bahut aasan hai chilaman se lagakar muskurana
bahut aasan hai chilaman se lagakar muskurana
bahut mushkil hai, haye
bahut mushkil hai aakar samane nazaren
aji nazaren milana

zamane mein muhabbat sab ko ho jati hai zalim
zamane mein muhabbat sab ko ho jaati hai zalim
muhabbat jisako ho, haye
muhabbat jisako ho dushman hua usaka
aji usaka zamana
bahut mushkil hai

udi chehare ki rangat dhadakanon ne dil tatola
udi chehare ki rangat dhadakanon ne dil tatola
tasavvur mein tera, haye
tasavvur mein tera baithe bithaye chhed jana
bahut mushkil hai

palat kar, dekh kar, hans kar, jhijhak kar, sar jhuka kar
palat kar, dekh kar, hans kar, jhijhak kar, sar jhuka kar
kisi ka yuun mere, haye
kisi ka yuun mere soye hue araman,
aji araman jagana

bahut aasan hai ...

To smile from behind a veiled screen,
so easy, a gentle facade.
But oh, so hard,
to step forth, face to face,
to meet eyes, unmasked and unafraid.

Love blooms for all, a cruel decree,
love, a shared human fate.
But for those who truly love, alas,
the world itself becomes their foe,
a bitter, hostile estate.

The face loses its bloom, the heart, it races,
searching for solace within.
And in your imagined presence, oh,
to be subtly, unexpectedly stirred,
so hard it is to begin.

To turn, to glance, to laugh, to hesitate,
then bow the head in sweet surrender.
To awaken, so, my sleeping dreams,
to be roused so tenderly,
by another's gentle hand.
