Hai apnaa dil to aawaaraa,
na jaane kis pe aayegaa
Haseenò ne bulaayaa, gale se bhee lagaayaa
Bahut samajhaaya, yahee naa samjh
Bahut bholaa hài bechaaraa, na jaane kis pe aayegaa
Ajab hài deewaanaa, naa dar na ṭhikaanaa
Zameen se begaanaa, phalak se judaa
Ye ek tootaa huaa taaraa, naa jaane kis pe aayegaa
Zamaana dekhaa saaraa, hài sab kaa sahaaraa
Ye dil hee humaaraa, huaa naa kisee kaa
Safar mè hài ye banjaaraa, naa jaane kis pe aayegaa
Huaa jo kabhee raajee, to mila nahee kaajee
Jahaa pe lagee baazee, wahee pe haaraa
Zamaane bhar ka naakaaraa, naa jaane kis pe aayegaa
My heart seems to be a wanderer. To whom will it take a liking, I wonder.
Many beautiful ones have called and embraced me. All their attempts to explain feelings were lost to my heart. My poor heart is too innocent to understand.
My heart is strange and seemingly mad. It has no attachment, no roots with the earth, and is distant from the heavens. It is like a shooting star.
I have seen the world and I have everyone’s support. But this heart of mine is like a gypsy, always wandering without attachment.
And even if it agrees to like someone, no priest can be found to match. Whenever it has taken a gamble, it has lost, rejected by both worlds.
Singer: Hemant Kumar; Movie: Solva Saal (1958)
