पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
pukaartaa chalaa huuN maiṁ
Touch on each word to display its meaning
पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
I have set out, seeking
पुकारता चला हूँ मैं
गली गली बहार की
बस एक छाँव ज़ुल्फ़ की
बस एक निगाह प्यार की
I have set out, seeking
(in) every lane of spring
(for) just one shade of tresses
(for) just one look of love
ये दिल्लगी ये शोख़ियाँ सलाम की
यहीं तो बात हो रही है काम की
कोई तो मुड़ के देख लेगा इस तरफ़
कोई नज़र तो होगी मेरे नाम की
Greetings to these jests, these coquetries
this talk is being useful
Someone will turn back and start looking this way
Some gaze will be to my name
सुनी मेरी सदा तो किस यक़ीन से
घटा उतर के आ गई ज़मीन पे
रही यही लगन तो ऐ दिल-ए-जवान
असर भी हो रहेगा एक हसीन पे
On hearing my call, with what a faith
did clouds descend and come to earth!
If this longing persists, oh, young heart,
there will be an effect on a beauty.
