jab yaar ne uThā kar zulfoñ ke baal bāñdhe

tab maiñ ne apne dil meñ lākhoñ ḳhayāl bāñdhe

When my beloved raised her arms to gather up her tresses

A million desires gathered in my heart and got tied up in a tangle.

tab main ne apne dil mein lakhon KHayal bandhe

When my beloved raised her arms to gather up her tresses

A million desires gathered in my heart and got tied up in a tangle.
