Expectant
maiN yahaaN huuN muntazir
tum vahaaN ho bexabar
[ both lines x2 ]
aur halke halke se man chaahe
maaNgaa jis ko vo mil jaae
Here I am, expectant
you are there, unaware
[both lines x2]
and gradually, my heart prays
to join the one (I) asked for
ye raat tham jaae sau saal ko
aur ek ho jaaeN ham tum
Would this night stand still for a hundred years
and you and I be one!
maiN yahaaN huuN muntazir
tum vahaaN ho bexabar
aur halke halke se man chaahe
maaNgaa jis ko vo mil jaae
ye raat tham jaae sau saal ko
aur ek ho jaaeN ham tum
Here I am, expectant
you are there, unaware
and gradually, my heart prays
to join the one (I) asked for
Would this night stand still for a hundred years
and you and I be one!
duur se aatii haiN pariyaaN
sunaatii haiN ik kahaanii mujhe baar baar
tum yahaaN pe magar
vo , vahaaN pe kare teraa intazaar
ab maano nahiiN haar
Fairies come from afar
and narrate to me a story again and again
You are over here
but (he) is over there waiting for you
provided you don't become dispirited
socho na , chal paRo
jaao , na na Daro
jaante ho tum us ke dil kaa raaz
shaayad ghabraaegii , vo na kɛh paaegii
tum na Darnaa na piichhe haTnaa
kɛh denaa dil kii baat
Don't think, just go
Go, no, don't fear
You know (her) heart's secret
Perhaps she will be confused, won't manage to speak (out)
Don't you fear, don't you fall back
say the word of your heart!
maiN yahaaN huuN muntazir
tum vahaaN ho bexabar
aur halke halke se man chaahe
maaNgaa jis ko vo mil jaae
Here I am, expectant
you are there, unaware
and gradually, my heart prays
to join the one (I) asked for
ye raat tham jaae sau saal ko
aur ek ho jaaeN ham tum
[ both lines x2 ]
Would this night stand still for a hundred years
and you and I be one!
