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








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]

MOIST BREEZE AND DUSKY CLOUD

detii  hai terii zulfoN kaa pataa
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,
SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK, SOMEONE TAKE A LOOK!

THERE ON THE MOUNTAIN-TOP, A YOUNG CLOUD
dekho toh zaraa, kyuuN  jhukne lagaa

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,

[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!

SEEING WHICH THE MORNING LAUGHS!

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

(CHORUS) shakila! 

gaal gulaabi kis ke haiN,

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

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,

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?

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?

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

is dil se terii yaad bhulaayi, nahiN jaati, 
I JUST CANNOT ERASE YOUR MEMORY FROM THIS HEART,

is dil se terii yaad bhulaayi, nahiN jaati
I JUST CANNOT ERASE YOUR MEMORY FROM THIS HEART,

yeh pyaar ki,  daulat hai…
‘TIS THE TREASURE OF LOVE,

ae ae, ae ae, ae ae ae

yeh  pyaar ki, daulat hai luTaayi nahiN jaati,
THIS TREASURE OF LOVE CAN’T BE SQUANDERED, 

is dil se terii yaad bhulaayi, nahiN jaati… 
I JUST CANNOT ERASE YOUR MEMORY FROM THIS HEART!

mar mar ke banaayi hai jo tasweer-e-muhabbat,
THE PICTURE OF LOVE THAT I’VE MADE WITH GREAT INTIMACY,

mar mar ke banaayi hai jo,  tasweer-e-muhabbat,
THE PICTURE OF LOVE THAT I’VE MADE WITH GREAT INTIMACY,

ab apne hii haathoN se miTaayi nahiN jaati,
WITH MY OWN HANDS, I CAN’T DESTROY IT NOW! 

is dil se terii yaad bhulaayi, nahiN jaati…
I JUST CANNOT ERASE YOUR MEMORY FROM THIS HEART!

le jaayeN zamaane meN kahaaN, dil kii lagii ko
WHERE IN THE WORLD I SHOULD CARRY THE HEART’S DESIRE,

le jaayeN,  zamaane meN kahaaN, dil ki lagi ko,
WHERE IN THE WORLD SHOULD I CARRY THE HEART’S DESIRE,

ashqoN se toh yeh aag bujhaayi nahiN jaati,
THIS FIRE CAN’T BE DOUSED WITH TEARS!

is dil se terii yaad bhulaayi,  nahiN jaati..
I JUST CANNOT ERASE YOUR MEMORY FROM THIS HEART!

kis dil se ye kehte ho tumheN, dil se bhulaa dooN
WITH WHAT CHEEK DO YOU SAY THAT I SHOULD PUT YOU OUT OF MIND

tumheN, dil se bhulaa dooN, 
I SHOULD PUT YOU OUT OF MIND…

har roz toh yeh dunya basaayi nahiN jaati, 
SUCH HOMES ARE NOT SET UP EVERY DAY!

is dil se terii yaad bhulaayi,  nahiN jaati,
I JUST CANNOT ERASE YOUR MEMORY FROM THIS HEART!

yeh pyaar ki, daulat hai,
‘TIS THE TREASURE OF LOVE…

ae ae, ae ae, ae ae ae

yeh pyaar ki, daulat hai luTaayi nahiN jaati,
‘TIS THE TREASURE OF LOVE,

is dil se terii yaad bhulaayi, nahiN jaati.
I JUST CANNOT ERASE YOUR MEMORY FROM THIS HEART!
