mohobatt ki basti basane se pahle
mohobatt ki basti basane se pahle
ejajat to lelo jamane se pahle
mohobat ke ras me nibhane se pahle
mohobat ke ras me nibhane se pahle
vo sarma gye pass aane se pahle
mohobat ki basti kya aahaaj ka

apne anjam hoga kya aahaj ka
apne anjam hoga kya aavaj ka
apne anjam hoga ye socho jara dil
lagaane se pahale vo sarma gye pass aane se pahale
mohobat ke ras me nhi joshise hosh se
kam lena nhi joshise hosh se
kaam lena kisi ko bhi apna

banane se pahle ejajat to lelo
jamane se pahle mohobat ki basti
jara dil ke taro ko masti me chheron
jara dil ke taro ko masti me chheron
jara dil ke taro ko masti me chheron
mohobatt ke nagam me sunane se pahle

vo sarma gye pass aane se pahle
mohobatt ke ras koi to sabb hai
gulistan me kaliyan koi to sabb hain
gulistan me kaliyan koi to sabb hain
gulistiyan me kaliyan jo murjha gyi
mushkurane se pahle ejajat to lelo
jamane se pahle mohobatt ki basti

Before building the city of love,
before the heart takes root,
seek permission from the world,
before tasting love's sweet fruit.

Before embracing love's embrace,
before the blush upon the face,
think on what the end shall be,
before your heart finds its place.

Before the blush, a turning away,
in love's nectar, a careful sway,
heed your senses, stay aware,
before claiming another to stay.

Seek permission from the world,
before building love's fair town,
then let your heartstrings play,
before love's song comes down.

Before the blush, a turning away,
in love's essence, a reason to find,
in the garden, the reason lies,
why the blossoms have declined.

Before smiling,
seek permission from the world,
before building love's fair town.
