Ye shaam mastaanee

Ye shaam mastaanee
madhosh kiye jaaye
Mujhe ḍor koee kheėche
teree or liye jaaye

Ḍoor rahatee hai too
mere paas aatee naheė
Hoṭhȯ pe tere,
kabhee pyaas aatee naheė
aisaa lage, jaise ki too
ha.Nsake zahar koee piye jaaye

Baat jab mȧi karoȯ
mujhe rok detee hai kyȯ
Teree meeṭhee nazar
mujhe ṭok detee hai kyȯ
Teree hayaa, teree sharam
teree qasam mere hȯṭh siye jaaye

Ek ruṭhee huee
taqadeer jaise koee
Khaamosh aise hai too
tasveer jaise koee
Teree nazar, banke zubaȧ
lekin tere paigaam diye jaaye

Let this evening be fun and intoxicating. Please let someone pull the strings so that I can be pulled towards you.

You stay away from me and are never with me, your lips are alluring, and yet, looking at your smile is like drinking poison.

Why do you stop me whenever I talk? Your sweet eyes make me stop, why? Your shyness holds such promise for me.

Like an unfortunate destiny, you are. Silent like a beautiful picture and yet your eyes speak volumes. 

Kati Patang (1970); Kishore Kumar
