Revamped, Vol. 3 (Remix)’s Dil Pe Zakham Khate Hain Hindi Lyrics English Meaning
Nusrat sings about love as a willing sacrifice, his voice trembling with raw devotion: ‘I take these wounds upon my heart / And I’m ready to give up my life.’ The lyrics sting with specific pain—the ache of a lover pretending to be strangers, the ritual of defeat performed in public gatherings. Every verse builds like a courtroom drama where the heart always loses.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainI take these wounds upon my heart.
Jaan Se Guzarate HainAnd I’m ready to give up my life.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainI welcome the scars upon my heart,
Jaan Se Guzarate Hainand I’m passing from this life.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainI embrace the pain within my heart,
Jaan Se Guzarate Hainand I’m willing to lose my life.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainI carry these wounds deep in my heart,
Jaan Se Guzarate Hainand I’m prepared to give up my life.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainI take all these wounds upon my heart,
Jaan Se Guzarate Hainand I’m on the verge of passing on.
Jurm Sirf Itnaa HaiMy only crime is this,
Jurm Sirf Itnaa Haimy one and only crime is this.
Unnko Pyaar Karte HainThat I’m in love with them.
Jurm Sirf Itnaa HaiMy only crime is just this,
Unnko Pyaar Karte Hainthat I’ve given my love to them.
Jurm Sirf Itnaa HaiMy crime is only this,
Unnko Pyaar Karte Hainthat I can’t help but love them.
Aitbaar Badhta HaiMy conviction only grows stronger,
Aur Bhi Muhabbat Kaand with it, so does this love.
Aitbaar Badhta HaiMy faith in this love just deepens,
Aur Bhi Muhabbat Kaand my affection grows even more.
Jab Woh Ajnabi BannkarEspecially when they become a stranger,
Jab Woh Ajnabi Bannkarjust when they pretend not to know me,
Paas Se Guzaratein Hainand pass by so closely.
Jab Woh Ajnabi BannkarWhen they become a stranger
Paas Se Guzaratein Hainand walk right past me.
Jab Woh Ajnabi BannkarWhen they decide to be a stranger,
Jab Woh Ajnabi Bannkarjust when they choose to be a stranger,
Paas Se Guzaratein Hainand pass me by without a word.
Jab Woh Ajnabi BannkarWhen they act like a stranger
Paas Se Guzaratein Hainand just pass me by.
Unnki Anjuman Bhi HaiThere is their grand ‘gathering’,
Haar Ki Rasam Bhi Haiand with it, the ritual of my defeat.
Unnki Anjuman Bhi HaiTheir court is in session,
Haar Ki Rasam Bhi Haiand the tradition of loss is alive and well.
Dekhna Hai DeewaneNow we have to see, oh devoted one,
Dekhna Hai Deewaneit remains to be seen, my crazy heart,
Abb Kahaan Thaharte Hainwhere you will finally find your rest.
Dekhna Hai DeewaneLet’s find out, my devoted heart,
Abb Kahaan Thaharte Hainwhere you’ll end up staying now.
Dekhna Hai DeewaneWe just have to see, oh passionate one,
Abb Kahan Thaharte Hainwhere do you go from here.
Thaharte Hain Thaharte HainWhere will you stay, where will you stay.
Dekhna Hai DeewaneWe have to see, my foolish heart,
Abb Kahaan Thaharte Hainwhere you’ll finally decide to rest.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainWe take these wounds upon our hearts,
Jaan Se Guzarate Hainand we’re ready to give up our lives.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainWe welcome the scars upon our hearts,
Jaan Se Guzarate Hainand we’re passing from this life.
Dil Pe Zakhm Khate HainWe embrace the pain within our hearts,
Jaan Se Guzarate Hainand we’re willing to lose our lives.
