My Heart Doesn't Listen (to My Words)
maiN ne chhaanii ishq kii galii
bas terii aahTeN milii
maiN ne chaahaa chaahuuN na tujhe
par merii ek na chalii
I have covered the street of love,
(but) I found only your footsteps.
I wanted not to want you,
but it was completely beyond my control.
ishq meN nigaahoN ko ,
miltii haiN baarisheN
phir bhii kyuuN kar rahaa
dil terii xvaahisheN
In love, (my) eyes
have met with (just) rain (tears).
Then why, still, do persist
these desires for you in my heart?
dil merii na sune
dil kii maiN na sunuuN
dil merii na sune
dil kaa maiN kyaa karuuN
[ all stanza x2 ]
(My) heart doesn't listen (to my words),
and I don't listen to (my) heart (words).
(My) heart doesn't listen (to my words),
what shall I do about (my) heart ('s words)?
[all stanza x2]
laayaa kahaaN mujhko , ye moh teraa
raat na ab merii , na meraa saveraa
jaan legaa merii , ye ishq meraa
Where has infatuation with you brought me?
Now neither the night is mine, nor is the morning.
This love of mine will kill me.
ishq meN nigaahoN ko ,
miltii hai baarisheN
phir bhii kyuuN kar rahaa
dil terii xvaahisheN
In love, (my) eyes
have met with (just) rain (tears).
Then why, still, do persist
these desires for you in my heart?
dil merii na sune
dil kii maiN na sunuuN
dil merii na sune
dil kaa maiN kyaa karuuN
[ all stanza x2 ]
(My) heart doesn't listen (to my words),
and I don't listen to (my) heart (words).
(My) heart doesn't listen (to my words),
what shall I do about (my) heart ('s words)?
[all stanza x2]
dil to hai dil kaa kyaa ,
gustaax hai ye
Dartaa nahiiN paagal ,
bebaak hai ye
hai raqiib xud kaa hii ,
ittifaaq hai ye
The heart being the heart,
it is insolent.
The crazy one is not afraid,
it is shameless.
It is an enemy of itself,
what a coincidence it is.
ishq meN nigaahoN ko ,
miltii haiN baarisheN
phir bhii kyuuN kar rahaa
dil terii xvaahisheN
In love, (my) eyes
have met with (just) rain (tears).
Then why, still, do persist
these desires for you in my heart?
dil merii na sune
dil kii maiN na sunuuN
dil merii na sune
dil kaa maiN kyaa karuuN

(My) heart doesn't listen (to my words),
and I don't listen to (my) heart (words).

dil merii na sune (Hindi: दिल मेरी न सुने, Urdu: دِل میری نہ سُنے), roughly translated as "My Heart Does not Listen" is a song from the 2018 Bollywood spy thriller "Genius".
The video clip depicts romantic scenes of the movie between Vasudev (Utkarsh Sharma), a young IT genius with exceptional hacking abilities, and Nandini (Ishita Chauhan), a fellow student and competitor turned into the love of his life.
The song's lyrics were written by Manoj Muntashir.
Many passages of the lyrics idiomatically elide the word baat (word, matter); even the title, which, strictly speaking, should be something like: "My Heart Does not Listen to (My) (Word)(s)".
baat can also be understood in a plural sense.
The chorus follows a similar pattern:
dil merii na sune
(My) heart doesn't listen (to my words),
dil kii maiN na sunuuN
and I don't listen to (my) heart ('s words).
dil merii naa sune
(My) heart doesn't listen (to my words),
dil kaa maiN kyaa karuuN
what shall I do about (my) heart ('s words)?
The music of this and of the rest of the movie's song was composed by Himesh Reshammiya.
The playback singer was Atif Aslam.
