We study transitions between {upsilon} states with the emission of charged pions using 604.6 fb{sup -1} of data collected with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy e{sup +}e{sup -} collider. The measured product branching fraction is B({upsilon}(4S){yields}{upsilon}(1S){pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -})xB({upsilon}(1S){yields}{mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -})=(2.11{+-}0.30(stat){+-}0.14(sys))x10{sup -6} and the partial decay width is {gamma}({upsilon}(4S){yields}{upsilon}(1S){pi}{sup +}{pi}{sup -})=(1.75{+-}0.25(stat){+-}0.24(sys)) keV.
