Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics.


Aa Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
COME EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER,

Aa Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
COME EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER,

Kahaa.n Rooth Ke Chali O Gulaab ki Kali
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO DISPLEASINGLY O ROSE-BUD?

Tere Qadmo.n mein Dil Hai Mera -
BENEATH YOUR STEPS LIES MY HEART.

Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER....


O Shola Badan O Zohra Jabeen
O BOMBSHELL, O VENUSIAN BEAUTY,

Tum Ghusse Mein Lagti Ho Aur Hasee.n
IN ANGER YOU LOOK MORE BEAUTIFUL,

Baitha Hoo.n Jigar ko Thaame Huwe,
HERE I SIT CLUTCHING AT MY HEART,

Mujh Pe Na Gire Yeh Bijlee Kahi.n
LEST THIS LIGHTNING STRIKES ME,

Itna Na Sitam Karna
PRAY DON’T COMMIT SUCH OPPRESSION,

Kuchh Nazr-e-Karam Karna
LOOK UPON WITH SOME FAVOUR,

Dekhiye Dil Hai Naazuk Mera
LOOK, MY HEART IS FRAGILE.

Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER...

Aa Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
COME EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER,

Kahaa.n Rooth Ke Chali, O Gulaab ki Kali
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO DISPLEASINGLY O ROSE-BUD?

Tere Qadmo.n mein Dil Hai Mera -
BENEATH YOUR STEPS LIES MY HEART.

Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER....


Itra Ke Na Chal
DON’T STRUT ALONG,

Bal Khaake Na Chal
DON’T WALK COILED WITH RAGE,

Aanchal Ko Hawa Mein U.daa Ke Na Chal
DON’T TREAD FLUTTERING THE VEIL IN THE AIR,

Itra Ke Na Chal
DON’T STRUT ALONG,

Bal Khaake Na Chal
DON’T WALK COILED WITH RAGE,

Aanchal Ko Hawa Mein U.daa Ke Na Chal
DON’T TREAD FLUTTERING THE VEIL IN THE AIR,

Ban Jaayegaa Koi Afsaana
THIS WILL GIVE RISE TO A TALE,

Dil Ko Mere Ta.dpaa ke Na Chal
DON’T WALK AWAY AGITATING MY HEART,

Kya Kehne Nazaakat ke
WHAT TO SPEAK OF YOUR TENDERNESS!

Saamaa.n Hai.n Qayaamat Ke
ASSETS ARE TREMENDOUS,

Main Tau Pehli Nazar mein Giraa
I FELL DOWN AT THE FIRST GLANCE.

Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER....

Aa Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
COME EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER,

Kahaa.n Rooth Ke Chali O Gulaab ki Kali
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO DISPLEASINGLY O ROSE-BUD?

Tere Qadmo.n mein Dil Hai Mera -
BENEATH YOUR STEPS LIES MY HEART.

Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER....

Na Ishq Hame.n Hai Duniya Se
NO PASSION FOR THE WORLD WE’VE,

Na Pyaar Hame.n Hai Daulat Se
NO CHARM FOR THE WEALTH HAVE WE,

Ham ko Tau Muhabbat Hai Zaalim
(O sweet) OPPRESSOR WE LOVE

Teri Bholi-Bhaali Soorat Se
YOUR SWEET, INNOCENT FACE,

Palko.n Pe Bithaa Loonga
I’LL MAKE YOU THE CYNOSURE OF MY EYES,

Seene mein Chhupaa Loonga
IN MY BOSOM YOU I'LL CONCEAL,

Main Hoon Kab Se Deewaana Tera
SINCE FOR LONG I’VE BEEN CRAZY ABOUT YOU.

Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER..

Aa Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
COME EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER,

Kahaa.n Rooth Ke Chali O Gulaab ki Kali
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO DISPLEASINGLY O ROSE-BUD?

Tere Qadmo.n mein Dil Hai Mera -
BENEATH YOUR STEPS LIES MY HEART.

Lag Jaa Gale Dilruba
EMBRACE ME O HEART STEALER....

NASIR.
