TUM MERI KYA HO
WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME

Aaj punchhta hoon tumse
Tum meri kya ho
Dil mein mere rahtee ho
Mujhse aksar kehtee ho
Main naa hoon to kyaa ho..?

I ask you
Today.. what you mean to me
You live in my heart
Often you tell me..
What if I am not there.

Kya dil mein tanhaai ka ehsaas rahega
Kya dil ko dhadkan kaa paas rahega
Kyadhadkan dil kee jab bhee sunoge
Dil tera kutchh udaas rahega

Will the heart be abode to feelings of loneliness
Will the heart be aware of it's own heartbeats
Whenever you hear the music of the heart
Will your heart have melancholy as its part?

Suraj kee kirne jab aa kar chere se ,
Raat kee chadar hataayeingi
Khiltee kaliyaan mehkeingee,
kholeingee palkon ke sapne..
Sapnon mein tumko paayengee.

When the rays of sun, gently tug off the sheets
Of night
Off your face
The buds opening to fragrance,
of your dreams opening up
within your lashes
will they find me in those dreams?

Kya tera dard kahin jab, aansoo ban kar
Beh jaayega
Ban kar lehren saagar kee, saat samunder paar talak
Har dil ko chhoo jaayega.

When your ache melts into tears
And flows out
And becoming waves of sea, reach beyond the seven seas
And touch  every heart.

Kya tera pyaar mujhe, shaam talak
Apni baahon me laa paayega
Yaa suraj shaam talak, sagar kee lehron mein
Gote khaayega..

Will you be able to get me in your arms
When the sun sets
Or, the sun till evening
Will keep drowning in the sea.

Aaj kehta hoon tumse.. tum meri kya ho..
Janmon se behtee mer hriday mein
Pavitra prem kee sarita ho
Dhadkan ho mere jeevan kee, jeevan kee
Meri kavita ho..

I tell you today..
 what you mean to me..
A stream of pure love
flowing in my heart
Since my previous births and rebirths
You are the heartbeat of my life
The poetry
of my life....
