ishq vo balaa hai
ishq vo balaa hai jisko chhua isne vo jalaa hai
dil se hota hai shuru
dil se hota hai shuru par kambakht sir pe chadha hai
kabhi khud se kabhi khuda se kabhi jamane se lada hai
itna hua badnam fir bhi har juba pe ada hai

ishq ki saazishe, ishq ki baaziya
haara main khel ke do dilo ka juvaa
kyun tune meri fursat ki, kyun dil me itni harkat di
ishq me itni barkat ki ye tune kya kiya
firu ab mara mara main, chand se bichhda tara main

fir se itna kyun haara main ye tune kya kiya
sari duniya se jit ke main aaya hu idhar
tere aage hi main haara kiya tune kya asar
main dil ka raaz kahta hu ke jab jab saanse leta hu
tera hi naam leta hu ye tune kya kiya

meri baaho ko teri saanso ki jo aadte lagi hai
aisi jee leta hu ab main thoda aur
meri dil ki ret pe aankho ki jo pade parchhayi teri
pee leta hu tab main thoda aur

jane kaun hai tu meri main na janu ye magar
jaha jaau main karu main vaha tera hi jikar
mujhe tu raazi lagti hai, jiti hui baazi lagti hai
tabiyat taazi lagti hai ye tune kya kiya
main dil ka raaz kahta hu ke jab jab saanse leta hu
tera hi naam leta hu ye tune kya kiya

dil karta hai teri baate sunu
soche naya dhure chunu muft ka hua ye faayda
kyun khud ko main barbaad karu
fanaa hoke tujhse milu ishq ka ajab hai taayda

teri raaho se jo gujri hai meri dagar
main bhi aage badh gaya hu hoke thoda befikar
kaho to kisse marzi lu kaho to kisko arzi du
hasta ab thoda farzi hu ye tune kya kiya
main dil ka raaz kahta hu ke jab jab saanse leta hu
tera hi naam leta hu ye tune kya kiya

kyun tune meri itni fursat ki, kyun dil me itni harkat di
ishq me itni barkat ki ye tune kya kiya
firu ab mara mara main, chand se bichhda tara main
fir se itna kyu hara main ye tune kya kiya
haara main khel ke do dilo ka juva

Love, a tempest, a consuming fire,
Whom it touches, it sets afire.
It begins in the heart, it takes its start,
But alas, it climbs to the head, a liar.

Fought with self, with God, with the world's disdain,
So infamous, yet on every tongue, it does remain.

Love's machinations, love's gambits played,
I lost the game of two hearts, betrayed.
Why did you grant me such a respite?
Why did you stir such unrest, ignite?
In love, such blessings, such a delight? What have you done?
I wander lost, a star from the moon withdrawn,
Why am I defeated anew? What have you done?

I came here, winning from the world entire,
Before you, I lost, what spell did you inspire?
I reveal the heart's secret, a whispered plea,
Each breath I take, I utter your name, you see,
What have you done?

My arms have grown accustomed to your breath,
And I live on thus, a little, I confess.
On the sand of my heart, your shadow falls,
And I drink it in then, a little, before the walls.
Who are you, my love, I do not know, it's true,
Wherever I go, I speak only of you.
You seem like my reason, like a victory won,
My spirit feels fresh, what have you done?
I reveal the heart's secret, a whispered plea,
Each breath I take, I utter your name, you see,
What have you done?

My heart desires to hear your every word,
To choose new paths, a benefit conferred.
Why should I destroy myself in all this haze?
To vanish in you, unite in love's maze.
From your paths, my road now goes,
I've moved forward, a bit at ease, it shows.
To whom should I speak, whose permission seek?
I laugh now, a little fake, what is the freak?
I reveal the heart's secret, a whispered plea,
Each breath I take, I utter your name, you see,
What have you done?
Why did you grant me such a respite?
Why did you stir such unrest, ignite?
In love, such blessings, such a delight? What have you done?
I wander lost, a star from the moon withdrawn,
Why am I defeated anew? What have you done?
I lost the game of two hearts, betrayed.
