Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:

badan pe sitaare lapeTe huwe,
WITH THE BODY WRAPPED IN STARS,
o jaan-e-tamannaa kidhar jaa rahee  ho,
O LIFE’S DESIRE !  WHITHER GOEST THOU ??
zaraa paas aao,  toh  chayn aa jaaye,
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED,
zaraa paas aao,  toh chayn aa jaaye…
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED !
badan pe sitaare lapeTe huwe,
WITH THE BODY WRAPPED IN STARS,
o jaan-e-tamannaa kidhar jaa rahee  ho,
O LIFE’S DESIRE!  WHITHER GOEST THOU?
zaraa paas aao,  toh  chayn aa jaaye,
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED,
zaraa paas aao,  toh chayn aa jaaye…
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED !!

hameeN  jab naa hoNge toh  ay dil-rubaa,
O HEART-STEALER! WHEN I’ll  EXIST NO MORE,

kise dekh kar haay sharmaaogee,
ALAS! WHOM WILL YOU SEE AND BLUSH ??
naa dekhogee phir tum kabhee  aainaa,
NO MORE WILL YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR,
hamaare binaa roz ghabraaogee,
ALL NERVES, YOU’LL BE  WITHOUT ME EVERYDAY !
badan pe sitaare lapeTe huwe,
WITH THE BODY WRAPPED IN STARS,
o jaan-e-tamannaa kidhar jaa rahee  ho,
O LIFE’S DESIRE!  WHITHER GOEST THOU?
zaraa paas aao,  toh  chayn aa jaaye,
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED,
zaraa paas aao,  toh chayn aa jaaye…
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED!

hai ban-ne saNvarne kaa jab hee mazaa,
IT’S FUN DECKING UP ONLY WHEN
koyee dekhne waalaa, aashiq toh ho,
THERE’S SOME LOVER TO ADMIRE IT!
naheeN toh yeh  jalwe haiN bujhte diye,
OTHERWISE, THESE LUSTRES ARE BUT FLICKERING LAMPS,
koyee miTne waalaa ik aashiq toh ho,
THERE’S TO BE A LOVER, PASSIONATELY IN LOVE !
badan pe sitaare lapeTe huwe,
WITH THE BODY WRAPPED IN STARS,
o jaan-e-tamannaa kidhar jaa rahee  ho,
O LIFE’S DESIRE!  WHITHER GOEST THOU?
zaraa paas aao,  toh  chayn aa jaaye,
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED,
zaraa paas aao,  toh chayn aa jaaye…
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED !

muhabbat kee yeh  in-tehaa ho gayee,
MY LOVE EXCEEDED ITS  BOUNDS
ke mastee  meN tum ko Khudaa keh gayaa,
AS I MERRILY CALLED YOU A DEITY!
zamaanaa yeh  insaaf kartaa rahe,
LET THE WORLD ADJUDICATE
buraa keh gayaa yaa bhalaa keh gayaa,
WHETHER I SAID SOMETHING BAD OR GOOD!
badan pe sitaare lapeTe huwe,
WITH THE BODY WRAPPED IN STARS,
o jaan-e-tamannaa kidhar jaa rahee  ho,
O LIFE’S DESIRE!  WHITHER GOEST THOU?
zaraa paas aao,  toh  chayn aa jaaye,
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED,
zaraa paas aao,  toh chayn aa jaaye…
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED!
badan pe sitaare lapeTe huwe,
WITH THE BODY WRAPPED IN STARS,
o jaan-e-tamannaa kidhar jaa rahee  ho,
O LIFE’S DESIRE!  WHITHER GOEST THOU?
zaraa paas aao,  toh  chayn aa jaaye,
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED,
zaraa paas aao,  toh chayn aa jaaye.
COME NIGH A LITTLE, THAT I MAY BE COMFORTED !!
