| aur tum vahaa.n the tum vahaa.n the tum vahaa.n the | And you were there... |
| jhilmilaate jagmagaate khushiyo.n me.n jhuumkar | shining, sparkling, swaying in happiness, |

| aur iska piya sa.ng laa'ega |
and bring with it her lover. |
| o piya ab aa jaa re mere piya | My love, come to me now, my love |
