Makeen Lyrics English Translation by Salem Sandhu | Taimour Baig
Taimour Baig crafts lines that balance longing and self-awareness. One verse says, ‘You’re the wound, the healing balm, and my confidante,’ mixing pain with hope. The songwriter uses everyday metaphors like spilled wine and flowers to describe a love that’s both beautiful and complicated.
You’re Running When I Want You To StayYou’re running when I want you to stay.
StayStay.
Tu Hi Zikr Aur Tu Hi Uski ZubaanYou’re the mention, and you’re its voice.
Tu Hi Makeen Hai Dil Yeh Tera MakaanYou’re the resident, this heart is your home.
Tu Andheron Mein Jaise Noor E NazarIn the darkness, you’re like the light of my eyes.
Tu Hi Husn Hai Husn Tujh Pe AyaanYou’re beauty itself, and beauty is revealed through you.
In Palkon Ke Saaye Mein Bhar LunI want to gather you in the shadow of my eyelashes,
Hum Bhi Rehna Chahein Sadaand I wish to stay there forever.
Ya Nigahon Ko Chhupa LunOr should I hide my eyes,
Kar Na Baithe Koi Hum Hi Khatalest I commit a mistake?
Meri Aankhon Mein Sabr Teri Aankhon Mein NashaMy eyes hold patience, while your eyes hold intoxication.
Aise Bhi Na Le Tu Imtehaan MereDon’t test me like this.
Hum Hain Kar Baithe Tere Liye Rooh Ko Tan Se JudaI’ve separated my soul from my body just for you,
Barson Hain Beeti Khayalon Mein Tereand years have passed lost in your thoughts.
Tu Hi Zakhm Marham Tu Hai RaazdaanYou’re the wound, the healing balm, and my confidante.
Tu Hi Waham Aur Tu Hi Usmein GumaanYou’re the illusion, and you’re the doubt within it.
Jab Tu Hi Na Ho Paaye Haasil HumkoWhen I can’t even attain you,
Lagta Hai Bematlab Yeh Saara Jahaanthis entire world feels meaningless.
Baby You Can Walk Too Talk Too Mujhe Koi Bhi Takleef NahinBaby, you can walk away or talk too, I don’t have a problem with it.
Meri Zindagi Mein Tum Ek Sharaab Ek Baaki Zindagi Mein Kuchh Bhi Azeez NahinIn my life, you’re the only drink I need, and nothing else is dear to me.
Aur Ek Aap Hain Sharaab Gire Daamanon Pe Daagh HainAnd then there’s you, leaving stains on my reputation like spilled wine.
Woh Phool Maangti Hai Aur Hum Baagh HainShe asks for a single flower, while I’m an entire garden.
Phir Ittifaq Se Ho Tera Mera Saamna Tu Nazar Na Milaye Mere Paas Tere Raaz HainIf we happen to face each other by chance, you won’t meet my eyes because I hold your secrets.
Main Kaagazon Par Apne Gham Likhta HunI write my sorrows down on paper.
Likhta Hun Itna Ki Main Kam Dikhta HunI write so much that I’m barely seen myself.
Woh Elite Usse Poora Ek Mahal ChahiyeShe’s elite, she wants a whole palace.
Usse Gucci Ke Bag Mein Chanel ChahiyeShe wants Chanel inside a Gucci bag.
She’s FancyShe’s fancy.
Aur Mujhe Dekh Meri Zindagi Bechain SiAnd look at me, my life feels so restless.
Still I’m A Sick Boy Thoda Main RomanceyStill, I’m a sick boy, I’m a little romantic.
Vision Bada Clear Bada Clear That You Can’t SeeMy vision is very clear, so clear that you can’t even see it.
To Be Left Is To Be Seen Mera JigarTo be left behind is to be truly seen, my dear.
Dekha Hi Nahin Usne She Just Saw The Double FigureShe never really saw me, she just saw the double figures in my bank account.
Main Kaam Karun Itna Ab Accounts Getting BiggerI work so hard now that my accounts are getting bigger.
Free Time Is Just Me And My LiquorMy free time is just me and my liquor.
Accountant Saath Mein Ounce Chakhta HunI sit with my accountant and taste an ounce.
Subah Uthte Main Roz Tujhe Likhta HunWaking up every morning, I write to you.
Now I’m Gone Jidhar Waapsi Ka Iraada Bhi NahinNow I’m gone to a place from where I have no intention of returning.
Main Yaaron Ko Bhi Kabhi Kabhi Dikhta HunI’m rarely seen, even by my friends.
Baby I Just Need A NightBaby, I just need a night.
I Just Wanna Hold You TightI just wanna hold you tight.
I Just Wanna Feel Alive Only For A NightI just wanna feel alive only for a night.
I Just Wanna Hold You CloseI just wanna hold you close.
And I’m Gonna Let LooseAnd I’m gonna let loose.
Cause I Wanna Make It Right Only For A NightCause I wanna make it right only for a night.
Tu Hi Zakhm Marham Tu Hai RaazdaanYou’re the wound, the healing balm, and my confidante.
Tu Hi Waham Aur Tu Hi Usmein GumaanYou’re the illusion, and you’re the doubt within it.
Jab Tu Hi Na Ho Paaye Haasil HumkoWhen I can’t even attain you,
Lagta Hai Bematlab Yeh Saara Jahaanthis entire world feels meaningless.
Tu Hi Zikr Aur Tu Hi Uski ZubaanYou’re the mention, and you’re its voice.
Tu Hi Makeen Hai Dil Yeh Tera MakaanYou’re the resident, this heart is your home.
