FOR ME, FOR ME….


deewaane hamm theh chaah ke,
CRAZY WERE WE FOR LOVE,

toh beqaraar ho liye,
SO WE BECAME RESTLESS,

deewaane hamm theh chaah ke,
CRAZY WERE WE FOR LOVE,

toh beqaraar ho liye,
SO WE BECAME RESTLESS,

ke duur kee nigaah ke,
SIGHTING THEM FROM FAR

gunahagaar ho liye,
THE SINNER WE BECAME,

gunaahagaar ho liye,
THE SINNER WE BECAME,


jawaaniyaa.n yeh mast mast bin piye,
THESE LUSTY LASSES, DRUNK SANS DRINKING,


jalaatee chal rahee hai raah me.n diye,
LIGHTING UP THE LAMPS ON THE WAY,

na jaane in me.n kis ke vaaste hoo.n mai.n,
WHO KNOWS FOR WHOM AMONG THEM AM I MEANT,

na jaane in me.n kaun hai mere liye,
WHO KNOWS WHO AMONG THEM IS MEANT FOR ME,

mere liye mere liye –
FOR ME, FOR ME,

mere liye mere liye…
FOR ME, FOR ME….

aakhir tere naaz kee yeh haar naheeN  toh aur hai kyaa, 
AFTER ALL, IF THIS IS NOT THE BLOW TO YOUR VANITY, THEN WHAT IS IT?

dauR  ke aana paas mere pyaar naheeN toh aur hai kyaa,
IF YOUR RUSHING TO ME BE NOT LOVE, THEN WHAT IS IT?

WHY BE CONFUSED FROM A DISTANCE!

daaNt  meN yooN unglee naa dabaa,
DON'T CHEW YOUR FINGER IN ASTONISHMENT!

I SEE YOUR GLANCE REACHING MINE,

DON’T LET THE TRESSES FALL OVER THE CHEEKS, 

tuu hai qayamat maiN  hooN balaa, 
YOU’RE A STUNNER;  I’M A KILLER! 

gaaloN  par zulfeN naa giraa,
