Aahista Aahista
King • From “Raja Hindustani”
Aahista Aahista Lyrics Translation King | Raja Hindustani
King notes how love lives in half-memories and half-taverns, showing a heart split by absence. He mentions scattered hair and open skies, describing freedom that feels like loss. One line stands out: ‘Slowly, you’ve dissolved, even in the winds.’
Maine dekha tujhe apni nigaaho meinI’ve seen you in my own eyes.
Kya tune dekha mujhe khada teri raaho meinDid you see me standing in your path?
Faasle baandh ke kaise rakhengeHow will we keep these distances bound?
Tum kabhi aaye na baaho meinYou never came into my arms.
Lafzo se bol de jhoothSpeak a lie with your words,
Ke sach kabhi pahuche na kaano meinso the truth never reaches my ears.
Meri umar ki zidd hai kategiMy life’s stubbornness will see it through,
Aadhi teri yaado meinhalf in your memories,
Aur aadhi maikhaano meinand the other half in ‘taverns’.
Farak pehla ke tu mujhe bhool chukiThe first difference is that you’ve forgotten me,
Main bhoola na kuch bhiwhile I hasn’t forgotten anything.
Farak doosra maine tujhe pakda nahiThe second difference is that I didn’t hold you back,
Tu mujhe chhod ke khush thias you were happy leaving me.
Farak teesra aaya teri kasamThe third difference has arrived, I swear on you,
Main jee na sakoongathat I won’t be able to live.
Koi mujhko sambhaaloSomeone, please look after me.
Aahista aahista hawaaon mein bhiSlowly, even in the winds,
Aahista aahista tu ghula haislowly, you’ve dissolved.
Aahista aahista main dhoondhu tujheSlowly, I search for you.
Aahista aahista tu kaha haiSlowly, where are you?
Tu thodi lage pahuch se doorYou seem a little out of reach.
Aisi baat bhi maine paas aa kar jaaniI realized this only after getting close.
Dekha tujhe baal bikhereI saw you with your hair scattered.
Khule aasmaan mein tu karti hai manmaaniYou do as you please under the open sky.
Jal jaayegi tuYou’ll burn away,
Aankhein meri jaana sholo se liptibecause my eyes, darling, are wrapped in flames.
Mil jaayegi mujheI’ll finally find,
Dil mein khaali pade kono se muktifreedom from the empty corners of my heart.
Jadon hassdi soni lagdi tu badiWhen you laugh, you look so beautiful.
Jado nachdi dila utte jaadugariWhen you dance, it’s like magic on our hearts.
Tujhe paane ki koshishe bhi kitni kariI’ve made so many attempts to win you over.
Main dhoondhu tujhe mil ja kahiI’m looking for you; please find me somewhere.
Aahista aahista hawaaon mein bhiSlowly, even in the winds,
Aahista aahista tu ghula haislowly, you’ve dissolved.
Aahista aahista main dhoondhoo tujheSlowly, I search for you.
Aahista aahista tu kaha haiSlowly, where are you?
Jhalak teri main keh doon nazaaraI’d call a glimpse of you a beautiful sight.
Sab mere paas phir bhi tarsa main ja rahaI have everything, yet I’m still longing.
Jo tu sunna chaahe kehna nahi chah rahaI don’t want to say what you want to hear.
Khud hee ban jaane de kahaaniLet the story write itself.
Ho tere bina lagta nahi dil mera kahiMy heart doesn’t feel at home anywhere without you.
Meri jaan phasi teri raaho meinMy life is stuck in your paths.
Mushkil hui badi mushkil huiIt’s been hard, it’s been so hard,
Tujhe saanso mein apni basaane mein jaanato keep you settled within my breaths, darling.
Jado hassdi soni lagdi tu badiWhen you laugh, you look so beautiful.
Jado nachdi dilla utte jaadugariWhen you dance, it’s like magic on our hearts.
Tujhe paane ki koshishe bhi kitni kariI’ve made so many attempts to win you over.
Main dhoondhoo tujhe mil ja kahiI’m looking for you; please find me somewhere.
Aahista aahista hawaaon mein bhiSlowly, even in the winds,
Aahista aahista tu ghula haislowly, you’ve dissolved.
Aahista aahista main dhoondhoo tujheSlowly, I search for you.
Aahista aahista tu kaha haiSlowly, where are you?
Aahista aahista aahistaSlowly, slowly, slowly,
Hawaaon mein bhieven in the winds.
Aahista aahista aahistaSlowly, slowly, slowly,
Tu ghula haiyou’ve dissolved.
Aahista aahista aahistaSlowly, slowly, slowly,
Main dhoondhoo tujheI search for you.
Aahista aahista aahistaSlowly, slowly, slowly,
Tu kaha haiwhere are you?
