Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:

tasveer banaataa hoo.n teree, Khoon-e-jigar se,
I’M DRAWING YOUR PICTURE WITH HEART’S BLOOD,

Khoon-e-jigar se,
WITH HEART’S BLOOD,

dekhaa hai tujhe, maine muhaabat kee nazar se arrey,
O I’VE LOOKED AT YOU WITH A LOVING GLANCE!

muhabbat kee nazar se,
WITH A LOVING GLANCE,

tasveer banaataa hoo.n teree Khoon-e-jigar se,
I’M DRAWING YOUR PICTURE WITH  HEART’S BLOOD,

Khoon-e-jigar se…
WITH HEART’S BLOOD…

jitne bhee mile rangg voh, sab bhar diye tujh me.n haay,
AS MANY COLOURS AS I FOUND, I USED ‘EM ALL FOR YOU, AH!

bhar diye tujh me.n,
USED ‘EM FOR YOU…

ik rangg-e-wafaa aur hai
THERE’S ANOTHER COLOUR - OF CONSTANCY,

laaoon voh kidhar se arrey,
O WHENCE SHOULD I GET THAT!

laaoon voh kidhar se,
WHENCE SHOULD I GET THAT?

tasveer banaataa hoo.n teree, Khoon-e-jigar se,
I’M DRAWING YOUR PICTURE WITH HEART’S BLOOD,

Khoon-e-jigar se…
WITH HEART’S BLOOD….


saawan teree zulfo.n se ghaTaa maang ke laayaa haay,
OH! THE MONSOON’S BORROWED THE CLOUD FROM YOUR TRESSES,

maang ke laayaa,
HAS BORROWED…

bijlee ne churaayee, hai ta.dap teree nazar se arrey
THE LIGHTNING’S STOLEN THE QUIVER FROM YOUR GLANCE,

ta.dap teree nazar se,
THE QUIVER FROM YOUR GLANCE…


mai.n dil me.n bulaa kar tujhe, rukhsat naa karoongaa haay,
AFTER INVITING YOU TO MY HEART I WON’T DISMISS YOU, OH!

rukhsat naa karoongaa,
I WON’T DISMISS YOU,

mushkil hai teraa lauT ke jaanaa mere ghar se arrey,
O ‘TIS DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO RETURN FROM MY HOME!

jaanaa mere ghar se,
TO RETURN FROM MY HOME,

tasveer banaataa hoo.n teree, Khoon-e-jigar se,
I’M DRAWING YOUR PICTURE WITH HEART’S BLOOD,

Khoon-e-jigar se.
WITH HEART’S BLOOD.
