i am sixteen going on seventeen dil kyu na dhak dhak kare
haye dil kyu na dhak dhak kare
i am sixteen going on seventeen
dil kyu na dhak dhak kare haye dil kyu na dhak dhak kare
mere bas me jawani hai puri fir bhi lagti hu kitni adhuri
o janam tere bin rat hai rang hai jidnagi hai
fir bhi aisa lage kuch kami hai o janam tere bin
i am sixteen going on seventeen dil kyu na dhak dhak kare
haye dil kyu na dhak dhak kare

mahka mahka badan bahka bahka shama
mausam hai tujhse hasi rate tujhse jawa
aag utne ye kaisi laga di jism sara pighalne laga
tune aankho se kya bat kah dil
dil diwana machalne laga aaj dil me udasi hai kitni
ye hasi rat pyasi hai kitni o janam tere bin
i am sixteen going on seventeen
dil kyu na dhak dhak kare haye dil kyu na dhak dhak kare

mitade ye duriya kya hai majburiya
dhudhe dil ye mera teri najdikiya
mai sulagti jami tu hai badal haye kaise mai tanha rahu
tu nadi hai kinare pe tere ye bata kaise pyasa rahu
ab to ek pal gujara na jaye mujhse mausam sambhala na jaye
o janam tere bin rat hai rang hai jindagi hai
fir bhi aisa lage kuch kami hai o janam tere bin
i am sixteen going on seventeen dil kyu na dhak dhak kare
haye dil kyu na dhak dhak kare

you are sixteen going on seventeen
dil kyu na dhak dhak kare haye dil kyu na dhak dhak kare

Why does the heart pound so?
I am sixteen, going on seventeen.
Why does the heart pound so? Oh, why?
Youth is mine, completely, yet incomplete I seem.

O beloved, without you, night is just night, color is just color, life is just life,
Yet it feels like something's missing, O beloved, without you.
I am sixteen, going on seventeen. Why does the heart pound so?
Oh, why?

Scented, the body; the atmosphere, intoxicated.
The season, more beautiful with you; nights, youthful with you.
What fire has ignited? The heart, the body, all begin to melt.
What words did you speak with your eyes?
The heart, crazed, begins to thrash. How much sadness is in the heart today?
How thirsty is this beautiful night, O beloved, without you.
I am sixteen, going on seventeen.
Why does the heart pound so? Oh, why?

Erase these distances, what are these constraints?
My heart seeks your closeness.
I am smoldering earth; you, the cloud. Oh, how can I remain alone?
You are the river; upon the shore, tell me, how can I remain thirsty?
Now, not even a moment passes without longing; the season cannot be contained by me.
O beloved, without you, night is just night, color is just color, life is just life,
Yet it feels like something's missing, O beloved, without you.
I am sixteen, going on seventeen. Why does the heart pound so?
Oh, why?
You are sixteen, going on seventeen.
Why does the heart pound so? Oh, why?
