Tum kahaȧ chhupe ho saȧvare
Do nainaa bhaye more baȧvare
Tujhe khoj khoj mai hari
Ab thakne lage more paȧv re
Tum bin ye jag khaṛaa hai
Chaaro taraf andhiyaaraa hai
Aaj sakhee man haraa hai
Itnee door kinaaraa hai
Ḍole jeevan kee dagmag naav re
Naiyaa ke khivaiya aao re
Tujhe khoj khoj…
Laakh tumhe hu bisrati
Phir bhee bhool nahee paatee
Bichaṛ gayaa jeevan saathee
Tel binaa jaltee baatee
Aȧkho se teraa algaav re
Hai man me chupaa ek ghaav re
Tujhe khoj khoj
Dheere dheere saȧjh ḍhale
Ruk ruk meree saȧs chale
Ḍhoond thakee par tum na mile
Man taṛpe mere praaṇ jale
Mere pran jale
Baṛee door door teraa gaav re
Tere paȧv kee dheekhe na chaav re
Tujhe khoj khoj
Where are your beautiful dark eyes? Where are you hiding, I am now getting tired, searching for you.
Without you, the darkness is all around. Today I feel so lonely and the destination seems like a distant shore. The wavering boat of life is swaying. Please come to me, O pilot.
I miss you so much. Even though apart, I cannot forget you, like a wick without oil is useless. My heart is getting pained and raw, searching for you.
The evening approaches but my breath is halting. I am searching endlessly for you. My soul burns in agony. You are so far away and my feet are failing.
Shravan Kumar (1956); Lata Mangeshkar
