jo chāhte ho so kehte ho, chup rehne kī lazzat kyā jaano?
whatever it is you want, you just say. what would you know of the satisfaction of being silent?
ye rāz-e-mohabbat hai pyāre, tum rāz-e-mohabbat kyā jaano?
these are the secrets of love, my dear, what would you know about the secrets of love?
alfāz kahāñ se laūñ mein, chhāle kī tapak samjhāne ko
from where shall i bring the words, to describe the feeling of a mouth sore
izhār-e-mohabbat karte ho, ehsās-e-mohabbat kyā jaano
you just make declarations of love, what would you know about the feeling of love?
kyā husn kī bhiik bhī hotī hai, jab chuTkī chuTkī juḌtī hai
are these still the alms of your beloved, even when they’re joined bit by bit
ham ahl-e-ġharaz jāneñ is ko tum sāhib-e-daulat kyā jaano
we chosen few know about this, what would you know of this great wealth?
hai farq baḌā ai jān-e-Razā, dil dene meñ dil lene meñ
there’s a huge difference, oh Raza, between giving a heart and receiving a heart
ulfat kā ta.alluq jaanke bhī, rishte kī nazākat kyā jaano
knowing the relations of love, what would you know of the loveliness of a relationship?
ye rāz-e-mohabbat hai pyāre, tum rāz-e-mohabbat kyā jaano?
these are the secrets of love, my dear, what would you know about the secrets of love?
