Dil Se - A.R.Rahman

ik suraj nikla tha

The sun had come out;

kuchh paara pighala tha

the temperature had dropped.

ek aandhi aayi thi

A whirlwind kicked up

jab dil se aa nikli thi

just as a cry shot forth from the heart,

dil se re

from the heart.

dil to aakhir dil hai na

After all, a heart is only a heart;

mithi si mushkil hai na

it’s a sweet hardship.

piya piya piya na piya

Beloved…

jiya jiya jiya na jiya

Life itself…

dil se re

from the heart

vo patte patjhad ke pedon se utare the

Two fall leaves fell from the trees,

pedon ki shaakhon se utare the

from the tree branches they fell.

phir utne mausam guzare

The seasons passed,

vo patte do bechare

and those two poor leaves,

phir ugane ki chaahat mein

in their desire to rise (sprout),

vo saharon se guzare

passed over the desert.

vo patte dil dil dil the

Those leaves were our hearts…

vo dil the dil dil dil the

They were our hearts…

dil hai to phir dard hoga

If you have a heart, you’ll know pain in your lifetime,

dard hai to dil bhi hoga

and if you feel pain, it will be because you have a heart.

mausam guzarte hi rahate hai

The seasons keep passing.

dil hai to phir dard hoga

If you have a heart, you’ll know pain in your lifetime,

dard hai to dil bhi hoga

and if you feel pain, it will be because you have a heart.

mausam guzarte hi rahate hai

The seasons keep passing

dil se

through my heart.

bandhan hain rishton mein

There are restrictions within relationships,

kaanton ki taarein hain

chains of thorns,

patthar ke darwaaze diwaarein

doors and walls of stone.

belein phir bhi ugati hain

But even so, the leaves take root,

aur gunche bhi khilte hai

and even so, their buds bloom

aur chalte hai afsaane

and their romance succeeds.

kirdar bhi milte hai

The characters in the story meet,

vo rishte dil dil dil the

and their bonds are of the heart,

vo dil the dil dil dil the

they are of the heart…

gam dil ke paksh chulbulein hain

The heart’s miseries are fleeting.

paani ke ye bulbule hai

Like bubbles of water

bhujhte hai bante rehte hai

they’re extinguished, and then they form again,

gam dil ke paksh chulbulein hain

The heart’s miseries are fleeting.

paani ke ye bulbule hai

Like bubbles of water

bhujhte hai bante rehte hai

they’re extinguished, and then they form again,

dil se dil se dil se re

from the heart…
