In Hindi:
छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
प्रेम भटी का मदवा पिलाइके
मतवारी कर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
गोरी गोरी बईयाँ, हरी हरी चूड़ियाँ
बईयाँ पकड़ धर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
बल बल जाऊं मैं तोरे रंग रजवा
अपनी सी रंग दीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
खुसरो निजाम के बल बल जाए
मोहे सुहागन कीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके
In Urdu:
چھاپ تلک سب چھینی رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
بات اگم کہہ دینا رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
پریم بھٹی کا مدھوا پلائیکے ایس
متوارے کر لينهي رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
گوری گوری بييا ، ہری ہری چوڑیاں
بييا پکڑ ہر لينهي رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
بل بل جاؤں میں تورے رنگ رجوا
آپ کی سی رنگ دينهي رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
خسرونظام بل بل جائے
موهے سهاگن کہ ينهي رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
چھاپ تلک سب چھینی رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
بات عجب کہہ دینا رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے ایس
Chaāp tilak sab chhīnī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt agam keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike
Prem bhaṭī kā madhvā pilāike
Matvālī kar līnhī re mose nainā milāike
Gorī gorī baīyān, harī harī chuṛiyān
baīyān pakaṛ har līnhī re mose nainā milāike
Bal bal jāūn main tore rang rajvā
Apnī sī rang dinhī re mose nainā milāike
Khusro nijaam ke bal bal jaiye
Mohe suhāgan kīnhī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt ajab keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike
Translation:
You've taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance.
You've said the unknown, by just a glance.
By making me drink the wine from the love of devotion
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
My fair, delicate wrists with green bangles in them,
Have been taken off by you with just a glance.
I give my life to you, Oh my cloth-dyer,
You've dyed me in yourself, by just a glance.
I give my whole life to you Oh, Nizam,
You've made me your bride, by just a glance.
You've said the wonder, by just a glance.
