aaj dil ko tabaah karne do
khubsurat gunaah karne do
rukh se parda hatao jaan-e-haya
aaj dil ko tabah karne do
rukh se jara naqaab utha do mere huzoor
rukh se jara naqaab utha do mere huzoor
jalwa phir ek baar dikha do mere huzoor

tum hamsafar mile ho mujhe is hayaat mein
tum hamsafar mile ho mujhe is hayaat mein
mil jaay jaise chaand koyi suni raat mein
jaaoge tum kahaan yeh baata do mere huzoor
rukh se jara naqaab utha do mere huzoor
jalwa phir ek baar dikha do mere huzoor

husn-o-jamaal aapka sheeshe mein dekhkar
husn-o-jamaal aapka sheeshe mein dekhkar
madhosh ho chuka hu main jalwo ki raah par
gar ho sake toh hosh mein laa do mere huzoor
rukh se jara naqaab utha do mere huzoor
jalwa phir ek baar dikha do mere huzoor

wo marmari se haath wo mehka hua badan
wo marmari se haath wo mehka hua badan
takraaya mere dil se muhabbat ka ik chaman
mere bhi dil ka phool khila do mere huzoor
rukh se jara naqaab utha do mere huzoor
jalwa phir ek baar dikha do mere huzoor

Let me gaze upon your face,
Let me commit this beautiful disgrace.
Unveil, oh life's modesty,
Let my heart meet its final space.
Lift the veil, oh my beloved,
Lift the veil, oh my beloved,
Grant a glimpse, again, my beloved.

You, a companion found in this life,
You, a companion found in this life,
Like a moon in a desolate night.
Awake, and tell me where you reside, my beloved,
Lift the veil, oh my beloved,
Grant a glimpse, again, my beloved.

Beholding your beauty in a mirror's keep,
Beholding your beauty in a mirror's keep,
I am lost, drunk in the visions I weep.
If you can, bring me back from the deep, my beloved,
Lift the veil, oh my beloved,
Grant a glimpse, again, my beloved.

Those marble hands, that scented frame,
Those marble hands, that scented frame,
Touched my heart, love's garden came.
Let the flower of my heart bloom, my beloved,
Lift the veil, oh my beloved,
Grant a glimpse, again, my beloved.
