Yeh dil, yeh pagal dil mera with English Translation
BaDe busook se, duniya fareb deti hain-2
With great craftiness, the world deceives us
BaDe khuloos se hum eitbaar karte hain
With great naivete, we go on trusting
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi-2
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Iss dasht mein, ek shahar tha-2, woh kyaa hua, aawaragi
In this desert stood a town, what happened to it? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Kal shab mujhe, be-shakl ki aawaz ne chaunka diya-2
Last night a faceless voice startled me
Main ne kaha,"tu kaun hai?"-2, uss ne kaha, aawaragi
I said, "who are you?" it replied, "Loneliness!"
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi-2
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Iss dasht mein, ek shahar tha-2, woh kyaa hua, aawaragi
In this desert stood a town, what happened to it? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera
This heart, this crazy heart of mine
Ek tuu ke sadiyon se mere humraah bhi, humraaz bhi-2
There you are, for centuries, my fellow and confidant
Ek main ke tere naam se-3 aaya shana, aawaragi
Here I am, I had not even heard of you, Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Iss dasht mein, ek shahar tha-2, woh kyaa hua, aawaragi
In this desert stood a town, what happened to it? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera
This heart, this crazy heart of mine
Yeh dard kii tanhaayian-2 yeh dasht ka viiran safar,
The loneliness of the pain, the arid crossing of the desert
Hum log to ukta gayay-2 apni sunaa, aawaragi
We have grown weary, tell us about yourself, Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Iss dasht mein, ek shahar tha-2, woh kyaa hua, aawaragi
In this desert stood a town, what happened to it? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera
This heart, this crazy heart of mine
Ek ajnabee jhaoke ne jab, poochha mere gham ka sabab-2
An unfamiliar gust of wind asked me the reason for my sorrow
Sehraa ki bhiigi reyt par-2, main ne likha, aawaragi
On the wet sands of the desert I wrote, Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Iss dasht mein, ek shahar tha-2, woh kyaa hua, aawaragi
In this desert stood a town, what happened to it? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera
This heart, this crazy heart of mine
Lo, ab to dasht-e-shab ki saarii usratein sone lagii-3
Look, now all the troubles of the desert night have gone to sleep
Ab jaagana hoga hamay-2 kab tak bataa, aawaragi
Tell me. please. how much longer must I stay awake? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Iss dasht mein, ek shahar tha-2, woh kyaa hua, aawaragi
In this desert stood a town, what happened to it? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera
This heart, this crazy heart of mine
Kal raat tanhaa chaand ko, dekhaa tha main ne khwaab mein-3
Last night, alone, I saw the moon in my reverie
Mohsin mujhe, raas aayegi-2 shayad sadaa, aawaragi
Perhaps it will suit me well forever, this Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, aawaragi
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
Iss dasht meN, ek shahar tha-2 woh kyaa hua, aawaragi
In this desert stood a town, what happened to it? Loneliness!
Yeh dil, yeh paagal dil mera, kyon bhuj gaya, Aawaragi!-3
This heart, this crazy heart of mine, why did it die? of loneliness!
