KAHIN AAG LAGE
| jaana piiR sahaa na jaa'e | Beloved, the pain can't be endured. |
| ja.ngal me.n hai.n bole koyal kuu kuu kuu... | In the jungle the cuckoos are crying kuu kuu kuu! |
| kahii.n aag lage lag jaa ve | If a fire sparks, let it burn! |
| koii naag Da.nse Da.ns jaa ve | If a cobra bites, let it! |
| kabhii gagan gire gir jaa ve | Let the sky fall down! |
| chaahe kuchh bhii ho jaa'e | It doesn't matter what happens! |
| is TuuTe dil kii piiR sahii na jaa'e | The pain of this broken heart can't be endured. |
| kahii.n aag lage lag jaa ve | If a fire sparks, let it burn! |
| koii naag Da.nse Da.ns jaa ve | If a cobra bites, let it! |
| kabhii gagan gire gir jaa ve | Let the sky fall down! |
| chaahe kuchh bhii ho jaa'e | It doesn't matter what happens! |
| is TuuTe dil kii piiR sahii na jaa'e | The pain of this broken heart can't be endured. |
| aa'o saiyyan... | Come back, beloved! |
| jaa'e jaan na jaa'e jiya | Love doesn't die along with the body. |
| jaa'e jiya na jaa'e jiya | But if love dies, life dies. |
| har vaqt guzar jaata hai | The ages pass, |
| par dard THahar jaata hai | but pain lingers forever. |
| sab bhuul bhii jaa'e | Everything might be forgotten, |
| koii kuchh yaad magar aata hai | but some memories linger forever. |
| jis peR ko bel yeh lipaTe | The tree this vine winds around |
| voh suukhe TuuTe simTe | will wither and break. |
| phuulo.n ke baag ka waada | Love promises a flower garden, |
| par kaa.nTe phale zyaada | but more often nourishes thorns. |
| na davaa lage na du'aa lage | Neither medicine nor prayers can cure you; |
| yeh prem rog hai | this love is an incurable illness. |
| kahii.n aag lage lag jaa ve... | If a fire sparks, let it burn... |
| koii naag Da.nse Da.ns jaa ve | If a cobra bites, let it! |
| kabhii gagan gire gir jaa ve | Let the sky fall down! |
| chaahe kuchh bhii ho jaa'e | It doesn't matter what happens! |
| is TuuTe dil kii piiR sahii na jaa'e | The pain of this broken heart can't be endured. |
| aa'o saiyyan... | Come back, beloved! |
| pyaar baDa harjaa'ii hai | Love is so fickle, |
| par pyaar bina tanhaa'ii hai | but without love comes loneliness. |
| dil mat dena kahate hai.n | They say, don't give away your heart. |
| sab dil dete rahte hai.n | But everyone keeps giving it away. |
| jab nii.nd chura lete hai.n | When (lovers) rob you of your sleep, |
| raat jage maza dete hai.n | those sleepless nights are a pleasure; |
| khushiyaa.n isi ke gam se | your pain brings you happiness. |
| raunaq isi ke dam se | His false promise lends your life radiance. |
| koi vachan nahii.n chalta hai | No promise ever works; |
| koi jatan nahii.n chalta hai | no amount of trying will make it work. |
| na ho yeh rog to saare log le le ve jog ho | If this disease called love didn't exist, everyone would be a wiseman. |
| ja.ngal me.n hai.n bole koyal kuu kuu kuu... | In the jungle the cuckoos are crying kuu kuu kuu! |
| kahii.n aag lage | If a fire sparks, |
| koii naag Da.nse | if a cobra bites, |
| kabhii gagan gire | if the sky should fall, |
| chaahe kuchh bhii ho jaa'e | it doesn't matter what happens! |
| is suune dil kii piiR sahii na jaa'e... | The pain of this barren heart can't be endured... |
| aa'o saiyyan... | Come back, beloved! |
