EK LADKI KO DEKHA
| ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa laga... | When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like... |
| jaise khilata gulaab | like a blooming rose; |
| jaise shaayar ka khvaab | like a poet's dream; |
| jaise ujalii kiran | like a glowing ray of light; |
| jaise ban me.n hiran | like a deer in the forest; |
| jaise chaa.ndanii raat | like a moonlit night; |
| jaise naramii baat | like a soft word; |
| jaise mandir me.n ho ek jalta diya | like a candle burning in the temple. |
| ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa lagaa... | When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like... |
| jaise subah kaa ruup | like the beauty of the morning; |
| jaise saradii kii dhuup | like winter sunshine; |
| jaise viiNaa kii taan | like a note from the lute; |
| jaise ra.ngo.n kii jaan | like the essence of all color; |
| jaise balakhaaye.n bel | like a twisting vine; |
| jaise laharo.n ka khel | like the play of waves; |
| jaise khushbuu liye aaye THa.nDii havaa | like a cool scented wind. |
| ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa laga... | When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like... |
| jaise naachataa mor | like a dancing feather; |
| jaise resham kii Dor | like a silken thread; |
| jaise pariyo.n ka raag | like a fairy melody; |
| jaise sandal kii aag | like the fire of sandalwood; |
| jaise solah si.ngaar | like the sixteen (traditional) ornaments of beauty; |
| jaise ras kii phuhaar | like a refreshing mist; |
| jaise aahistaa aahistaa baDHta nasha | like a slowly growing feeling of intoxication. |
| ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa laga... | When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like... |
PYAR HUA CHUPKE SE
| dil ne kaha chupke se yeh kya hua chupke se | The heart said silently, what is this, that happened silently? |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh dharatii gagan | Why do the earth and sky suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh pagalii pavan | When I asked this, the mad wind said, |
| pyaar hua chupke se yeh kya hua chupke se | love happened silently; what is this, that happened silently? |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh dharatii gagan | Why do the earth and sky suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh pagalii pavan | I asked this, and the mad wind said, |
| pyaar hua chupke se yeh kya hua chupke se | Love happened silently; what is this, that happened silently? |
| titaliyo.n se suna titaliyo.n se suna | I heard from the butterflies... |
| mai.n ne qissa baag ka baag me.n thii ek kalii | the tale of a garden; in the garden was a flower bud. |
| sharmiilii anchhu'ii ek din man chala bha.nvaraa aa gaya | One day the shy bud was visited by a flirtatious bee. |
| khil uTHii voh kalii paaya ruup naya | The bud bloomed wide, it assumed a new form. |
| puuchhtii thii kalii ki mujhe kya hua | The bud asked, what happened to me? |
| phuul ha.Nsa chupke se pyaar hua chupke se | The flower laughed quietly; love happened quietly. |
| mai.n ne baadal se kabhii o mai.n ne baadal se kabhii | Sometimes, from the clouds, I |
| yeh kahaanii thii sunii parvato.n kii ek nadii | have heard this story: there was a mountain river, |
| milne saagar se chalii | it flowed to meet the sea. |
| jhuumatii ghuumatii ho naachatii Doltii | It twisted and staggered, oh, it danced and swayed. |
| kho ga'ii apne saagar me.n jaake nadii | Having gotten there, the river lost itself in the ocean |
| dekhne pyaar kii aisii jaaduugarii | in order to see what sort of magician love is. |
| chaa.nd khila chupke se pyaar hua chupke se | The moon expanded quietly; love happened quietly. |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh dhartii gagan | Why do the earth and sky suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh pagalii pavan | When I asked this, the mad wind said, |
| pyaar hua chupke se yeh kya hua chupke se | love happened silently; what is this, that happened silently? |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh dhartii gagan | Why do the earth and sky suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh pagalii pavan | When I asked this, the mad wind said... |
