truly allured in your love from the start?
Oh, cruel one! Oh, cruel one!

Your eyes, welcome! Your words, welcome!
I went crazy/became a lover a hundred times over.

Infuse the essence of your closeness
in my breath(s), infuse it!
Why should only I make my love evident?
You too say it sometime, say it!
Having taken away my life
each of your excuses will have become deadly

tuu shamaa hai to yaad rakhnaa
maiN bhii huuN parvaanaa
o zaalimaa , o zaalimaa
The story of my love has gotten
started only by you
finished only on you
If you’re a flame then remember,
that I am also a moth/dedicated lover
Oh, cruel one! Oh, cruel one!
diidaar teraa milne ke baad hii
chhuuTe merii angRaaii
tuu hii bataa de kyuuN zaalimaa maiN kɛhlaaii
Only after obtaining a glimpse of you
you shall dismiss my tiredness,
You just explain to me, why I was called cruel

zaalimaa (Hindi: ज़ालिम, Urdu: ظالِم) "Cruel" is a song from the 2017 Indian action drama film "Raees".
In Hindustani language, "zaalimaa" or "zaalimah" is the Arabized female form of "zaalim" a noun or adjective meaning "cruel, oppressor, tyrant", in this case used to refer to a loved one with a firm grip on one's feelings.
The video clip describes the main character, Raees (the Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan), courting and celebrating his wife Aasiya (the Pakistani actress Mahira Khan).
The singers are mostly Arijit Singh for the male parts, with a small section by Harshdeep Kaur for the female parts at the end.
The lyrics were written by the Indian playback singer and lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya, and the music was collectively composed by JAM8, a music company founded by the Indian composer and director Pritam (Chakraborty).
