आई है तुमसे रंगीनिया
फीके थे लम्हे जीने में सारे
आई है तुमसे नमकीनिया
बे-इरादा रास्तों की
बन गये हो मंज़िलें
मुश्किलें हल हैं तुम्ही से
या तुम्ही हो मुश्किलें
हम ना रहे हम, तुम क्या मिले
जैसे मेरे दिल में खिले
फागुन के मौसम तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
कोरे काग़ज़ों की ही तरह है
इश्क़ बिना जवानीयाँ
दर्ज़ हुई है शायरी में
जिनकी हैं प्रेम कहानियाँ
हम ज़माने की निगाहों में
कभी गुमनाम थे
अपने चर्चे कर रही है
अब शहर की महफिलें
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
हम ना रहे हम, तुम क्या मिले
जैसे मेरे, दिल में खिले
फागुन के मौसम, तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले, तुम क्या मिले
हम थे रोज़मर्रा के एक तरह के
कितने सवालों में उलझे
उनके जवाबों के जैसे मिले
झरने ठंडे पानी के हो रवानी में
उँचे पहाड़ों से बह के
ठहरे तालाबों से जैसे मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
हम ना रहे हम
तुम क्या मिले
जैसे मेरे दिल में खिले
फागुन के मौसम
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
हम ना रहे हम
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
तुम क्या मिले
The song "Main Kya Karoon" ("What Should I Do") by Pritam is a song about confusion and a feeling of helplessness in love. The singer's heart is restless, and he cannot control it, even though he has never felt this way before. He implores his love interest to tell him what to do because he cannot figure out how to deal with his emotions. He also mentions that he has been indifferent to things recently, implying that his preoccupation with love has affected his everyday life.
The song's lyrics express the frustration and confusion that often comes with falling in love, particularly when things are not going as planned. The chorus, which repeats the words "Main Kya Karoon" throughout, adds to the overall feeling of helplessness and desperation that the singer feels. It is a relatable and honest portrayal of the struggle that people go through when trying to navigate their emotions.
Overall, "Main Kya Karoon" is a beautiful and emotional song that conveys a complex range of feelings in a simple way. The lyrics, combined with the music, make it a powerful song that speaks to anyone who has ever been in a similar situation.

दिल ये मेरा बस में नहीं
My heart is not under my control anymore
पहले कभी ऐसा होता था नहीं
It never used to be like this before
तू ही बता इस दिल का मैं
You tell me what should I do with my heart
अब क्या करूँ
What should I do now?
कहने पे चलता नहीं
I can't act on what I say
कुछ दिनों से मेरी भी सुनता नहीं
Even I haven't been able to listen to myself for a few days
उफ्फ अब मैं क्या करूँ
Oh, now what should I do?
मैं क्या करूँ
What should I do?
इस दिल का क्या करूँ
What should I do with this heart?
करता आवारगी
I indulge in waywardness
इसपे तो धुन चढ़ी है प्यार की
This heart is humming a love song
जाने गुम है कहाँ
Don't know where I'm lost
बातों में है पड़ा बेकार की पा पा प पा
Just wasted words (pa pa pa...)
ना जाने गुम है कहाँ
Don't know where I'm lost
बातों में है पड़ा बेकार की
Just wasted words
उलटी ये बात है
This is a reversed situation
ऐसे हालात है
Such are the circumstances
गलती करे ये मैं भरूँ
If there's any mistake, I'll take the blame
उफ़ दिल का क्या करूँ
Oh, what should I do with this heart?
दिल पे मेरा काबू नहीं
I don't have control over my heart
फितरत कभी इसकी ऐसी थी नहीं
Its nature has never been like this before

You tell me what should I do with this heart
हम्म हम्म कहने पे चालता नहीं
I can't act on just humming (Humm humm...)
उफ्फ दिल का क्या करूँ
