kajre re

aaisi najar se dekha us zalim ne chowk par
humne kaleja rakh diya chaku ki nok par
The way that villain eyed me in the market-place,
it felt like putting my heart at knife’s point.

wah wah, kamal ho gaya , woh raita fail gaya

dhin tanak dina ……

mera chain bain sab ujda ,jaalim nazar hata le – 2
My peace of mind has been destroyed; stop staring at me, scoundrel!
barbaad ho rahe hai ji – 2
They’re being destroyed;
tere apne shaher wale
your own townspeople are being destroyed by this!
mera chain bain sab ujda ,jaalim nazar hata le
My peace of mind has been destroyed; stop staring at me, scoundrel!
meri angdai na toote tu aaja – 2
Come to me before the waiting begins to make me anxious.

kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina – 2
ho kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina – 2
ho mere naina mere naina mere naina judwa mere naina
kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina
Your kohl-lined eyes;
your kohl-lined eyes, your black, black eyes…
My eyes, my eyes, my twin eyes…
Your kohl-lined eyes, your black, black eyes

surmain se likhe tere wade, aankhon ki jabani aate hain
The promises you wrote with kohl speak the language of the eyes.
mere rumalo pe lab tere ,bandh ke nishani jaate hain
My handkerchief bears the traces of your lips.
(ho teri baaton main kimam ki khusbu hain
Your words hold the fragrance of an intoxicating drink.
ho tera aana bhi garmiyon ki lu hain ) – 2
You arrive like the hot winds of summer
aaja tute na tute na aangdai
Come to me before the waiting begins to make me anxious
ho meri angdai na tute tuu aaja – 2
Before the waiting begins to make me anxious, come to me!
kajra re kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina – 2
ho kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina – 3
ho mere naina mere naina mere nain main chupke rehna
ho kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina
Your kohl-lined eyes, your black, black eyes…
My eyes, my eyes, my twin eyes…
Your kohl-lined eyes, your black, black eyes…

aankhein bhi kamal karti hain
Your eyes work wonders.
personal se sawal karti hain
They ask the most personal questions.
palko ko uthati bhi nahi hain
They don’t even have to rise;
parde ka khayal karti hain
they speak through the curtain of your lashes.
(ho mera gum to kisise bhi chupta nahi
My sorrow can’t be hidden from anyone
dard hota hain dard jab chubhta nahi ) – 2
True pain doesn’t even sting.
aaja tute na tute na meri aangdai
Come to me before the waiting begins to make me anxious.
ho meri angdai na tute tu aaja
Before the waiting begins to make me anxious, come to me!

kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina – 2
ho kajra re kajra re tere kare kare naina – 3
ho tere naina tere naina humein daste hain tere naina
ho kajra re kajra re mere kare kare naina
Your kohl-lined eyes, your black, black eyes…
Your eyes, your eyes, they destroy us, your eyes.
My kohl-lined eyes, my black, black eyes.

ho tujhse milna purani dilli main
After I met you in Old Delhi,
chod aaye nishani dilli main
I left a momento behind there,
pal nimani dari betalab
a tapestry woven of random moments
teri meri kahani dilli main
of our story in Delhi.
kali kamali wale ko yaad karte
Inspired by your dark, lotus-like eyes,
tere kale kale naino ki kasam khate hain
we swear on your black, black eyes
tere kale kale naino ke banaye hain ruh
that our souls are filled with your dark, dark eyes.
tere kale kale naino ko duwaye hain ruh
Our souls offer blessings to your black, black eyes.
meri jaan udas hain hothon pe pyaas hain
My heart despairs; my lips are parched.
aaja re aaja re aaja re
Come to m
