zara sambhal ke beta jamura tu nach mai chhedu tamura
rup nirala bhar ke aaya aaj koi diwana
aji aaj koi diwana humse na puchho ha
humse na puchho aap samjh lo
najuk hai afsana

duniya ki nazro se aashiq duniya ki nazro se aashiq
pas bhi hai aur dur bhi hai pas bhi hai aur dur bhi hai

koi nahi majburi lekin kahne ko majbur bhi hai
yaad me teri dhund liya hai milne ka ye bahana
milne ka ye bahana humse na puchho aap samjh lo
humse na puchho aap samjh lonajuk hai afsana

kar lo chhupkar pyar ki bate kar lo chhupkar pyar ki bate
khul nahi jaye bhed kahi o khul nahi jaye bhed kahi

aaj lage hai pyar ke mele mehfil to malum nahi
dil ki lagi ko shama hi jane kya jane parwana
aji kya jane parwana humse na puchho aap samjh lo
humse na puchho aap samjh lo najuk hai afsana

Dance carefully, son, little juggler, as I pluck the strings of my lute,
A wondrous form has arrived today, a lover consumed by the flame.
Oh, today, a lover has come, don't question us, no,
Just understand, just understand,
the tale is delicate.

From the world's gaze, the lover, from the world's gaze, the lover,
is both near and far, both near and far.

There is no true constraint, yet we are bound in a way,
In your memory, I have found this pretext for our meeting.
This pretext for our meeting, don't question us, just understand,
Don't question us, just understand, the tale is delicate.

Whisper sweet nothings, steal secret words of love,
Lest the hidden truth should be revealed, oh, lest it be revealed.

Today, a fair of love unfolds, the gathering unaware,
Only the candle knows the heart's yearning, what does the moth know?
Oh, what does the moth know? Don't question us, just understand,
Don't question us, just understand, the tale is delicate.
