O Meri Jaan
KK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

दिल खुदगर्ज़ है फ़िसला है ये फ़िर हाथ से
कल उसका रहा अब है तेरा इस रात से
दिल खुदगर्ज़ है फ़िसला है ये फ़िर हाथ से
कल उसका रहा अब है तेरा इस रात से
ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान

तू आ गया यूँ नज़र में
जैसे सुबह दोपहर में
मदहोशी यूँ ही नहीं दिल पे छाई
नियत ने ली अँगड़ाई
छुआ तूने कुछ इस तरह
बदली फ़िज़ा बदला समां
ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान

नाता समझे ना हाँ ये दिल मेरा
जानूँ ना जानूँ ना इसको क्या हुआ(इसको क्या हुआ)
मेरी बाहों की फिर से ढूँढे ये पनाह
तू है कहाँ तू है कहाँ
ओ मेरी जान ओ
ओ मेरी जान ओ
ओ मेरी जान ओ




ओ मेरी जान (मेरी जान) ओ
ओ मेरी जान ओ

दिल खुदगर्ज़ है फ़िसला है ये फ़िर हाथ से
My heart is reckless, the decision has slipped from my hands


कल उसका रहा अब है तेरा इस रात से
Yesterday it belonged to someone else, tonight it belongs to you


ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान ओ मेरी जान
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love


तू आ गया यूँ नज़र में
You appeared in front of me so suddenly


जैसे सुबह दोपहर में
Like morning in the afternoon


मदहोशी यूँ ही नहीं दिल पे छाई
It's not just intoxication, it has taken over my heart


नियत ने ली अँगड़ाई
My destiny has taken a turn


छुआ तूने कुछ इस तरह
You touched me in a way


बदली फ़िज़ा बदला समां
The weather changed, the surroundings changed


नाता समझे ना हाँ ये दिल मेरा
Even I don't understand the bond my heart has formed


जानूँ ना जानूँ ना इसको क्या हुआ(इसको क्या हुआ)
I don't know what has happened to it


मेरी बाहों की फिर से ढूँढे ये पनाह
It seeks shelter again in my arms


तू है कहाँ तू है कहाँ
Where are you? Where are you?


ओ मेरी जान ओ
Oh my love


ओ मेरी जान ओ
Oh my love


ओ मेरी जान ओ
Oh my love
