Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics: 

ishq deewaanaa husn bhee ghaayal, 
A LUNATIC LOVER, A SMITTEN SWEETHEART, 

ishq deewaanaa husn bhee ghaayal, 
A LUNATIC LOVER, A SMITTEN SWEETHEART, 

dono.n taraf ik, dard-e-jigar hai 
HEART-ACHE IS THE SAME IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, 

dil kee ta.dap kaa, haal na poochho 
DON’T ASK ABOUT THE HEART’S UNEASINESS, 

dil kee ta.dap kaa, haal na poochho, 
DON’T ASK ABOUT THE HEART’S UNEASINESS,

jitnee idhar hai, utnee udhar hai 
MUCH AS  IT'S HERE, TO THAT EXTENT  IT'S THERE! 

Ishq deewaanaa... 
A LUNATIC LOVER... 

apne fasaane, dil ke taraane, 
OUR ROMANCES, THE MELODIES OF THE HEART, 

yaa tum samjho, yaa hamm jaane.n 
EITHER YOU PERCEIVE THEM, OR  I KNOW ABOUT THEM, 

tumko hamaare, dil kaa pataa hai, 
YOU KNOW ABOUT MY HEART, 

hamko tumhaare, dil kee Khabar hai, 
ABOUT YOUR HEART, I'M AWARE! 

ishq deewaanaa, husn bhee ghaayal , 
A LUNATIC LOVER, A SMITTEN SWEETHEART, 

ishq deewaanaa... 
A LUNATIC LOVER... 

bikhree zulfe.n, aa.nchal Dhalkaa, 
TOUSLED TRESSES, THE SLIPPING MANTLE, 

lab pe tabassum, halkaa-halkaa, 
ON THE LIPS - A SLENDER SMILE, 

pyaar me.n hamm toh, khoye hai.n lekin, 
AS FOR ME, I'M LOST IN LOVE BUT 

aaj tumhe.n bhee, hosh kidhar hai 
EVEN YOU AREN’T IN YOUR SENSES TODAY! 

dil kee ta.Dap kaa, haal naa poochho 
DON’T ASK  ABOUT THE HEART’S UNEASINESS,

dil kee ta.Dap kaa, haal naa poochho, 
DON’T ASK ABOUT THE HEART’S UNEASINESS, 

jitnee idhar hai, utnee udhar hai 
MUCH AS  IT'S HERE, TO THAT EXTENT  IT'S THERE! 

ishq deewaanaa.... 
A  LUNATIC LOVER... 

chaa.nd sitaare, shoKh nazaare, 
THE MOON, THE STARS, THE PLAYFUL SIGHTS, 

loot na le.n sab, roop tumhaare, 
LEST ALL OF THEM MAY ROB YOUR LOVELINESS, 

husn ko rakhnaa, sabse bachaa ke, 
KEEP THE BEAUTY SAFE FROM ALL OF 'EM, 

dekho tumhee pe, sab kee nazar hai 
BEWARE, ALL HAVE THEIR EYES ONLY ON YOU! 

ishq deewaanaa, husn bhee ghaayal, 
A LUNATIC LOVER, A SMITTEN SWEETHEART, 

ishq deewaanaa, husn bhee ghaayal, 
A LUNATIC LOVER, A SMITTEN SWEETHEART, 

dono.n taraf ik, dard-e-jigar hai 
HEART-ACHE IS THE SAME IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, 

dil kee ta.dap kaa, haal na poochho 
DON’T ASK ABOUT THE HEART’S UNEASINESS, 

dil kee ta.dap kaa, haal na poochho, 
DON’T ASK ABOUT THE HEART’S UNEASINESS, 

jitnee idhar hai, utnee udhar hai, 
MUCH AS  IT'S HERE, TO THAT EXTENT  IT'S THERE! 

ishq deewaanaa... 
A LUNATIC LOVER...
