Kitabe Bahut Si Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Baazigar
kitaabein bahut si padhi hongi tum ne
You must have read a great many books,
magar koi chehara bhi tum ne padha hai
but you’ve also read a certain face.
padha hai meri jaan nazar se padha hai
I read it, my love, I read it with a glance.
bataa mere chehare pe kya kya likha hai
So tell me, what all is written on my face?
umangein likhi hain jawaani likhi hai
Great feeling is written there; youth is written there;
tere dil ki saari kahaani likhi hai
the whole story of your heart is written there.
kahin haal-e-dil bhi sunaata hai chehara
Somehow the face also tells the state of the heart.
na bolo to phir bhi bataata hai chehara
Even if you don’t speak, your face speaks (for you).
yeh chehara diqqat mein ek aaina hai
In distress, this face is like a mirror.
bata mere chehare pe kya kya likha hai
So tell me, what all is written on my face?
aakhir ko kahin ham ko ulfat nahin hai
When it comes down to it, perhaps I don’t love you.
kahogi bhi kaise muhabbat nahin hai
How can you say you don’t love me!
bade aaye chehare pe yeh marnevaale
Perhaps the one who’s fallen for my face
dikhaave ka aise vafaa karnevaale just
puts on the appearance of a faithful lover!
dikhaava nahin pyaar ki intaha hai
This is not a show, but love’s utmost extreme!
bata mere chehare pe kya kya likha hai
So tell me, what all is written on my face?
