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
