Ruxaana Lyrics Translation – Roshni Soundtrack
Ali Zafar contrasts grand declarations like ‘plucking stars’ with Ruxaana’s consistent indifference. The English lines ‘love’s not a game’ directly address her non-committal behavior, shifting from poetic devotion to blunt frustration.
Kar Dite Munde Paagal Kinne SaareYou’ve driven so many boys crazy.
Tere Chakran Ch Ho Gaye AwaaraThey’ve become wanderers because of your games.
Kudi Chori Chori Akh Jadon MaareWhenever this girl winks secretly,
Sareyan Ton Teri Wakhri AdaYour style stands out from everyone else.
Tod Dite Main Te Tere Layi Ae TaareI’ve even plucked the stars for you.
Munde Hoye Tere Lakk Te FidaaBoys are infatuated with your graceful moves.
Tere Pichhe Asi Reh Gaye Aane KunwareI’ve remained single just for you.
Hoi Na Kadi Tainu Meri ParwahBut you never even cared about me.
Phir Se Na Khwabon Mein Yun AanaDon’t come into my dreams like this again.
Dil Mera Yun Na ChuraanaDon’t steal my heart this way.
Bas Kar De Ab Yun TadpanaStop making me suffer like this.
Na TadpaDon’t torment me.
RuxaanaRuxaana.
Ghar Mere Bhi Kabhi Tu AanaYou should come to my house sometime too.
Tujhe Ghar Waalon Se Bhi Hai MilanaI want to introduce you to my family.
Mere Dil Mein Aa Ke Tera Jo Yun SamanaThe way you’ve settled into my heart,
Haaye SamanaOh, how you’ve settled in.
You Got Me Like I’m Your PlayYou’ve got me like I’m your plaything.
Baby If You Knew Me You Won’t Ask Me To StayBaby, if you knew me, you wouldn’t ask me to stay.
I Don’t Wanna Mess Around And Waste Your TimeI don’t want to mess around and waste your time.
I Gotta Life And I Gotta PlanI’ve got a life and I’ve got a plan.
What Makes You Think That I’m Not A ManWhat makes you think that I’m not a man?
O Dassan Kinni Vaari Nai O Chahida Ae DramaOh, how many times must I say? I don’t want this drama.
I Don’t Want You Going Complain To My MamaI don’t want you going to complain to my mom.
Dil Jod’da Ae Rhyme Tere Utte Why Why Vo Vo Vo VoMy heart rhymes for you, why, why, vo, vo, vo, vo.
Main Tere Pichhe Mar Mit JaavanI’d die for you.
Tainu Heer BanavanI’d make you my ‘legendary lover’.
Jithe Chali Jayein Hovan Thandiyan ChhavanWherever you go, let there be cool shade.
I Don’t Wanna Waste Our Time NowI don’t want to waste our time now.
I Don’t Wanna Take Your NameI don’t want to say your name.
You’re So Fine But Love’s Not A GameYou’re so fine, but love’s not a game.
Yeah I Want You But You’re SameYeah, I want you, but you’re still the same.
O RuxaanaOh, Ruxaana.
Mujh Se Dil Na LaganaDon’t fall in love with me.
Bolega Ye ZamanaThe world will talk about us.
Chhod Is Ko Hai Ye Deewana Haan Deewana“Leave him, he’s a madman,” yes, a madman.
RuxaanaRuxaana.
Na Inki Baaton Mein AanaDon’t listen to what they say.
Tujhe Haal E Dil Hai SunanaI want to tell you the state of my heart.
Bas Teri Aankhon Mein Hai SamanaI just want to be lost in your eyes.
Unreciprocated affection forms the core of Roshni’s ‘Ruxaana’, evident in lyrics translation requests analyzing modern longing. The character ultimately recognizes his efforts remain unacknowledged despite emotional investment.
