kuchh samajh me nahi aata
hotho pe kisi ka naam, kisi ko akhiya kare salaam
ke iska kya matlab hai, ke iska kya matlab hai

jawani chhed rahi hai git, jawani chhed rahi hai git
kisi se huyi aapko prit, kisi se huyi aapako prit
ke iska ye matlab hai, ke iska ye matlab hai
ke iska ye matlab hai
sharam se chehra hua gulaabi, meri aankhe huyi sharaabi
ke iska kya matlab hai, ke iska kya matlab hai

kisi ne chheda dil ka taar, kisi ne chheda dil ka taar
chhana chhan bajne lagi sitaar
chhana chhan bajne lagi sitaar
ke iska ye matlab hai, ke iska ye matlab hai
ke iska ye matlab hai
nind na aaye saari raat chahe dil mulaaqaat
chahe dil mulaaqaat, chahe dil mulaaqaat mulaaqaat
ke iska kya matlab hai, ke iska kya matlab hai

kisi ko dil ne kiya manzur, kisi ko dil ne kiya manzur
raha na jaaye piya se dur, raha na jaaye piya se dur
ke iska ye matlab hai, ke iska ye matlab hai
ke iska ye matlab hai

A riddle unspoken,
A name on the lips, eyes that greet,
What does this whisper mean?
What does this hidden mean?

Youth hums a song,
A melody of love's beginning,
Your heart takes flight, takes flight.
This is the meaning, the secret song.
The meaning, the whispered song.
Blush on the cheek,
My eyes drunk with light,
What does this beauty mean?
What does this vision mean?

A heartstring is plucked,
The sitar sings its chime,
The sitar sings its chime,
This is the meaning, the echo of love.
The meaning, the echo of love.
Sleep flees the night,
The heart yearns to meet,
The heart yearns to meet,
What does this longing mean?
What does this fire mean?

The heart has chosen,
Longing for the beloved,
Longing for the beloved.
This is the meaning, the only truth.
The meaning, the only truth.
