Gulabi Aankhen Lyrics Translation (from “The Train”)
Anand Bakshi mentions rosy eyes that leave the narrator tipsy and wild. Rafi sings, ‘This heart of mine’s become a drunken mess,’ capturing the chaos of falling in love. The lyrics describe dreams of love that feel as vivid as a portrait on a wall.
Lal Lal Lal La Lal Lal La LalaLal Lal Lal La Lal Lal La Lala
Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri DekhiWhen I caught a glimpse of those rosy eyes of yours,
Sharabi Yeh Dil Ho GayaThis heart of mine’s become a drunken mess.
Sambhalo Mujhko O Mere YaaronSteady me now, oh my friends,
Sambhalna Mushkil Ho GayaIt’s become so hard to keep my balance.
Dil Mein Mere Khwaab TereWithin my heart, dreams of you reside
Tasveer Jaise Ho Deewaar PeLike a portrait hanging on a wall.
Tujhpe Fida Main Kyun HuaWhy did I ever fall for you?
Aata Hai Gussa Mujhe Pyar PeI’m actually angry at this thing called love.
Main Loot GayaI’ve been completely robbed,
Maan Ke Dil Ka KahaJust by listening to what my heart said.
Main Kahin Ka Na RahaNow I’ve got nowhere left to go,
Kya Kahun Main DilrubaWhat can I even say, my sweetheart?
Bura Yeh Jaadu Teri Aankhon KaThis wicked magic in your eyes,
Yeh Mera Kaatil Ho GayaIt’s become the very thing that slays me.
Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri DekhiEver since I saw those rosy eyes of yours,
Sharabi Yeh Dil Ho GayaThis heart of mine’s been tipsy and wild.
Maine Sada Chaha YahiI’ve always wanted just one thing,
Daman Bacha Loon Haseenon Se MainTo keep myself away from beautiful women.
Teri Kasam Khwabon Mein BhiI swear by you, even in my dreams,
Bachta Phira Nazneenon Se MainI kept running from those ‘graceful beauties’.
Tauba Magar Mil Gayi Tujhse NazarGood heavens, but then our eyes met,
Mil Gaya Dard-E-JigarAnd I found this ache deep in my soul.
Sunn Zara O BekhabarJust listen for a moment, oh oblivious one.
Zara Sa Hanske Jo Dekha TooneThe moment you looked at me with that little smile,
Main Tera Bismil Ho GayaI became your ‘devoted sacrifice’.
Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri DekhiWhen I looked into those rosy eyes of yours,
Sharabi Yeh Dil Ho GayaMy heart lost all its senses.
Sambhalo Mujhko O Mere YaaronHold me back, my dear friends,
Sambhalna Mushkil Ho GayaBecause I just can’t keep it together anymore.
