Roman Script

Chand Si Mehbooba Ho Meri Kab Aisa Maine Socha Tha
Haa Tum Bilkul Vaisi Ho Jaisa Maine Socha Tha

Hindi

चाँद सी महबूबा हो मेरी कब ऐसा मैंने सोचा था
हाँ तुम बिलकुल वैसी हो जैसा मैंने सोचा था

Translation

I had dreamt of having a moonlike beloved.
You are exactly like like that.

Roman Script

Na Rasme Hain, Na Kasme Hain
Na Shikve Hain, Na Vaade Hain
Ik Soorat Bholi Bhaali Hai,
Do Naina Seedhe Saade Hain - 2
Aisa Hi Roop Khayalo Mein Tha
Jaisa Maine Socha Tha, Haa ...

Hindi

ना रस्में हैं ना कसमें हैं
ना शिकवे हैं ना वादे हैं
इक सूरत भोली भाली है
दो नैना सीधे सादे हैं - २
ऐसा ही रूप खयालों में था
जैसा मैंने सोचा था, हाँ ...

Translation

No traditions, No vows.
No grievances, No promises.
An innocent demeanor.
Two straightforward eyes.
A form like this was in my dreams.
Like I had thought ...

Roman Script

Meri Khushiya Hi Na Baante
Mere Gham Bhi Sehna Chhahe
Dekhe Na Khwaab Wo Mehlon Ke
Mere Dil Mein Rehna Chhahe
Is Duniya Mein Kaun Tha Aisa
Jaisa Maine Socha Tha, Haan ...

Hindi

मेरी खुशियाँ ही ना बाँटे
मेरे ग़म भी सहना चाहे
देखे ना ख्वाब वो महलों के
मेरे दिल में रहना चाहे
इस दुनिया में कौन था ऐसा
जैसा मैंने सोचा था, हाँ ...

Translation

Not only does she share my joys
She bears my sorrows too
She does not dream of mansions
She wishes to live in my heart
Who was there in this world
whom I had imagined?
