Gulaabi akhe jo teri dekhee

Gulaabi ȧakhė jo teree dekhee
Sharabee ye dil ho gayaa
Sambhaalo mujhko O mere yarȯ
Sambhalnaa mushkil ho gayaa

Dil mė mere khwaab tere
Bas tere jaise ho deewar pe
Tujhpe fida mȧinkyoȯ huaa
Aata hai gussa mujhe pyaar pe
Mȯi luṭ gaya maanke dil ka kahaa
Mȯi kahėė thaa naa rahaa
Kyaa kahoȯ mȧi dilrubaa
Buraa ye jaadu teri aankhon kaa
Yeh meraa kaatil ho gayaa
Gulaabi ȧakhė jo teree dekhee…

Maine sadaa chaahaa yehee
Daaman bachaa loȯ haseenȯ se mȧi
Teree kasam khvabȯ mė bhee
Bachta fidaa naazneenȯ se mȧi
Tauba magar mil gayee tujhse nazar
Mil gayaa dard-e-jigar
Sun zaraa o bekhabaar
Zaraa sa haske jo dekhaa tune
Mai teraa bismil ho gayaa
Gulaabi ȧakhė jo teree dekhee

When I saw your rosy eyes my heart became intoxicated. Take care of me, my friend, caring for myself has been hard.

I dream of you that you could be at the door, Oh why am I overcome by my feelings for you? I am annoyed at this love that I feel. I am lost and listless by listening to my own heart. What do I say, my love? The magic of your eyes has become the destroyer of my peace of mind.

I have always tried to stay away from all the allure of beautiful girls. Even in my dreams, I stay away from these beauties. But O dear, I cast my eyes on you and had this sweet pain. Do listen to me! Look at me with a smile. I am all yours.

Movie: The Train, 1970; Singer: Mohammad Rafi
