pyaas kuchh aur bhi bhadka di jhalak dikhlake
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
itni gustakh na ho ishq ki aavara nazar
husn ka pas nigaho ko sikhana hoga
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
husn ka pas nigaho ko sikhana hoga

chand taro ko mayassar hai nazara tera
meri betab nigaho se ye parda kyo hai
chand aayina mera tare mere naqsh-e-kadam
gair ko ankh milane ki tamanna kyo hai
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
husn ka pas nigaho ko sikhana hoga

tujhko dekha tujhe chaha tujhe puja maine
bas yahi isake siva meri khata kya hogi
hamne achaa kiya ghabra ke jo munh pher liya
isse kam dil ki tadapne ki saza kya hogi
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
husn ka pas nigaho ko sikhana hoga

pyas kuchh aur bhi bhadka di jhalak dikhlake
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
itni gustakh na ho ishq ka avara nazar
husn ka pas nigaho ko sikhana hoga

pyas kuchh aur bhi bhadka di jhalak dikhala ke
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
chand me nur na taro me chamak baqi hai
ye andhera meri duniya ka mitana hoga

ai mujhe hijr ki rato me jaganevale
ja kabhi nind judai me na ayegi tujhe
subah tapakegi teri ankh se ansu banake
rat sine ki kasak ban ke jagayegi tujhe
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
ye andhera meri duniya ka mitana hoga

koi araman hain na hasarat hai na ummide hai
ab mere dil me muhabbat ke siva kuchh bhi nahi
ye muqaddar ki kharabi ye zamane ka sitam
bevafa teri inayat ke siva kuchh bhi nahi
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga
ye andhera meri duniya ka mitana hoga
pyas kuchh aur bhi bhadka di jhalak dikhala ke
tujhko parda rukh-e-roshan se hatana hoga

A glimpse, and thirst, a raging fire ignited,
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
Let not love's gaze be bold, its vision flighty,
Teach eyes respect for beauty, so divine.
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
Teach eyes respect for beauty, so divine.

The moon and stars, they gaze upon your splendor,
Why is this veil before my yearning sight?
The moon, my mirror, stars, my footsteps render,
Why crave a gaze that offers no delight?
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
Teach eyes respect for beauty, so divine.

I saw you, loved you, worshipped you in truth,
What fault, save this, could ever be my own?
We did well to turn away, with youthful ruth,
What greater pain could a wounded heart have known?
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
Teach eyes respect for beauty, so divine.

A glimpse, and thirst, a raging fire ignited,
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
Let not love's gaze be bold, its vision flighty,
Teach eyes respect for beauty, so divine.

A glimpse, and thirst, a raging fire ignited,
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
No light in moon, nor sparkle in the stars,
This darkness from my world, you must resign.

O, you who wake me through the nights of parting,
May sleep desert you in your lonely days.
The dawn will weep as tears from you are starting,
The night will wake you with a heart's harsh blaze.
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
This darkness from my world, you must resign.

No longing left, no hope, no expectations,
My heart now holds but love, and love alone.
This fate's ill turn, these times of desolations,
But faithless grace, from you, is all I've known.
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
This darkness from my world, you must resign.
A glimpse, and thirst, a raging fire ignited,
You must unveil your radiant face, and shine.
