aa prem mein tohre aisi padi main
purana zamana naya ho gaya yeh kya ho gaya
kab saans thaami kab saans chhori
har dard mera bayaan ho gaya
yeh kya ho gaya prem mein tohre
aankhon se chhalke shaamein awadh ki
subah hai honthon pe banaras waali
baalon se barse jhelum ka paani

ghat se ghat mein aisi phiri re
mujhse thikana mera kho gaya
yeh kya ho gaya prem mein tohre
parde mein tohre chori chori chori chori jiya jaaye na
parde mein tohre chori chori chori chori mita jaaye na
aata hai chhup ke tu mere dar pe
ghayal dil aur dhadkan banjar ghayal dil aur dhadkan banjar
haldi mali jo ghaav pe tohre har zakhm mera hara ho gaya
yeh kya ho gaya prem mein tohre aisi padi main
purana zamana naya ho gaya
yeh kya ho gaya prem mein tohre

Ah, in your love, I am undone,
The ancient world reborn, made new.
What has become?
When breath was held, when breath released,
Each ache of mine, made plain to view.
What has become, in your love?

From eyes, the evenings of Avadh spill,
The mornings bloom upon my lips, Varanasi's grace.
From hair, the waters of Jhelum fall,
I wander ghat to ghat, in endless chase.
My own true home, I've lost it too.
What has become, in your love?
Hidden in your veil,
Stealing, stealing, stealing, to live unknown.
Hidden in your veil,
Stealing, stealing, stealing, to be erased.

You come in secret to my door,
A wounded heart, a barren shore.
A wounded heart, a barren shore.
When turmeric touched the wounds you bore,
Each scar of mine, made green anew.
What has become?
In your love, I am undone,
The ancient world reborn, made new.
What has become, in your love?
