Dil tujhe dhadakte huye
Heart, you’re beating
Maine suna hai pehli baar
I’ve heard it for the very first time
Sansani ajab hai kahi
This sensation is strange/new to me
Yeh kiya hua hai pehli baar
What is this that’s happening for the first time

Tu asman pe yuhi urdta jaye
You flew into the sky at a whim
Tujhko zameen pe kaise koi laye
How can someone bring you back down to Earth

Ae dil bata re dhoondta hai kya re
My heart tell me, what are you looking for
Tham ja zara hathon se naa jaa
Calm down a little, don’t leave from my hands
Tu jo chala re rasta niya re
Where you’re heading, the path is new
Khoya jo tu ho ga mera kiya
If I lose you, what will become of me?

Ae dil bata re dhoondta hai kya re
My heart tell me, what are you looking for
Tham ja zara hathon se naa jaa
Calm down a little, don’t leave from my hands
Tu jo chala re rasta niya re
Where you’re heading, the path is new
Khoya jo tu ho ga mera kiya
If I lose you, what will become of me?

Na rahye adhi adhuri
To not stay half-incomplete
Mana ke hai zaroori zindagi mein koi aye
It’s necessary to accept someone into your life
Pyar mein kafir ho jaaye dil to beghar ho jaye
If you stop believing in love, your heart will become homeless/displaced

Ishq aaye dard laaye
Love comes and brings pain with it
Honton pe aaye na kaise kare bayan
The words don’t come to my lips, how do I say this
Haal-e-dil yahaan
My whole heart is here

Wo pas ake aise murta jaaye
He/It comes near then suddenly turns and leaves
Jaise barse bina badal tarsaye
Passes by like a cloud without rain

Ae dil bata re dhoondta hai kya re
My heart tell me, what are you looking for
Tham ja zara hathon se naa jaa
Calm down a little, don’t leave from my hands
Tu jo chala re rasta niya re
Where you’re heading, the path is new
Khoya jo tu ho ga mera kiya
If I lose you, what will become of me?

Ho bhi jaye koi razi
Even if someone is willing
Jo khele pyar ki bazi
Those who play out the course of love
Jeet ke bhi haar jaaye
Lose even when they win

Khail hai ye deewano ka
It’s the game of the love struck
Bechare nadanoo ka
The pitiable, naive ones
Koun aisi raah jaaye
Who would go down this path
 
Na jaa khayalon mein
Don’t go into these thoughts
Uljhe sawalon mein
These embarrassing/tangled questions
Yoon na dil laga
Don’t set your heart like this

Kaisa nasha hai ye jo chardta jaaye
Oh what a sign this is, that it keeps getting higher
Ye bekhudi ka alam bhardta jaye
This time of selflessness keeps growing

Ae dil bata re dhoondta hai kya re
My heart tell me, what are you looking for
Tham ja zara hathon se naa jaa
Calm down a little, don’t leave from my hands
Tu jo chala re rasta niya re
Where you’re heading, the path is new
Khoya jo tu ho ga mera kiya
If I lose you, what will become of me?

Ae dil bata re dhoondta hai kya re
My heart tell me, what are you looking for
Tham ja zara hathon se naa jaa
Calm down a little, don’t leave from my hands
Tu jo chala re rasta niya re
Where you’re heading, the path is new
Khoya jo tu ho ga mera kiya
If I lose you, what will become of me?
