Nikhita Gandhi • From “Blind”
Mushkil Lyrics Translation (from “Blind”)
Gandhi describes the habit as a breath trapped in the throat, merging physical discomfort with psychological grip. The lyricist contrasts trembling joy with the pain of recurrence, exposing the cycle’s addictive nature.
Mushkil Aadat Teri Buri HaiDifficult habit, you’re a bad one.
Peeche Mere Tu Kyun Padi HaiWhy’re you always after me?
Saaye Ki Tarah Hai Rehti TuYou linger like a shadow,
Jaati Nahiand you just won’t go.
Mushkil Aadat Teri Buri HaiDifficult habit, you’re a bad one.
Sahil Pe Rehna Chahe Yeh NahiIt doesn’t want to stay on the shore.
Chahe Yeh NahiIt just doesn’t want to.
Toofan Yeh Paagal HaiThis storm is crazy,
Kaanton Ka Baadal Haiit’s a cloud of thorns.
Tu Rahe Yoon MujhmeinYou live inside me like this,
Atki Si Saanseinlike a breath that’s caught,
Gale Mein Ho Meredeep in my throat.
Mushkil Aadat Teri Buri HaiDifficult habit, you’re a bad one.
Utre Na Sir Pe Tu Chadhi HaiYou’ve gone to my head and won’t leave.
Saaye Ki Tarah Hai Rehti TuYou linger like a shadow,
Jaati Nahiand you just won’t go.
Mushkil Se Yaari Mushkil HaiBefriending this difficulty is difficult.
Kona Tu Kona KonaYou know every single corner,
Mere Dil Ka Jaaneevery corner of my heart.
Aana Tu Aana JaanaYou come and you go,
Kare Jab Jee Chahewhenever you feel like it.
Achanak Se Tu Aaye SaamneYou suddenly appear before me.
Lagun Main Khushi Se KaanpneI start trembling with joy.
Tu Rahe Yoon MujhmeinYou live inside me like this.
Atki Si Saansein Gale Mein Ho MereLike a breath that’s caught in my very throat.
Mushkil Aadat Teri Buri HaiDifficult habit, you’re a bad one.
Utre Na Sir Pe Tu Chadhi HaiYou’ve gone to my head and won’t leave.
Saaye Ki Tarah Hai Rehti TuYou linger like a shadow,
Jaati Nahiand you just won’t go.
Mushkil Se Yaari Mushkil HaiBefriending this difficulty is difficult.
