Roman Transliteration/English Translation of Hindi-Urdu filmy lyrics:
pehle mile theh sapnoN meN,
FIRST WE HAD MET IN DREAMS,
aur aaj saamne paayaa,
AND TODAY I FOUND YOU FACE TO FACE,
Haay Qurbaan JaaooN,
OH MAY I BE SACRIFICED FOR YOU!
pehle mile theh sapnoN meN,
FIRST WE HAD MET IN DREAMS,
aur aaj saamne paayaa,
AND TODAY I FOUND YOU FACE TO FACE,
Haay Qurbaan JaaooN,
OH MAY I BE SACRIFICED FOR YOU!
tum sangg jeevan aise kaTegaa,
LIFE WITH YOU WILL PASS IN THE MANNER
jaise dhoop sangg chhaayaa,
AS THE SUNSHINE ACCOMPANIES THE SHADE
Haay Qurbaan JaaooN…
OH MAY I BE SACRIFICED FOR YOU!
Ay SaaNwlee Haseenaa,
O BEAUTIFUL BRUNETTE!
dil meraa toone chheenaa,
MY HEART YOU’VE WRESTED,
madhosh manziloN par,
ON THE DIZZY STAGES
toone sikhaayaa jeenaa,
YOU TAUGHT ME HOW TO LIVE!
Ay SaaNwlee Haseenaa,
O BEAUTIFUL BRUNETTE!
dil meraa toone chheenaa,
MY HEART YOU’VE WRESTED,
madhosh manziloN par,
ON THE DIZZY STAGES

ek jhalak se meraa muQaddar
WITH A SINGLE GLIMPSE, MY DESTINY
toone aaj chamkaayaa,
YOU’VE BRIGHTENED UP TODAY,
Haay Qurbaan JaaooN,
OH MAY I BE SACRIFICED FOR YOU!

zulfeN jo muNh pe Daalo,
IF YOU LET DOWN THE TRESSES ON YOUR FACE
toh din meN shaam kar doh,
THEN YOU’LL TURN THE DAY INTO DUSK!
aur be-naQaab niklo,
AND IF YOU STEP OUT UNVEILED,
toh Qatl-e-Aam kar doh,
THEN A GENERAL MASSACRE YOU’LL STIR!

‘gar jhoom ke chalo tum,
IF YOU WALK WITH A SWAY
O jaane zindagaanee,

EVEN THE THE STONY HEART
ho jaaye paanee paanee,
WILL MELT WITH COMPASSION!

gore badan par kaalaa AaNchal,
THE BLACK VEIL ON A FAIR BODY
Aur rangg lay Aayaa,
