Roman script
O re suno tum
Mujhe nayoon dekho tum
Aise yoonhi main kaheen na mar jaaoon
Teri nazron se o zaalim
Tera jaadu mujh par sitam hai
Suno re
Oh listen please
Don’t gaze into my eyes thus
I might just end up killed
By the sheer beauty of your eyes, O cruel beloved
The enchantment you weave is a torment to me
Please listen
Aankhen chhupa ke
Mera yeh dil chura ke
Chup se chali tum
Teri be-dardi se main bach paaoon kaise
Sun le zaalim
nahi dekha tujh sa be-wafa
(Be-wafa…)
Turning your gaze away from me
Robbing me of my heart
You stealthily slipped away
How do I escape from your hard-heartedness?
Hear me, my cruel beloved
I have never seen one as faithless as you
Faithless
Nah rahe qaabu is dil par
Tujhe hi chaahoon main dil-bar
I can control my heart no longer
You’re all I want, my enchanter
Mujh ko teri mohabbat ki panaah chaahiye
Aashiqi se mujh ko bas yeh silah chaahiye
Hoon main tera sada tujhse dua chaahiye
Tere bin main nahi mujh ko tu chaahiye
Chaahiye
Chaahiye
I want the sanctuary of your love
This is the only reward I want for loving you so deeply
I am yours forever, and want your blessing
I am nothing without you, all I want is you
I want
I want
Saiyaan sitam-gar nahi milti hai pal bhar
Kuchh to khushi de
Sunaaoon kab se main dukhde apni bar-baadi ke
Mera dil yeh haara sun le
Sun le
Sweetheart, cruel beloved, I get not even a moment of happiness
Give me some joy
For how long must I recite my tale of woe before you?
This heart of mine is lost to you, listen please
Listen please
Nah rahe qaabu is dil par
Tujhe hi chaahoon main dil-bar
I can control my heart no longer
You’re all I want, my enchanter
Mujh ko teri mohabbat ki panaah chaahiye
Aashiqi se mujh ko bas yeh silah chaahiye
Hoon main tera sada tujh se dua chaahiye
Tere bin main nahi mujh ko tu chaahiye
Chaahiye
Chaahiye
I want the sanctuary of your love
This is the only reward I want for loving you so deeply
I am yours forever, and want your blessing
I am nothing without you, all I want is you
I want
I want
Nah rahe qaabu is dil par
Tujhe hi chaahoon main dil-bar
I can control my heart no longer
You’re all I want, my enchanter
Mujh ko teri mohabbat ki panaah chaahiye
Aashiqi se mujh ko bas yeh silah chaahiye
Hoon main tera sada tujh se du’a chaahiye
Tere bin main nahi mujh ko tu chaahiye (x2)
I want the sanctuary of your love
This is the only reward I want for loving you so deeply
I am yours forever, and want your blessing
I am nothing without you, all I want is you
Chaahiye (x8)
I want
