Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:


tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n,
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE,

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n,
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE,

saamne tuu hai, tujhe dekh ke ab kyaa dekhoo.n,
YOU’RE BEFORE ME, NOW HAVING SEEN YOU WHAT ELSE SHOULD I SEE,

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n...
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE...


raat zulfo.n me.n teree, din tere rukhsaaro.n me.n,
THE NIGHT’S IN YOUR TRESSES; THE DAY’S IN YOUR FACE,

raat zulfo.n me.n teree, din tere rukhsaaro.n me.n,
THE NIGHT’S IN YOUR TRESSES; THE DAY’S IN YOUR FACE,

ek hee waqt pe, din-raat kaa jalvaa dekhoo.n,
AT THE SAME TIME THE MANIFESTATION OF DAY AND NIGHT WILL I SEE,

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE,

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE...


tere jalwo.n kee, bahaare.n bhee tamaashaaee hai.n
EVEN THE SPRING-BLOSSOMS ARE THE SPECTATOR OF YOUR SPLENDOUR,

mai.n bhee dil thaam ke kab tak yeh tamaashaa dekhoo.n,
CLUTCHING MY HEART, FOR HOW LONG THIS SPECTACLE SHOULD I SEE,

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE,

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n,
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE...

dekhtaa hoo.n ke, nazaare bhee tujhe dekhte hai.n,
I OBSERVE THAT EVEN THE SIGHTS PERCEIVE YOU VISUALLY,

dekhtaa hoo.n ke, nazaare bhee tujhe dekhte hai.n,
I OBSERVE THAT EVEN THE SIGHTS PERCEIVE YOU VISUALLY,

tuu hee batlaa de ke mai.n kiskaa nazaaraa dekhoo.n,
YOU ONLY TELL ME, WHICH SIGHT SHOULD I SEE.

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE,

saamne tuu hai, tujhe dekh ke ab kyaa dekhoo.n,
YOU’RE BEFORE ME, NOW HAVING SEEN YOU WHAT ELSE SHOULD I SEE,

tere chehre se, haTe aa.nkh toh dunyaa dekhoo.n...
AS MY GAZE SHIFTS FROM YOUR FACE, THEN THE WORLD WILL I SEE.
NASIR.
