Translation of a Song By Gulzar


Tujhse Naaraaz Nahiin Zindagi
Hairaan Hoon Main
O Hairaan Huun Main
Tere Masum Sawaalon Se Pareshaan Hoon Main


O Pareshaan Hoon Main

Life, you don’t upset me,
But you do astonish me.
Your blatant questions do disturb me

Here I am, all disturbed.


Jeene Ke Liye Sochaa Hi Nahi
Dard Sambhaalane Honge

Never did I believe,
That life would mean to nurture pain.

Muskuraaye To, Muskuraane Ke Karz Utarne Honge
Muskuraauun Kabhii To Lagataa Hai
Jaise Honthon Pe Karz Rakhaa Hai

Smile, I have to pay a pound of me for each smile
Smile, when smile touches my lips,
I know it’s a mortgage settled there forever
