pahli baar mili jo aankhe
dil ne dil se pyar kiya
dusri baar mili jo najre
teer jigar ke paar kiye
teer chalane wale aaja aaja re
aaja dil ko phir tyaar kiya

pahli baar mili jo aankhe
dil ne dil se pyar kiya
dusri baar mili jo najre
teer jigar ke paar kiye

ek najar ne dil ko bandha
ek najar ne waar kiya
ek najar ne chain churake
jina dushwar kiya
o ghayal karke
o ghayal karke baat na puchhi
khub sitam sarkar kiya
teer chalane wale aaja aaja re
aaja dil ko phir tyaar kiya
pahli baar mili jo aankhe
dil ne dil se pyar kiya
dusri baar mili jo najre
teer jigar ke paar kiye

teri khushi me o bedardi
ab to khushi hamari hai
soch samajh kar dil ki duniya
tere aage hari hai
soch samajh kar
soch samajh kar nain milaye
soch samajh kar pyar kiya
teer chalane wale aaja aaja re
aaja dil ko phir tyaar kiya
pahli baar mili jo aankhe
dil ne dil se pyar kiya
dusri baar mili jo najre
teer jigar ke paar kiye

First time our eyes met,
heart whispered love to heart.
Second glance, a piercing gaze,
a dart through soul's own art.
Archer of passion, come, oh come,
prepare this heart to restart.

First time our eyes met,
heart whispered love to heart.
Second glance, a piercing gaze,
a dart through soul's own art.

One look, a binding spell,
another, a wounding dart.
One glance, stole peace away,
made living a broken start.
Oh, having wounded,
oh, having wounded, asked no word,
cruel the sovereign's art.
Archer of passion, come, oh come,
prepare this heart to restart.
First time our eyes met,
heart whispered love to heart.
Second glance, a piercing gaze,
a dart through soul's own art.

In your joy, oh cruel one,
now our joy does reside.
With thought and care, this heart's world,
to you, it has now died.
With thought and care,
with thought and care, eyes entwined,
with thought and care, love supplied.
Archer of passion, come, oh come,
prepare this heart to restart.
First time our eyes met,
heart whispered love to heart.
Second glance, a piercing gaze,
a dart through soul's own art.
