The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Kesariya

Someone, please give me a hint a clue

How can anyone not fall in love with you

 

The creator has left no stone unturned

In crafting your exquisite beauty and poise

You have used this fatal attraction

To shatter the  

Dreams of so many many boys

 

Like saffron is your love, my love

A touch and I’ll take on its hue

All day I pray for your well being

All night I’m awake worrying about you

 

That blooms even during autumn

You’re like the flaming chinar

That breaks the pin drop silence

You’re like the stringed sitar

My mind is gutted in darkness

Of the moonless night

You shine in the sky like the bright pole star

 

The whole world is crazy about you

Can’t be helped

You are the perfect choice

You have used this fatal attraction

To shatter the  

Dreams of so many many boys

 

Like saffron is your love, my love

A touch and I’ll take on its hue

All day I pray for your well being

All night I’m awake worrying about you

 

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Kesariya from Brahmastra

 

Mujhko itna bataye koi
Kaise tujhse dil na lagaye koi

Rabba ne tujhko banane mein
Kardi hai husn ki khaali tijoriyan
Kajal ki siyahi se likhi
Hai tune jaane
Kitno ki love storiyan

Kesariya tera ishq hai piya
Rang jaaun jo main hath lagaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Rain saari teri khair manaun

Patjhad ke mausam mein bhi
Rangi chanaron jaisi
Jhanke sannnaton mein tu
Veena ke taaron jaisi
Hmm, sadiyon se bhi lambi yeh
Mann ki amavasein hain
Aur tu phuljhadiyon wale tyoharon jaisi

Chanda bhi deewana hai tera
Jalti hai tujhse
Saari chhakoriyan
Kajal ki siyahi se likhi
Hai tune jaane
Kitno ki love storiyan

Kesariya tera ishq hai piya
Rang jaaun jo main hath lagaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Rain saari teri khair manaun
