Just by casting a glance -- Amir Khusrau

You stole me just by casting a glance,
You made me drunk in love,
You made me loony in love,
Just by casting a glance.
You hold my fair arms,
You hold my green bangles,
You take my life,
Just by casting a glance.

O my clothes-dyer,
You have dyed me in your love,
Just by casting a glance.

I give myself to you, O Nijam,
You made me yours
Just by casting a glance.

Original in Hindi

Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Prem bhatee ka madhva pilaikay
Matvali kar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Gori gori bayyan, hari hari churiyan
Bayyan pakar dhar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Bal bal jaaon mein toray rang rajwa
Apni see kar leeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Khusrau Nijaam kay bal bal jayyiye
Mohay Suhaagan keeni ray mosay naina milaikay
Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay
