pyar karne se pahle jaruri hai ye
pyar karne se pahle jaruri hai ye
mai tujhe jan lu tu mujhe jan le
pyar ki to koi bhi kasauti nahi
pyar ki to koi bhi kasauti nahi
meri tarah tu bhi sach man le
pyar ki to koi bhi kasauti nahi

khel nahi hai mohabbat nibhana
soch samjh kar kadam badhana
khel nahi hai mohabbat nibhana
soch samjh kar kadam badhana
mumkin hai ye jamana na mane
kafi nahi hai tera maan jana
pas aane se pahle jaruri hai ye
mai tujhe jan lu tu mujhe jan le
pyar ki to koi bhi kasauti nahi
meri tarah tu bhi sach man le
pyar ki to koi bhi kasauti nahi

jamane ki bate abhi na sunao
jaha ko bhula kar mere paas aao
jamane ki bate abhi na sunao
jaha ko bhula kar mere pas aao
satao rulao ya koi jurm dahao
magar hai kasam abhi nahi dur jao
aaj duri rahe na koi bich me
aaj duri rahe na koi bich me
ab to yar mera kahna maan le
pyar karne se pahle jaruri hai ye
mai tujhe jan lu tu mujhe jan le
pyar karne se pahle jaruri hai ye

dil ki lagi ye kabhi kam na ho
koi ho thikana koi bhi janam ho
dil ki lagi ye kabhi kam na ho
koi ho thikana koi bhi janam ho
mohabbat ki meri kahani hamesha
tumhi se suru ho tumhi pe khatam ho
man ki halat kaha tak juba se kahu
man ki halat kaha tak juba se kahu
meri aankho ki bhasha jara pahchan le
pyar karne se pahle jaruri hai ye
mai tujhe jan lu tu mujhe jan le
pyar ki to koi bhi kasauti nahi
meri tarah tu bhi sach man le
pyar ki to koi bhi kasauti nahi

Before love's tender bloom, a truth we seek,
Before love's dance, a knowing must speak:
I must know you, and you must know me,
For love's measure, a phantom decree.
No true test of love exists, you see.
Believe as I do, embrace reality.
No true test of love exists, for you and me.

Love's path is not a game to be played,
So tread with care, let wisdom be swayed.
Love's path is not a game, it's true,
So tread with care, in all you do.
The world may not approve, I know,
Your surrender, not enough to bestow.
Before nearness blooms, this must unfold:
I must know you, your story told.
No true test of love exists, you see.
Believe as I do, embrace reality.
No true test of love exists, for you and me.

Dismiss the world's whispers, their hollow sound,
Forget the realms, where we're not bound.
Dismiss the world's words, their empty call,
Forget the realms, heed my enthrall.
Taunt, or weep, or any wrong you bring,
But by my oath, do not take wing.
Today, let no distance linger near,
Today, let no shadows of doubt appear.
Now, my dear, now heed my plea,
Before love's dance, a knowing decree.
I must know you, and you must know me,
Before love's dance, a truth we see.

This heart's fire, never to fade,
Through any realm, in any parade.
This heart's fire, never to cease,
In any place, finding release.
My love's tale, forever to gleam,
Begins with you, and ends in dream.
How can I speak of this heart's desire?
How can I speak, with soul's fire?
Recognize my eyes, their language deep,
Before love's dance, this truth we keep:
I must know you, and you must know me,
For love's measure, a phantom decree.
No true test of love exists, you see.
Believe as I do, embrace reality.
No true test of love exists, for you and me.
