sapne meN jo,  aate haiN aksar
SHE, WHO OFTEN APPEARS IN A DREAM,

mehfil meN un ko bulaa..
INVITE HER TO THE PARTY!

(chorus: la la la)

vo bhee na bole,  hamm bhee naa bole aaNkh milee pehchaan huwee,
NOT A WORD SHE SAID, NOR DID I, THE EYES MET AND WE GOT ACQUAINTED,

koyee chalaa jab,  saath safar meN
WHEN ON THE JOURNEY SOMEONE ACCOMPANIED ME,

hamko Dagar aasaan huwee,
EASY BECAME THE DESTINATION FOR ME!

hamko Dagar aasaan huwee..
EASY BECAME THE DESTINATION FOR ME!

Dil,  tuu bhee gaa,
SING YE TOO O HEART,

(chorus: la la la)

roop nagar kee, bheeR meN hamne  Khud ko bhulaanaa seekh liyaa,
AMONG THE BEVY OF BEAUTIES, I LEARNT TO FORGET MYSELF,

mast nazar ke, jaam meN hamne Gam ko Dubaanaa seekh liyaa,
IN THE WINE OF DRUNKEN EYES, I LEARNT TO DROWN THE SORROW,

Gam ko Dubaanaa seekh liyaa,
I LEARNT TO DROWN THE SORROW!

Dil, tuu bhee gaa,
SING YE TOO O HEART,

dard balaa kaa,  dard hai lekin  hosh naheeN toh kuchh bhee naheeN,
THE PAIN IS AWFUL, BUT ‘TIS NOTHING WHEN I’M UNAWARE!

aaj jahaaN ko, hamm duniyaa ko,  chhoR ke aaye duur kaheeN,
TODAY, I’VE LEFT THE WORLD AND PEOPLE FAR BEHIND SOMEWHERE,

chhoR ke aaye duur kaheeN…
I’VE LEFT THEM FAR BEHIND SOMEWHERE!

Dil, tuu bhee gaa,

ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa,
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT,


hoy hoy, ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa…
OH! THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT…


Khud toh aa.nkho.n se qatl kartee ho,
YOU KILL BY THE GLANCES YOURSELF,


apnaa ilzaam ham pe dhartee ho,
THE ACCUSATION YOU IMPUTE TO ME!


saaree duniyaa ko maar Daala hai,
YOU’VE “KILLED” THE ENTIRE WORLD,


baat poochho toh bas mukartee ho,
WHEN QUESTIONED, YOU’RE JUST DENYING IT!


saaree duniyaa ko maar Daala hai,
YOU’VE “KILLED” THE ENTIRE WORLD,


baat poochho, toh bas mukartee ho,
WHEN QUESTIONED, YOU’RE JUST DENYING IT,


ek la. Dkee hai…
THERE’S A GIRL…


(whistles)


ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa,
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT,


ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa,
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT,


voh tumeeh ho o naaznee.n,
YOU’RE THAT ONE, O DELICATE DARLING!


voh tumeeh ho o mehjabee.n,
YOU’RE THAT ONE, O GORGEOUS!


ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa,
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT,


ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa…
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT…


saa.nvlaa rang sab ko bhaayaa hai,
THE TANNED COMPLEXION IS TO EVERYONE’S LIKING,


meraa dil bhee tumeeh pe aayaa hai,
EVEN MY HEART’S FALLEN FOR YOU,


meraa marnaa bhee kar diyaa mushkil,
EVEN MY DEATH YOU’VE MADE DIFFICULT,


pyaar kar ke mujhe sataaya hai,
YOU’VE HARASSED ME BY LOVING ME,


meraa marnaa bhee kar diyaa mushkil,
EVEN MY DEATH YOU’VE MADE DIFFICULT,


pyaar kar ke, mujhe sataaya hai,
YOU’VE HARASSED ME BY LOVING ME,


ek la.Dkee hai…
THERE’S A GIRL..


(the girl whistles)

ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa,
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT,


ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa,
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT,


voh tumeeh ho o naaznee.n,
YOU’RE THAT ONE, O DELICATE DARLING!


voh tumeeh ho o mehjabee.n,
YOU’RE THAT ONE, O GORGEOUS!


ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa,
THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT,


haay haay, ek la.Dkee hai jisne jeenaa mushkil kar diyaa…
ALAS! THERE’S A GIRL WHO’S MADE LIFE DIFFICULT…

Love makes life so confusing but without love would you want to live?
