Kamli Songtext

von Sunidhi Chauhan

Main Rutthiyan Yaar Manaawangi
I'll coax (entice/persuade) my upset beloved
Har Chilman Phoonk Jalawangi
I'll burn down every curtain
Jad Patthar Raanjha Pighlega
When my stone-hearted Raanjha (lover) will melt
(Referring to Heer-Raanjha/Raanjhanaa, a famous romantic couple in Indian History,
Similar to Romeo-Juliet)
Tad Main Kamli Kehlawangi… Then I'll truly be called a crazy(devoted) lover

Mahiya… Mahiya… Mahiya…
My beloved, my beloved, my beloved

Mere Mahiya Sanam Jaanam
O my beloved, my partner, my sweetheart
Kive Kariya Nami Daanam
I have no idea what I'm doing
Shab Guzri Te Jag Soya
The night passes and the world sleeps
Ni Main Jagya Nami Daanam
And I'm awake without any reason
(And I wonder why I'm awake)

Mere Mahiya Sanam Jaanam
O my beloved, my partner, my sweetheart
Kive Kariya Nami Daanam
I have no idea what I'm doing
Shab Guzri Te Jag Soya
The night passes and the world sleeps
Ni Main Jagya Nami Daanam
And I'm awake without any reason

Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover
Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover

Jheel Dil Ko Kar Gaya
The heart was a lake before
Tu Dariya Dariya Mere Yaara
And You turned it into a river, my lover
(You made my heart weep like a river, my lover)
Ankhiyaan De Mohalle Mein
In the neighbourhood of the eyes
Har Shaam Tera Aalam
Your presence is there every evening
(You are always there in my eyes)
Shab Guzri Te Jag Soya
The night passes and the world sleeps
Ni Main Jagya Nami Daanam
And I'm awake without any reason

Mere Mahiya Sanam Jaanam
O my beloved, my partner, my sweetheart
Kive Kariya Nami Daanam
I have no idea what I'm doing
Shab Guzri Te Jag Soya
The night passes and the world sleeps
Ni Main Jagya Nami Daanam
And I'm awake without any reason

Main To Pehan Ke Saafa Kesariya
After wearing a saffron coloured scarf
Jugni Jogan Ban Jaoon
I'll become a wandering ascetic
Surme De Kaale Jaadu Se
With the black magic of my kohl
Kehde To Jog Bhulaoon
I'll make You forget Yoga
(Jog/Yoga refers to an ancient art consisting of physical, mental, and spiritual practices/disciplines)
Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy

Main To Sehar Di Thandi Shabnam Haan
I'm like a dew-drop of the morning
Gulshan Ka Ittar Churaoon
I steal fragrance from the flowers
Rukh Badloon To Sailaab Hoon Main
If I change my mannerism, I'm like a flood/storm
Parbat Vi Cheer Dikhaoon
I can even tear up the mountains
Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover
Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover

Bekhudi Mein Tu Khudi Ka Zariya Zariya Mere Yaara
In a state of senselessness, You're the source of consciousness, my love
Jhaalar Mein Sitaaron Ko Chanwarga Tu Yaaram
You're like a shining garland of stars, my beloved
Shab Ghuzri Te Jag Soya Aaa...
The night passes and the world sleeps
Ni Main Jagya Nami Daanam
And I'm awake without any reason

Mere Mahiya Sanam Jaanam
O my beloved, my partner, my sweetheart
Kive Kariya Nami Daanam
I have no idea what I'm doing
Shab Guzri Te Jag Soya
The night passes and the world sleeps
Ni Main Jagya Nami Daanam
And I'm awake without any reason

Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover
Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover

Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover

Ni Main Kamli Kamli I'm crazy
Mere Yaar Di
For my lover
Kamli... Kamli... Kamli...
Crazy... Crazy... Crazy...
