छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके।(ChaapTilak Sab Chini Re Mose Naina Milaike) - You Have Taken Away My Looks,My Identity By Just A Glance - Amir Khusro Amir Khusro is a great Sufi poet and disciple of Nizammuddin Auliya.

That worldly love known to people is used as metaphors by him to tell his heavenly love to God or to his master.

He said that his identity is dissolved in Him with that look; they both have become one.  Elaborated Here.  छाप तिलक सब छीनी रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके, प्रेम भटी का मदवा पिलाइके, मतवारी कर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके, गोरी गोरी बईयाँ, हरी हरी चूड़ियाँ, बईयाँ पकड़ धर लीन्ही रे मोसे नैना मिलाइके, बल बल ...
