Jaan-e-bahaaraan rashk-e-chaman
Ghunchah-dahan seemeen-badan
Ay jaan-e-mann
Soul of springtime, Envy of the garden
Rosebud-lipped, Silver-bodied
O light of my life!
Jaan-e-bahaaraan rashk-e chaman
Ghunchah-dahan seemeen-badan
Ay jaan-e-mann
Jaan-e-bahaaraan
Soul of springtime, Envy of the garden
Rosebud-lipped, Silver-bodied
O light of my life!
Soul of springtime
Jannat ki hoorein tujh pe fida
Raftaar jaise mauj-e saba
Rangeen-ada tauba-shikan
Ay jaan-e-mann
Jaan-e-bahaaraan
The virgins of paradise offer up their life for you
You move as softly as the breeze at dawn
Entrancingly elegant, Bewitchingly beautiful
O light of my life!
Soul of springtime
Jaan-e-bahaaraan rashk-e chaman
Ghunchah-dahan seemeen-badan

Soul of springtime, Envy of the garden
Rosebud-lipped, Silver-bodied
Entrancingly elegant, Bewitchingly beautiful
Soul of springtime, O light of my life
Jaan-e bahaaran o jaan-e-mann
Nazron ne teri kiya hai sitam
Qaus-e quzah ki yeh rangeeniyaan
Jaadu kiya hai yeh tune sanam
Soul of springtime, O light of my life!
Your beautiful eyes have mercilessly ensnared me
My world is bright with rainbow hues
Such is the spell that you have woven
Taubah hai taubah teri ada
Us ki ‘inaayat husn tera
Rangeen-jamaal naazuk-badan
Gul-pairahan sarw-e chaman
Jaan-e-bahaaraan o jaan-e-mann
God protect us from your deadly allure
Praise goes to Him for creating such loveliness
Sublime and ethereal, Delicate and dainty
Exquisitely graceful, Majestic as the cypress
Soul of springtime, O light of my life
Sham-e furozaan aankhen teri
Har ik nazar men jaadu-gari
Zulfen teri mushk-e khutan
Ay jaan-e-mann
Jaan-e-bahaaraan
Your eyes are luminous as the candle’s flame
Each glance brimming with enchantment
Your tresses have the fragrance of the musk of Tartary
O light of my life!
Soul of springtime
Ay naaz-parwar naaz-aafireen
Laakhon haseen hain tujh sa nahi
Khandah-jabeen, sheereen-sukhan
Ay jaan-e-mann, ay jaan-e-mann
O delicately-formed and tenderly-nurtured beloved
There are thousands of beauties, but none such as you
Smilingly cheerful, Sweet-spoken
O light of my life! O light of my life!
Ghunchah-dahan seemeen-badan
Rangeen-ada tauba-shikan
Har ik nazar mein jaadu-gari
Zulfen tiri mushk-e khutan
Rosebud-lipped, Silver-bodied
Entrancingly elegant, Bewitchingly beautiful
Each glance brimming with enchantment
Your tresses have the fragrance of the musk of Tartary
Ay naaz-parwar naaz-aafireen
Laakhon haseen hain tujh sa naheen
Khandah-jabeen, sheereen-sukhan
Ay jaan-e-mannay jaan-e-mann
O delicately-formed and tenderly-nurtured beloved
There are thousands of beauties, but none such as you
Smilingly cheerful, Sweet-spoken
O light of my life! O light of my life!
Huve faasale
Jhoothe silsile
Toote huve dil jaayein kahaan
Mujhe jo khushi mili naa kabhi
Jaaye tere sang jaaye tu jahaan
A chasm has opened up
All paths have failed
What cure is there now for broken hearts?
The happiness that always remained beyond my reach
May you be blessed with it wherever you may go
Meri yeh dua hai ke tera jeevan yunhi
Chalta rahe saari khwaahishen hon poori
Teri duniya mein na ho yeh kami
Na ho yeh kami
I pray fervently that you continue to prosper in life
And that all your hopes and dreams may come true
May your world never reflect the barrenness of mine
Never reflect the barrenness of mine
Yaad hai mujhe teri har adaa
Muskuraahatein teri
Tera mujh se chupke se yoon
Kehna ke “tu hai meri”
Your each and every memory is etched into my heart
The way you would smile at me
The way you would whisper to me that “You belong only to me”
Jaane yeh kya ho gayaa
Ho gaye judaa
Tere waaste sab hi raaste
Chhod ke main aayi yahaan
Tu toh naa mila
Yoonhi chal diya
Leke mera dil jaane tu kahaan
God only knows how it came to this pass
How we came to be driven apart
I abandoned everything for you
I burnt all my boats to come here to you
But you never became mine
You simply walked away
I don’t know where you disappeared, taking my heart with you
Jaaunga kahaan
Main toh hoon yahaan
Tere dil ki aahaton mein hoon
Where would I go?
I’m still right here
I’m present in every beat of your heart
Sapno mein tu
Sochon mein tu
Har lamhe mein tu
Dhadke yeh dil tere hi liye
Hoga kisi ka na ab yeh
You’re in my dreams when I sleep
In my thoughts when I’m awake
At each and every moment, you’re with me
My heart beats for no one but you
Now it will never belong to anyone else
Ja raha hoon main
Ja rahi hoon main
Ja raha hoon main
Ja rahi hoon main
I am saying goodbye
I am saying goodbye
I am saying goodbye
I am saying goodbye
Har dam naam sambhaal saaeen da

Cling to your Lord’s name at every momen and with each breath
You may thus become steadfast and firm
Har dam naam sambhaal saaeen da

Cling to your Lord’s name at every moment and with each breath
You may thus become steadfast and firm

There is no me, only You!

Jalta raha hai jal jayega jahan
Mit kar bhi mil jayenge iske nishan
Ghata savan ki chhaayi tere aangan pe re
Ghanghor yeh aayi likhne afsane re
Aake jayega duniya se door kahan re
Tinak dhin, tinak dhin, tinak dhin re
Zamane purane ke hain yeh fasane
Jahan ishq jeete, jahan zulam hare
Koyi bekhabar hai, kisi ka asar hai
Tasvvur bhi soch yeh kaisa safar hai
Yeh kaisa safar hai, yeh kaisa safar hai
Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain
Sitaron se aage jahan aur bhi hain
Abhi ishq ke imethan aur bhi hain
Jo kho jaaye raahi tujhe azmane
Uthenge tasvvur ke phir silsile
Jalta raha hai jal jayega jahan
Mit kar bhi mil jayenge iske nishan
Ghata savan chhaayi tere aangan pe re
Ghanghor yeh aayi likhne afsane re
Aake jayega duniya se door kahan re
Tinak dhin, tinak dhin, tinak dhin re
