When my beloved returned in the evening,
Toh Lag Gaye Chand Mere Naam Ko
my name sounded even more lovely.
Jab Saiyan Aaye Sham Ko
When my beloved returned in the evening,
Toh Lag Gaye Chand Mere Naam Ko
my name sounded even more beautiful.
Sar Pe Rakh Ke Nach Phiri Main, Har Jalte Huwe Ilzaam Ko
I danced while accepting fiery blame.
Jab Saiyaan Aaye Sham Ko
When my beloved returned in the evening,
Toh Lag Gaye Chand Mere Naam Ko
My name sounded even more lovely.
Deewaron Dar Chaukhat Vaukhat Ban Gaye Hain Sab Saheli
The doors and the threshold are now all my friends.
Yeh Kuchh Pooche Woh Kuch Puchhe
When one asks me something and another asks me something else,
Kitne Jawab Doon Main Akeli
how many answers should I give on my own?
Hazaron Kaam Mil Gaye Hain, Yun Baithe Bithaye Is Nakaam Ko
This useless one has thousands of chores to complete.
Jab Saiyaan Aaye Sham Ko, Toh Lag Gaye Chand Mere Naam Ko
My name sounded even more lovely when my beloved returned in the evening.
Khud’Ko Dekhne Tak Ki Bhi Fursat Mujhko Nahi Milti
I hardly have time to look in the mirror.
Unke Ishq Ke Noor Ke Aage Shamma Nahi Jalti
When compared to my beloved’s love, even the fire appears gloomy.
Khud Ko Dekhne Tak Ki Bhi Fursat Mujhko Nahi Milti
I hardly have time to check myself in the mirror.
Unke Ishq Ke Noor Ke Aage Shamma Nahi Jalti
Even the fire appears gloomy when compared to my beloved’s love.
Lakhon Naaz Lag Gaye Hain Phir Guroor Ke Is Badnaam Ko
This overly proud one now has thousands of reasons to be elated.
Jab Saiyan Aaye Sham Ko Toh Lag Gaye Chand Mere Naam Ko
When my beloved returned in the evening, my name sounded even more lovely.
Sar Pe Rakh Ke Nach Phiri Main Har Jalte Hue Ilzaam Ko
I gladly accepted every venomous accusation hurled at me and danced.
