Kab Tak Chup Baithe — Hindi Lyrics with English Translation

Kab tak chup baithe
How long can we sit here in silence?

Ab toh kuch hai bolna
It’s time we said something.


Kab tak chup baithe
How long can we sit here in silence?

Ab toh kuch hai bolna
It’s time we said something.

Kuch tum bolo
You say something,

Kuch hum bole, O dholna
And I’ll say something too, my beloved.

Mar jaana tha, yeh bhed nahi tha kholna
I’d rather die than reveal this secret.

O dholna … O dholna
Oh, my beloved … oh, my beloved.

Kab tak chup baithe
How long can we sit here in silence?

Ab toh kuch hai bolna
It’s time we said something.


Do chaar kadam pe tum the
You were just a few steps away.

Do chaar kadam pe hum the
And I was just a few steps away, too.

Do chaar kadam pe tum the
You were just a few steps away.

Do chaar kadam pe hum the
And I was just a few steps away, too.

Phir uspe kadam kadam pe dil ka dholna
And on top of that, my heart kept pounding with every step.

Haai dholna … O dholna
Oh, my beloved … oh, my beloved.


Kab tak chup baithe
How long can we sit here in silence?

Ab toh kuch hai bolna
It’s time we said something.

Kuch tum bolo
You say something,

Kuch hum bole, O dholna
And I’ll say something too, my beloved.


Aaya hai aaj labon pe
At last, today, these words have reached my lips,

Yeh pyar badi mushkil se
This love I’ve struggled so hard to express.


Kab tak chup baithe
How long can we sit here in silence?

Ab toh kuch hai bolna
It’s time we said something.

Kuch tum bolo
You say something,

Kuch hum bole, O dholna
And I’ll say something too, my beloved.

Mar jaana tha, yeh bhed nahi tha kholna
I’d rather die than reveal this secret.

O dholna … O dholna
Oh, my beloved … oh, my beloved.
