mere mahbub mere is dil ne raat ko din
subah ko sham likha
itna beichain kar diya tumne
maine ye khat tumhare naam likha

pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye mai kya karu
ishk ne meri aisi halat ki hai
ishk ne meri aisi halat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye mai kya karu
pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye main kya karu
ishk ne meri aisi halat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye mai kya karu
pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye mai kya karu

mera haal bura hai lekin tum kaisi ho likhna
mera chhodo jaan meri apna khayal tum rakhna
kore kagaz pe maine sara armaan nikala
mere is dil me jo kuch tha khat me sabh likh dala

pehli pehli baar shararat ki hai
pehli pehli baar shararat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye mai kya karu
pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye main kya karu

kash mera dil bhi koi kagaz ka tukda hota
raat ko teri baho me takiye ke niche sota
ho keral me garmi hai nainital se sardi bhejo
jo rahat paunchaye aisa kuch bedardi bhejo
bin teri yado ke ek pal jina hai mushkil
kaise likh du tujhko kitna chahe mera dil
apni ek tasvir lifafe me rakh kar bhijwa do
mai khud milne aaungi
kuch din dil ko samjha do tum kitni bholi ho
tum kitne achhe ho
tum kitni seedhi ho tum kitne sache ho

pehli pehli baar ye chahat ki hai
pehli pehli baar ye chahat ki hai
kuch na samajh me aaye mai kya karu
pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
pehli pehli baar mohabbat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye mai kya karu

ishq ne meri aisi halat ki hai
ishq ne meri aisi halat ki hai
kuch na samjh me aaye mai kya karu

My Beloved, my heart has painted night as day,
Dawn as dusk, in this endless sway.
You've stirred such unrest within my core,
That this letter, to you, I now pour.

For the first time, love has taken hold,
For the first time, a story unfolds.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do,
Love has brought me to this altered view.
Love has brought me to this altered view.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do,
For the first time, love has taken hold.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do,
Love has brought me to this altered view.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do,
For the first time, love has taken hold.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do.

My state is troubled, yet how fare you, write,
Forget my plight, and keep your own heart bright.
On blank pages, I’ve spilled my soul's desire,
All that was within, in this letter I transpire.

For the first time, mischief takes its flight,
For the first time, a thrilling delight.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do,
For the first time, love has taken hold.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do.

If only my heart were a paper so slight,
To sleep in your arms, beneath your soft light.
If Kerala's heat plagues, send Nainital's chill,
A balm for my soul, a reprieve for my will.
Without your memory, life's a fleeting art,
How to convey the longing of my heart?
Send a portrait of yourself, enclosed and near,
I'll come to you, dispelling all fear.
Console your heart for a while, its innocent start,
How pure you are, and how dear to my heart.
How good you are, and how true you remain.

For the first time, this longing takes its form,
For the first time, weathering love’s warm storm.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do,
For the first time, love has taken hold.
For the first time, a story unfolds.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do.

Love has brought me to this altered view.
Love has brought me to this altered view.
I'm lost, confused, don't know what to do.
