VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS,

aaj kal hamse rooThe, huwe hai.n sanam,

pyaar meN ho rahe haiN, sitam pe sitam,

TORMENTS IN LOVE HAVE BECOME THE WAYS,

lekin, Khuda kee qasam, hoNge jis roz hamm, aamne-saamne,

BUT BY GOD, THE DAY WE MEET FACE TO FACE,

hoNge jis roz hamm, aamne-saamne,

THE DAY WE MEET FACE TO FACE,

saare shikwe, gile duur ho jaayeNge

ALL THE COMPLAINTS WILL HAVE NO TRACE!

aaj kal,  hamse rooThe, huwe haiN sanam…

VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS!

unke har naaz kee, hamne taareef kee

EVERY WHIM OF HERS I PRAISED,

unke har naaz kee, hamne taareef kee,

EVERY WHIM OF HERS I PRAISED,

shukriyaa bhee naa kehne, kee takleef kee,

EVEN TO SAY “THANKS,” NO EFFORTS SHE RAISED,

hamne dekhaa toh parde meN voh chhup gaye,

AS I SAW HER, BEHIND A SCREEN SHE HID,

hamne dekhaa, toh parde meN voh chhup gaye

AS I SAW HER, BEHIND A SCREEN SHE HID,

kyaa pataa thaah, voh maGhroor ho jaayeNge,

PUFF’D UP SHE WAS, NEVER KNEW WHY SHE DID!

aaj kal hamse rooThe, huwe haiN sanam,

VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS,

aaj kal hamse rooThe, huwe hai.n sanam…

VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS!

Khoobsoorat haiN voh, aur maasoom haiN,

BEAUTIFUL IS SHE - AND INNOCENT,

Khoobsoorat haiN voh, aur maasoom haiN,

BEAUTIFUL IS SHE -  AND INNOCENT,

ab yeh baateN kahaaN, unko maaloom haiN,

ABOUT THESE THINGS NOW SHE’S IGNORANT!

jo fasaane faqat, apne hoToN pe haiN

THE TALES THAT ONLY ON OUR LIPS ARE EVIDENT,

jo fasaane faqat, apne hoToN pe haiN

THE TALES THAT ONLY ON OUR LIPS ARE EVIDENT,

har galee meN, yeh mash-hoor ho jaayeNge

IN EVERY LANE THEY’D BECOME STRIDENT!

aaj kal hamse rooThe, huwe haiN sanam,

VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS,

aaj kal hamse rooThe, huwe hai.n sanam…

VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS!

hamko apnee nigaahoN, pe hai aitbaar,

MY EYES I TRUST NO LESS,  

hamko apnee nigaahoN, pe hai aitbaar,

MY EYES I TRUST NO LESS,

ek din unko kar deNge hamm, be-qaraar,

ONE DAY I’LL MAKE HER RESTLESS!

jis taraah hamm, muhabbat meN majboor haiN

IN LOVE, THE WAY I’M COMPELLED, 

jis taraah hamm, muhabbat meN majboor haiN

IN LOVE, THE WAY I’M COMPELLED,

is taraah voh, bhee majboor ho jaayeNge

THE SAME WAY SHE TOO WOULD BE COMPELLED!

aaj kal hamse rooThe, huwe hai.n sanam,

VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS,

pyaar meN ho rahe haiN, sitam pe sitam,

TORMENTS IN LOVE HAVE BECOME THE WAYS,

hoNge jis roz hamm, aamne-saamne,

THE DAY WE MEET FACE TO FACE,

hoNge jis roz hamm, aamne-saamne,

THE DAY WE MEET FACE TO FACE,

saare shikwe, gile duur ho jaayeNge

ALL THE COMPLAINTS WILL HAVE NO TRACE!

aaj kal,  hamse rooThe, huwe haiN sanam.

THESE DAYS MY SWEETHEART IS VEXED WITH ME!

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality, and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.” Fran Lebowitz quotes

Rafi’s vintage song: Dil kee dil me.n hee rahee...

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


dil kee dil me.n hee rahee
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED,

baat naa hone payee,
NO TALKS COULD TAKE PLACE,

rooThe saajan se, mulaaqaat naa hone payee,
WITH THE OFFENDED LOVER, NO MEETING COULD TAKE PLACE,

dil kee dil me.n hee rahee,
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED,

dil kee dil me.n hee rahee
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED,

baat naa hone payee,
NO TALKS COULD TAKE PLACE,

rooThe saajan se, mulaaqaat naa hone payee,
WITH THE OFFENDED LOVER, NO MEETING COULD TAKE PLACE,

dil ke dil me.n hee rahee...
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED...


khelte dil se, rahe haay samajh ke khilauna,
HE KEPT ON PLAYING WITH THE HEART, ALAS, ASSUMING IT TO BE A TOY!

khelte dil se, rahe haay, samajh ke khilauna,
HE KEPT ON PLAYING WITH THE HEART, ALAS, ASSUMING IT TO BE A TOY!

chal diye to.d ke dil, deke mujhe voh ronaa,
HE WENT AWAY BREAKING THE HEART, LEAVING ME TO WEEP,

baat sochee theeh jo voh baat naa hone payee,
NO SUCH THINGS THAT I’D THOUGHT OF, COULD TAKE PLACE,

rooThe saajan se, haay, mulaaqaat naa hone payee,
WITH THE OFFENDED LOVER, NO MEETING COULD TAKE PLACE,

dil kee dil me.n hee rahee...
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED..


samjhee apnaa theeh jinhe.n voh naa huwe, mere apne
HE, WHOM I’D PRESUMED TO BE MINE, NEVER BECAME MINE,

voh naa huwe, mere apne,
HE NEVER BECAME MINE,

samjhee apnaa theeh jinhe.n voh naa huwe, mere apne
HE, WHOM I’D PRESUMED TO BE MINE, NEVER BECAME MINE,

voh naa huwe, mere apne,
HE NEVER BECAME MINE,

dekhaa kartee theeh mai.n jis, raat ke haay sapne,
ALAS! THE NIGHT THAT I USED TO DREAM ABOUT

haay taqdeer ke voh, raat naa hone payee,
WOE BETIDE THE FATE! NO SUCH NIGHT COULD TAKE PLACE!

rooThe saajan se, haay, mulaaqaat naa hone payee,
WITH THE OFFENDED LOVER, NO MEETING COULD TAKE PLACE,

dil kee dil me.n hee rahee...
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED...

dil kee dil me.n hee rahee
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED,

baat naa hone payee,
NO TALKS COULD TAKE PLACE,

rooThe saajan se, mulaaqaat naa hone payee,
WITH THE OFFENDED LOVER, NO MEETING COULD TAKE PLACE,

dil kee dil me.n hee rahee.
WHAT WAS IN THE HEART, THERE IT REMAINED.
