uthi hai jo sharmeli kajraari aankhe
to suraj ki lau tharthrane lagi hai
wo sayaro ka nagma
dhoom uski taraano me
awaaj uski aisi
ras ghol de kaano me
kashmir ki waadi me
kashmir ki waadi me
beparda jo nikle ho
kya aag lgaoge
barfeeli chataano me
muthi hai jo sharmeli kajraari aankhe
to suraj ki lau tharthraane lagi hai
jo sar se gira hain ye
rangeen aanchal
haya in nazaaro ko aane lagi hai
tujhe lag na jaaye nazar hamnasi
sanam tera chehra bada dilnashi

sawaari gayi hogi jab teri julphe
udi hogi lakho fristo ki neende
usne rukh se hata ke baalo ko
raasta dediya uzzalo ko
aur ek hlki si muskuraat se
ek hlki si muskurat se
usne hal krdiya sawaalo ko
sawaari gayi hogi jab teri julphe
udhi hogi lakho faristo ki neende
banaye gaye hoge jab hoth tere
kai saal nikle naa hoge sawere
qayamat jagaati hai teri jami
sanam tera chehra bada dilnashi
sanam tera chehra bada dilnashi
khuda kam banata hai aise haseen
sanam tera chehra bada dilnashi.

Your face, oh beloved, a heart's delight,
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's delight,
God seldom fashions beauty so bright.
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's delight,
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's delight,
God seldom fashions beauty so bright.
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's delight.

Those shy, kohl-lined eyes, as they softly gleam,
The sun itself begins to softly teem.
A poet's song, a whispered, vibrant plea,
Echoing in melodies, wild and free.
A voice so sweet, a nectar to the ear,
A whispered secret, banishing all fear.
In Kashmir's valley, a vision unfolds,
In Kashmir's valley, a story it holds,
Unveiled, you emerge, a radiant fire,
To melt the ice on peaks that climb higher.
Those shy, kohl-lined eyes, as they softly gleam,
The sun itself begins to softly teem.
When from your head, the vibrant veil descends,
Modesty graces all, the vista transcends.
May no evil eye ever dim your grace,
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's embrace.

As your tresses dance, a cascade of night,
A million angels lose their peaceful light.
She brushed aside the dark, silken strands,
And cleared the path for light to expand.
And with a smile, subtle, and so light,
And with a smile, subtle, and so light,
She solved all riddles, banished endless night.
As your tresses dance, a cascade of night,
A million angels lose their peaceful light.
When your lips were formed, a perfect art,
How many years did dawn refuse to start?
Your presence stirs a final, fiery plea,
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's decree.
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's delight,
God seldom fashions beauty so bright.
Your face, oh beloved, a heart's delight.
