jigar o janu i love you dear
kitna sunder andaz hai husan ka tere ye daur hai
pahla pahla ikrara hai pahla pahla ye pyar hai
tum jo mile dil ne kaha ha tere hi sang hai mera jaha
tere bin kate na din or rate meri
o preeti mere jane jigar o janu i love you dear

tujhko mai konsi rangat kahu
chandan kahu ya madhuban kahu
ek surila saj kahu sangmarmar ka taj kahu
dil me mere bas gayi nagin si mohe das gayi
bali umariya mohe das gayi tabhi to chudi meri fas gayi
ho bita bachpan aayi jhum ke ye jawani
o janu i love you dear o preeti mere jane jigar

maine kabhi socha nahi ye dil gawa dega kahi
kal tak mere sine me tha kisne churaya hai ye yahi
jab se dekha tujhe sawra manwa bole use bawra
jaise hotho ke sang bansuri aisi lipti tu moh se sawri
ho jag chhute sab ruthe par na ruthe tu
fas gayi chidiya ab jal me
mar gayi maine is hal me teri baho ke har me
din kat jaye ye pyar me humdum mere dil ne kaha
tum jo mile dil ne kaha ha tere hi sang hai mera jaha
tere bin kate na din or rate meri
o preeti mere jane jigar o janu i love you dear

My Preeti, soul of my soul, my beloved, I love you, dear.
How beautiful your form, in this era you appear.
First confession of love, this first, tender embrace,
When you met me, my heart declared, with you, I find my place.
Without you, days and nights cannot pass, my dear,
My Preeti, soul of my soul, my beloved, I love you, dear.

What color shall I give you, my love,
Sandalwood's scent, or the Madhuban's grove?
A melodious tune, or marble's gleam,
My heart, you entered like a serpent's dream,
You bit me deep within.
My youthful years, you have stung,
And that is why my bangles are now strung.
Childhood passed, youth now swayed,
My beloved, I love you, my Preeti, soul of my soul, you stayed.

I never thought my heart would stray,
Yesterday, it was nestled in my chest, where did it go today?
Since I saw you, my dark one, my mind, now mad,
Like a flute entwined with lips, you've wrapped me in your shade, so sad.
The world may leave, all may turn away, but not you,
The bird is trapped within this net, it is true.
I am dying in this state, within your embrace,
May days pass in this love, my companion, my heart's space.
When you met me, my heart declared, with you I find my place.
Without you, days and nights cannot pass, my dear,
My Preeti, soul of my soul, my beloved, I love you, dear.
