Behka Lyrics English Translation – Ghajini | Meaning & Explained
Behka main behka,
I’m intoxicated, lost in a daze;
woh behki hawa si aayi
she arrived like a mesmerizing breeze.
Ek hi nazar mein sab manzil-wanzil paayi
With just one glance, I found my destination.
Hatke alag si thi, bilkul juda si
She was different, unlike anyone else.
Na hi adaayein, na koi angdaai
Neither was it just her charm, nor any deliberate grace.
Behka behka main behka behka
I’m intoxicated, completely lost.
Mehka mehka yeh mann hai mehka
My heart has become filled with fragrance.
Dhadkan dhak-dhak-dhak-dhak hui
My heartbeat began racing.
Dil tha-tha-tha-tha-thayee
My heart began to dance with excitement.
Chaal dagmag-dagmag hui
My steps became unsteady.
Jhoomoon main jhamak jhamajham
I began swaying and dancing joyfully.
Raasta takoon, takoon, takoon main
I keep waiting and watching the path.
Pal-pal jagoon, jagoon main
I remain awake every moment.
Baar-baar badal karwat usko sochoon main
I keep turning restlessly and thinking about her again and again.
Guzre jahaan se woh raunak udaaye
Wherever she passes, she spreads brightness and beauty.
Chhalke nadi si woh mujhko bhigoti jaaye
Like a flowing river, she overflows and drenches me.
Woh gungunaaye, nageene lutaaye
When she hums, she showers precious melodies.
Khatta sa bachpan, meethi shararat
A little bit of a mischievous childhood, with sweet innocence.
Thoda resham hai, thodi nazakat
A little softness like silk, a little elegance.
Kabhi sharmaaye, kabhi lehraaye
Sometimes she blushes, sometimes she sways.
Us mein saahil hai aur jaane kitni gehraai
She has a shore within her, and depths no one can measure.
Uski boli jaise phoolon ki toli
Her words are like a gathering of flowers.
Uska chalna, rituen badalna
Her walk is like the changing of seasons.
Jhooth bhi uske sachche lage, achchhe lage
Even her lies feel truthful and beautiful.
Sach se bhi bade lage
They seem greater than the truth itself.
Raahon mein uski haath baandhe, palkein bichhaaye
Along her path, I stand with folded hands, waiting with devotion.
Hue khushbuon se chaaye hue, tak-taki lagaaye
Surrounded by fragrances, I keep gazing at her.
Hue saath-saath jaane kitne saare mausam khade rahein
It feels as though countless seasons stand together beside me.
Behka main behka, woh behki hawa si aayi
I’m intoxicated; she came like an enchanting breeze.
Ek hi nazar mein sab manzil-wanzil paayi
With one glance, I found everything I was searching for.
Hatke alag si thi, woh bilkul juda si
She was unique, completely unlike anyone else.
Na hi adaayein, na koi angdaai
It wasn’t just her charm or her graceful ways.
Behka main, o behka behka main…
I’m intoxicated… completely lost in this feeling.
