Ek Ajnabee Haseena Se Lyrics English Translation – Ajnabee
Ek ajnabi haseenaa se yoon mulaaqaat ho gayi
I happened to meet a beautiful stranger (girl).
Phir kyaa huaa ye naa poochho
what happened after that, don’t ask,
Kuchh aisi baat ho gayi
because some such thing happened (that I can’t tell).
Wo achaanak aa gayi yoon nazar ke saamne
She came all of a sudden in front of my eyes,
Jaise nikal aayaa ghaTaa se chaand
as if the moon coming out of the clouds.
Chehre pe zulfen bikhri huyi thin
Her hair was spread on her face,
Din mein raat ho gayi
as if night had fallen in the day itself…
Ek ajnabi haseenaa se yoon mulaaqaat ho gayi
I happened to meet a beautiful stranger (girl).
Jaan-e-man jaan-e-jigar
“O life of my heart, O my beloved,
Hotaa main shaayar agar
had I been a poet,
Kahtaa ghazal teri adaaon par
I’d have said a ghazal on your styles”
Maine ye kahaa to mujhse khafaa wo
when I said this, that life of my life
Jaan-e-hayaat ho gayi
became angry with me…
Ek ajnabi haseenaa se
yoon mulaaqaat ho gayi.
Khoobsoorat baat ye chaar pal kaa saath ye
this beautiful thing,this togetherness of a few moments,
Saari umar mujhko rahegaa yaad main akelaa thaa magar
I’ll remember it all my life. I was alone,
Ban gayi wo hamsafar wo mere saath ho gayi
But she became a companion, and joined me…
Ek ajnabi haseenaa se yoon mulaaqaat ho gayi
I happened to meet a beautiful stranger (girl).
