Tere chehre se
nazar naheė haṭtee
Nazaare ham kyaa dekhė
Tujhe milke bhee
pyaas naheė ghaṭtee
Nazaare ham kyaa dekhė
Pighle badan teree taptee nigaahȯ se
Sholȯ kee aȧch aaye barfeelee raahȯ se
Lage kadmȯse
aag lipaṭ tee
Nazaare ham kyaa dekhė
Rangȯ kee barkhaa hai
khushboo kaa saath hai
Kisko pataa hai ab
din hai ke raat hai
Lage duniyaa hee aaj simaṭtee
Nazaare ham kyaa dekhė
Palkȯ pe phailaa
teree palkȯ kaa saaya hai
Chehre mė tere meraa
chehraa chhupaayaa hai
Tere jalvȯ kee
dhoȯnd naheė chhaṭtee
Nazaare ham kyaa dekhė
How can I enjoy the scenery when I cannot take my eyes off your beautiful face? Even after having met you, my thirst is so unfulfilled.
I feel like my body is melting when you look at me. It is as though the heat of flames approaches the snow-laden roads. Little by little I am becoming wrapped in this heat.
A shower of perfumed colors surrounds us, keeping us in a daze, unaware whether it is day or night. It feels like the entire world is within me! The shadows of your lashes spread across mine, your face is hiding mine within. This search for your beauty will never ease.
Kabhi Kabhie (1976); Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar
