ओ पिया सुन ले अगर तू
इक बात कहूँ मेरे पिया सुन ले अगर तू
जब दिल में नहीं पाप तो फिर सोच ना कर तू
इक बात कहूँ
इक बात कहूँ मेरे पिया सुन ले अगर तू
ओ पिया सुन ले अगर तू
मैं तो कह नहीं पाऊँ
कहते हुए शरमाऊँ भला कैसे बताऊँ
मैं कैसे बताऊँ
ओ सब कुछ है इन आँखों में ज़रा देख इधर तू
ओ पिया देख इधर तू
जब दिल में नहीं पाप तो फिर सोच ना कर तू
इक बात कहूँ
इक बात कहूँ मेरे पिया सुन ले अगर तू
ओ पिया सुन ले अगर तू
दो नैनों के पनघट पे लगे प्यार के मेले
लगे प्यार के मेले
दो नैनों के पनघट पे लगे प्यार के मेले
आँसू भी है मुस्कान भी जो चाहे सो ले-ले
जो चाहे सो ले-ले
हो साजन भरे बाज़ार से खाली ना गुज़र तू
पिया खाली ना गुज़र तू
जब दिल में नहीं पाप तो फिर सोच ना कर तू
इक बात कहूँ
इक बात कहूँ मेरे पिया सुन ले अगर तू
ओ पिया सुन ले अगर तू
The lyrics of “Ek Baat Kahoon Mere Piya” are a plea from a lover to their beloved, asking them to listen to something that weighs heavy on their heart. The first verse is a call to attention, asking the beloved to listen closely to what the singer has to say. The second verse speaks to the difficulty of expressing one’s deepest feelings, admitting that words may not be enough to truly convey what the singer is feeling. The chorus repeats the plea for the beloved to listen, emphasizing the importance of what the singer has to say. The final verse speaks to the importance of cherishing and not squandering the love that exists between the two lovers.
The song is beautifully sung by the legendary Asha Bhosle, and the music is composed by R.D. Burman. The composition is a mix of traditional Indian instruments and Western elements, creating a hybrid sound that is both haunting and captivating. The song was a standout track on the 1988 album “Woh Chali” and is still considered one of Asha Bhosle’s best pieces of work.

इक बात कहूँ मेरे पिया सुन ले अगर तू
Let me tell you one thing, my beloved, if you would listen
ओ पिया सुन ले अगर तू
Oh beloved, if only you could listen
जब दिल में नहीं पाप तो फिर सोच ना कर तू
When there is no guilt in your heart, then don't hesitate
छोटे से मेरे मन में है क्या कह नहीं पाऊँ
What's in my small heart, I cannot express
मैं तो कह नहीं पाऊँ
I cannot say it
कहते हुए शरमाऊँ भला कैसे बताऊँ
How can I explain when I feel shy to even speak up?
मैं कैसे बताऊँ
How can I explain?
ओ सब कुछ है इन आँखों में ज़रा देख इधर तू
Oh, everything is in these eyes, just look here
ओ पिया देख इधर तू
Oh beloved, look here
दो नैनों के पनघट पे लगे प्यार के मेले
The meeting of love is reflected in our two eyes
लगे प्यार के मेले
The meeting of love
आँसू भी है मुस्कान भी जो चाहे सो ले-ले
There are tears and smiles, take whatever you want
जो चाहे सो ले-ले
Take whatever you want
हो साजन भरे बाज़ार से खाली ना गुज़र तू
Don't go empty-handed from the market of love, my beloved
पिया खाली ना गुज़र तू
Beloved, don't go empty-handed
