dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING,

be-chain nazar ho jaatii hai
RESTLESS BECOMES THE GLANCE,

jab koii mohabbat kartaa hai

WHEN SOMEONE FALLS IN LOVE

duniya ko KHabar ho jaatii hai…
THE NEWS REACHES EVERYWHERE!

dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai,
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING,

be-chain nazar ho jaatii hai
RESTLESS BECOMES THE GLANCE,

jab koii mohabbat kartaa hai

WHEN SOMEONE FALLS IN LOVE

duniya ko KHabar ho jaatii hai…
THE NEWS REACHES EVERYWHERE!

dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai,
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING!

 

ye niichii nazar hai sabse burii

THE MODEST GLANCE IS THE WORST,


chaltii hai jigar pe jaise chhurii,
WORKS ON THE HEART LIKE A BLADE,

ye niichii nazar hai sabse burii

THE MODEST GLANCE IS THE WORST,

chaltii hai jigar pe jaise chhurii,
WORKS ON THE HEART LIKE A BLADE,

koii laakh mohabbat ko roke
SOMEONE MAY DEFY LOVE A LOT

ye chiiz magar ho jaatii hai
BUT THIS BONDING DOES HAPPEN!


dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING,

be-chain nazar ho jaatii hai
RESTLESS BECOMES THE GLANCE,

jab koii mohabbat kartaa hai

WHEN SOMEONE FALLS IN LOVE

duniya ko KHabar ho jaatii hai,
THE NEWS REACHES EVERYWHERE!

dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai…
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING!


armaan dilo.n kaa nikle zaraa

TO GRATIFY OUR HEARTS’ DESIRE, ATLEAST

palko.n ke larazte parde uThaa

RAISE THE CURTAINS OF THE EYELASHES,

armaan dilo.n kaa nikle zaraa

TO GRATIFY OUR HEARTS’ DESIRE, ATLEAST

palko.n ke larazte parde uThaa

RAISE THE CURTAINS OF THE EYELASHES,

NOW WHY GRIEVE ABOUT DISREPUTE,

hone do agar ho jaatii hai

LET IT BE IF THIS HAPPENS!

dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING,

be-chain nazar ho jaatii hai
RESTLESS BECOMES THE GLANCE,

jab koii mohabbat kartaa hai

WHEN SOMEONE FALLS IN LOVE

duniya ko KHabar ho jaatii hai…
THE NEWS REACHES EVERYWHERE!

dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING!

SHE’S THE ONE IN SIGHT; SHE’S THE ONE IN DREAMS,

aisaa na karegaa pyaar koi,

NONE WILL LOVE HER SO,

nazro.n me.n wohii Khwaabo.n me.n wohii,
SHE’S THE ONE IN SIGHT; SHE’S THE ONE IN DREAMS,

aisaa na karegaa pyaar koi,

us raat kaa aalam mat puuchho
DON’T ASK ABOUT THAT NIGHT’S BEAUTY, 

jo raat basar ho jaatii hai

THE NIGHT THAT’S PASSED!


dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai
‘TIS THE HEART THAT KEEPS ON BEATING,

be-chain nazar ho jaatii hai
RESTLESS BECOMES THE GLANCE,

jab koii mohabbat kartaa hai

WHEN SOMEONE FALLS IN LOVE

duniya ko KHabar ho jaatii hai…
THE NEWS REACHES EVERYWHERE!

dil hai ke dha.Raktaa rehtaa hai.
