mere dosto mujhe aajkal
na to chain hai na karaar hai
mera sirf itna kusur hai
mujhe ek ladki se pyaar hai
mere dosto mujhe aajkal
na to chain hai na karaar hai

tumhe dil ka haal sunau kya
vo hai kaun tumko batau kya
meri aarzu ka vo geet hai
meri dhadkano ki pukaar hai
mere dosto mujhe aajkal
na to chain hai na karaar hai

mere dil me jaise utar gayi vo
hasin nigahe kiran kiran
meri saans saans mehak uthi
ke vo ladki jaise bahaar hai
mere dosto mujhe aajkal
na to chain hai na karaar hai

kabhi sochta hu vo dur hai
kabhi sochta hu vo paas hai
mujhe halka halka sa hosh hai
mujhe halka halka khumaar hai
mere dosto mujhe aajkal
na to chain hai na karaar hai

My friends, these days I find,
No peace, no solace for my mind.
My only fault, my only plight,
Is love for a girl, burning bright.
My friends, these days I find,
No peace, no solace for my mind.

Shall I tell you the heart's true state?
Or speak her name, to seal my fate?
She is the song of my desire,
The echo of my heart's own fire.
My friends, these days I find,
No peace, no solace for my mind.

Within my heart, she took her place,
Her laughing eyes, a sunlit grace.
Each breath I take, with fragrance filled,
Like spring itself, her presence willed.
My friends, these days I find,
No peace, no solace for my mind.

Sometimes I think she's far away,
Then close, as if she'll always stay.
A fleeting sense of lucidity,
A gentle, heady, sweet intensity.
My friends, these days I find,
No peace, no solace for my mind.
