Ek Ladki Thi
Film: Love You Hamesha
Singer: Kavita Krishnamurthy


ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
i was a girl, so very shy

ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli
now i have become so much colourful

ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi, meri chunariya peeli peeli
my yellow scarf has become a snake and has got wrapped around me

naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi meri chunariya peeli peeli
ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

mere bachpan, chhod de baeeyaan
o my childhood! let go of my arm

mera yauvan, mera saeeyaan
my adulthood is my lover

haath main uske haath mein de doon
i wish to give my hand in his hand

aagey jeevan bhool bhulaiyaan
after that life may become any labyrinth

dil ki galiyon mein aaye banjaare
zypsies have arrived in the lanes of heart

bech rahe wo sapne kunware
they are selling untouched dreams

chhedi kisne bansi pe dhun sureeli
who has played such a sweet tune on flute

ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

chhan chhan
jingle, jingle

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
bangles jingle in the hands

paayalein raaton mein chan chan
silver ornaments worn in feet jingle during the nights

jal gayi re barsaaton mein
i got burnt during rains

aa gayi dil ki baaton mein
i got carried away by the prompting of my heart

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein aa gayi dil ki baaton mein
ha
naam ka saawan boond boond barse
the rains are dripping drop by drop, just for namesake

patjhad jaisa ye man tarse
my mind longs like the autumn defoliation

kaisi badan mein aag lagi ye
what is this fire erupted in my body

main to aa gayi baahar ghar se
i came out of my home

kaare badra tu mujhko bhigo de
o dark cloud, you drench me

doob jaaon main mujhko dubo de
i wish do get drowned, make me drown

kaisi pyaari rut hai ye meethi sureeli
what a lovely season this is, sweet and melodious

ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli
ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi meri chunariya peeli peeli
naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi meri chunariya peeli peeli
ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

chhan chhan choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein
aa gayi dil ki baaton mein

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein
aa gayi dil ki baaton mein

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein
aa gayi dil ki baaton mein
