dil khiRkii
Touch on each word to display its meaning
dil khiRkii
Heart-Window
ek hazaar jaaneN aisii mujh pe sab fidaa
in sab ko alvidaa
aur ek hazaar baateN aisii sab lagtii haiN sahii
lekin maiN maanuuNgaa nahiiN
A thousand souls surrendered for me,
to all I bid farewell.
And a thousand reasons seem true,
but I won't accept them.
kyoNki kuchh aise haiN savaal
ki jin ke haiN javaab lafzoN meN mumkin hii nahiiN
aur kɛh duuN maiN agar sab paagal is qadr
koii maanegaa nahiiN
For there are questions such,
that answers in words are simply impossible
And if I were so mad as to say all this,
no one would accept it.
bas ab dil khiRkii ko kholo
in darvaazoN ko kholo
[ both lines x2 ]
Just open the heart-window,
open these doors.
[both lines x2]
aur ye darvaaze haiN aise
ki ye khul jaaeN agar to baNd ye hoNge na kabhii
aur dariyaa kuchh haiN aise
jo na bɛhne the kabhii , jab tak ham Duube the nahiiN
And these doors are such,
that if opened, they'll never be closed.
And some waters are such,
that won't flow until we drown in them.
aur ye zaNjiireN haiN aisii
ye na khulnii thii kabhii agar ham jhukte hii nahiiN
aur manzar ye haiN aise
ye na dikhne the kabhii , andar ham ghuste agar nahiiN
And these chains are such,
that won't break unless we yield.
And these vistas are such,
that won't appear unless we enter them.
aur haaN ye saHroN meN chiikho
ye vaadiyoN meN siikho
ki ab dil khiRkii ko kholo
aur haaN ye saHroN meN chiikho
ye tanhaaii meN siikho
ki ab dil khiRkii ko kholo
aur go ham lagte haiN Hairaan
akele pareshaan
lekin ham xush haiN merii jaan
And yes, shout this in the deserts,
learn it in the valleys:
"Now open the heart-window".
And yes, shout it in the deserts,
learn it in solitude:
"Now open the heart-window".
And though we may seem bewildered,
alone, troubled,
we are nevertheless happy, my soul.
aur terii aaNkheN bhii udaas
laNbe bikhre tere baal
lekin ye sach hai merii jaan
ki phuul khilte hii nahiiN
aur ham milte na kabhii
agar ham gumte hii nahiiN
And your eyes too are sad,
your long hair, disheveled,
but this is the truth, my love:
That flowers don't bloom,
and we'll never meet
unless we lose ourselves.
