Khufiya’s Na Hosh Chale, Pt. 1 Hindi Lyrics English Translation

Gulzar starts by describing a heart that is beyond control, where ‘neither reason works, nor does passion.’ He asks a lover ‘what are you,’ pointing out that a feeling has no physical form. This search for a spiritual connection builds into the central image of a soul surviving on ‘tiny drops of dew.’

Hey-hey, hey-heyHey-hey, hey-hey.
Hey-hey, hey-hey, heyHey-hey, hey-hey, hey.
Hey-hey, hey-heyHey-hey, hey-hey.
Hey-hey, hey-hey, heyHey-hey, hey-hey, hey.
न होश चले, न जुनून चलेNeither reason works, nor does passion,
Hey-hey, hey-heyHey-hey, hey-hey,
Hey-hey, hey-hey, heyHey-hey, hey-hey, hey,
दिल पर किस का ज़ानून चलेwhose rule is governing the heart?
Hey-hey, hey-heyHey-hey, hey-hey,
Hey-hey, hey-hey, heyHey-hey, hey-hey, hey,
तू जान मेरी, मेरी जान है तूYou’re my life, you’re my very soul,
चल जैसे रगों में खून चलेflowing just like blood through my veins.
Hey-hey, hey-heyHey-hey, hey-hey,
Hey-hey, hey-hey, heyHey-hey, hey-hey, hey,
तू क्या है, क्या एहसास है तू?What are you? What kind of feeling are you?
एहसास का कोई वजूद नहींA feeling has no physical form.
मैं कैसे तुझे छू लेता हूंHow do I manage to touch you,
जब सामने तू मौजूद नहींwhen you aren’t even here in front of me?
ऐ, जान मेरी, मेरी जान है तूOh, you’re my life, you’re my very soul,
चल जैसे रगों में खून चलेflowing just like blood through my veins.
Hey-hey, hey-heyHey-hey, hey-hey,
Hey-hey, hey-hey, heyHey-hey, hey-hey, hey,
पलकों की छाँव ढूँढता हूंI search for the shade of your eyelashes,
मैं तेरी नज़र की धूप तलेwhile standing under the sunlight of your gaze.
उस प्यासे का क्या होगा, बता?Tell me, what’ll happen to that thirsty soul,
जो शबनम के ज़रों पर पले?who survives only on tiny drops of dew?
ऐ, जान मेरी, मेरी जान है तूOh, you’re my life, you’re my very soul,
चल जैसे रगों में खून चलेflowing just like blood through my veins.
Hey-hey, hey-heyHey-hey, hey-hey,
Hey-hey, hey-hey, heyHey-hey, hey-hey, hey.
