Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen English Lyrics
Yeh kaali kaali aankhen
These beautiful dark eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh gore gore gaal
These lovely fair cheeks
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazrein
These captivating eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
This graceful, deer-like walk
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh kaali kaali aankhen
These beautiful dark eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh gore gore gaal
These lovely fair cheeks
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazrein
These captivating eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
This graceful, deer-like walk
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Dekha joh tujhe jaanam
Ever since I saw you, my love
Hua hai bura haal
I’ve been completely lovestruck
Yeh kaali kaali aankhen
These beautiful dark eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh gore gore gaal
These lovely fair cheeks
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazrein
These captivating eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
This graceful, deer-like walk
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Main mila, tu mili
I met you, and you met me
Hey tu mili, main mila
Hey, you met me, and I met you
Main mila, tu mili
I met you, and you met me
Tu mili, main mila
You met me, and I met you
Duniya jale toh jale
Let the world burn with envy
Pyar karenge tujhpe marenge
I’ll love you and devote my life to you
Dhak dhak dil yeh kare
My heart goes pitter-patter
Uff teri dillagi
Oh, your playful ways of love
Dil ko jalane lagi
Have started to torment my heart
Dilruba tu mujhe
My darling, you
Nakhre dikhane lagi
Have started showing me your charming tantrums
Chhodo ji chhodo sanam
Come on, let it go, my love
Zid apni chhodo sanam
Give up your stubbornness, my love
Nazuk hai dil yeh mera
My heart is delicate
Dil ko na todo sanam
Please don’t break my heart, my love
Dil ko na todo sanam
Please don’t break my heart, my love
Yeh lambi lambi raatein
These long, long nights
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Aa karle mulaqatein
Come, let’s meet
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Jaane kyun dil yeh mera
I don’t know why my heart
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tera hi hona chahe
Wants to belong only to you
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Gusse mein laal na kar
Don’t let these cheeks turn red with anger
Yeh gore gore gaal
These lovely fair cheeks
Yeh kaali kaali aankhen
These beautiful dark eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh gore gore gaal
These lovely fair cheeks
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazrein
These captivating eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
This graceful, deer-like walk
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Na tu kar khatpat
Don’t keep arguing with me
Kar pyar jhatpat
Come, fall in love with me quickly
Mere aaja tu nikat
Come closer to me
Kaate pyar ka ticket
Let’s get our ticket to love
Na tu zulfein jhatak
Don’t toss your hair around
Na tu pair patak
Don’t stamp your feet
Arre aise na matak
Oh, don’t sway like that
Dil gaya hai bhatak
My heart has lost its way
Chehre pe tere sanam
On your face, my love
Laila ki hai shokhiyan
There is the charm of Laila
Heer se badhke hai
It’s even more enchanting than Heer
Aankhon ki yeh mastiyan
The playful allure of your eyes
Juliet ki tarah
Like Juliet
Honthon pe hai surkhiyan
Your lips are beautifully red
Dekh le khud ko tu
Look at yourself
Nazar se meri jaan-e-jaan
Through my eyes, my love
Dekhi joh teri ada
When I saw your graceful charm
Main fida ho gaya
I fell completely for you
Seene se lag ja zara
Come and hold me close
Jeene ka aaye maza
Then life will feel wonderful
Jeene ka aaye maza
Then life will feel wonderful
Yeh bikhri bikhri zulfein
These tousled, flowing tresses
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh jhuki jhuki palkein
These lowered, beautiful eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh gori gori baahen
These lovely fair arms
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Hum kyun na tumhe chahen
How could I not fall for you?
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Aisa toh humne pehle
We’ve never seen
Dekha nahi kamaal
Anything this wonderful before
Yeh kaali kaali aankhen
These beautiful dark eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh gore gore gaal
These lovely fair cheeks
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazrein
These captivating eyes
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
This graceful, deer-like walk
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
Tu ru ru … tu ru ru
