VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS,

aaj kal hamse rooThe, huwe hai.n sanam,

VEXED WITH ME IS MY SWEETHEART THESE DAYS,

pyaar meN ho rahe haiN, sitam pe sitam,

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
