Bholi Si Surat Aankhon Mein Masti (English Lyrics)
Bholi si surat
An innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti, aye haai
Mischief in her eyes, oh my!
Arre bholi si surat
Oh, that innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti
That playful look in her eyes
Door khadi sharmaye, aye haai
She stands at a distance, blushing, oh my!
Ek jhalak dikhlaye kabhi
Sometimes she gives me a fleeting glimpse
Kabhi aanchal mein chup jaye, aye haai
Sometimes she hides behind her veil, oh my!
Meri nazar se tum dekho toh
If only you could see her through my eyes
Yaar nazar woh aaye
You’d see her as my beloved
Bholi si surat
An innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti
Mischief in her eyes
Door khadi sharmaye, aye haai
She stands at a distance, blushing, oh my!
Ek jhalak dikhlaye kabhi
Sometimes she gives me a fleeting glimpse
Kabhi aanchal mein chup jaye, aye haai
Sometimes she hides behind her veil, oh my!
Meri nazar se tum dekho toh
If only you could see her through my eyes
Yaar nazar woh aaye
You’d see her as my beloved
Bholi si surat
An innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti, aye haai
Mischief in her eyes, oh my!
Hmmm … la la la
Hmmm … la la la
Aa aa aa … la la la
Aa aa aa … la la la
Aa aa aa … la la la
Aa aa aa … la la la
Ladki nahin hai, woh jaadu hai
She’s no ordinary girl; she’s pure magic
Aur kaha kya jaye
What more can I say?
Raat ko mere khwaab mein aayi
She came to me in a dream last night
Woh zulfein bikhraye
With her long hair flowing loose
Aankh khuli toh dil chaha
When I opened my eyes, my heart wished
Phir neend mujhe aa jaye
That I could fall asleep again
Bin dekhe yeh haal hua
If this is how I feel without seeing her
Dekhoon toh kya ho jaye
Imagine what might happen if I actually saw her!
Bholi si surat
An innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti
Mischief in her eyes
Door khadi sharmaye, aye haai
She stands at a distance, blushing, oh my!
Ek jhalak dikhlaye kabhi
Sometimes she gives me a fleeting glimpse
Kabhi aanchal mein chup jaye, aye haai
Sometimes she hides behind her veil, oh my!
Meri nazar se tum dekho toh
If only you could see her through my eyes
Yaar nazar woh aaye
You’d see her as my beloved
Bholi si surat
An innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti, aye haai
Mischief in her eyes, oh my!
La la la … la la la … la la la
La la la … la la la … la la la
La la la … o o o … aa ha ha aa
La la la … o o o … aa ha ha aa
Aa aa aa … la la la
Aa aa aa … la la la
Saawan ka pehla badal
The first cloud of the monsoon
Uska kajal ban jaye
Could become the kohl around her eyes
Mauj uthe sagar mein jaise
Just as waves rise and swell in the sea
Aaise kadam uthaye
That’s how she moves with every step
Rab ne jaane kis mitti se
God knows what kind of clay
Uske ang banaye
Was used to shape her beautiful form
Cham se kaash kahin se mere
Oh, if only, in a flash, from somewhere
Saamne woh aa jaye
She would suddenly appear before me
Bholi si surat
An innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti
Mischief in her eyes
Door khadi sharmaye, aye haai
She stands at a distance, blushing, oh my!
Ek jhalak dikhlaye kabhi
Sometimes she gives me a fleeting glimpse
Kabhi aanchal mein chup jaye, aye haai
Sometimes she hides behind her veil, oh my!
Meri nazar se tum dekho toh
If only you could see her through my eyes
Yaar nazar woh aaye
You’d see her as my beloved
Bholi si surat
An innocent-looking face
Aankhon mein masti
Mischief in her eyes
Door khadi sharmaye, aye haai
She stands at a distance, blushing, oh my!
Aye haai!
Oh my!
Aye haai!
Oh my!
