English translation of Main Agar Kahoon (Om Shanti Om)

MAIN AGAR KAHOON

Lyrics – Javed Akhtar

Singer – Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal

Arranged by – Jackie V.

Guitar – Chintu Singh

Tum ko paaya hai toh jaise khoya hoon

Having found you, I feel I’ve lost myself

Kehna chahoon bhi toh tumse kya kahoon

Even if I could, I wouldn’t know what to say

Kisi zabaan mein bhi woh lavz hi nahin

There are no words in any language

Ke jinme tum ho kya tumhein bata sakoon

That I can use to describe you

Main agar kahoon tumsa haseen

If I were to say that a beauty like you

Qayanat mein nahin hai kahin

Cannot be found in the whole world

Tareef yeh bhi toh sach hai kuch bhi nahin

This compliment, in truth, would be nothing

Tum ko paaya hai toh jaise khoya hoon….

Shokiyon mein doobi yeh adayein

Your michievious style and grace

Chehre se jhalki hui hai

Spills out from your face

Zulf ki ghani ghani ghataein

Your thick cloud of hair

Shaan se dhalki hui hai

Rests on your shoulders with pride

Lehrata aanchal hai jaise badal

Your scarf floats in the wind like a cloud

Bahon mein bhari hai jaise chandni

Your arms are filled with moonlight

Roop ki chandni…..

moonlight of beauty

Main agar kahoon yeh dilkashi

If I were to say this splendour

Hai nahin kahin na hogi kabhi

Cannot be found anywhere and never will be

Tareef yeh bhi toh sach hai kuch bhi nahin

This compliment, in truth, would be nothing

Tum ko paaya hai toh jaise khoya hoon….

Tum hue meherbaan

It’s your generosity

Toh hai yeh dastaan

That’s led to this story

Ab tumhara mera ek hai caravan

Now our paths are the same

Tum jahan main wahaan

Where you are, there I’ll be

Main agar kahoo
