zalim teri ankho ne kya cheez pila di hai
zalim teri ankho ne kya cheez pila di hai
ulfat ke siva sari duniya hi bhula di hai

bas ek nazar dekha aur loot liya dil ko
bas ek nazar dekha aur loot liya dil ko
lutkar bhi mere dil ne khush hoke dua di hai

jab se tujhe dekha hai kuch hosh nahi mujhko
jab se tujhe dekha hai kuch hosh nahi mujhko
har cheez zamane ki har cheez zamane ki
nazro se gira di hai zalim teri ankho ne
kya cheez pila di hai

dil pyaar kare jisse wo dard diya dil ko
dil pyaar kare jisse wo dard diya dil ko
jalne me maza aaye jalne me maza aaye
wo aag laga di hai

Your eyes, oh tyrant, what draught have they poured,
Your eyes, oh tyrant, what potion outpoured?
Love's embrace alone, all else ignored.

One glance, a thief, stole my heart's core,
One glance, a thief, my life tore.
Yet, robbed, my heart blessed and did adore.

Since you I've known, my senses cease,
Since you I've known, my inner peace
Lost in the world's maze.
All else dismissed, from sight released,
Your eyes, oh tyrant, what draught have they poured?

The heart's desire, the pain it breeds,
The heart's desire, the painful needs,
A fire lit, where burning succeeds.
