Dil Kehta Hai Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Akele Hum Akele Tum
dil kahata hai chal un se mil
My heart says, go, meet him!
uthte hain qadam ruk jaate hain
I take a step; I falter to a stop.
dil ham ko kabhi samjhaata hai
Sometimes my heart reasons with me;
ham dil ko kabhi samjhaate hain
sometimes I reason with my heart.
ham jab se hain judaa ae mere ham nashin
How long we’ve been separated, my beloved!
yuun dekho to mere daaman mein kya nahin
You look at me so and my intentions are as nothing. (?)
daulat ka chaand hai shoharat ki chaandani
The moon’s wealth lies in the moonlight’s fame.
magar tumhein khoke lage hai mujhe aisa
But since losing you it has seemed to me that
ki tum nahin to kuchh bhi nahin
if you’re not here, there’s nothing else (to life).
tum kya jaano ab ham kitna
Do you know now how much,
dil hi dil mein pachhtaate hain
in my heart of hearts, I regret?
dil ham ko kabhi samjhaata hai
Sometimes my heart reasons with me;
ham dil ko kabhi samjhaate hain
sometimes I reason with my heart.
vo din the kya hasin donon the saath mein
How beautiful were those days when we were together,
aur baahein aap ki thi mere haath mein
and your arms were within my touch.
tum hi tum hai sanam mere din raat mein
In you, beloved, and you alone, are my day and night.
par itni bula.ndi pe tum ho meri jaan
But you are so far above me, my dearest darling.
aaye na daaman ab haath mein
Now there is nothing binding us;
paana tumko mumkin hi nahin
it’s not possible to get you back.
soche bhi to ham ghabaraate hain
Even thinking about it, I fret.
dil ham ko kabhi samjhaata hai
Sometimes my heart reasons with me;
ham dil ko kabhi samjhaate hain
sometimes I reason with my heart.
dil kahata hai chal unse mil
My heart says, go, meet him!
uthte hain qadam ruk jaate hain…
I take a step; I falter to a stop.
