“Ilzaam” by Vishal Mishra and Shilpa Rao appears on the Jewel Thief soundtrack, starring Saif Ali Khan. Kumaar’s lyrics open with a person’s inner conflict. They ask why a feeling that seems correct (“sahi”) to the heart feels incorrect (“galat”) to the mind.

Jewel Thief’s Ilzaam Lyrics Translation
The conflict shifts as the heart no longer fears disgrace or public judgment. This change leads to the core statement of accepting the “ilzaam” or blame of love. The song suggests that without this risk, the love itself is incomplete.
Tujhse Milke Khud Se Milne KiAfter meeting you, I never found the time
Fursat Mil Na Paayito meet myself
Tere Dil Pe Maine Dastak Di ParI knocked on the door of your heart but
Tujhko Khabar Na Aayiyou never even knew I was there
Mujhko Ye Jisne Chhua HaiWhatever it is that’s touched me
Ye Tu Hai Ya Phir Hawa Haiis it you, or is it just the wind?
Dil Ko Sahi Jo Lagne Laga HaiWhat has started to feel so right to my heart
Mujhko Galat Kyun Lagawhy does it feel so wrong to me?
Ilzaam Ishq Ka Qubool Kar LiyaI’ve accepted the accusation of love
Ilzaam Na Lage To Ishq Kya KiyaIf there’s no blame, then what love is it anyway?
Ilzaam Ishq Ka Qubool Kar LiyaI’ve accepted the accusation of love
Ilzaam Na Lage To Ishq Kya KiyaIf there’s no blame, then what love is it anyway?
Badnamiyo Se Dil Darta Nahi HaiMy heart isn’t afraid of disgrace anymore
Sareaam Tujh Pe Marne LagaI’ve started dying for you out in the open
Galti Se Bhi Wo Jo Karna Nahi ThaThe one thing I wasn’t even supposed to do by mistake
Wahi Kaam Dil Ye Karne Lagamy heart has started to do that very thing
Hai Lafz Aankho MeinThere are words in your eyes
Uljhe Kyun Baato Meinso why get tangled in things you say?
Kuch To Keh RahiThey’re saying something
Chup To Hai Nahi Khamoshiyathis silence isn’t silent at all
Hai Neend Par So Na PaayeI’m ready for sleep, but I just can’t rest
Dar Hai Tere Ho Na JaayeI’m afraid I might become completely yours
Dil Ko Sahi Jo Lagne Laga HaiWhat has started to feel so right to my heart
Mujhko Galat Kyun Lagawhy does it feel so wrong to me?
Ilzaam Ishq Ka Qubool Kar LiyaI’ve accepted the accusation of love
Ilzaam Na Lage To Ishq Kya KiyaIf there’s no blame, then what love is it anyway?
Ilzaam Ishq Ka Qubool Kar LiyaI’ve accepted the accusation of love
Ilzaam Na Lage To Ishq Kya KiyaIf there’s no blame, then what love is it anyway?
The song moves from quiet confusion to a firm, open declaration of feeling. The meaning of Kumaar’s ‘Ilzaam’ lyrics is about choosing to embrace a controversial love. It presents the act of loving as a willing acceptance of any blame that follows.
