jaanu jaanu jaanu
jaanu jaanu jaanu
sajan tu mujhe utha kar bahon me dharti pe bichha de
sajan tu mujhe utha kar bahon me dharti pe bichha de
chadh jaaye ahsan tera main dab jaaun
jiwan bhar na ubhrun
sajan tu mujhe utha kar baahon me dharti pe bichha de
chadh jaye ahsan tera main dab jaaun
jiwan bhar na ubhrun

pani se nirmal kya hai, suraj se ujla kya
dharti se bhari kya hai, kajal se kala kya
pani se nirmal pyar hai, suraj se ujla sajan
bhari dharti se bhi tera ruthna
kajal se kali raat judai na bhayi
sajan tu mujhe utha kar bahon me dharti pe bichha de
chadh jaye ahsan tera main dab jaaun
jiwan bhar na ubhrun

fulo se khushbu kyu hai, jalti ye shamma kyu hai
patto ki in aankho me shabnam ke aansu kyu hai
fulo se khushbu kyu hai, jalti ye shamma kyu hai
patto ki in aankho me shabnam ke aansu kyu hai
phul khila bhare ke liye
parwane khatir shamma
ye nahi paheli janu mera pyar hai
ye aansu nahi mera ikrar hai, pyar hai
sajan tu mujhe utha kar baahon me dharti pe bichha de
chadh jaye ahsan tera main dab jaaun
jiwan bhar na ubhrun
sajan tu mujhe utha kar, dharti pe bichha de
dab jaaun, na ubhrun
sajan tu mujhe utha kar, dharti pe bichha de
dab jaaun, na ubhrun

My love, my love, my love,
My love, my love, my love,
Beloved, lift me, in your arms enfold,
And on the earth, let my story be told.
Beloved, lift me, in your arms enfold,
And on the earth, let my story be told.
May I be crushed by your embrace,
And never again find my space.

What is purer than water's flow?
What brighter than the sun's warm glow?
Heavier than earth, what weighs us down?
Darker than kohl, what wears a frown?
Purer than water, love's soft grace,
Brighter than sun, my lover's face.
Heavier than the world, your turning away,
Like kohl, the darkness of night's cruel day.
Beloved, lift me, in your arms enfold,
And on the earth, let my story be told.
May I be crushed by your embrace,
And never again find my space.

Why do flowers hold their perfume near?
Why does the candle flame burn clear?
Why do the leaves, in tear-stained eyes,
Weep dewdrops from the weeping skies?
Flowers bloom for the buzzing bee,
The candle burns for ecstasy.
This is no riddle, my love, you see,
This is my love, my destiny.
These are not tears, but an oath so true,
My darling, my love, it's all for you.
Beloved, lift me, in your arms enfold,
And on the earth, let my story be told.
May I be crushed by your embrace,
And never again find my space.
Beloved, lift me, on the earth, let me lie,
Crushed, in this moment, never to fly.
Beloved, lift me, on the earth, let me lie,
Crushed, in this moment, never to fly.
