Lyrical Transcript with Translation below:



koi bole dariya hai
some say its a sea

kaisa kaisa hai iskh
how strange is this love

koi maane sehra hai
some say its a desert

kaisa kaisa hai iskh
how strange is this love


koi sone sa tole re
some weigh it as gold

koi maati sa bole re
some say its worth as much soil

koi bole ke chandi ka hai chhura
some say its a silver knife

hota aise yeh mauke pe
happens at such times

roka jaaye na roke se
wont stop even if you try

acha hota hai hota yeh bura
been good if it been bad


naina laage toh jaage
awakens when the eyes get sleepy

bina dori ya dhaage
without any string or cord

bandhte hai do naina khwaab se
two eyes are locked with dreams

na ata ho, na pata ho
no name or address

kore naino mein koi aa base
someone has settled in these empty eyes

iska uska na iska hai
its neither his nor hers

jaane kitna hai kiska hai
no one knows how much is whose

kaisi bhasha mein bhasha mein hai likha - iskh yeh
what kind of language is this love written

iske uske yeh hisse mein
its there in his and her part

tere mere yeh kisse mein
its there in our story

maula seekhe bin seekhe bin de sikha
oh God, it teaches us without being taught
