Dheere Jalna Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Paheli
Movie : Paheli
Song : Dheere Jalna
dheere jalna dheere jalna dheere jalna
Burn slowly…
zindagii kii lau pe jalna
Burn in the flame of life.
dheere dheere dheere dheere dheere jalna
Burn slowly…
zindagii kii lau pe jalna
Burn in the flame of life.
kaanch ka sapna gal hii na jaaye
Your fragile dream might melt;
soch samajhke aanch rakhna think carefully before nursing the flame.
dheere jalna dheere jalna dheere jalna…
Burn slowly…
dheere dheere dheere dheere dheere jalna
Slowly, slowly…burn.
hona hai jo hona hai woh
What has to happen, will happen.
hone se rukta nahiin
It won’t stop from happening,
aasmaan to jhukta nahiin
just as the sky doesn’t lower to the earth.
dheere jalna dheere jalna dheere jalna
Burn slowly…
zindagii kii lau pe jalna
Burn in the flame of life.
dheere jalna…
Burn slowly…
zindagii kii lau pe jalna
burn in the flame of life.
tere ruup kii halkii dhuup men
In the soft sunlight of your beauty,
do hii pal hain jiine hain
I must bask for just a few moments.
terii aankh main dekh chukaa huun
I’ve already seen in your eyes
vo sapne hain siine hai
the dreams you have woven..
aankhon men sapnon kii kirchen hain chhubhtii hain There are splintered
dreams in your eyes; they pierce me through.
dheere jalna dheere jalna dheere jalna
Burn slowly…
dheere dheere dheere dheere dheere jalna
Slowly, slowly…burn
hona hai jo hona hai woh
What has to happen, will happen.
hone se rukta nahiin
It won’t stop from happening,
aasmaan to jhukta nahiin
just as the sky doesn’t lower to the earth.
dheere jalna dheere jalna dheere jalna
Burn slowly…
zindagii kii lau pe jalna
Burn in the flame of life.
dheere dheere jalna
Slowly, slowly burn…
socha na tha zindagii aisa
I never imagined that
phir se milegii jiine ke li’e
I would find life worth living again,
aankhon ko pyaas lagegii that my eyes would thirst
apne hii aansuu piine ke li’e to drink their own tears.
dheere dheere dheere dheere dheere jalna
Slowly, slowly…burn.
zindagii kii lau pe jalna
Burn in the flame of life.
dheere jalna dheere jalna dheere jalna
Burn slowly…
zindagii kii lau pe jalna
Burn in the flame of life.
kaanch ka sapna gal hii na jaaye
Your fragile dream might melt;
soch samajhke aanch rakhna
think carefully before nursing the flame.
dheere jalna dheere jalna dheere jalna…
Burn slowly…
dheere dheere dheere dheere dheere jalna
Slowly, slowly…burn.
hona hai jo hona hai woh
What has to happen, will happen.
hone se rukta nahiin
It won’t stop from happening,
aasmaan to jhukta nahiin
just as the sky doesn’t lower to the earth.
