| dil ne kaha chupke se yeh kya
hua chupke se |
The heart said silently,
what is this, that happened silently? |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh
dharatii gagan |
Why do the earth and sky
suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh
pagalii pavan |
When I asked this, the mad
wind said, |
| pyaar hua chupke se yeh kya
hua chupke se |
love happened silently; what
is this, that happened silently? |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh
dharatii gagan |
Why do the earth and sky
suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh
pagalii pavan |
I asked this, and the mad
wind said, |
| pyaar hua chupke se yeh kya
hua chupke se |
Love happened silently; what
is this, that happened silently? |
| titaliyo.n se suna titaliyo.n
se suna |
I heard from the butterflies... |
| mai.n ne qissa baag ka baag
me.n thii ek kalii |
the tale of a garden; in
the garden was a flower bud. |
| sharmiilii anchhu'ii ek din
man chala bha.nvaraa aa gaya |
One day the shy bud was visited
by a flirtatious bee. |
| khil uTHii voh kalii paaya ruup
naya |
The bud bloomed wide, it
assumed a new form. |
| puuchhtii thii kalii ki mujhe
kya hua |
The bud asked, what happened
to me? |
| phuul ha.Nsa chupke se pyaar
hua chupke se |
The flower laughed quietly;
love happened quietly. |
| mai.n ne baadal se kabhii o
mai.n ne baadal se kabhii |
Sometimes, from the clouds,
I |
| yeh kahaanii thii sunii parvato.n
kii ek nadii |
have heard this story: there
was a mountain river, |
| milne saagar se chalii |
it flowed to meet the sea. |
| jhuumatii ghuumatii ho naachatii
Doltii |
It twisted and staggered,
oh, it danced and swayed. |
| kho ga'ii apne saagar me.n jaake
nadii |
Having gotten there, the
river lost itself in the ocean |
| dekhne pyaar kii aisii jaaduugarii |
in order to see what sort
of magician love is. |
| chaa.nd khila chupke se pyaar
hua chupke se |
The moon expanded quietly;
love happened quietly. |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh
dhartii gagan |
Why do the earth and sky
suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh
pagalii pavan |
When I asked this, the mad
wind said, |
| pyaar hua chupke se yeh kya
hua chupke se |
love happened silently; what
is this, that happened silently? |
| kyo.n naye lag rahe.n hai yeh
dhartii gagan |
Why do the earth and sky
suddenly seem fresh and new? |
| mai.n ne puuchha to bolii yeh
pagalii pavan |
When I asked this, the mad
wind said... |
