Her eyes blinking shut, blinking open, blinking shut, Allah Allah,

HOY...UN KE NAZAR KA JHUKNA JHUK KE UTHNA UTH KE PHIR JHUK JAANA ALLAH ALLAH
O her eyes blinking shut, blinking open, blinking shut, Allah Allah,


MAUJE.N TarAP RAHI HAIN, DARYA MEIN MAT NAHAAO,
The Waves are Restless, Bathe not in the Sea,

MAUJE.N TarAP RAHI HAIN, DARYA MEIN MAT NAHAAO,
The Waves are Restless, Bathe not in the Sea,

PAANI MEIN O HASEENA, TUM AAG MAT LAGAAO
Don’t Set the Water on Fire O Beautiful,

SHOLA BADAN SE LAPKA, O LAPKA
A flame surged from the Body, O Surged....

SHOLA BADAN SE LAPKA TAUBA TAUBA UTHNE LAGA DUAN SA, ALLAH ALLAH
A flame surged from the Body, Fie, Fie, Smoke-like is rising, Allah Allah

KYA JALWA KYA NAZAARA, MERI AANKHON NE DEKHA ALLAH ALLAH
What a Display, What a Sight, my Eyes have beheld – Allah, Allah

UN KE NAZAR KA JHUKNA JHUK KE UTHNA UTH KE PHIR JHUK JAANA ALLAH ALLAH
Her eyes blinking shut, blinking open, blinking shut, Allah Allah,


HAATHON KO YUN UTHA KE, CHEHRA CHHUPA LIYA HAI
Raising the hands thus you’ve covered your face,

HAATHON KO YUN UTHA KE, CHEHRA CHHUPA LIYA HAI
Raising the hands thus you’ve covered your face,

BAALON KO YU.N GIRA KE, PATHTHA* BANA LIYA
Letting down the hair thus you’ve made a fan,

MUSHKIL HAI PHIR BHI CHHUPNA O CHHUPNA
Difficult even then it’s to hide, O To Hide,

MUSHKIL HAI, PHIR BHI CHHUPNA
Difficult even then it’s to hide,

CHHUP KAR CHALNA, CHALTE CHALTE RUKNA ALLAH ALLAH,
To walk hidden, To pause while Walking Allah Allah.

KYA JALWA KYA NAZAARA MERI AANKHON NE DEKHA, ALLAH ALLAH
What a Display, What a Sight, my Eyes have beheld – Allah, Allah

HO HO...UN KE NAZAR KA JHUKNA JHUK KE UTHNA UTH KE PHIR JHUK JAANA ALLAH ALLAH
O..O Her eyes blinking shut, blinking open, blinking shut, Allah Allah,
