Chhāp tilak sab chīnī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt agam keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike
Prem bhaṭī kā madvā 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 kar līnhī re mose nainā milāike
Khusro Nijām ke bal bal jaiye
Mohe suhāgan kīnhī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt adham keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt agam keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike
Prem bhaṭī kā madvā 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 kar līnhī re mose nainā milāike
Khusro Nijām ke bal bal jaiye
Mohe suhāgan kīnhī re mose nainā milāike
Bāt adham keh dīnī re mose nainā milāike
You've taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance.
By making me drink the wine from the distillery of love
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
My fair, delicate wrists with green bangles in them,
Have been held tightly 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, Nijam,
You've made me your bride, by just a glance.
By making me drink the wine from the distillery of love
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
My fair, delicate wrists with green bangles in them,
Have been held tightly 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, Nijam,
You've made me your bride, by just a glance.
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
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

Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay

Chhaap Tilak Sab Chhini Re Lyrics from Aman Ki Asha
(Sargam)
Aa aa aa aa......
Ho o o o o... miyaan
Apni chhab banaayke jo main pi ke paas gayi
Jo chhab dekhi pihu ki toh apni bhul gayi
Chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Ho o o miyaan... aa aa aa aa.....
Chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Ho chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Aa aa tu mila bhi hai, tu mila bhi hai
Tu mila bhi hai, tu juda bhi hai
Tera kya kehna
Tu mila bhi hai, tu
Tu mila bhi hai, tu juda bhi hai, tera kya kehna
Tu sanam bhi hai tu khuda bhi hai, tera kya kehna
Chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Jo tu maange rang ki rangaayi
Jo tu maange rang ki rangaayi
Mora joban girvi rakh le
Chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Aa aa bal bal jaaun main tore rang rajwa
Tore rang, tore rang rajwa
Bal bal jaaun main tore rang rajwa
Tore rang rajwa, tore rang rajwa, tore rang rajwa
Apni si rang dini re mose naina milaaike
Apni si rang dini re mose naina milaaike
Naina milaaike, naina miaayike, naina mi
Naina mein Kutubuddin, naina Alauddin
Naina milaaike, saina chalaaike, naina mein aaike
Naina milaaike, baat adham keh dini re mose naina milaaike
Pi ka baat adham ki, pi ka baat
Pi ka baat adham ki kahan sunan ki naahi
Jo jaane so kahe nahi, jo kahe so jaane nahi
Chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Jo tu maange rang ki rangaayi
Jo tu maange, jo tu maange
Jo tu maange rang ki rangaayi
Mora joban girvi rakh le
Hamari chunariya, piya ki pagariya
Are dono basanti rang de
Rang de Maula rang de
Ali rang de sab ko rang de, rang de, rang de... rang rang
Ho rang de, rang de
Ho prem bhati ka madwa pilaayike
Madwa, madwa pilaayike, prem bhati ka
Prem bhati ka madwa pilaayike, madwa pilaayike....
Matawaari kar dini re mose naina milaayike
Matwaari, ho matwaari kar dini re mose naina milaayike
Khusrow Nijaam ke bal bal jaaiye, bal bal
Bal bal jaaiye, Khusrow Nijaam ke
(Sargam)
Khusrow Nijaam ke, dhan dhan bhaag unke mori sajani
Jin aiso sundar preetam paayo
Khelo re Chishtiyon hori khelon
Hori khelon, hori khelon, hori
Hori hori khelo hori hori khelo
Khaaja Nijaam dhan dhan bhaag unke mori sajani
Jin aiso sundar preetam paayo
Khelo re Chishtiyon hori khelon
Khaaja Nijaamuddin ke bhes mein aayo
O chhaap tilak sab chhini re mose naina milaaike
Naina milaaike, naina milaaike, naina milaaike
I went to my Love as a properly made-up bride but when I saw his visage, I forgot my own.
I gave up my bridal finery when I exchanged glances of love with you.
You are one with me; and you are separate.
You are a lover, you are God as well.
You are truly unique.
If you demand something in return for dyeing my scarf, keep my youth in pawn,
I sacrifice myself, , O'my dyer!
I have merged with you
You have exchanged glances with me O'Kutubuddin! O'Alauddin
Through your glances you have conveyed the message Adam sent to Eve
Adam's difficult message is not a matter of discussion
Through your glances you have conveyed the message Adam sent to Eve
Adam's difficult message is not a matter of discussion
He who knows it, does not talk about it
And he who talks of it does not know it.
Let my headscarf and lover's head gear be dyed in the color of the spring.
By serving the wine of love
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
And he who talks of it does not know it.
Let my headscarf and lover's head gear be dyed in the color of the spring.
By serving the wine of love
You've intoxicated me by just a glance;
You have inherited me through the exchange of glances
Khusrow sacrifices himself on Nijam!
Lucky are those O' my friend, who have got such a graceful lover
Rejoice, O' the followers of Chisti
The redeemer has come in the guise of Khwaja Nijamuddin
I gave up my bridal finery when I exchanged glances of love with you.
Khusrow sacrifices himself on Nijam!
Lucky are those O' my friend, who have got such a graceful lover
Rejoice, O' the followers of Chisti
The redeemer has come in the guise of Khwaja Nijamuddin
I gave up my bridal finery when I exchanged glances of love with you.
