pahle na dekha jaise kisi ne, aisa mujhe aaj dekha kisi ne
pahle na dekha jaise kisi ne, aisa mujhe aaj dekha kisi ne
maine sambhala muskil se ji ko, mujhko sambhala muskil se ji ne
pahle na dekha jaise kisi ne, aisa mujhe aaj dekha kisi ne

wo lakh mujhse daman bachaye, wo lakh mujhse daman bachaye
wo lakh mujhse aankhe churaye, aankhe churaye
mujhko mohbbat karna sikaya, unki nigaho ki berukhi ne
pahle na dekha jaise kisi ne, aisa mujhe aaj dekha kisi ne

kitna hasi tha vo vaqt haye, kitna hasi tha vo vaqt haye
bas chand nikala aur aap aaye, aur aap aaye
maine mubarak ki chandani ko, mujhko mubarak di chandani ne
pahle na dekha jaise kisi ne, aisa mujhe aaj dekha kisi ne
maine sambhala muskil se ji ko, mujhko sambhala muskil se ji ne

As if unseen before, in a gaze now, I am seen,
As if unseen before, in a gaze now, I am seen.
My own heart, I barely kept,
His heart, with difficulty, kept me keen,
As if unseen before, in a gaze now, I am seen.

Though he shields himself from me, and seeks to flee,
Though he shields himself from me,
Though his eyes avoid my plea,
His eyes avoid me.
Love's very art, his aloofness taught to me,
As if unseen before, in a gaze now, I am seen.

How lovely was that moment, alas, how grand,
How lovely was that moment,
The moon arose, and you, so close at hand,
You arrived at my command.
To the moonlit night, my blessing I send,
My heart's own moonlight, my blessing to lend,
As if unseen before, in a gaze now, I am seen,
My own heart, I barely kept,
His heart, with difficulty, kept me keen.
