गोरी तेरी आँखें कहें रात भर सोयी नहीं
चंदा देखे चुपके कहीं और तारे जानते हैं सभी
के किसने दिल ले लिया किसको दिल दे दिया
ये दिल का लगाना कोई जानता नहीं
गोरी तेरी आँखें कहें रात भर सोयी नहीं
जो है मेरे पास है तेरा मेरा कुछ नहीं
क्यूँ अंखियाँ छुपाऊँ क्यूँ तुझको सताऊँ
दिल तोड़ के तेरा मैं क्या पाऊं
बोल पिया बोल पिया बोल पिया बोल (आ आ)
साजन तेरी बातें बड़ी के मैं रात भर सोयी नहीं
चंदा ने भी देखा नहीं और तारों को ये मालूम नहीं
कि मैंने तुझे दिल दिया तेरा दिल ले लिया
मेरा तू ही है बहाना क्यूँ मानता नहीं
साजन तेरी बातें बड़ी के में रात भर सोयी नहीं
आते जाते मौसम जैसे लगते थे सभी (आ आ)
हमने भी तो माँगा रब से अपना भी कोई
दुनिया से बचाऊँ पलकों में छुपाऊं
दिल जीत के तेरा सबको बताऊँ

गोरी तेरी (आ आ आ आ)

The lyrics to Lucky Ali's song "Gori Teri Ankhen" speaks of a love that is unexplainable, even to the couple themselves. The song opens with the line "Gori teri ankhein kahen, raat bhar soyeeni" (Your fair eyes say they didn't sleep all night). Here, the singer is conveying the idea that his lover's eyes reveal her restlessness and her inability to sleep, perhaps because of her love for him. The next lines refer to the moon and the stars who know who has taken whose heart and who has given away their heart. However, no one understands the nature of this love. The singer is unsure why he cannot hide his feelings and why he keeps torturing his love by playing games with her.
In the next part of the song, the singer tries to convince his lover of his love for her but laments that she will not understand the full extent of his feelings. He confesses that although he may have material possessions, without her, he has nothing. He questions why he hides his feelings and continually causes her pain only to be left with nothing but regret. The song concludes by emphasizing that his love is unquestionable and intense, even though no one knows about it.
