KEHNA HI KYA
| gumsum gumsum gup-chup | Silent and still, |
| gumsum gum gup-chup | frozen, lost in thought, |
| gumsum gumsum gup-chup gumsum gum gup-chup | silent and still, lost in secret thought, |
| halchal halchal kho ga'ii terii ho.nTH hai.n tere chup | You've gone utterly still; your lips are silent. |
| khalbal khalbal kho ga'ii terii baiTHii hai tuu chup | Your commotion has died down; you sit silently, |
| pyaare pyaare chehare ne par de diya ishaara | but your lovely, lovely face has betrayed you. |
| dekha terii aa.nkho.n ne hai sapna koii pyaara | Your eyes have beheld some lovely dream. |
| hamse gorii na tuu sharmaa kah de hamse zaraa... | Don't shy away from us, beautiful girl; speak to us a little. |
| CHORUS: | |
| kahana hii kya yeh nain ek anjaan se jo mile | What can I say? My glance met with a stranger, |
| chalne lage muhabbat ke jaise ye silsile | and it was as if love's patterns were set into motion. |
| armaan naye aise dil me.n khile jinko kabhii mai.n na jaanuu.n | New desires bloomed in my heart such as I've never known. |
| vo hamse ham unse kabhii na mile kaise mile dil na jaanuu.n | We've never met each other; how our hearts met, I cannot know. |
| ab kya kare.n kya naam le.n kaise unhe.n mai.n pukaaruu.n | What should I do now? What name should I take, how should I call out to him? |
| Chorus | |
| pahalii hii nazar me.n kuchh ham kuchh tum ho jaate hai.n yuu.n gum | At first glance, somehow we both become lost. |
| naino.n se barse rimjhim ham pe pyaar ka saavan | From our gazes, the patter of love's first rainfall showers down. |
| sharm thoRii thoRii hamko aa'e to nazare.n jhuk jaa'e.n | I grow bashful and lower my eyes. |
| sitam thoRa thoRa ham pe shokh hawaa bhii kar jaa'e | A mischievious breeze plays havoc with me also; |
| aisii chale aa.nchal uRe dil me.n ek tuufaan uTHe | it makes my scarf fly up as it flows, and in my heart a storm arises. |
| ham to luT ga'e khaRe hii khaRe | Simply standing still, I was plundered, looted. |
| Chorus | |
| gumsum gumsum gup-chup gumsum gup-chup... | Silent, lost in secretive thought, |
| halchal halchal kho ga'ii terii ho.nTH hai.n tere chup | you've gone utterly still; your lips are silent. |
| khalbal khalbal kho ga'ii terii baiTHii hai tuu chup | Your commotion has died down; you sit silently, |
| pyaare pyaare chehare ne par de diya ishaara | but your lovely, lovely face has betrayed you. |
| dekha terii aa.nkho.n ne hai sapna koii pyaara | Your eyes have beheld some lovely dream. |
| hamse gorii na tuu sharmaa kah de hamse zaraa... | Don't shy away from us, beautiful girl; speak to us a little. |
| in ho.nTHo.n ne maa.nga sargam sargam tuu aur tera hii pyaar hai | These lips begged for a melody; it is you and your love. |
| aa.nkh DHuu.nRHe hai jisko hardam hardam tuu aur tera hii pyaar hai | That which these eyes have ceaselessly searched for is you and your love. |
| mahafil me.n bhii tanha hai dil aise dil aise | Even in a crowd, my heart feels lonely, as though |
| tujhe khona de Darta hai yeh aise yeh aise | it fears that it might lose you. |
| aaj milii aisii khushii jhuum uTHii duniya yeh merii | Today I found such happiness that the very world sways and swells. |
| tumko paaya to paayii zi.ndagii | When I found you, I found life. |
| Chorus | |
| kahna hii kya yeh nain ek anjaan se jo mile | What can I say? My glance met with a stranger, |
| chalne lage muhabbat ke jaise ye silsile | and it was as if love's patterns were set into motion. |
| kahna hii kya | What can I say? |
EK HO GAYE HUM AUR TUM
| CHORUS: | |
| ek ho ga'e ham aur tum to uR ga'ii.n nii.nde.n re | When you and I became one, our sleep went winging away, |
| aur khankii paayal mastii me.n to ka.ngan kha.nke re | and in pleasure your anklets and bangles clashed. |
| hamma hamma... | |
| ae pahalii baar mile tum pe dam ye nikale | Since we first met, I haven't been able to catch my breath. |
| tum pe yeh jawaanii dhiire dhiire maddham machale re | This youth slowly grows fractious for you. |
| khilii chaa.ndanii jaise yeh badan jaana mila tumko | The body you've been granted is like blooming moonlight. |
| man me.n socha tha jaisa ruup tera aaya nazar hamko | The beauty I'd imagined in my mind appeared before me in you. |
| sitam khulii khulii yeh sanam gorii gorii yeh baahe.n kartii hai yuu.n | Your fair, fair beauty wrecks me when you take me in your embrace. |
| hame.n tumne jab gale lagaaya tab kho hii ga'e ham to | When you took me in your arms, I became lost to the world. |
| hamma hamma... | |
| Chorus | |
| khulii zulf me.n terii aa.nkho.n me.n madhosh ho ga'e | I've grown drunk on your flowing locks, in your eyes. |
| gore gaal pe bhige ho.nTH pe yaara fida ho ga'e | I sacrifice myself to your pale cheeks and moist lips. |
| sanam pyaar me.n bhiigii raat me.n pyaas jagaate rahe | Beloved, I thirsted ever more for our love-drenched nights. |
| khatm na ho sanam pyaar ka mausam chaahate.n baRHtii rahe.n | May this season of love, may our desires never cease; may they only keep increasing! |
| hamma hamma... | |
| Chorus |
