Jhalliya Lyrics - Javed Bashir | Masooma Anwar & Shahzad Nawaz

Jhalliya (x4)
O foolish one
Bulleh Shah zahr wekh ke peeta te kee peeta
‘ishq soch ke keeta te keeh keeta
Dil de ke dil lain di aas rakhi
Ve buleya pyaar eho jiha keeta te keeh keeta
Bulleh Shah, what’s the point of taking poison, yet fearing its ingredients?
What’s the point of falling in love, yet fearing its consequences?
If you give your heart in the hope that your love may be returned
What’s the point then, Bulleh Shah, of giving your heart at all?
Jhalliya ‘ishq kamauna aukha
Kise noon yaar banauna aukha
Jhalliya ‘ishq kamauna aukha
Kise noon yaar banauna aukha
O foolish one, love is a difficult task
To make someone your true beloved is a difficult task
O foolish one, love is a difficult task
To make someone your true beloved is a difficult task
Pyaar pyaar te har koyi aakhe
Kar ke pyaar nibhauna aukha
Har koi dukkhaan te hass lainda
Kise da dard wanḍaauna aukha
Anyone can babble on about love
But to fulfill love’s true pledge is a difficult task
Anyone can laugh through their tears
But to truly share in someone’s sorrows is a difficult task
Gallaan naal rutbe naeen milde
Te sachhe yaar naeen milde
Jogi bhes waṭauna aukha
Words alone can’t earn you the recognition of a true lover
You will have to prove yourself to please your beloved
To become a jogi like Ranjha did is a difficult task
Jhalliya ‘ishq kamauna aukha
Kise noon yaar banauna aukha
O foolish one, love is a difficult task
To make someone your true beloved is a difficult task
Ratiyaan jagaaye ‘ishq
Kamli banaaye ‘ishq
Sooli chadhaaye ‘ishq more piya
Love drives away your sleep
Love drives you beyond sanity
Love drives you to the gallows like Mansur Hallaj
Sab kucch luṭaaye ‘ishq
Kuchh na bachaaye ‘ishq
Apni manaaye ‘ishq more piya
Love makes you sacrifice everything
Love leaves you with nothing
Loves does whatever it pleases
Gallaan naal rutbe naeen milde
Te sachhe yaar naeen milde
Jogi bhes waṭauna aukha
Words alone can’t earn you the recognition of a true lover
You will have to prove yourself to please your beloved
To become a jogi like Ranjha did is a difficult task
Jhalliya ‘ishq kamauna aukha
Kise noon yaar banauna aukha
O foolish one, love is a difficult task
To make someone your true beloved is a difficult task
Vadda ‘ishq ‘ishq toon karna en
Kadi ‘ishq da gunjal khol te sayi
Tainoon maṭṭI wich nah roldewe
Do pyaar de bol bol te sayi
Sukh ghaṭ te dard hazaar milan
Kade ‘ishq noon takṛI tol te sayi
Teri hassdi akkh vi bhijj jaawe
Kadi saanoon andron phol te sayi

You love to babble on about love
But really try unraveling the mystery of love sometime
It could leave you utterly vanquished
Let your lips speak just two words of love sometime
You will find few joys here and a thousand sorrows
Try weighing the gains of love sometime
Even your joyous laughter will turn to tears
Try feeling what’s in our heart sometime
Tera zikr meri har baat mein hai
Tera zikr meri har baat mein hai
Tu paas naheen par saath mein hai
You are constantly in my thoughts
You are constantly in my thoughts
Even while far from me, you remain with me
Main tujh se bichaṛ kar jaaoon kahaan
Tera ‘ishq to meri zaat mein hai
Tera zikr meri har baat mein hai
How could I ever part from you and leave?
Love for you is part of my very being
You are constantly in my thoughts
Jhalliya ‘ishq kamauna aukha
Kise noon yaar banauna aukha
Jhalliya ‘ishq kamauna aukha
Kise noon yaar banauna aukha
O foolish one, love is a difficult task
To make someone your true beloved is a difficult task
O foolish one, love is a difficult task
To make someone your true beloved is a difficult task
Dardaan di maari jind
Ro ro ke haari jind
Tarse wechaari jind labhdi piya
Life is overcome with anguish
Life weeps in defeat
Life yearns for the beloved
‘ishq ch saari jind
Sajnaan ton waari jind
Maare uḍaari jind labhdi piya
Life becomes all about love
Life is sacrificed for the sweetheart
Life goes to any length for the beloved
Gallaan naal rutbe naeen milde
Te sachhe yaar naeen milde
Jogi bhes waṭauna aukha
Jhalliya ‘ishq kamauna aukha
Kise noon yaar banauna aukha
Words alone can’t earn you the recognition of a true lover
You will have to prove yourself to please your beloved
To become a jogi like Ranjha did is a difficult task
O foolish one, love is a difficult task
To make someone your true beloved is a difficult task
