Pal pal dil ke paas tum rehtee ho
Jeevan meeṭhee pyaas ye kehtee ho
Pal pal …
Har shaam aȧkhȯ par teraa aȧchal lehraaye
Har raat yaadȯ kee baaraat le aaye
Mȧi saȧs letaa hoȯ, teree khushboo aatee hai
Ik mahkaa-mahkaa saa paigaam laatee hai
Mere dil kee dhaṛkan bhee tere geet gaate hai
Pal pal dil…
Tum sochogee kyȯ itnaa, mȧi tumse pyaar karoȯ
Tum samjhogee deevaana mȧi bhee ikraar karoȯ
Deevaanȯ kee ye baatė, deevaane jaante hȧi
Jalne mȧi kyaa mazaa hai, paravaane jaante hȧi
Tum yoȯ hee jalaate rehna, aa-aa kar khvaabȯ mȧi
Pal pal dil ke…
Kal tujhko dekhaa thaa, mȧine apne aangan mė
Jaise kah rahee thee tum, mujhe baandh lo bandhan mė
Ye kaisaa rishtaa hai, ye kaise sapne hȧi
Begaane ho kar bhee, kyȯ lagte apne hȧi
Mȧi soch mė rahta hoȯ, ḍar-ḍar ke kehtaa hoȯ
Pal pal dil
In each moment of time – you reside in my heart. There is a saying, “Life is so sweet that we thirst for it”. (So, I thirst for you).
Every evening your image flutters on my eyelids and your presence is felt all around. Every night you come with companions. I draw my breath when your sweetness approaches. Every breath is filled with you – this gives me great happiness. My heart beats (dil ke dhadkan) as though it is singing your melody.
Oh why do I love you so much? I get lost in thoughts of you. But I am now determined to be with you. Only that person who experiences this type of emotion can understand my feelings. It would appear as though you were also born here in this entangled world.
Only yesterday I seemed to have had a glimpse of you nearby. I heard the sounds of your voice. I feel as if I am tied to your great bond. What kind of bond is this? What dream is this? I get crazy (begaane) without you. I think of you in each and every place.
Blackmail (1973); Kishore Kumar
