ye chehra ye zulfe jadu sa kar rahe hai
tauba tauba aa tauba tauba
tauba tauba tauba tauba
kandho me resham si kulfo ke ye saye
haye haye haye re jaan chali jaye
tauba tauba tauba tauba tauba tauba
aise na dekho kasam se
sharam se aankh jhuk jaye
haye re sans ruk jaye
tauba tauba tauba tauba

ye chehra ye palke ye aabru
jadu sa kar rahe hai jadu sa kar rahe hai
rahne do chhodo bhi jane do
hum tum se dar rahe hai
hum tum se dar rahe hai
kajal ki dhar se kisi ka sar na kat jaye
tauba tauba tauba tauba

tanhayi me milna rashte
me kyu hamko chedte ho kyu hamko chedte ho
darte ho dunia se aashik se
kyu ankhe ferte ho kyu ankhe ferte ho
dekho tamasha mohabbat na ban jaye
tauba tauba tauba tauba
aise na dekho kasam se
sharam se aankh jhuk jaye
haye re sans ruk jaye
tauba tauba tauba tauba
tauba tauba tauba tauba

This face, these locks, they weave a spell,
A marvel, a marvel, a blessed farewell.
A shadow of silk, on shoulders so fair,
Alas, my soul takes flight, beyond compare.
Aversion, aversion, aversion's plea.

Do not gaze so, I swear it is true,
My eyes, in shame, will bow to you.
My breath shall cease, my spirit undone,
Aversion, aversion, till life is outrun.

This face, these lashes, these arched brows,
They work a spell, they enchant us now.
Let it be, leave it, let it all cease,
I fear you, I fear you, find my release.
From kohl's dark blade, may no head be felled,
Aversion, aversion, forever held.

In solitude's embrace, the paths we tread,
Why do you tease, why, torment instead?
You fear the world, you fear the lover's art,
Why turn your eyes, and tear my heart?
Behold the spectacle, lest love arise,
Aversion, aversion, to veiled disguise.
Do not gaze so, I swear it is true,
My eyes, in shame, will bow to you.
My breath shall cease, my spirit undone,
Aversion, aversion, till life is outrun.
Aversion, aversion, forever held.
