English Translation
|
| Tirkit taal se lo chali kahani |
The story begins on a beat of percussion |
| Panghat kaal se lo chali kahani |
The story begins from the old times |
| Sarpat daudti hai fakt zubaani |
It runs uninhibited on just words |
| Chhut-put aashiqui mein dhali kahani |
The story was based on small love tales |
| Angin saal se hai wohi purani |
Since many years it's the same old one |
| Tere mere ishq ki yeh nayi kahani |
This new story is on our love |
| Aati kahan se yeh |
From where does it come |
| Jaati kahan kya pata |
Who knows where does it go |
|
|
| Yeh Chenab ka dariya hai |
It's the river Chenab |
| Yeh ishq se bharya |
It's full of love |
| Woh leharon pe balkhati |
Dancing on the waves |
| Mahiwal se milne jaati |
She used to go to meet Mahiwal |
| Woh naam ki Sohni bhi thi |
Even her name was Sohni |
| Mahiwal ki honi bhi thi |
And she was going to be of Mahiwal |
| Lekin bhay Kans ka tha usko ... toh phir |
But she was afraid of Kans ... then |
| Vasudeva ne Kanha ko ... lekar |
Vasudev took Lord Krishna ... he took |
| Jamuna se paar langaya |
And crossed river Yamuna |
| Dariya se |
From the river |
| Toh Firaun ki behna ne phir |
Firaun's sister then |
| Musa uthaya |
Picked up Musa |

| Chali kahani, chali kahani |
The story moved on, the story moved on |
| Chali kahani, chali kahani |
The story moved on, the story moved on |
| Chali kahani, chali kahani |
The story moved on, the story moved on |
| Chali kahani |
The story moved on |
| Chali kahani, chali kahani |
The story moved on, the story moved on |
| Chali kahani, chali kahani |
The story moved on, the story moved on |
| Chali kahani, chali kahani |
The story moved on, the story moved on |
| Chali kahani re |
The story moved on |

| Birha ka dukh kahe ho baankiye |
Why should there be sorrow of separation |
| Dikhe mohe tu hi jiya mein joh jhaankiye |
I only see you if I look inside my heart |
| Pal pal ginti hoon aathon hi pahar |
Every moment I count all eight divisions |
| Kitne baras hue mohe haan kiye |
Many years have passed since I said yes |
| Naina nihaaro more bhor se jhare |
Look at my eyes flowing since morning |
| Preet mori piya baaton se na aankiye |
Don't assess my love from my words |
| Main hi mar jaun ya mare dooriyan |
Either me or these distances should die |
| Dooriyon ki chadaron pe yaadein taankiye |
Sew memories on the sheets of distances |
|
|
| Woh utha virodhi parcham |
A flag rose in rebellion |
| Mughal-e-azam ko tha yeh gham |
King Akbar was sad because |
| Shehzada mohabbat karke |
The prince falling in love |
| Izzat ka karega kachra bhasam |
Would ruin his honour |
| Troja ki thi Helen |
It was the Helen of Troy |
| Tha ek mee rakhsha mein Ravan |
Ravana was in so much safety |
| Antat bhishan yudham krandan |
In the end there was a big war and tears |
| Mera toh Ranjhan Mahi |
Ranjha is my beloved |
| Ranjhan, Ranjhan |
O Ranjha, O Ranjha |
|
