Gulab Lyrics Translation (from “Loverboy”)
Randhawa sings about a “gulab jehi,” or rose-like person, who finally asks for his heart. He states he cannot refuse the request from someone he has admired for so long. He notes that he even saved a single thread from her shawl as a keepsake.
Kal Tan Si Kali Ajj Hogi Ae Jawan NiYesterday, she was a bud, but today she has blossomed.
Ho Gaya Ae Mel Ajj Haan Nu Ae Haan NiToday, a ‘yes’ has finally met a ‘yes’.
Band Si Jo Dil DarwajaThe door to my heart, which was closed,
Tainu Kholda Gulab Jehi Nehas been opened by that rose-like girl.
Gulab Jehi Ne Dil MangeyaThe rose-like girl has asked for my heart.
Main Kinjh Mod DaanHow could I possibly refuse?
Ikko Ikk Tu Hi AeYou are the only one,
Pasand Dooji Hor NaI have no other choice.
Gulab Jehi Ne Dil MangeyaThe rose-like girl has asked for my heart.
Main Kinjh Mod DaanHow could I possibly refuse?
Kehde Zulfan De Banke Haye KaliyanHer dark hair gathers like clouds,
Ji Moddeyan Te Rehaan Laggiyanthat have started to rest on her shoulders.
Gall Pyar Di Na Mukkan Te AaveOur conversations about love don’t seem to end,
Te Shaamaan Utton Pen Laggiyanand the evenings have started to fall upon us.
Gall Dil Wali Bolni NuTo finally speak the words from her heart,
Ohnu Vi Tan Saal Laggait took her a year as well.
Sach Dassan Aashiqan DaTo tell you the truth,
Ajj Pata Haal Laggatoday I finally understand the plight of lovers.

Ohde Shawl Da Gulab Jehi Nefrom the shawl of that rose-like girl.

Rabb Di Sonh Dil Mera Moh Leya JiI swear to God, she completely stole my heart,
Jadon Potte Ungalan Dethe moment the tips of her fingers,
Ohne Mere Hathan De Kareeb Rakheshe brought them close to my hands.
Shayariyan Sunawa OhnuI recite poetry to her,
Varke Farol Daa Gulab Jehi Neflipping through the pages for my rose-like girl.
