Sawali surathiya
Mohani moorathiya
Dekkan dekhan jab jaun mai
Phisalphisalke aank0 se tere
Mann mein hi bas jaun main
Humming …
Ushm thi dilpan hashmi thi jana
Ushm thi dilpan hashmi thi jana
Jaanaa jaanaa dilban
Sawali surathiya
Mohani moorathiya
Dekkan dekhan jab jaun mai
Phisalphisalke aank0 se tere
Mann mein hi bas jaun main
Humming …
De dun jab ye haathumere
In haathom me
Dhil ki kasthi
Lag jaati hai ki naron pe
De dun jab ye haathumere
In haathom me
Dhil ki kasthi
Lag jaati hai ki naron pe
Kya kashti kya sahil
Kya chattano main
Kya kasthi kya sahil
Kya chattano main
Doob kerehne mujhkoteri
Baahon mai
Sawali surathiya
Mohani moorathiya
Dekkan dekhan jab jaun mai
Paastere chali aaun mein
Paastere chali aaun mein
Tum binajee napaun me
Passtere chali aaun main
Ushm thi dilban hasmi thi jana
Jana jana
Your dusky, lovely face
Your enchanting, captivating form
Whenever I look at you
Slipping gently through your eyes
I want to settle into your heart
[Humming]
Oh beloved of my heart, my dearest
Oh beloved of my heart, my dearest
My love, my love, my sweetheart
Your dusky, lovely face
Your enchanting, captivating form
Whenever I look at you
Slipping gently through your eyes
I want to settle into your heart
[Humming]
Whenever I place these hands of mine
Into these hands of yours
The boat of my heart
Finds its way to the shore
Whenever I place these hands of mine
Into these hands of yours
The boat of my heart
Finds its way to the shore
What does a boat or a shore matter,
Or what do the rocks matter?
What does a boat or a shore matter,
Or what do the rocks matter?
All I want is to drown and stay forever
Wrapped in your arms
Your dusky, lovely face
Your enchanting, captivating form
Whenever I look at you
I come running close to you
I come running close to you
I cannot live without you
I come running close to you
Oh beloved of my heart, my dearest
My love, my love
