Chaand Akela Gaaye Soche Jaaye The lonely moon sings and keeps thinking,
Taaron Me Koi Mera Naam searching for my name among the stars.
Kyun Akela Main Haaye Oh, why am I so alone?
Aisa Kya Ho Jaaye What could possibly happen,
Ki Tu Jo Dekhle Zara if you’d just look my way for a moment?
Zaalima Zaalima-Aa-Aa Oh cruel one, oh heartless one.
Tu Jo Dekhle Zara If you’d just look my way.
Zaalima Zaalima-Aa-Aa Oh cruel one, oh heartless one.
Tu Jo Dekhle Zara If you’d just look my way.
Premi Ek Dusre Se Kehte Nahi Thakte Lovers never tire of telling each other,
Ki Mujhe Tumse Prem Hai “I’m in love with you.”
Mujhe Tumse Prem Hai “I’m in love with you.”
Ki Unhe Dar Hai Because they’re afraid,
Ke Ham Yaha Jalte Hi Rahe that we’ll just keep burning here,
Aur Doosri Taraf Pata Hi Na Chalu and the other person won’t even notice.
Jaise Jaise Likhun Kaagaz Pe Yeh Akshar As I write these letters on paper,
Aisa Lagata Hai Mujhe Ke Aksar it feels like quite often,
Tujhe Dil Ki Baate Kehne Ke Kho Deta Hun Avsar I lose the chance to tell you what’s in my heart.
Ye Pehli-Aakhri Baar Hai This is the first and last time.
Dil Ka Mere Haal This is the state of my heart.
Dil Ka Meri Ye Akhbaar Hai This is the daily news of my heart.
Eklauta Aakhirkaar Hai It’s the only thing left, finally.
Tu Faadiyo Na Padh Kar Don’t tear it after you read it.
Agar Ye Koi Padh Raha Hai If someone is reading this,
Toh Ye Woh Pehle Hi Samjhta Hai then they already understand,
Ki Maine Karli Aatmh#tya Hai that I’ve taken the final exit.
Mein Marr Chuka Hun Me Agni Me Jhulaskar I’m already dead, scorched within the flames.
Ye Koi S#icide Note Nahi This isn’t just a final note of despair,
Ye Glue Tight Rope Hai it’s a ‘glue-tight rope’ that binds me.
Crude Dark Joke Me Inside this crude, dark joke,
Me Ek Blue White Hope Hai I’m a flicker of blue-white hope.
Mein Bachpan Se Hi Rehta Bhot Chup Tha I’ve been very quiet since I was a child.
Apni Baate Keh Nahi Pata Toh Khud Me Chhip Tha I couldn’t speak my mind, so I hid within myself.
Agar Tu Ye Padhte-Padhte Soche If you wonder while reading this,
Ye Likha Kavita Jaisa Kyun Woh Isliye why it’s written like a poem, it’s because,
Ki Mein Hun Kavita Likhta I’m someone who writes poetry.
Jiske liye Ye Mein Likha Main Ye Pyaar Ki Zabani For the one I wrote this tale of love for,
Sala Usey Padhne Ki Main Maangta Reh Gya Bhiksha damn it, I spent my life begging her just to read it.
Aur Aakhirkaar Paas Aayi Lekin Faad Diye Panne And finally she came close, but she tore the pages.
Usne Muh Ke Aage Aage Kaat Diye Kanne She just cut me off, right to my face.
Abhi Chaand Hai Akela Now the moon is alone,
Aur Udas Hai Woh Sachme and it’s truly sad.
Taaron Me Jo Kiya Uske Khukhaar Se Hai Sadme It’s in shock from the ‘brutal trauma’ it faced among the stars.
Bhai Meri Chhod Brother, forget about me.
Ye Shabd Hai Tere Liye These words are for you.
Abhi Agar Tu Padh Chuka If you’ve read everything,
Jo Bhi Likha Upar Sab written above so far,
Toh Mein Marrke Bhi Amar Hun then I’m immortal even in death.
Sachme Ban Chuka Hun Kavi I’ve truly become a poet.
Kabhi Mile Toh Batana If we ever meet, tell me,
Ki Ye Kavita Kaisi Lagi how did you like this poem?
Chaand Akela Gaaye Soche Jaaye The lonely moon sings and keeps thinking,
Taaron Me Koi Mera Naam searching for my name among the stars.
Kyun Akela Main Haaye Oh, why am I so alone?
Aisa Kya Ho Jaaye What could possibly happen,
Ki Tu Jo Dekhle Zara if you’d just look my way for a moment?
Zaalima Zaalima-Aa-Aa Oh cruel one, oh heartless one.
Tu Jo Dekhle Zara If you’d just look my way.
Zaalima Zaalima-Aa-Aa Oh cruel one, oh heartless one.
Tu Jo Dekhle Zara If you’d just look my way.
Zaalima Zaalima Tu Jo Dekhle Zara Zaalima Zaalima-Aa-Aa Tu Jo Oh cruel one, if you’d just look my way, oh heartless one.
Chamakte Chaand Ko Mein I’ll take the shining moon,
Haatho Me Yu Bharlu and hold it in my hands like this.
Ae Raat Andhi Tu Ho Jaaye Oh night, may you turn blind.
Damakta Suraj Peeke After drinking in the glowing sun,
Ambar Me Aise Jalu I’ll burn in the sky in such a way,
Kirano Se Koi Bach Na Paaye that no one can escape the rays.
Kuch Ahesas Mujhko Bhi Ho May I feel something too.
Kuch Ahesas Tujhko Bhi Ho May you feel something too.
Kuch Mein Aisa Kahu Tu Sun Jo Paaye May I say something that you can finally hear.
Sheher Me Jab Raat Ho When night falls over the city,
Bas Apni Baat Ho let it just be about us.
Ke Mein Aise Marun So that if I die this way,
Ham Amar Ho Jaaye we’ll become immortal together.
Chaand Akela Gaaye Soche Jaaye The lonely moon sings and keeps thinking,
Taaron Me Koi Mera Naam searching for my name among the stars.
Kyun Akela Main Haaye Oh, why am I so alone?
Aisa Kya Ho Jaaye What could possibly happen,
Ki Tu Jo Dekhle Zara-Aaaaa if you’d just look my way?
Aisi Woh Jwaala Ho Let there be such a flame,
Jahan Ham Do Dil Se Dil Mile where our two hearts meet as one.
Agni Ki Varsha Ho Let there be a rain of fire.
Parvana Jalta Hi Rahe Let the ‘parvana’ – the lover’s moth – keep burning.
Aisi Woh Jwaala Ho Let there be such a flame,
Jahan Ham Do Dil Se Dil Mile where our two hearts meet as one.
