tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya
wo rup maine paya jaha me mohabbat kya hai
diwano ko maine sikhlaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya

tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya
wo dil maine paya jaha me mohabbat kya hai
hasino ko maine sikhlaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya

dukh me sahara hai yahi meri najuk bahe
mere gore mukhde se jagmag jindagi ki rahe
dukh me sahara yahi meri najuk bahe
mere gore mukhde se jagmag jindagi ki rahe
ho ke maine bhi har ek dil ka charag jalaya

jaha me mohabbat kya hai
diwano ko maine sikhlaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya
wo dil maine paya jaha me mohabbat kya hai
hasino ko maine sikhlaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya

aasu hamare hai tumhare gale motiyo ka gahna
aahe bhari humne to kare hue tere naina
aasu hamare hai tumhare gale motiyo ka gahna
aahe bhari humne to kare hue gori tere naina
aye he ke har jadu adao ka hai maine jagaya
jaha me mohabbat kya hai hasino ko maine sikhlaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya
wo rup maine paya jaha me mohabbat kya hai
diwano ko maine sikhlaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya
tum to kya ho ji tum to ho meri chaya

You are but the echo of my being,
You are but the echo of my being.
I found the form that showed the world what love is,
And taught the madmen how to see.
You are but the echo of my being.

You are but the echo of my being,
You are but the echo of my being.
I found the heart that knew what love is,
And taught the beauties how to be.
You are but the echo of my being.

In sorrow, these frail arms offer comfort,
My radiant face illuminates life's path.
In sorrow, these frail arms offer comfort,
My radiant face illuminates life's path.
And I, too, have kindled every heart's lamp.

What love is to the world,
I taught the madmen.
You are but the echo of my being.
I found the heart that knew what love is,
And taught the beauties how to be.
You are but the echo of my being.

Your throat, adorned, holds our tears as pearls,
Our sighs have darkened your eyes, fair one.
Your throat, adorned, holds our tears as pearls,
Our sighs have darkened your eyes, fair one.
And I have awakened every art, every spell.

What love is, I taught the beauties.
You are but the echo of my being.
I found the form that showed the world what love is,
And taught the madmen how to see.
You are but the echo of my being.
You are but the echo of my being.
