Terii taswiir chalii aayii hai behlaane ko
YOUR PICTURE HAS COME TO CHEER,

Aur deewaanaa banaa rakkhaa hai deewaane ko
MAKING CRAZIER THE ONE WHO IS CRAZY!

Oh oh haa haa…..

CLUTCHING MY HEART WHERE I AM OFF TO

SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!

CLUTCHING MY HEART, I’M OFF!

[chorus: taraari tatta taraari tatta, taraari tatta taraari tatta, aa aa aa aa, aa aa aa aa, aa aa aa, ho ho, ha ha, ho ho,  ha ha]

DIRECT ME TO YOUR TRESSES, 

oh ho aah aah

mausam hai hasiin, kyuuN  naa ho yaqiiN,
WITH FINE WEATHER, WHY SHOULDN’T I BELIEVE

ab duur nahiiN  voh jaane wafaa,
THE BELOVED IS NOW NOT FAR, 

namkiiN samaa rangiin safar,
CRISPY AMBIENCE, COLOURFUL JOURNEY

Koi dekhe, koi dekhe, 
SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, 

dil thaam chale hamm aaj kidhar, 
CLUTCHING MY HEART WHERE I AM OFF TO

koyii dekhe, koyii dekhe,

IS BEGINNING TO BOW, JUST LET’S SEE WHY!
Ho ho aa ha

aur dekh ke yeh, kyuuN dil apnaa
ON WATCHING THIS, WHY MY HEART

kuchh ghaTne lagaa kuchh rukne lagaa,
SOMEWHAT SKIPS A BEAT, STOPS BEATING, 

mausam kii shararat kaa manzar,
THE SIGHT OF MISCHIEVOUS WEATHER

Koi dekhe, koi dekhe, 
SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!

dil thaam chale hamm aaj kidhar, 
CLUTCHING MY HEART WHERE I AM OFF TO

koyii dekhe, koyii dekhe,

CLUTCHING MY HEART, I’M OFF!

[chorus: taraari tatta taraari tatta, taraari tatta taraari tatta, aa aa aa aa, aa aa aa aa, aa aa aa, ho ho, ha ha, ho ho,  ha ha] 

DhuuNDHe nikle naagin kii taraah
SETTING OUT TO SEARCH LIKE A FEMALE COBRA

lahraati hui bal khatii hui,
WINDING AND TWISTING

ho ho ha ha

phoolo se bhare, in rastoN ke
ON THE FLOWERY PATHS, 

har moR pe yeh samjhaati hui,
EXPLAINING AT EVERY TURN

yeh ishq bhii toh hai ik chakkar
THIS LOVE, TOO, IS A SPIN! 

Koi dekhe koi dekhe
SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!

dil thaam chale hamm aaj kidhar, 
CLUTCHING MY HEART WHERE I AM OFF TO

koyii dekhe, koyii dekhe,
SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!  

be-chayn jigar betab nazar,
RESTLESS HEART, ANXIOUS EYES, 

koyii deke, koyiie dekhe, 
SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!  

dil thaaam chale hamm….
CLUTCHING MY HEART, I’M OFF!

Rafi’s Peppy Song: gaal gulaabi kis ke haiN…
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the Hindi-Urdu filmy Lyrics:

gaal gulaabi kis ke hain, 
WHO’S THE ROSY CHEEKS?

nain sharaabi kis ke hain,
WHO’S THE INTOXICATING EYES?

baalon men kis ke raat base, 
IN WHOSE HAIR THE NIGHT ABIDES,

dekh ke jis ko subah haNse,
SEEING WHICH THE MORNING LAUGHS!

bolo kaun kaun kaun kaun kaun, 
TELL ME,  WHO?

(CHORUS) shakila! 

gaal gulaabi kis ke haiN, 
WHO’S THE ROSY CHEEKS?

nain sharaabi kis ke haiN,
WHO’S THE INTOXICATING EYES?

lambi baaheN  kis ki haiN,
WHO’S LONG ARMS?

tez nigaaheN kis ki haiN,
WHO’S SHARP EYES?

chuum ke jis ko havaa chale 
KISSING WHOM THE BREEZE BLOWS,

dekh ke jis ko chaand jale,
SEEING WHOM THE MOON’S JEALOUS,

bolo kaun kaun kaun kaun kaun, 
TELL ME, WHO?

(CHORUS): jamila…

lambi baaheN  kis ki haiN,
WHO’S LONG ARMS?

tez nigaaheN kis ki haiN…
WHO’S SHARP EYES?

phuul baraste baatoN se 
FLOWERS SPRINKLE  WHEN SHE TALKS, 

dil ko luuTe ghaatoN se,
TO ROB THE HEART, SHE STALKS, 

jo bijli ko sharmaaye 
SHE MAKES THE LIGHTNING BLUSH, 

dekh pasinaa aa jaaye
SEEING WHICH MAKES ONE GUSH, 

bolo kaun kaun kaun kaun kaun, 
TELL ME, WHO?

(CHORUS): lila

phuul baraste baatoN se,
FLOWERS SPRINKLE WHEN SHE TALKS, 

dil ko luuTe ghaatoN se…
TO ROB THE HEART, SHE STALKS!

rang damaktaa kis kaa hai, 
WHO’S A GLOWING COMPLEXION?

ang chamaktaa kis kaa hai,
WHO’S THE BLOOMING BEAUTY?

jalvaa jaadu kartaa hai 
HER ARRIVAL CREATES MAGIC,

Shimlaa jis pe martaa hai,
SHE’S THE HEARTTHROB OF SIMLA, 

bolo kaun kaun kaun kaun kaun, 
TELL ME, WHO?

(CHORUS): sheila

rang damaktaa kis kaa hai, 
WHO’S A GLOWING COMPLEXION?

ang chamaktaa kis kaa hai,
WHO’S THE BLOOMING BEAUTY?

gaal gulaabi nain sharaabi 
ROSY CHEEKS, INTOXICATING EYES,

lambi baaheN tez nigaaheN rang damaktaa
LONG ARMS,SHARP EYES, GLOWING COMPLEXION,

bolo kaun kaun kaun kaun kaun?
TELL ME, WHO?

(CHORUS): soniya
