TUJHE DEKHA TO -Lyrics
Chorus:
tujhe dekha to yeh jaana sanam
When I saw you, I understood this, sweetheart:
pyaar hota hai diivaana sanam
love is madness, sweetheart.
tujhe dekha to yeh jaana sanam
When I say you, I understood this, sweetheart:
ab yahaa.n se kahaa.n jaae.n ham
Now where do we go from here?
terii baaho.n me.n mar jaae.n ham
May I die in this embrace!

aa.nkhe.n merii sapane tere
They’re my eyes, but the dreams in them are yours.
dil mera yaade.n terii
It’s my heart, but it houses your memories.
meraa hai kya, sab kuchh teraa
What’s left to me? Everything is yours.
jaan terii saa.nse.n terii
My life is yours, my very breath is yours.
merii aa.nkho.n me.n aa.nsuu tere aa ga'e
My eyes filled with your tears;
muskuraane lage saare gam
all my cares began to smile.

Chorus

yeh dil kahii.n lagtaa nahii.n
This heart won't take anywhere else.
kya kahuu.n mai.n kya karuu.n
What shall I say, what shall I do?
haa.n tuu saamane baiTHii rahe
Yes, stay seated before me,
mai.n tujhe dekhaa karuu.n
so I might look at you always!
tuu ne aavaaz dii dekh mai.n aa ga’ii
You called, and look, I came.
pyaar se hai baDii kya kasam
What oath is greater than love? (i.e., What obligation takes precedence over love?)

Chorus
