The song I like

SARASWATHI CHANDRA
chandan saa badan, chanchal chitavan
dhiire se teraa yah musakaanaa
mujhe dosh na denaa jag vaalo.n ho jaauu.N agar mai.n diivaanaa
Your body is as cast of sandalwood, you have a lively mind
Your smile creeps across your visage so gently ...
Let the world find no fault with me, if I do fall in love with you.
yah kaam-kamaan bha.nve terii
palako.n ke kinaare kajaraare
maathe pe si.nduurii suuraj
ho.nTho.n pe dahakate angaare
saayaa bhii jo teraa pa.D jaaye
aabaad ho dil ka viiraanaa
Your brows finely pencilled, bent like a bow
Your eyes tinged with kohl
A flaming vermilion sun on your forehead
Simmering embers on your lips
Even your mere passing shadow
Causes the wildernesses in my heart to bloom again
tan bhii sundar man bhii sundar
tuu sundarataa kii muurat hai
kisii aur ko shaayad kam hogii
mujhe terii bahut zaruurat hai
pahale hii bahut mai.n tarasaa huu.N
ab aur na mujhako tarasaanaa
Your mind is as beautiful as your body
You are the very incarnation of beauty
Maybe someone else needs you as well,
But I need you more than anyone else
I have already suffered a lot without you
Pray make me suffer no more
The translation is not exact, but should be passable
