Gulabo
Rose


Kyu Tu Lagti Mujhko Gulabo Si
Why do you feel like a rose to me
Kaato Ke Tu Beech Mein Dushman Si
Yet among the thorns you stand like a foe
Dil Noch Ke Mera Kaanto Se Gulabo Bhagi Bhagi
After clawing my heart, O rose, you fled through the thorns
Gulabo Gulabo Gulabo Bhagi BhagiBhagi Bhagi
Rose, rose, rose—fleeing, fleeing, fleeing


She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
She said justify my love as if I knew you
As If I Did Know You No
As if I ever really knew you—no
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
She said justify my love as if I loved you
As If I Didn’t Try Though
As if I never even tried


Gulabo Main Bhavra Baitha Kaanto Pe Tere
O rose, I, a bumblebee, perched on your thorns
Par Tu Chubhti Nahi Kyu Inn Pavas Mahino Mei
Yet in these monsoon months why don’t you sting
Jhoote Raso Sai Bhari Apni Gulabo Toh Fir
Filled with false nectar, my rose, then
Sunle Mithay Ke Pyase Teekhi 2 Baatein
Hear two sharp words from one thirsty for sweetness


Woh Chakh Leti Do Rishte
She tastes two relationships
Jhoote Bass Bachte Wade
Only false promises survive
Gulab Ki Pankhudi Mein
Inside the rose-petal
Jhooti Rasmo Ki Baatein
Lie the talks of hollow rituals


Woh Kar Leti Hai Kabhi Kabaar Haan
She does it once in a while, yes
Kabhi Kabaar Haan Mujhse
Once in a while, yes, with me
Main Jaanta Hoon Sach Uska Toh
I know her truth, so
Tabhi Gulabo Na Chubhe Mujhko
That’s why the rose no longer pricks me
Gulabo Gulabo Gulabo
Rose, rose, rose


She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
She said justify my love as if I knew you
As If I Did Know You No
As if I ever really knew you—no
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
She said justify my love as if I loved you
As If I Didn’t Try Though
As if I never even tried


Gulabo Main Bhavra Jaanu Tere Kuch Raazon Ko
O rose, I a bee, know some of your secrets
Tu Jitni Lage Komal Si Lagti Utni Tu Kainchi Kyu
Though you seem soft, why are you as sharp as scissors
Haan Jaisi Si Hai Tu Mujhko Utni Lubhati Tu
Yes, exactly as you are, you allure me
Toh Kaat De Humko Bhi Ye Rishte Naa Laazmi
Then cut these ties for us too—no necessity remains


She Said Ki Main Pagal Ho Raha Hoon
She said, “I’m going insane”
Mai Deewaana Ho Gaya Hoon
“I’ve become crazy”
Khud Ko Khud Mein Kho Raha Hoon Main
“I’m losing myself inside myself”


I Said Jaana Nahi Ki Tu Khush Ab Nahi
I said, “I don’t know that you’re unhappy now”
Mai Janta Nahi Ki Tu Khush Kab Thi
“I don’t know when you were ever happy”
Mai Maanta Nahi Ki Tu Dushman Thi Par
“I don’t accept that you were an enemy, yet—”


But I Know Tujhe Kho Ke
But I know that by losing you
Kara Khudko Haasil
I attained myself
Tujhe Kho Ke Hi Bana Tere Kabil
Only by losing you did I become worthy of you


Ab Ni Chahta Ki
Now I don’t wish
Mile Mujhe Vapis
To have you back
But I Know I Know
But I know, I know
Ki Tu Yahpe Nahi Hai
That you are not here
Mere Kaabil Nahi Hai
You are not worthy of me


Aisi Bahot Saree Baate
So many such things
Jinse Waqif Nahi Hai
Of which you are unaware
Kaisi Saazish Rachi Ki
What a conspiracy was woven that
Ho Ab Baarish Rahi Hai
Now it keeps on raining
Ab Manata Tyohar Ho
I celebrate festivals now
Par Tu Shamil Nahi Hai
But you are not part of them


She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
She said justify my love as if I knew you
As If I Did Know You No
As if I ever really knew you—no
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
She said justify my love as if I loved you
As If I Didn’t Try Though
As if I never even tried


Aaj kal Kehta Nahi Par
These days I don’t say it, yet
Aati Ghin Hai Tujhse
I feel disgust for you
Nazar Na Lag Jaaye Toh
Lest an evil eye be cast, so
Chup Sa Rehta Hoon
I stay quietly silent


Kahin Kho Na Doon Is Ghinonepan Ko Mai
I might lose this very disgust somewhere
Waise Toh Tumko Bhi Mai Kho Chuka Hoon
Anyway, I’ve already lost you
Par Seekha Bhi Khone Ko Maine Khona
But I also learned the art of losing by losing
Toh Kya Hi Khoya Maine .
So what exactly did I lose?


Tumhara Ho Kar Bhi Na Hona
Being yours yet never truly yours
Hoke Sath Mein Rona
Together weeping side by side
Dilkush Andheri Woh Raathein
Those heart-captivating dark nights
Ban Jaata Main Tera Khilona
I would become your plaything


Kho Gaya Hoon Main Kho Gaya Hoon
I am lost, I am lost
Gulabo Gulabo Gulabo
Rose, rose, rose
Gulabo

Kyu Tu Lagti Mujhko Gulabo Si
Kaato Ke Tu Beech Mein Dushman Si
Dil Noch Ke Mera Kaanto Se Gulabo Bhagi Bhagi
Gulabo Gulabo Gulabo Bhagi BhagiBhagi Bhagi

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
As If I Did Know You No
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
As If I Didn’t Try Though

Gulabo Main Bhavra Baitha Kaanto Pe Tere
Par Tu Chubhti Nahi Kyu Inn Pavas Mahino Mei
Jhoote Raso Sai Bhari Apni Gulabo Toh Fir

Kabhi Kabaar Haan Mujhse

Tabhi Gulabo Na Chubhe Mujhko

As If I Did Know You No
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You

Kho Gaya Hoon Main Kho Gaya Hoon
Gulabo Gulabo Gulabo
गुलाबो

क्यूँ तू लगती मुझको गुलाबो सी
काँटों के तू बीच में दुश्मन सी
दिल नोच के मेरा काँटों से गुलाबो भागी भागी
गुलाबो गुलाबो गुलाबो भागी भागी भागी भागी

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
As If I Did Know You No
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
As If I Didn’t Try Though

गुलाबो मैं भँवरा बैठा काँटों पे तेरे
पर तू चुभती नहीं क्यों इन पावस महीनों में
झूठे रसों से भरी अपनी गुलाबो तो फिर
सुन ले मीठे के प्यासे तीखी दो बातें

वो चख लेती दो रिश्ते
झूठे बस बचते वादे
गुलाब की पंखुड़ी में
झूठी रस्मों की बातें

वो कर लेती है कभी कभार हाँ
कभी कभार हाँ मुझसे
मैं जानता हूँ सच उसका तो
तभी गुलाबो ना चुभे मुझको
गुलाबो गुलाबो गुलाबो

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
As If I Did Know You No
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
As If I Didn’t Try Though

गुलाबो मैं भँवरा जानूँ तेरे कुछ राज़ों को
तू जितनी लगे कोमल सी लगती उतनी तू कैंची क्यों
हाँ जैसी सी है तू मुझको उतनी लुभाती तू
तो काट दे हमको भी ये रिश्ते ना लाज़मी

She Said कि मैं पागल हो रहा हूँ
मैं दीवाना हो गया हूँ
खुद को खुद में खो रहा हूँ मैं

I Said जाना नहीं कि तू खुश अब नहीं
मैं जानता नहीं कि तू खुश कब थी
मैं मानता नहीं कि तू दुश्मन थी पर

But I Know तुझे खो के
किया खुद को हासिल
तुझे खो के ही बना तेरे काबिल

अब नहीं चाहता कि
मिले मुझे वापस
But I Know I Know
कि तू यहाँ पे नहीं है
मेरे काबिल नहीं है

ऐसी बहुत सारी बातें
जिनसे वाक़िफ़ नहीं है
कैसी साज़िश रची कि
हो अब बारिश रही है
अब मनाता त्योहार हो
पर तू शामिल नहीं है

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
As If I Did Know You No
She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
As If I Didn’t Try Though

आजकल कहता नहीं पर
आती घिन है तुझसे
नज़र ना लग जाए तो
चुप सा रहता हूँ

कहीं खो ना दूँ इस घिनौनापन को मैं
वैसे तो तुमको भी मैं खो चुका हूँ
पर सीखा भी खोने को मैंने
खोना तो क्या ही खोया मैंने

तुम्हारा होकर भी ना होना
होके साथ में रोना
दिलकश अंधेरी वो रातें
बन जाता मैं तेरा खिलौना

खो गया हूँ मैं खो गया हूँ
गुलाबो गुलाबो गुलाबो
