YOU WON’T LOSE ANYTHING,

THIS WET NIGHT, THIS SOAKED BODY, THIS STATE OF BEAUTY,


yeh bheegee raat yeh bheegaa, badan yeh husn kaa aalam,
THIS WET NIGHT, THIS SOAKED BODY, THIS STATE OF BEAUTY,


yeh sab andaaz mil kar, doh jahaa.n ko looT jaaye.nge,
TOGETHER, ALL THESE BLANDISHMENTS WILL PLUNDER BOTH THE WORLDS,


tumhaara kuchh naa big.Degaa,
YOU WON’T LOSE ANYTHING,


magar dil TooT jaaye.nge,
BUT THE HEARTS WILL BREAK,


naa jhaTko zulf se paanee…
DON’T SHAKE OFF WATER FROM THE HAIR…


yeh naazuk labb hai.n yaa, aapas me.n doh lipTee huwee kaliyaa.n,
ARE THESE THE DELICATE LIPS OR THE TWO BUDS ENTWINED!


yeh naazuk labb hai.n yaa, aapas me.n doh lipTee huwee kaliyaa.n,

YOU WON’T LOSE ANYTHING,


magar dil TooT jaaye.nge,
BUT THE HEARTS WILL BREAK,

hamaaree jaan le legaa, yeh neechee aa.nkh kaa jaadoo,
THE MAGIC OF THESE MODEST EYES WILL TAKE MY LIFE AWAY,


hamaaree jaan le legaa, yeh neechee aa.nkh kaa jaadoo,
THE MAGIC OF THESE MODEST EYES WILL TAKE MY LIFE AWAY,


chalo achchaa huwaa mar kar, jahaa.n se chhooT jaaye.nge,
COME, ‘TIS WELL! WE’LL BE RID OF THE WORLD AFTER DEATH,


tumhaara kuchh naa big.degaa,
YOU WON’T LOSE ANYTHING,


magar dil TooT jaaye.nge,
BUT THE HEARTS WILL BREAK,


naa jhaTko, zulf se paanee,
DON’T SHAKE OFF WATER FROM THE HAIR,

THESE PEARLS WILL BURST,


naa jhaTko zulf se paanee.
DON’T SHAKE OFF WATER FROM THE HAIR.
