Chhoti Chhoti Raatein lyrics English translation
Chhoti chhoti raatein
The little nights
Lambi ho jaati hai
Slowly stretch into endless nights
Chhoti chhoti raatein
The little nights
Lambi ho jaati hai
Slowly stretch into endless nights
Baithe bithaye yoon hi
Just like that, for no reason
Neendein kho jaati hai
Sleep quietly slips away
Dil mein bechaini
Restlessness fills the heart
Aankhon mein intezar hota hai
And eyes begin to wait for someone
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyar hota hai
When someone falls in love
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyar hota hai
When someone falls in love
Chhoti chhoti raatein
The little nights
Lambi ho jaati hai
Turn into long, sleepless nights
Baithe bithaye yoon hi
Out of nowhere
Neendein kho jaati hai
Sleep disappears
Dil mein bechaini
A strange restlessness grows inside
Aankhon mein intezar hota hai
And eyes start waiting endlessly
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyar hota hai
When someone falls in love
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyar hota hai
When someone falls in love
Chhoti chhoti raatein
The little nights
Lambi ho jaati hai
Turn into long, sleepless nights
Deewano si halat hai apni
I’ve become like someone lost in madness of love
Poocho na kya chahat hai apni
Don’t even ask what I desire anymore
Thaam li maine teri yeh baahen
I’ve held onto your arms
In baahon mein jannat hai apni
In them, I’ve found my heaven
Phool sa khilke mehka hai yeh dil
My heart blooms and fills with fragrance
Phir tujhe chhuke behka hai yeh dil
And after touching you, it loses itself again
Dil ka kya hai
What can you even say about the heart
Yeh toh harpal bekaraar hota hai
It stays restless every moment
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyar hota hai
When someone falls in love
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyar hota hai
When someone falls in love
Chhoti chhoti raatein
The little nights
Lambi ho jaati hai
Turn into long, sleepless nights
Panchhi banke udhta hai yeh dil
My heart feels like a bird in flight
Milti hai jab sapno ki manzil
When it reaches its dream destination
Sapne toh phir sapne hote hai
But dreams are just dreams
Sach hai yeh kab apne hote hai
They don’t always become reality
Jaagti aankhen dekha kare sapna
Even awake, I keep dreaming
Jab koi dil ko lagta hai apna
When someone feels like my own
Na dil pe kaabu
I have no control over my heart
Na khud pe ikhtiyar hota hai
No control over myself either
Jab kisi ko kisi se pyar hota hai
When someone falls in love
La la la… la la la
La la la… la la la
