Main Nikla Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Gadar
Main Nikla
I left
Main Nikla Oh Gaddi Le Ke
I left with my lorry (truck)
Oh Raste Par Oh Sadak Mein
Oh on the path , on the road
Ek Mod Aaya Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
Came a turn . I left my heart there
Ek Mod Aaya Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya..
Rab Jaane Kab Guzra Amritsar
God knows when Amritsar went by
Oh Kab Jaane Lahore Aaya
Who knows when Lahore came
Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
I left my heart there
Ek Mod Aaya Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
A turn came . I left my heart there
Us Mod Pe Woh Muti Yaar Mili
On that turn a beautiful girl (village girl) I met
Us Mod Pe Woh Muti Yaar Mili…
Jat Yamla Pagal Ho Gaya
this Jat went mad
Uski Zulfon Ki Chhaon Mein
In the shadows of her locks
Main Bister Daal Ke So Gaya
I spread my bedsheet and slept
Woh Jab Jaga Main Bhaaga
When I woke I ran (sped)
Oh Sab Faatak Sab Signal Main Tod Aaya
All barriers (rail) , all I signals I broke
Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
I left my heart there
Ek Mod Aaya Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
A turn came , I left my heart there
Bas Ek Nazar Usko Dekha
Just one glance I saw her
Bas Ek Nazar Usko Dekha …
Dil Mein Uski Tasveer Lagi
In my heart settled her portrait
Kya Naam Tha Uska Rab Jaane
What was her name , only God knows
Mujhko Raanjhe Ki Heer Lagi
She seemed to be Romeo’s (Ranjha’s ) Juliet (Heer)
Oh Maine Dekha Ek Sapna
Oh I saw a dream
Sang Uske Naam Apna
My name with her
Main Jod Aaya
I joined
Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
I left my heart there
Ek Mod Aaya Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
A turn came I left my heart there
Sharma Ke Woh Yun Simat Gayi
Blushing she twined round me
Sharma Ke Woh Yun Simat Gayi…
Jaise Woh Neend Se Jaag Gayi
As if she had just woken from sleep
Maine Kaha Gal Sun Oh Kudiye
I said listen o girl
Woh Darr Ke Peeche Bhaag Gayi
She got scared and ran behind (friends)
Woh Samjhi Oh Ghar Uske Chori Se Oh Chupke Se
She thought at her house a thief had come
Koyi Chor Aaya
Some thief came
Main Uthe Dil Chhod Aaya
I left my heart there
