Lyrics and translation R.D. Burman - Gulabi Aankhen

Gulabi Aankhen

Gulabi aankhen jo teri dekhi sharabi yeh dil ho gaya
Sambhalo mujhko oh mere yaaron sambhalna mushkil ho gaya

Dil mein mere khwab tere tasveer jaise ho deewar pe
Tujhpe fida main kyu huwa aata hai gussa mujhe pyar pe

Mai loot gaya maan ke dil ka kaha mai
Kahi ka na raha kya kahu main dilruba

Bura hai jaadoo teri aankhon ka yeh mera kaatil ho gaya
Gulabi aankhen jo teri dekhi sharabi yeh dil ho gaya

Maine sada chaha yahi daman bacha lu hasino se main
Teri kasam khwabo mein bhi bachta fira nazneeno se mai

Tauba magar mil gayi tujhse nazar mil
Gaya darde jigar sun zara oh bekhabar

Zara sa haske jo dekha tune mai tera bismil ho gaya
Gulabi aankhen jo teri dekhi sharabi yeh dil ho gaya
Sambhalo mujhko oh mere yaaron sambhalna mushkil ho gaya

Gulabi Aankhen

Your rosy eyes, when I beheld, made my heart drunk with love
Hold me, my friends, for it's hard to stay steady

Your dreams in my heart are like a painting on a wall
Why am I so devoted to you? Anger comes over me, but my love remains

I've been robbed; my heart says
I have nothing left; what can I say, my love?

Evil is the spell of your eyes, my killer
Your rosy eyes, when I beheld, made my heart drunk with love

I always wished to save my heart from beautiful girls
I swear, even in my dreams, I tried to escape from attractive women

But repent! I met your gaze
My heartache grew; listen to my tale, unaware one

You smiled just a little, and I became your victim
Your rosy eyes, when I beheld, made my heart drunk with love
Hold me, my friends, for it's hard to stay steady
