Do Ghadi Wo Jo Paas - Lyrics & Translation

Lyrics

Do ghadee wo jo paas aa baithhe 

Ham zamaane se door jaa baithhe 

Bhool kee unkaa hamnashee hoke 

Royenge dil ko umrabhar khoke 

Haay kyaa cheez thee lootaa baithhe 

Dil ko ek din zarur janaa thaa 

Waheen pahoochaa jahan thhikanaa thaa 

Dil wahee dil jo dilmein jaa baithhe 

Ek dil hee thaa gamgusaar apnaa 

Meharbaan, khaas razadaar apanaa 

Gair kaa kyon use banaa baithhe? 

Gair bhee to koee haseen hogaa 

Dil yun hee de diyaa naheen hogaa 

Dekhkar kuchh to chot khaa baithhe 

दो घड़ी वो जो पास आ बैठे 

हम जमाने से दूर जा बैठे 

भूल की उनका हमनशी होके 

रोयेंगे दिल को उमरभर खोके 

हाय क्या चीज थी लूटा बैठे 

दिल को एक दिन जरुर जाना था 

वही पहूचा जहा ठिकाना था 

दिल वही दिल जो दिलमें जा बैठे 

एक दिल ही था गमगुसार अपना 

मेहरबां, ख़ास राजदार अपना 

गैर का क्यों उसे बना बैठे? 

गैर भी तो कोई हसीं होगा 

दिल यूं ही दे दिया नहीं होगा 

देखकर कुछ तो चोट खा बैठे

Translation

For few moments as sat besides me my fiance. 
Away from real world I moved away. 

It was a blunder to be her drinking partner. 
My heart now weeps for losing itself forever. 
How precious was it that I gave away. 

The heart had to go oneday anyway. 
It reached where it aimed its way. 
My heart settled in her heart all the way. 

I had just one ardous heart of my own. 
A special foster and messenger of my own. 
Why I allow it to become of a stranger's in this way? 

The stranger had to be one very special person. 
He wouldn't have parted his heart for no reason. 
Some blows he must have suffered looking her way.
