sambhaalaa hai maine bahut apane dil ko
jubaa par teraa phir bhi naam aa rahaa hai
jahaa raaj koi chhupaayaa na jaae
muhabbat me aisaa mukaam aa rahaa hai
sambhaalaa hai maine

banaayaa hai maine tujhe apanaa saathi
rahe kis tarah phir mere hosh baaki
nazar yu bahakane lagi hai ki jaise
mere saamane koi jaam aa rahaa hai
sambhaalaa hai maine

ye zulfo ke baadal ghanere ghanere
mere baajuo par jo tune bikhere
mai samajhaa ki jaise meri dhadakano ko
teri dhadakano kaa payaam aa rahaa hai
sambhaalaa hai maine

I have guarded my heart, I have tried,
Yet your name escapes, slips my tongue, wide.
Where secrets dissolve, unveiled and bare,
Love's truest stage, I now must share.
I have guarded my heart.

I have made you my companion, near,
How can my senses stay ever clear?
My gaze now wanders, a restless flight,
As a chalice of bliss fills my sight.
I have guarded my heart.

These tresses, dark clouds, a shadowed keep,
You scattered them on my arms, asleep.
I felt my own pulse, a rhythmic plea,
Your heartbeat's message, embracing me.
I have guarded my heart.
