Mujhe chhoo rahee hȧi

Mujhe chhoo rahee hȧi
teree garm saȧse
Mere raat aur din
mahkne lage hȧi

Teree narm saȧso ne
aise chhuaa hȧi
Ke mere to paȧv
behkne lage hȧi

Labo se agar tum
bulaa naa sako tum
Nigaaho se tum naam
lekar bulaa lo

Tumharee nigaahe
bahut boltee hȧi
Zaraa apnee aȧkho pe
palke giraa do
Mujhe chhoo rahee hȧi …

Pataa chal gayaa hȧi
ke manzil kahaȧ hȧi
Chalo dil ke lambe
safar pe chalenge

Safar khatam kar denge
hum to vahee par
Jahaȧ tak tumhaare
kadam le chalenge
Mujhe chhoo rahee hȧi …

Your warm breath is touching me in such a way that my days and nights are becoming fragrant.

Your soft breath has touched me in such a way that my feet are slipping away.

If you are unable to call me aloud, then say my name with your eyes and they will call me.

Your eyes speak volumes. Please lower your glance.

We have found where our destination lies. Let us embark on the long journey of the heart.

I will end the journey at that place at which your footsteps take me.

Swayamvar (1980); Mohammad Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
