Roman Transliteration/Translation of the Hindi/Urdu filmy Lyrics:
Haay, taubaa-taubaa yeh jawanii, yeh jawanii kaa Guroor,
ALAS, FIE, THIS YOUTH, THIS YOUTHFUL ARROGANCE,
ishQ ke saamne, sar phir bhii jhukaanaa hii paRaa,
EVEN SO, BEFORE LOVE YOU DID BOW YOUR HEAD!
kaisa kehte theh naa aayenge, naa aayenge magar,
HOW YOU USED TO SAY YOU WON’T COME, WON’T COME BUT
dil ne is taraah pukaaraa, tumeh aanaa hii paRaa…
THE HEART CALLED IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU HAD TO COME!
yeh maanaa merii jaaN, mohabbat sazaa hai,
AGREED, MY SWEETHEART, THAT LOVE IS A PUNISHMENT,
yeh maanaa merii jaaN, mohabbat sazaa hai,
AGREED, MY SWEETHEART, THAT LOVE IS A PUNISHMENT,
mazaa is meN itnaa, magar kis liye hai,
BUT WHY THERE’S SO MUCH PLEASURE IN IT?
mazaa is meN itnaa, magar kis liye hai,
BUT WHY THERE’S SO MUCH PLEASURE IN IT?
woh ik beQaraarii, jo ab tak idhar thiih,
THAT RESTLESSNESS WHICH TILL NOW WAS HERE
wohii beQararii, udhar kis liye hai,
WHY’S THE SAME RESTLESSNESS OVER THERE?
[Chorus: abhii tak toh idhar thiih, udhar kis liye hai,
TILL NOW IT WAS HERE, WHY IS IT OVER THERE?
kis liye hai haaN kis liye hai,
WHY IS IT, YES WHY IS IT!]
haaN yeh maanaa merii jaaN, mohabbat sazaa hai,
YES AGREED, MY SWEETHEART, THAT LOVE IS A PUNISHMENT,
mazaa is meN itnaa, magar kis liye hai,
BUT WHY THERE’S SO MUCH PLEASURE IN IT?
mazaa is meN itnaa, magar kis liye hai…
BUT WHY THERE’S SO MUCH PLEASURE IN IT?
bahelnaa naa jaane, badalnaa naa jaane,
NOT KNOWING HOW TO BE CHEERED OR CHANGED
tamannaa machal ke, sambhalnaa naa jaane haaN
THE OBSTINATE DESIRE KNOWS NOT HOW TO STOP!
tamannaa machal ke, sambhalnaa naa jaane,
THE OBSTINATE DESIRE KNOWS NOT HOW TO STOP!
[chorus: bahelnaa naa jaane, ha ha, badalnaa naa jaane,
NOT KNOWING HOW TO BE CHEERED OR CHANGED
*haay tamannaa machal ke sambhalnaa naa jaane,

Ho ho ho bahelnaa naa jaane, badalnaa naa jaane,
