teri zulfo ke saaye me zeena hai ji, ji
zeena hai ji
tere aankho ke sagar ko pina hai ji, ji

To dwell within your tresses, to live, yes, to live,
To drink the ocean of your eyes, to drink, yes, to drink.
To dwell within your tresses, to live, yes, to live.

Who beckons with a hidden sign, a sign to me?
Whose restless yearnings call to me, call out to me?
Whose vessel sinks upon the shore, oh, yes,
Whose vessel sinks upon the shore, alas, the vessel sinks?
To drink the ocean of your eyes, to drink, yes, to drink.

The moon, beholding you, blushed and hid in clouds,
And whispered, what did it say?
“A beauty has descended from the sky,” truly,
“A beauty has descended from the sky,” a beauty divine.
To drink the ocean of your eyes, to drink, yes, to drink.

To dwell within your tresses, to live, yes, to live,
Whose lament, steeped in sorrow, rings out, laments?
Who is ruined in love's winding streets, destroyed?
Whose heart's gem wanders lost, oh yes,
Whose heart's gem wanders lost, alas, the gem is lost?

To drink the ocean of your eyes, to drink, yes, to drink.
To dwell within your tresses, to live, yes, to live.
