tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi
mere sajna sun teri khata ki nahi hai mafi
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi
tujhe zinda kaise chodu hogi nainsafi
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi

mai kaun hu ye jaan le achi tarah
pahchan le pahle haye
pahle kabhi dekha to hai ye kah de itna man le
julfe bhi hai lahrayi si
aankhe bhi hai sharmayi si
ye husn par bakpan uspe kamar balkhayi si
or fir mar mitne ko ye bali umar hai kafi
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi
mere sajna sun teri khata ki nahi mafi
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi

o raat ke mehman aa dil me
hai kya arman aa jo ha
jo baat kar duswar ki wo aaj hai asaan
tere gale lag jaungi kaam apna bhi kar jaungi
taskin bhi dungi tujhe dil bhi tera tadpaungi
tere sitam aaj bhi dil me mere asar hai baki
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi
mere sajna sun teri khata ki nahi hai mafi
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi
tujhe zinda kaise chodu hogi nainsafi
tujhe khanjar se kya maru ek nazar hai kafi

Why wound you with a blade, when a glance will do?
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.
My love, hear this, for your transgression, no pardon is due.
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.
How to leave you living? Such injustice I'd pursue.
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.

Know well who I am, let it sink into your heart,
Recognize me now, from the very start.
Have you never seen me? Say yes, and play your part.
My tresses sway, a captivating art,
My eyes, they blush, a brand new start.
This beauty, this teasing, this curve of waist that will impart,
And then to die for love, a tender age that will impart.
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.
My love, hear this, for your transgression, no pardon is due.
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.

O, guest of the night, come into my heart's keep,
What desires now, come to me in your sleep?
The impossible wish, today you can reap.
I'll embrace you, my love, a promise I will keep,
I'll soothe you, and break your heart, your soul I'll weep.
Your cruelties linger, in my heart, they still creep.
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.
My love, hear this, for your transgression, no pardon is due.
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.
How to leave you living? Such injustice I'd pursue.
Why wound you with a blade, a mere glance will see you through.
