SAHIBA SONG LYRICS ENGLISH MEANING
Sahiba Aaye Ghar Kaahe Na, Aise Toh Satayein Na,
Why don’t you come home, my lady? Please do not torment me in this manner.
Dekhun Tujhko Chain Aata Hai,
When I see you, I feel relieved.
Sahiba Neendein Veendein Aaye Na, Raatein Kaati Jaye Na,
Oh, my lady, I can’t sleep and stay awake all night.
Tera Hi Khayal Din Rain Aata Hai,
I think about you all the time, day and night.
Sahiba Samandar Meri Aankhon Mein Reh Gaye,
The ocean stayed in my eyes, my lady.
Hum Aate Aate Jaana Teri Yaadon Mein Reh Gaye,
I was lost in the ocean-like your eyes as I returned, love.
Yeh Palkein Gawahi Hai Hum Raaton Mein Reh Gaye,
My eyelashes bear testament to the fact that I was up all night.
Jo Vaade Kiye Saare Bas Baaton Mein Reh Gaye,
I kept remembering all of the commitments we made.
Baaton Baaton Mein Hi Khaabon Khaabon Mein Hi, Mere Kareeb Hai Tu,
You are constantly with me via our discussions and my fantasies.
Teri Talab Mujhko Teri Talab Jaana Ho Tu Kabhi Rubru,
I long for you always, sweetie; please come to me someday.
Shor Sharaba Jo Seene Mein Hai Mere Kaise Byaan Main Karun,
How am I supposed to explain all the cacophony in my heart about you?
Haal Jo Mera Hai Main Kisko Bataun,
Oh, lovely lady, to whom do I communicate my feelings?
Mere Sahiba Dil Na Kiraye Ka Thoda Toh Sambhalo Na,
Oh, my lady, this heart is not a rental; be careful;
Naazuk Hai Yeh Toot Jata Hai,
it is delicate and might shatter.
Sahiba Neendein Veendein Aaye Na, Raatein Kaati Jaye Na,
Oh, my lady, I can’t sleep and stay awake all night.
Tera Hi Khayal Din Rain Aata Hai,
I think about you all the time, day and night.
Kaisi Bhala Shab Hogi Woh, Sang Jo Tere Dhalti Hai,
What a lovely evening it would be to spend with you.
Dil Ko Koi Khaahish Nahi, Teri Kami Khalti Hai,
My heart has no desire other than to miss you.
Aaram Na Abb Aakhon Ko, Khaab Bhi Na Badalti Hai,
My eyes are agitated, and they only see you.
Dil Ko Koi Khaahish Nahi, Teri Kami Jana Khalti Hai,
My heart desires nothing else, yet it misses you.
Sahiba Tu Hi Mera Aayina,
Oh, dear woman, you are my reflection.
Hathon Mein Bhi Mere Haan, Tera Hi Naseeb Aata Hai,
My palm lines show that even you are a part of my destiny.
Sahiba Neendein Veendein Aaye Na, Raatein Kaati Jaye Na,
Oh, my lady, I can’t sleep and stay awake all night.
Tera Hi Khayal Din Rain Aata Hai,
I think about you all the time, day and night.
