Jalpari Lyrics English Translation – Faheem Abdullah

Main Ik Shikara, Tum Wo Jalpari
I am a small boat, and you are that mermaid.

Duba To Main Tumhara, Paar Chala To Haara Main
If I drown, I am yours; if I reach the shore, I still lose.

Behta Hua Ye Pani Main Aur Ye Kinara Main
I am this flowing water, and I am this shore as well.

Mohabbat Mein Teri Kar Lete Hai Guzara Ye
In your love, I somehow spend my days.

Behta Hua Ye Pani Main Aur Ye Kinara Main
I am this flowing water, and I am this shore as well.

Mohabbat Mein Teri Kar Lete Hai Guzara Ye
In your love, I somehow spend my days.

Jo Chal Ke Aai Hai Bahar Haina Tu
You are the spring that has walked into my life, aren’t you?

Mere Dil Ka Karar Haina Tu
You are the peace of my heart, aren’t you?

Bujh Ke Jalta Vo Khaab Haina Tu
You are that dream which burns even after being extinguished, aren’t you?

Sunta Pukar Meri Sada Haina Tu
You are the one who hears my call, aren’t you?

Chali Gayi Mujhse Keh Ke Yahi, Mujhe Tu Bhulana Nahi
You left me saying only this — don’t forget me.

Tanhayee Sahi Teri Yaadein Rahi, Par Main Tujhko Bhoola Nahi
Loneliness remained, your memories stayed, but I never forgot you.

Tu Hai Kahi Na Jane Kaha, Dhoondha Tujhe Dono Jaha
You are somewhere, I don’t know where — I searched for you in both worlds.

Bhula Ke Mujhe Rula Ke Mujhe, Jane Kaha Meri Jaan
You forgot me, you made me cry — who knows where you are, my love.

Jo Chal Ke Aayi Hai Bahar Haina Tu
You are the spring that has walked into my life, aren’t you?

Mere Dil Ka Karar Haina Tu
You are the peace of my heart, aren’t you?

Bujh Ke Jalta Vo Khaab Haina Tu
You are that dream which burns even after being extinguished, aren’t you?

Sunta Pukar Meri Sada Haina Tu
You are the one who hears my call, aren’t you?
