nain so nain naahii.n milaao
dekhat suurat aavat laaj, sai.nyaa.N
pyaar se pyaar aake sajaao
madhur milan gaavat aaj, guiyaa.N
nain so nain ...
khai.ncho kamaan maaro jii baaN
rut hai javaan o mere praaN
[spoken] "ruk kyo.n gaye?"
tumane chorii kar lii kamaan
kaise maruu.N priit kaa baaN, guiyaa.N
nain so nain ...
niile gagan pe jhuume.nge aaj
baadal kaa pyaar dekhe.nge aaj
[spoken] "samajhaa!" "kyaa?"
baadal naiyaa hai bijurii patavaar
ham\-tum chal de.n duniyaa ke paar, guiyaa.N
nain so nain ...
Here is the middle stanza of the song:
rim jhim jhim gaaye jharano.n kii dhaar
dil ko lubhaaye koyal pukaar
[spoken] "nahii.n!" "to phir?"
jharano.n kii dhaaro.n me.n teraa sangiit
gaaye koyal teraa hii giit, guiyaa.N
nain so nain ...
Interspersed between the stanzas are some lovely alaaps, both choric and
by the lead singers. |
