तेरे इश्क़ में हाय तेरे इश्क़ में
राख से रूखी कोयले से काली
रात कटे ना हिज़्राँ वाली
तेरे इश्क़ में
हाय तेरे इश्क़ में
राख से रूखी कोयले से काली
तेरे इश्क़ में हाय हाय
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
तेरी जुस्तजू करते रहे मरते रहे
तेरे इश्क़ में
तेरे रू-ब-रू बैठे हुए मरते रहे
तेरे इश्क़ में
तेरे रू-ब-रू तेरी जुस्तजू
तेरे इश्क़ में
हाय तेरे इश्क़ में
बादल धुने मौसम बुने
सदियाँ गिनीं लम्हे चुने
लम्हे चुने मौसम बुने
कुछ गर्म थे कुछ गुन्गुने
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
बादल धुने मौसम बुने
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
तेरे इश्क़ में हाय हाय
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)

तेरे इश्क़ में तन्हाईयाँ
तन्हाईयाँ तेरे इश्क़ में
हमने बहुत बहलाईयाँ
तन्हाईयाँ तेरे इश्क़ में
रूसे कभी मनवाईयाँ
तन्हाईयाँ तेरे इश्क़ में
मुझे टोह कर कोई दिन गया
मुझे छेड़ कर कोई शब गई
मैंने रख ली सारी आहटें
कब आई थी शब कब गई
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
कब दिन गया (कब दिन गया)
शब कब गई तेरे इश्क़ में
तेरे इश्क़ में हाय हाय
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)
तेरे इश्क़ में (तेरे इश्क़ में)

राख से रूखी कोयले से काली
रात कटे ना हिज़्राँ वाली
दिल सोफिये था
हम चल दिये जहाँ ले चला
तेरे इश्क़ में हम चल दिये
तेरे इश्क़ में हाय तेरे इश्क़ में
मैं आस्माँ मैं ही ज़मीं
गीली ज़मीं सीली ज़मीं
जब लब जले पी ली ज़मीं
गीली ज़मीं तेरे इश्क़ में
In "Tere Ishq Mein," Rekha Bharadwaj poetically paints the pain and intensity of love. The song speaks of a love so deep that it consumes the lover entirely, making them lose themselves in the beloved. The refrain, "tere ishq mein," is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing that everything happening is because of the beloved.
The song begins by likening the state of the lover to that of burning coal and dry ash, a metaphor for the intensity of their pain. The line, "raat kate na hizra'n waali," means the night does not pass by quickly, emphasizing the lover's desperation to be with the beloved. The next stanza expresses their longing as they "kept yearning and dying" for the beloved, eventually leading to their ultimate fate of dying while sitting face-to-face with them.
The song then meanders through time as it talks about the seasons and moments spent together, with the beloved's love staying constant throughout. As the song comes to a close, the final lines "Main aasmaan, main hi zameen, geeli zameen siili zameen Jab lab jale pi li zameen, geeli zameen tere ishq mein" show the overwhelming nature of this love. The lover has become one with the earth and sky in their love for the beloved.
Overall, the song speaks of the all-consuming nature of love and how it can make us lose ourselves entirely.

तेरे इश्क़ में हाय तेरे इश्क़ में
In your love, oh your love
राख से रूखी कोयले से काली
Ashen and dark like coal
रात कटे ना हिज़्राँ वाली
The night passes slowly, unable to bear separation
तेरे इश्क़ में
In your love
तेरी जुस्तजू करते रहे मरते रहे
Always yearning for you, even after dying
तेरे रू-ब-रू बैठे हुए मरते रहे
Sitting in front of you, dying in your love
तेरे रू-ब-रू तेरी जुस्तजू
Facing you and yearning for you
बादल धुने मौसम बुने
Weaving seasons out of clouds
सदियाँ गिनीं लम्हे चुने
Counting centuries, choosing moments
लम्हे चुने मौसम बुने
Choosing moments and weaving seasons
कुछ गर्म थे कुछ गुन्गुने
Some moments were warm, some whispered melodies
तेरे इश्क़ में तन्हाईयाँ
In your love, there is loneliness
तन्हाईयाँ तेरे इश्क़ में
Loneliness in your love
हमने बहुत बहलाईयाँ
I have tried to deceive myself a lot
रूसे कभी मनवाईयाँ
Sometimes sulking, sometimes making up
मुझे टोह कर कोई दिन गया
I missed my chance, and it passed
मुझे छेड़ कर कोई शब गई
Taunted by night, it passed
मैंने रख ली सारी आहटें
I have saved all the sounds
कब आई थी शब कब गई
When did the night come, when did it go
कब दिन गया
When did the day go
शब कब गई तेरे इश्क़ में
When did the night go, in your love
दिल सोफिये था
The heart was a Sufi
हम चल दिये जहाँ ले चला
I started walking and it took me to a different place
तेरे इश्क़ में हम चल दिये
In your love, I started walking
मैं आस्माँ मैं ही ज़मीं
I am the sky, I am the earth
गीली ज़मीं सीली ज़मीं
Drenched, sealed earth
जब लब जले पी ली ज़मीं
When my lips burn, I drink the earth
गीली ज़मीं तेरे इश्क़ में
Drenched earth, in your love

@atiyauthmani8516
I still remember when I first heard this song 20 years ago and how mesmerized I was by her voice....I didn't even know her name then, but I knew then and there, she will always be my favourite Indo-Pak singer, and to-date, no one has been able to dethrone her from that top spot in my heart ❤👑
