जलते हैं जिस के लिए
jalte haiN jis ke lie
Touch on each word to display its meaning
जलते हैं जिस के लिए
For Which They Burn
जलते हैं जिस के लिए तेरी आँखों के दिये ,
ढूँढ लाया हूँ वही गीत मैं तेरे लिए
जलते हैं जिस के लिए …
[ all stanza x2 ]
I have found those very songs for you, for which,
the lamps of your eyes burn
For which they burn …
[all stanza x2]
दर्द बन के जो मेरे दिल में रहा ,
ढल न सका
जादू बन के तेरी आँखों में रुका ,
चल न सका
[ all stanza x2 ]
What was in my heart became a pain,
could not ease
Becoming magic in your eyes, it stopped,
could not go further
[all stanza x2]
आज लाया हूँ वो ही गीत मैं तेरे लिए
जलते हैं जिस के लिए …
Today I just have brought those songs for you
for which they burn …
दिल में रख लेना इसे हाथों से ये छूटे न कहीं ,
गीत नाज़ुक हैं मेरा शीशों से भी टूटे न कहीं
[ all previous lines x2 ]
गुनगुनाऊँगा वही गीत मैं तेरे लिए
जलते हैं जिस के लिए …
They must be kept in the heart, don't let them leave your hands in any way
A song is even more fragile than glasses, let it not shatter in any way
[all previous lines x2]
I will softly sing those very songs for you
for which they burn …
जब तलक न ये तेरे रस के भरे होठों से मिले ,
यूँ ही आवारा फिरेगा यह तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों के तले
[ both lines x2 ]
Until it doesn't meet your nectar-filled lips
it will roam just like this, a wanderer underneath your locks
[both lines x2]
गाए जाऊँगा वही गीत मैं तेरे लिए
जलते हैं जिस के लिए तेरी आँखों के दिये
ढूँढ लाया हूँ वही गीत मैं तेरे लिए
जलते हैं जिस के लिए …
I will keep on singing this song for you
for which the lamps of your eyes burn
I have found those very songs for you
for which they burn …
