pehli nazar tere pyar ki
ho mere dil me utar gayi
pehli nazar tere pyar ki
ho mere dil me utar gayi
ho diwane ho ya sharabi mastane
diwane ho ya sharabi mastane
mana ki hum to diwane hai
haye ram ye to kaho ki
sarkar ki ho lat kaise bikhar gayi
pehli nazar tere pyar ki
ho mere dil me utar gayi

ho o chale kaha aise gusse me tan ke
chale kaha aise gusse me tan ke
bal na pade kahi tere badan pe
ho tere badan pe

o ho hum to chale usi banki ada se
hum to chale usi banki ada se
koi jale apni bala se ji apni bala se
dekho re logo sitam ye ke
haye ram tirchhi dildar ki
ho dil leke mukar gayi
pehli nazar tere pyar ki
ho mere dil me utar gayi

The first gaze of your love,
descended deep within my heart.
The first gaze of your love,
descended deep within my heart.
Are we mad, or drunk with passion?
Mad, or drunk with a divine madness?
We are mad, it is true,
Oh, Ram! Tell me,
how did the government's locks,
tumble and spill?
The first gaze of your love,
descended deep within my heart.

Where do you storm, so stiff with anger?
Where do you go, so stiff with rage?
May no troubles befall your form,
upon your perfect form.

We walk, with that same proud grace,
We walk with that same flowing grace,
Let others burn with their own woes!
Look, people, at this cruelty,
Oh, Ram! The beloved's sidelong glance,
took my heart, then turned away.
The first gaze of your love,
descended deep within my heart.
