“Dill” by Ahad Khan and Usama Ali opens with a question about a heart’s strange behavior. The lyrics, written by the artists with composition by Raffey Anwar, state the heart is now missing (“Laapata Hai”). This establishes infatuation as a state of bewilderment and loss of control.

Ahad Khan | Usama Ali’s Dill Lyrics Translation
The condition is described as an intoxication that has taken hold of the heart. The meaning of the ‘Dill’ lyrics centers on a plea for the beloved to explain the heart’s new rules (“Ke Dil Ki Dafa Do Bata Do”). This request frames the feeling not as a choice but as an overwhelming circumstance.
Poochho Na Dil Ko Ye Kya Hua Hai Kya HuaDon’t ask my heart what’s happened to it, what’s happened
Hai Kya Hua Hai Isko Nasha Ab Tera Chadha HaiWhat’s happened is your intoxication has now taken hold of it
Laapata Hai Laapata HaiIt’s missing, it’s missing
Tu Basne Lagi Hai Saanson MeinYou’ve begun to dwell in my very breath
Ab Har Lamha Tere Paason MeinNow every moment is spent by your side
Tu Basne Lagi Hai Saanson MeinYou’ve begun to dwell in my very breath
Ab Har Lamha Tere Paason MeinNow every moment is spent by your side
Ke Dil Ki Dafa Do Bata DoTell me, what are the terms of this heart?
Tum Aao Aise To Na KaroCome to me, but please don’t do this
Ye Khushiyaan Badha Do Hansa Do Rula DoIncrease this joy, make me laugh, make me cry
Aise To Na KaroJust don’t do this to me
Ke Dil Dhadka Do Bana DoMake this heart race, make me whole again
Tum Aao Aise To Na KaroCome to me, but please don’t do this
Kahaan Ho Tum NaWhere are you?
Tarasaao Jahaan Ho Tum Chale AaoDon’t make me yearn; wherever you are, just come to me
Kahaan Ho Tum Na TarsaaoWhere are you? Don’t make me yearn
Jahaan Ho Tum Chale AaoWherever you are, just come to me
Mohabbat Mujh Pe BarasaaoRain your love down on me
In Aankhon Ko Nazar AaoLet these eyes see you again
