pahle to aankh milana fir thoda sa sharmana
sharma ke chale jana are wah wah wah wah
pahle to pas bulana thoda sa pyar jatana
ghabda ke chale jana are wah wah wah

kaise gori apne dil ki baat labon par laun
kaise gori apne dil ki baat labon par laun
husn tumhara bijli jaisa dekh ke main dar jau
main ek hindustani chori main kyu pyar jatau
main ek hindustani chori main kyu pyar jatau
itna kar sakti hu tujhko dekhu or muskau
ghaunghat pat sarkana fir thoda sa muskurna
muskake chale jana are wah wah wah wah
pahle to paas bulana thoda sa pyar jatana
ghabra ke chale jana are wah wah wah

in aankhon ko o gori tu kitni achchi lage
in aankhon ko o gori tu kitni achchi lage
hum jaiso se aakhir kyu tu hath chudakar bhage
jab tu haskr aankh milaye dil ye dhadkan lage
jab tu haskr aankh milaye dil ye dhadkan lage
dil chahe mai sharmake dil rakh du tere aage
pahle ban than ke aana hame thoda sa tarsana
tarsaa ke chale jana are wa wa wa
pehle to pas bulana thoda sa pyar jatana
ghabra ke chale jana are wa wa wa
pahle to aankh milana fir thoda sa sharmana
sharma ke chale jana are wa wa wa wa

First, eyes that meet, a fleeting spark,
Then shyness blooms, a blush in the dark.
She turns away, a whispered sigh,
Ah, the dance of love, passing by.

Then beckoned close, a gentle grace,
A hint of love upon her face.
Then fear takes hold, she must depart,
Ah, the trembling soul, the fragile heart.

How, fair maiden, can I speak my heart's plea?
How, fair maiden, can I speak my heart's plea?
Your beauty's lightning, dazzling me,
I fear its fire, wild and free.
A daughter of Hindustan, love I restrain,
A daughter of Hindustan, love I restrain.
But gaze upon you, and smile again,
The most I can, to ease the pain.

The veil undone, a glimpse revealed,
Then shyly smiles, her fate concealed.
She turns away, a whispered sigh,
Ah, the dance of love, passing by.
Then beckoned close, a gentle grace,
A hint of love upon her face.
Then fear takes hold, she must depart,
Ah, the trembling soul, the fragile heart.

These eyes behold, fair maiden, you are so fair,
These eyes behold, fair maiden, you are so fair,
Why from us, do you run away to somewhere?
When you smile and meet my gaze, my heart is there,
When you smile and meet my gaze, my heart is there,
My heart would surrender, to your loving care.

First, adorned with care, my soul to tease,
Then with longing, I am at ease.
She turns away, a whispered sigh,
Ah, the dance of love, passing by.
Then beckoned close, a gentle grace,
A hint of love upon her face.
Then fear takes hold, she must depart,
Ah, the trembling soul, the fragile heart.

First, eyes that meet, a fleeting spark,
Then shyness blooms, a blush in the dark.
She turns away, a whispered sigh,
Ah, the dance of love, passing by.
