Aisa hota tha, Lyrics, Translation (Dus Tola)

Are re re re
Are re re re
Are re re rehe

Na meri chali na
Na dil ki chali
Jo chale so chalti hai
Aagaz wahi, anjaam wahi
Ye kiski galti hai
Aisa hota tha, aisa hota hai, aisa hi hota hai
Are re re re


Neither my said happened
nor heart's said happened
whatever happens, happens,
the sae beginning, the same end,
whose mistake is this..
this used to happen, this happens, this only happens..


Dhoop chadhe jo deewar par
Yaad jo aaye to kya karein
Log to uthke chal diye
Saaya na jaaye to kya karein
Aan padi hai ab wo ghadi
Na bane hi banti hai

when sunlight rises on the wall,
when I remember you, what to do,
people got up and walked away

if the shadow doesn't go, what to do,
the time has come, 
when nothing is made.. 

aaghaz wahi, anjaam wahi
Ye kiski galti hai
Aisa hota tha, aisa hota hai, sau tola sach hai
Are re re re

Do badan do ruhein thi
Ek zamane mein ek the
Haan wafa mein koi dosh tha
Bewafa to sare nek the
Nazar ka taar koi tod le
To chot si lagti hai

There were two bodies, two souls,
Once they were one,
There was some flaw in faith,
unfaithfuls were all good-hearted,
if someone breaks the string of sight,
it kinda hurts..

aaghaz wahi, anjaam wahi
Ye kiski galti hai
Aisa hota tha, aisa hota hai, aisa hi hota hai
Are re re re

Jee Na Jalaiyo Lyrics Translation

jee na jalaio jalaiyo na rasiya
jee na jalaio jalaiyo na

O pleasure seeker (lover), don't inflame my heart,
don't inflame my heart.. 

jee na jalaio re
jiya mein jaan basi hai re
dhuan jo laage to
ye ankhiyaan jalti hain
jo bhar aaye to
ye ankhiyaan chalti hain
O mann basiya re rasiya re  

Don't inflame the heart,
In the heart, the life lives,
if they get smoke,
these eyes burn,
if they are full,
these eyes move (cry)..
O heart-inhabited, pleasure-seeker.. 

tere khayalon ke paro par
chithiyan rakhi aur udai
kore lifafe likh likh ke 
hothon se mohare lagayin
baithe baithe karghe par
shaamein kaati raaton mein 

On the wings of your thoughts,
I kept letters and flew them,
wrote on/in plain envelopes (letters),
and sealed them with lips,
sitting on the loom,
I passed the evenings into nights..

O mann basiyan re rasiya re
jee na jalaiyo re
jeeya mein jaan basi hai re
dhuan jo lage to
ye ankhiyaan jalti hai
jo bhar aaye to
ye ankhiyaan chalti hai

jee na jalaiyo jalaiyo na rasiya
jee na jalaio jalaio na 

paas jo gire to gajar bajta hai
ankhiyon mein khaara namak lagta hai
O palak palak pal girte hai
pairon ke tale samay chalta hai
tan ka dhuan tan mein rahe
jaan na jaye wo kahin
jeeya mein jaan basi hai re 

if fallen nearby, the chimes make sound,
eyes feel salty like salt (is there inside), 
moments fall by the eyelids,
time walks below the feet,
the smoke of body should live in the body,
lest it should know,
that the life lives in heart..

jee na jalaiyo re, jeeya mein
jaan basi hai re
dhuan jo lage to
ye ankhiyaan jalti hai
jo bhar aaye to
ye ankhiyaan chalti hai

O mann basiya re rasiya re
jee na jalaiyo re
dhuan jo lage to
ye ankhiyaan jalti hai
jo bhar aaye to
ye ankhiyaan chalti hai
