AANKHEIN KHULI

ek laRkii thii diiwaanii sii	There once was a mad girl,
ek laRke pe voh martii thii	who was utterly devoted to a certain boy.
nazare jhuukaake sharmaake galiyo.n se guzartii thii	Eyes downcast, blushing, she wandered the streets
chorii chorii chupke chupke chiTTHiyaa.n likha kartii thii	She would write letters in secret;
kuchh kahana tha shaayad usko	perhaps there was something she just had to say.
jaane kis se Dartii thii	Who knows who she was afraid of?
jab bhii miltii thii mujhe mujhse puuchha karti thii	Whenever she met me, she would ask me,
yeh pyar kaisa hota hai	"What is love like?"
aur mai.n sirf yehii kah paata tha	And I could only say this:
Chorus:
aa.nkhe.n khulii ho yaa ho ba.nd diidaar unka hota hai	"Whether your eyes are open or closed, they'll only see the one they love."
kaise kahuu.n mai.n o yaara yeh pyaar kaisa hota hai	How can I tell you, friends, what this thing called love is like?
aa.nkhe.n khulii ho yaa ho ba.nd diidaar unka hota hai	"Whether your eyes are open or closed, they'll only see the one they love."
Chorus...
aaj hii yaaro.n kisi pe marke dekhe.nge ham	Today, once we've fallen for someone, we'll see for ourselves, friends
pyaar hota hai yeh kaise karke dekhe.nge ham	What is love like? We'll do it and see for ourselves.
kisi kii yaado.n me.n kho'e hu'e khwaabo.n ko hamne sajaa liyaa	Lost in thoughts of someone, we embroidered dreams about them.
ksii kii baaho.n me.n so'e hu'e apna use banaa liya	Sleeping in someone's embrace, we made them our own.
ae yaar pyaar me.n koii na jaagta na sotaa hai	Oh, friend, in love one neither wakes nor sleeps!
kaise kahuu.n mai.n yeh pyaar kaise hota hai	How can I tell you what this love is like?
Chorus
kya hai jadoo hai koii bas jo chal jaata hai	What is it? It's some type of magic, one that just takes you over.
toRke pahare hazaaro.n yeh dil nikal jaata hai	Your heart breaks through a thousand defenses and escapes.
duur kahii.n aasmaano.n par hote hai.n ye saare faisle	All these decisions are made somewhere in the distant skies above.
kaun jaane koii hamsafar kab kaise kahaa.n mile	Who knows when, when, and how you might meet your soulmate?
jo naam dil pe ho likha iqraar usii se hota hai	Your heart is promised to the one whose name is inscribed upon it.
kaise kahuu.n mai.n yeh pyaar kaise hota hai	How can I tell you what this love is like?
Chorus
