teri nigaaho ne hame maar daala
hame maar daala
pahale hi dil ko kyun naa sambhaala
kyun naa sambhaala
teri nigaaho ne hame maar daala
hame maar daala

kahe uthaaye gori bhaari ghagariya
balakha naa jaaye tori patali kamariya
tere hi kaaran uthaayi ghagariya
pyaasa naa rah jaaye mora savariya
aisi adaao ne hame maar daala
hame maar daala
pahale hi dil ko kyun naa sambhaala
kyun naa sambhaala

kitni wo payari milan ki ghadi thi
baato hi baato me prit phir bahi thi
kya jaane aage wo manjil khadi thi
wahi kahin chupke judaayi khadi thi
pahale hi dil ko kyun naa sambhaala
kyun naa sambhaala
teri nigaaho ne hame maar daala
hame maar daala

o mere saathi saathi idhar toh jara aana
kitana hai pyaar hame ye to bataana
raaje mohabbat hai kitana suhaana
jinko bataana unhi se chhupana
mithi sajaao ne hame maar daala
hame maar daala
teri nigaaho ne hame maar daala
hame maar daala
pahale hi dil ko kyun naa sambhaala
kyun naa sambhaala

Your eyes, they slew us utterly,
They struck us down.
Why did you not guard your heart,
Why not, oh why?
Your eyes, they slew us utterly,
They struck us down.

Why, fair maiden, lift the heavy pitcher?
Lest your slender waist should bend and sway.
For your sake alone I lift the pitcher,
Lest my beloved should thirst this day.
Such charms, they slew us utterly,
They struck us down.
Why did you not guard your heart,
Why not, oh why?

How sweet the hour of our meeting,
In whispered words, love did stream forth then.
Who knew what fate ahead was waiting,
That separation hid itself within.
Why did you not guard your heart,
Why not, oh why?
Your eyes, they slew us utterly,
They struck us down.

O my companion, friend, come hither,
Tell us the measure of this love we bear.
How sweet the secrets of affection,
To hide them from those you hold so dear.
These sweet torments, they slew us utterly,
They struck us down.
Your eyes, they slew us utterly,
They struck us down.
Why did you not guard your heart,
Why not, oh why?
