saanso me chandan sa
aankho me kajal sa
hotho pe geeto sa
paanvo me payal sa
sapna mera sapna
pyara sapna sundar sapna

chhalka jo ghadta tha pyar se
bechain firti thi kispe lutau
ik raja rani ki chahat anokhi thi
kisko kahani sunau
ik sukh ko tarsi thi
aanchal ko kore laga de koi daag
sapna mera sapna
pyara sapna mitha sapna
jo kal aankho me tha aaj baaho me hai
mera sapna pyara sapna
mitha sapna mera sapna

Like sandalwood in breath,
Like kohl in eyes, a shadowed wreath.
Like songs upon the lips released,
Like anklets on feet, a joyous feast.
My dream, oh, my dream,
Love's dream, a beautiful gleam.

Love's overflowing, built with care,
Restless, where can I bestow? Where?
A king, a queen, a longing strange,
To whom this tale, this love, arrange?
A comfort craved, a solace deep,
To touch my veil, and stains to sweep.
My dream, oh, my dream,
Lovely dream, a sweet stream.
What yesterday was in the eyes,
Today within my arms it lies.
My dream, oh, my dream,
Sweet dream, my dream.
