Jaan-E-Jaan Lyrics English Translation – Aditya Rikhari | Farhan Khan

O Kaisi Ulfat Hai Jaana
Oh, what kind of love is this, my beloved?

Dil Bhi Lagana Musibat Hai Jaana Par
Falling in love is a trouble in itself, my beloved, but…

Tu Badi Dilkash Hai Jaana
You are incredibly captivating, my beloved.

Tu Badi Dilkash Hai Jaana
You are incredibly captivating, my beloved.

Le Tere Ishq Mein
Look at what has happened to me in your love.

Deewane Ki Ho Gayi Kya Haalat Hai Jaana Par
See what condition this lover has fallen into, my beloved, but…

Tu Badi Dilkash Hai Jaana
You are incredibly captivating, my beloved.

Le Hazir Phir Teri Khidmat Mein Jaana
Here I am again, at your service, my beloved.

Na Tu, Haan Tu Mere Ishq Ko Aabaad Kar
Come, yes, come and make my love flourish.

Yun Kuch Yun Bhar Baahon Mein Ke Azad Kar
Hold me in your arms in such a way that I feel liberated.

Tu Rakh Le Saansein Meri Girvi Magar
You may keep my breaths as collateral, but…

Yeh Karz Deke Mujhse Kabhi Jaane Ki Na Phir Baat Kar
After granting me this debt of love, never speak of leaving me again.

Le Jaan-E-Jaan Tera Hua Jee Chahe Waise Kharch De
Here, my beloved, I am yours; spend me however you wish.

Dard-E-Daawa Har Dard Ki Jee Bhar Ke Phir Se Mujhe Dard De
Be both the pain and its cure; give me all the pain you wish, to your heart’s content.

Kar Zalima Ek Aur Dafa Barbad Par Is Shart Pe
Destroy me once more, you cruel one, but on this one condition:

Tere Hijr-E-Gham Se Na Mare Toh Maar Dena Mujhe Haske
If I don’t die from the sorrow of being separated from you, then kill me with a smile.

Baithe-Baithe Chaukhato Pe Tere
Sitting and waiting at your doorstep,

Mere Jaana Kitne Hi Din Yuhi Kat Gai, Haye..
My beloved, so many days have passed just like this, alas.

Bhuri-Bhuri Aankhein Jise Dekho Maar Dale
Those beautiful brown eyes could slay anyone who looks at them.

Mujhe Bhi Dekho Nazar Bhar Ke, Haye..
Look at me too, to your heart’s content, alas.

Jaan Ja Rahi Ho Par Tu Saamne Jo Mere
Even as my life slips away, when you stand before me,

Dil Dekhe Tujhe Ruk-Ruk Ke, Haye..
My heart gazes at you again and again, faltering with every beat.

Yeh Mehndi Mere Naam Ki, Hatheliyon Pe Teri
May the henna bearing my name adorn your palms.

Ho Khudaya Aesa Kuch Karde, Haye..
Oh God, please make something like this happen.

Sab Haar Baitha Teri Chand Baliyon Ke Sadke
I’ve surrendered everything for the sake of your beautiful crescent-shaped earrings.

Teri Misal Nusrat Ki Qawwali Mai Darj Hai
Your beauty is immortalized in a qawwali like those sung by Nusrat.

Main Mamuli Sa Shayar Teri Taarefei Karu
I’m just an ordinary poet, trying to sing your praises.

Tu Meri Shayari Pe Bajne Wali Taaliyon Se Badh Ke
But you are worth far more than the applause my poetry receives.

Mujhe Zarurat Teri Jaise Raat Ko Subh Ki
I need you the way the night needs the morning.

Jaise Baat Ko Zuba Ki, Bande Zaat Ko Khuda Ki
Just as words need a tongue, and a human being needs God.

Tu Khwab Mera Chahu, Apne Khwab Ko Main Paalu
You are my dream, and I wish to make that dream come true.

Tu Zarurat Meri Jaise Uthte Hath Ko Dua Ki
I need you the way raised hands need a prayer.

Mere Sajdo Mein Shamil Aur Namazo Mein Bhi
You are present in my prostrations and in my prayers.

Mere Gunaah Mein Shamil Tu Mere Sharab Mein Bhi
You are part of my sins and even in my wine.

Aur Jab Sharab Banke Utre Mere Jism Mein Tu
And when you enter my body like wine,

Har Zarra-Zarra Tera Mera Kuch Bacha Hi Nahin
Every particle of me becomes yours; nothing remains of my own.

Le Jaan-E-Jaan Tera Hua Jee Chahe Waise Kharch De
Here, my beloved, I am yours; spend me however you wish.

Dard-E-Dawa Har Dard Ki Jee Bhar Ke Phir Se Mujhe Dard De
Be both the pain and its cure; give me all the pain you wish, to your heart’s content.

Kar Zalima Ek Aur Dafa Barbad Par Is Shart Pe
Destroy me once more, you cruel one, but on this one condition:

Tere Hijr-E-Gham Se Na Mare Toh Maar Dena Mujhe Haske
If I don’t die from the sorrow of being separated from you, then kill me with a smile.
