Ishq Hua Kaise Hua Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Ishq
ishq huwa kaise huwa
We fell in love! [lit.: love happened] How did it happen?
achchha huwa jaise huwa
It happened well the way it happened!
na main jaanuun na tu jaane
Neither I nor you might know
kyon ho gaye ham diwaane
why we became crazy (for each other).
ishq huwa kaise huwa
We fell in love! How did it happen?
achchha huwa jaise huwa
It happened well the way it happened!
jhuki jhuki nazarein hain
We look at each other on the sly; (lit.: the gazes are lowered)
ruki ruki saansein hain
our breaths catch (lit.: the breaths are halting)
dhak dhak karta hai dil
my heart skips a beat! [lit.: the heart thuds. Again, this is a Hindi turn of phrase that doesn’t go over too well in English.]
jaage jaage armaan hai
My desire is eternally awake;
soya soya yeh jahaan hai
this world is asleep;
chori chori aake mujhe mil
Come to meet me in secret.
sun…zara
Just listen.
gun…gaati hai hava
The wind is singing.
phaili havaaon par apni khabar
The news is on the spreading winds
pyaar kiya hai to phir kya hai Dar
Once you’ve loved, what’s (the use of) fear?
joshili baatein yuun na kar
Don’t talk so passionately!
pyaar hai to josh bhi hai
Passion and love go hand in hand. [lit: if there’s love, there’s also passion.]
hona hai kya hosh bhi hai
Keep a grip on discretion. [lit.: what must be, must also be sensible.]
na main jaanuun na tu jaane
Neither I nor you might know
kyon ho gaye ham diwaane
why we became crazy (for each other).
ishq huwa kaise huwa
We fell in love! How did it happen?
achchha huwa jaise huwa
It happened well the way it happened!
dhire dhire haule haule
Slowly and subtly,
haule haule dhire dhire
subtly and slowly,
dil ko mili hai manzil
(my) heart has found its destination.
bhigi bhigi raaton mein
In the wet, wet nights
pyaari pyaari baaton mein
and in loving, loving talk
kho’a kho’a rahata hai dil
(my) heart remains lost.
ruk…hamsafar
Hold up, (my) life’s companion.
jhuk… jhukti hai nazar
(My) gaze is lowered [from shyness or coyness].
ek pal hamein tum bin chain kahaan
One moment without you, and where is my peace?
donon dilon ki hai ek dasta
Both our hearts leap as one.
phir bhi hain kyon ye duuriyaan
Then why do these distances yet remain (between us)?
dekh mujhe yuun na sata
Look at me; don’t tease like this
hona hai kya kisko pata
Who knows what must be (or ‘become of this’).
na main januun na tu jaane
Neither I or you might know
kyon ho gaye ham diwaane
why we became crazy (for each other).
ishq huwa kaise huwa
We fell in love! How did it happen?
achchha huwa jaise huwa
It happened well the way it happened!
