#chaap tilak

[oneawkwardcookie]

My entire life is devoted to your colour, O master of colours You have coloured me in yourself You made me drink the wine of a love potion You have intoxicated me, just by looking into my eyes

|| छाप तिलक सब छीन ली रे

मोसे नैना मिलाइके ||

[dasht-ae-tanhai]

mose bol nah bol

Whether or not you agree to speak to me

meri sun ya nah sun

Whether or not you agree to listen

main to tohe nah chhaaḍoon gi ay saanware

I will not leave your side, my swarthy beloved

My body My mind, o love Why do they seem like two different things? They both are of the same colour

[goblinsbriide]

“Mose bol nah bol, Meri sun yaa nah sun…Main to tohe nah chhaadoon gi aye saanware, Mose nainaan milaaike”

[parleplatina]

متوارى كر دينى رے موسے نیناں ملائیکے

you've intoxicated me with one glance of your enchanting eyes

Chaap Tilak sung by Abida Parveen and Rahat Fateh Ali Khan is something you should listen to not with your ears, but with your spirit. It must be listened to with reverence and devotion, and in return, it will bring you comfort in the night and peace during the storm. It will show you that the darkness is lit up with stars.
