Ay Hairathe

Ay Hairathe
Film: Guru
Singers: Hariharan, Alka Yagnik

Dam dara dam dara chashm chashme nam
eyes eys wet (with tears)
Dam dara dam dara chashm chashme nam
eyes eys wet (with tears)
Sun mere hum dum hamesha ishq mei hi jeena
Listen my love, always live in the love

Ay hairathe ashiqui jagaa math
O' overwhelming Love ! Don't let me wake up
pairon se zameen zameen laga math
Don't let me fall down to earth. (Let me soar high up!)
Ay hairathe ashiqui
O' overwhelming Love !

Kyun Urdu faarsi bolte ho
Why speak Urdu Faarsi?
das kehte ho do tolthe ho
speak of ten but weigh only two?
jhhooton ke shahenshah bolo na
the king of lies, speak up
kabhi jhakon meri aankhen sunaaye
Peep inside my eyes sometime, (the eyes) will tell you
ek daastan jo hoton se kholo na
one saga, don't ever open your lips to say (keep it secret)
do chaar maheen se lamhon mein
in some minute moments /* [ maheen = minute, subtle, lamhon=moments]
umron ke hisab bhi hote hain
(we) also count the age (of ours)
jinhe dekha nahin kal tak kahin bhi
whom we never seen since yesterday
ab kok mein who chehre bote hain
now I carry them in my womb
