aate ho sataane ko,
YOU COME TO TORMENT ME,
jaate ho rulaane ko,
YOU GO AWAY TO MAKE ME WEEP,

WHAT TO SAY OF THIS ARRIVAL,
is jaane ko kyaa kahiye…
WHAT TO SAY OF THIS DEPARTURE!
abhee naa phero nazar, zindagee sa.nwaar toh le.n,
NOW, DON’T AVERT YOUR EYES, SO I MAY ADORN MY LIFE,
ke dil ke sheeshe me.n hamm, aap ko utaar toh le.n,
SO IN THE GOBLET OF MY HEART YOU MAY ABIDE,
abhee naa phero nazar…
NOW, DON’T AVERT YOUR EYES!

FROM THE BRIGHT FACE, LET ME SOME SPLENDOUR STEAL,

SO I MAY ALSO SPEND THE DAYS OF LOVE WITH GLEE,
