Chhap Tilak - Amir Khusro

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

Raini charhi rasool ki

Rang maula ke haath

Jis ki chunri rangdi

Dhan dhan uske bhaag

Khusrau Nijaam kay bal bal jayyiye

Mohay Suhaagan keeni ray mosay naina milaikay

Chhap tilak sab cheeni ray mosay naina milaikay

You’ve taken away my looks, my identity, by just a glance By making me drink the wine of love-potion 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

The night of the Prophet's celebration has dawned Whoever's veil he chose to colour Blessed became his fortune

I give my whole life to you, Oh Nijam,

You’ve made me your bride, by just a glance
