IF SHE LOOKS ME IN THE EYE, I’LL ASK HER ABOUT LOVE’S RESULT,

IF SHE LOOKS ME IN THE EYE, I’LL ASK HER ABOUT LOVE’S RESULT,
nazar jhukaayee toh, Khaali, salaam, kar loongaa,
IF SHE LOOKS DOWN, I’LL ONLY GREET HER,

IN CASE OF A DEFEAT, I’LL PUT IT DOWN TO MY NAME,
tumhaaree zulf ke, saaye me.n shaam, kar loonga
UNDER THE SHADE OF YOUR TRESS, I’LL PASS THE EVENING,
safar ik ‘umr kaa, pal me.n tamaam, kar loonga…
THE JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME, I’LL COMPLETE IN AN INSTANT…
