Tumhein dillagi bhool jani pare gi
Tumhein dillagi bhool jani pare gi
Muhabbat ki raahon mein aa kar to dekho

You will have to forget all about infatuation
You will have to forget all about infatuation
Come, embark upon the journey of love!

Tumhein dillagi bhool jani pare gi
Muhabbat ki raahon mein aa kar to dekho
Tarapne pe mere na phir tum hanso ge
Tarapne pe mere na phir tum hanso ge
Kabhi dil kissi se laga kar to dekho

You will have to forget all about infatuation
Come, embark upon the journey of love!
You will not laugh at my suffering
You will not laugh at my suffering
Just try giving your heart to someone


Honton ke paas aye hansi, kya majaal hai
Dil ka muamla hai koi dillagi nahin

And the lips do not dare to smile
This is about the heart, it's not infatuation!

Zakhm pe zakhm kha ke ji
Apne lahoo ke ghont pi
Aah na kar labon ko si
Ishq hai dillagi nahin

living with wound upon wound
and drinking gulps of my own blood
not even a sigh, lips sealed completely
this is love, not infatuation

Dil laga kar pata chaley ga tumhein
Aashiqui dillagi nahin hoti

When you fall in love you shall realize
Love is not infatuation

Kuch khel nahin hai ishq ki laag
Paani na samajh ye aag hai aag

It is not a game, this longing of love
Do not regard it as water, it is fire!

Khoon rulaye gi ye lagi dil ki
Khel samjho na dillagi dil ki

The longing will make you shed tears of blood
The longing of the heart is not a game


Yeh ishq nahin aasaan
Bas itna samajh leejay
Ik aag ka darya hai
Aur doob ke jaana hai

This love is not something easy
Just understand it like this
It is like a river of fire and
to traverse it, you need to drown in it

Wafaaon ki hum se tawaqo nahin hai
Wafaaon ki hum se tawaqo nahin hai
Magar ek baar aazma kar to dekho
Zamanay ko apna bana kar to dekha
Humein bhi tum apna bana kar to dekho

You may not trust me to be faithful
You may not trust me to be faithful
but just once give me an opportunity
you have made the whole world yours
now try making me yours too


Khuda ke liya chor do ab yeh parda…

Rukh se naqab utha, ke bari der ho gayi
Mahol ko tilaawat-e-quraan kiye hoye
Khuda ke liye chor do ab yeh parda…

For God's sake, let go of the veil...
Remove the veil from your face, its been a long while
since the recitations of religious praise in the vicinity
For God’s sake, let go of the veil

Hum na samjhe teri nazron ka taqaza kya hai
Kabhi parda kabhi jalwa yeh tamasha kya hai
Khuda ke liye chor do ab yeh parda…

I do not understand the meaning of your gaze
Sometimes your veil, other times your splendor, what game is this?
For God's sake, let go of the veil

Jan-e-jan hum se uljhan nahin dekhi jaati
Khuda ke liye chor do ab yeh parda…

My beloved, i cannot bear this confusion
For God’s sake, let of the veil

Khuda ke liya chor do ab yeh parda
Keh hain aaj hum tum nahin ghair koi
Shab-e-wasl bhi hai hijaab iss kadar kyon
Zara rukh se aanchal utha kar to dekho

For God’s sake, let of the veil
It is just you and me, no strangers around
It is the night of our meeting, no need of the veil
Uncover your face and look up to me now

Jafaaein buhat kien buhat zulm dhaye
Kabhi ik nigah-e-karam iss taraf bhi
Humesha huay dekh kar mujh ko barham
Kissi din zara muskura kar to dekho

Inflicted lots of tyranny, and bore lots of pain
Occasionally, please, a kind gaze my way
You always frown when you see me
Some day please try smiling

Jo ulfat mein har ek sitam hai gawara
Yeh sab kuch hai paas-e-wafa tum se warna
Satate ho din raat jiss tarha mujh ko
Kissi ghair ko youn sata kar to dekho

In love i have borne every tyranny you inflicted
All this was because i am faithful to you otherwise
the way you treat me day and night
Try doing this to a stranger and see.

Agarche kissi baat par woh khafa hain
To acha yehi hai tum apni si kar lo
Woh maanein na mannein yeh marzi hai unki
Magar un ko pur-nam mana kar to dekho

If she is upset about something
you may just have to move on
Whether she accepts you or not, it is upto her
But you must try to win her with all your passion


Tumhein dillagi bhool jani pare gi
Muhabbat ki raahon mein aa kar to dekho

You will have to forget all about infatuation
Come, embark upon the journey of love!

Aa Piya In Nainan Mein
Jo Palk Dhamp Tohe Loon
Naa Mein Dekhoon Gair Ko
Naa Tohe Dekhan Doon


O beloved arise inside my eyes
Let me hold you within my eyelids
I will not look at any other person
Nor will I let you


Haath Chudawat Jaat Ho Jo Nir Mil Jaan Ke Mohe
Hirdai Main Se Jaon To Tab Main Janoon Tohe


Foresaking my hands and abandoning me without a union
Let's see you try to leave my heart if you can


Neel Gagan Se Bhi Pare
Saiya Ji Ka Gaon

Lovelier than blue skies
is the village of my lover's dwelling


Darshan Jal Ki Kamna
Pat Rakheo Ri Ram

I yearn for his darshan
Come to me O Ram


Ab Kismat Ke Haath Hai
Iss Bandhan Ki Laaj

The reputation of this union
is now in the hands of destiny


Maine To Mann Likh Diya
Sawariya Ke Naam

I have written on my heart
the name of my beloved



Woh Chatar Hai Kamni
Woh Hai Sundar Nar
Iss Pagli Ne Kar Liya
Sajan Ka Mann Ram



He is a melodious bird
He is a magnificent man
This crazy girl has taken
her lover to be Lord Rama





Jab Se Radha Shaam Ke
Nain Hue Hain Char
Shaam Banne Hain Radhika
Radha Ban Gaye Shaam


As Radha and Shyam
gazed at each other
Shyam became Radhika
and Radha became Shyam
