tum kaun piyaa
Touch on each word to display its meaning
tum kaun piyaa ?
Who Are You, Beloved?
biich bhaNvar meN Dole naav
aar rahii na paar gaii
kuchh ishq kii maujeN le DuubiiN
kuchh hijr kii aaNdhii maar gaii
A boat wavers in the middle of a whirlpool
It neither stays, nor goes
A little, (because) the waves/whims of love drag it down
A little, (because) the storms of separation strike it
tum jaane nahiiN ye dard meraa
yaa jaan ke bhii anjaane ho
[ both lines x2 ]
ek pal ye lage apne ho tum
ek pal ye lage begaane ho
You don't know this pain of mine
Or do you, and pretend not to?
[both lines x2]
For a moment, it seemed that you were mine,
the next moment, you seem a stranger
dil na ye pahelii buujh sakaa
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
ye bhed tum hii ab kholo zaraa
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
(My) heart can't understand this puzzle
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
Please, you reveal this secret now:
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
bin bole jo tum kɛhte ho
bin bole hii vo sunuuN maiN
bhar ke tum ko in aaNkhoN meN
kuchh xaab nae se bun luuN maiN
[ all stanza x ]
Whatever you say without speaking
I just hear without speaking
Filling with you these eyes (of mine)
I shall knit (them) in some new dream
[toda la estrofa x2]
na apnaa aap dikhaaii de
jab dekhuuN xud ko darpaNR meN
ye maiN huuN yaa phir tum hii ho
man uljhaa hai is uljhan meN
I am not visible even to myself
when I look myself in the mirror
Is it I, or then is it you?
My mind is tangled in this tangle.
mujhe apne rang meN rang liyaa
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
You died me in your own colors.
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
ye bhed tum hii ab kholo zaraa
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
Please, solve this mystery yourself
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
dil se haiN juRe ye dil apne
kɛhne ko koii rishtaa hii nahiiN
is paakiizaa se baNdhan ko
duniyaa meN koii samjhaa hii nahiiN
[ all stanza x2 ]
These hearts of ours are attached to each other
To say that there isn't any bond
to a bond of such a chaste one …
[all stanza x2]
Simply nobody in the world understood
jab ghaav lago koii tumko
to dard yahaaN bhii hotaa hai
jab nam ho tumhaarii ye aaNkheN
to dil ye meraa bhii rotaa hai
When you suffer some injury
there is also pain over here
Should your eyes get wet,
this heart of mine also cries
tum ne bhii magar puuchh liyaa
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
But even you have asked
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
ye bhed tum hii ab kholo zaraa
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
Please solve this mystery yourself
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
tum kaun piyaa ?
tum kaun piyaa ?
Who are you, beloved?
Who are you, beloved?
