RAJA KO RANI SE
| CHORUS: | |
| raaja ko raanii se pyaar ho gayaa | The king fell in love with the queen; |
| pahalii nazar me.n pahala pyaar ho gaya | from the very first glance sprang his very first love. |
| dil jigar dono.n ghaayal hu'e | The hearts of both were wounded |
| tiir-e-nazar dil ke paar ho gaya | by an arrowed glance that breached the hearts' walls. |
| Chorus | |
| raaja ko raanii se pyaar ho gayaa... | The king fell in love with the queen... |
| raaho.n se raahe.n baaho.n se baahe.n milke bhii miltii nahii.n | Yet in finding the path, in discovering an embrace, neither their path nor their embrace is assured. |
| hota hai aksar armaan kii kaliyaa.n | This often happens; the buds of desire, |
| khilke bhii khiltii nahii.n | blossoming, do not flower. |
| phir bhii na jaane kyo.n nahii.n maane... | Even so, who knows why it did not obey... |
| diiwaana dil beqaraar ho gaya | the mad heart grew uncontrollably restless. |
| raaja ko raanii se pyaar ho gaya... | The king fell in love with the queen; |
| raanii ko dekho nazare.n milii to | Look at the queen; meeting her gaze, |
| aa.nkhe.n churaane lagii | she hid her eyes (for shame). |
| kartii bhii kya voh sar ko jhukaake | What else could she do; bowing her head, |
| ka.ngana ghumaane lagii | her bangles began to twirl. |
| raaja ne aisa jaaduu chalaaya... | Such was the spell that the king cast... |
| na karte karte ikaraar ho gaya | even as she demurred, she consented. |
