Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai,
Sometimes the thought comes into my heart
ke jaise tujko banaya gaya hai mere liye.
That you were made just for me.
Tu ab se pehle sitaron mein bas rahi thi kahin,
As though you were living somewhere among the stars up until now,
tuje jamin pe bulya gaya he mere liye.
And you were called to the earth just for me.
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai,
Sometimes the thought comes into my heart
ke ye badan ye nighanon meri amanat hai,
That this body and these eyes are my sanctuary,
yeh geshuon ki ghani chhaon hai meri khatir,
And that the shadows of this thick hair is my very mind,
ye hothon aur yeh bahen meri amanat hai.
And these lips and this lap are my conviction.
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai,
Sometimes the thought comes into my heart
ke jaise bajti hai shenhaiyan si rahon mein,
That the music of weddings is playing around us,
Suhag raat hai ghoonghat utha raha hoon mein,
And that, on the night of the wedding, I lift the bridal veil for you
Simat rahi he tu sharma ke meri bahon mein.
And you hide your shame in my arms.
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai,
Sometimes the thought comes into my heart
jaise tu muje chehagi umrabhar younhi.
That you will love me for a lifetime just like this.
Utthegi meri taraf pyaar ki nazar younhi,
That you will raise a loving glance to me always just like this,
main janta hun ke tu gair magar younhi.
I know you are promised to another, and yet
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hai.
Sometimes the thought comes into my heart.
