o rekha tujhe dekha jabse dekha jabse
dil tere nashe me chur hua ha chur hua
ho jabse tune dil jeet liya dil jeet liya
dil jeet ke fir kyu dur hua kyu dur hua
dil tere nashe me chur hua dil jit ke fir kyu tu dur hua
kyu dil ye nashe me chur hua kyu dil se mere tu dur hua

sawli surat mohani murat mohani murat sawli surat
mohan mantar mar gayi re mar gayi re
ho mila wo chhora rang ka gora rang ka gora
mila wo chora aise mila dil har gayi re har gayi re
nain mile milke jhuke milke jhuke hosh ude
nain mile milke jhuke milke jhuke hosh ude
aankho hi aankho me do do sitare jude
jud ke mere nam se nam tera logo me bada mashur hua
jud ke mere nam se nam tera logo me bada mashur hua
ho jabse tune dil jeet liya dil jeet liya
dil jeet ke fir kyu dur hua kyu dur hua
dil tere nashe me chur hua dil jit ke fir kyu tu dur hua
kyu dil ye nashe me chur hua kyu dil se mere tu dur hua

tu madrashan mai punjabi mai punjabi tu madrashan
utar dakshin kaise mile kaise mile
desh na dekhe jat na puche jat na puche desh na dekhe
dil me jo pyar ka phul khile re phul khile re
kya hai bhala kya hai bura janu na mai tu hi bata
kya hai bhala kya hai bura janu na mai tu hi bata
socha na tha ye kabhi maine socha na tha
tune gairo se rishta jod liya ye kaise tujhe manjur hua
tune gairo se rishta jod liya ye kaise tujhe manjur hua
o rekha tujhe dekha jabse dekha jabse
dil tere nashe me chur hua ha chur hua
dil tere nashe me chur hua dil jeet ke fir kyu dur hua
kyu dil ye nashe me chur hua kyu dil se mere tu dur hua

har bat bhulade bhuladu kaise batade
badal du dil ke irade hai dekhe tere wade
mujhe tu na pahchane mera dil tujhko jane
tuhje dil apna mane are ja chhod bahane
ye do dil fir mil jaye na hum fir dhokha khaye
to hum fir kaise manaye dobara hath na aaye

kya hoga agar dil tera kabhi mere pyar me majbur hua
kya hoga agar dil tera kabhi mere pyar me majbur hua
o rekha tujhe dekha jabse dekha jabse
dil tere nashe me chur hua ha chur hua
ho jabse tune dil jeet liya dil jeet liya
dil jeet ke fir kyu dur hua kyu dur hua
dil tere nashe me chur hua dil jit ke fir kyu tu dur hua
kyu dil ye nashe me chur hua kyu dil se mere tu dur hua

From the moment I saw you, Rekha,
My heart drowned in your intoxicating spell.
You won my heart, it was yours to keep,
Then why this distance, this farewell?

My heart, drunk on your essence, why?
You, victorious, now distant, why?
Why is my heart in this drunken haze?
Why are you so far from my gaze?

Your dusky face, an enchanting form,
A spell, a charm, that ensnared my soul.
I met a fair one, a beacon bright,
And lost my heart, beyond control.

Eyes met, lowered, then all sense was lost,
Eyes met, lowered, all sense took flight.
In those eyes, two stars entwined,
Joined, and your name grew to its height.
Joined, and your name echoed in the lore.

You won my heart, it was yours to keep,
Then why this distance, this farewell?
My heart, drunk on your essence, why?
You, victorious, now distant, why?
Why is my heart in this drunken haze?
Why are you so far from my gaze?

You are Madras, I am Punjab,
How can north and south ever meet?
No borders seen, no caste inquired,
When love's bloom unfurls, bittersweet.

What is right, what is wrong, I do not know,
Tell me, tell me, show me the way.
Never thought this could be true,
You built alliances, how could you say?

From the moment I saw you, Rekha,
My heart drowned in your intoxicating spell.
My heart, drunk on your essence, why?
You, victorious, now distant, why?
Why is my heart in this drunken haze?
Why are you so far from my gaze?

Forget it all, forget it all, show me how,
I will change my heart's desire, I’ll take back your vow.
You don’t know me, my heart knows you,
My heart accepts you, go, leave pretense too.
If these two hearts reunite once more,
And we don't deceive ourselves anymore,
Then how can we be reconciled again,
If this chance never comes again.

What if your heart, ever,
Was compelled by my love?
What if your heart, ever,
Was compelled by my love?

From the moment I saw you, Rekha,
My heart drowned in your intoxicating spell.
You won my heart, it was yours to keep,
Then why this distance, this farewell?
My heart, drunk on your essence, why?
You, victorious, now distant, why?
Why is my heart in this drunken haze?
Why are you so far from my gaze?
