Dono Lyrics English Translation by Armaan Malik
Irshad Kamil frames the central question ‘Bolu Yeh Kaise’ to illustrate hesitation. Malik repeats ‘Tera Hi Tha Tera Hi Hai’ as both affirmation and unresolved tension between feeling and expression.
Hai Koyi Khwaab Ya KhushiIs it a dream or a joy,
Jo Saath Hai Ab MereThat’s with me now?
Bolu Yeh KaiseHow do I say this?
Tera Hi Tha Tera Hi HaiIt was always yours and it still is,
Jo Paas Hai Sab MereEverything that I have now.
Bolu Yeh KaiseHow do I say this?
Baatein Hothon Pe Thehar Si GayiWords have paused on my lips,
Baatein Raahon Mein Bikhar Si GayiAnd thoughts have scattered on the paths.
Tu Dil Ki Baat Jaan LeI wish you’d understand my heart’s unspoken words,
Yeh Bolde Tum MereJust say that you’re mine.
Bolu Yeh KaiseHow do I say this?
Tera Hi Tha Tera Hi HaiIt was always yours and it still is,
Jo Paas Hai Sab MereEverything that I have now.
Bolu Yeh KaiseHow do I say this?
Meri Khamoshi Ko Jaan LePlease understand my silence,
Kaam Tere Bin Mera Na ChaleI can’t get by without you.
HoOh…
Tum Aur Main Dono DonoYou and I, both of us,
Aur SafarAnd the journey ahead.
Tum Aur Main Dono DonoYou and I, both of us.
Raahein Tanha Tanha SiThe paths feel a bit lonely,
Dil Yeh Behka Behka SaAnd this heart feels a bit strayed.
Leke Aayi Hai SubahThe morning has brought with it,
Jaise Ishqiya HawaA breeze that feels like love.
Maine Aise Hi Jeena HaiI want to live my life like this,
Matlab Ke Tum Ho MeriKnowing that you’re mine.
Ho Ho Bolun Yeh KaiseOh, how do I say this?
Ab Aur Kya Hai MangnaWhat more is there to ask for?
Tu Hai Meri Toh Har Dua Tu HaiSince you’re mine, you’re the answer to every prayer.
Ab Kya Maine Chahna Tu HaiNow you’re all I want,
Meri Har Dua Tu HaiYou’re my every prayer.
Tumse Milta Julta HoonI see myself in you,
Dheere Dheere Khulta HoonAnd I’m slowly opening up.
Main Hoon Chahaton Ka DinI’m a day filled with desires,
Tumse Milke Dhalta HoonThat sets only after meeting you.
Maine Aise Hi Jeena HaiI want to live my life like this,
Matlab Ke Tum Ho MereKnowing that you’re mine.
Ho HoOh…
Tum Aur Main Dono DonoYou and I, both of us,
Aur SafarAnd the journey ahead.
Tum Aur Main Dono DonoYou and I, both of us.
Raahein Tanha Tanha SiThe paths feel a bit lonely,
Dil Yeh Behka Behka SaAnd this heart feels a bit strayed.
Leke Aayi Hai SubahThe morning has brought with it,
Jaise Ishqiya HawaA breeze that feels like love.
Maine Aise Hi Jeena HaiI want to live my life like this,
Matlab Ke Tum Ho MeriKnowing that you’re mine.
Hai Koyi Khwaab Ya KhushiIs it a dream or a joy,
Jo Saath Hai Ab MereThat’s with me now?
Bolun Yeh KaiseHow do I say this?
Tera Hi Tha Tera Hi HaiIt was always yours and it still is,
Jo Paas Hai Sab MereEverything that I have now.
Bolun Yeh KaiseHow do I say this?
