Dil Ke Taj Mahal Meinn: Translation of Bollywood Dance Song

Dil Ke Taj Mahal Meinn – Himesh Reshammiya Song Translated

Meta Description: Dil Ke Taj Mahal Meinn is a group song from new Bollywood film Badass Ravi Kumar, produced by and starring Himesh Reshammiya. Enjoy the karaoke translation.

Setting the Background for Translating Dil Ke Taj Mahal Meinn

The film Badass Ravi Kumar was announced in November 2022 but will be released only on February 7, 2025. Despite a stellar cast of Himesh Reshammiya, Prabhu Deva, Sanjay Mishra, Johnny Lever, and Sunny Leone, there never was any hype for this Bollywood movie. All this changed when the song Dil Ke Taj Mahal Meinn was released on January 6, 2025 and went viral on social media platforms.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Dil Ke Taj Mahal Meinn

O my pretty girl

In your form Venus lies

O my romantic muse

Angel of paradise

You’re the peace of my heart

The sparkle of my eyes

My heart like a bumble bee

To the flowers wants to dart

Your eyes like blue lotuses

In them it wants to depart

Enter without hesitation

The Taj Mahal of my heart

Be my Mumtaz Mahal in

The Taj Mahal of my heart

Be my Mumtaz Mahal in

The Taj Mahal of my heart

From the clouds you appear as the full moon

You are my hope, my desire, my boon

Your attitude I find so romantic

You are my Kohinoor and my fortune

O my pretty girl

In your form Venus lies

O my romantic muse

Angel of paradise

You’re the peace of my heart

The sparkle of my eyes

My heart like a bumble bee

To the flowers wants to dart

Your eyes like blue lotuses

In them it wants to depart

Enter without hesitation

The Taj Mahal of my heart

Be my Mumtaz Mahal in

The Taj Mahal of my heart

Be my Mumtaz Mahal in

The Taj Mahal of my heart

Translation of Lori Sung by Hansika Pareek from Movie Munjya

Lori – English Translation of Hit Lullaby Song from Munjya

Meta Description: Lori is a Bollywood lullaby from the movie Munjya rendered by Hansika Pareek. Enjoy the lyrics translated in English to the beat of the original music track.

Setting the Background for Translating Lori

Any Harry Potter fan would tell you that there is no greater shield against evil than a mother’s love. In Bollywood films, the lullaby ("lori" in Hindi) has long been a powerful symbol of a mother's unconditional love. In the song from Munjya, Bittu, troubled by an evil spirit, finds solace in his grandmother Gita’s vow to protect him. The first verse mirrors the gentle soothing of a typical lullaby, lulling the child to sleep, but soon the lyrics shift, reflecting a fierce determination to ward off the darkness.

The list of iconic Bollywood lullabies is vast, but two of the most beloved are Nanhi Kali Sone Chali and Chanda Hai Tu. If you'd like a translation of any lullabies, feel free to drop a comment!

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Lori

The clouds form your cradle, on the moon your head lies

For your quilt you have the starlit skies

I will kiss your forehead and sing songs for you

Of stories about fairies and tales of fireflies

It will not touch you this black magic spell

The shimmering moonlight will all evil quell

I will snuggle you tight against my protective bosom

As a pearl ensconced in an oyster shell

From music of crickets, tunes I’ll devise

And percolate the air with unsung lullabies

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Lori from Munjya

Paalna Hai Baadlon Ka Takiya Chaand Ka

Odhane Ko Taron Se Jada Yeh Aasmaa

Tera Maatha Choom Ke Sunaaun Main Tujhe

Pariyon Ki Kahani Jugnuon Ki Daastaan

Kaale Andhere Ye Tujhe Chhoo Na Paayein

Jhilmil Chaandni Main Chiddak Doon Zara

Jheene Se Aanchal Mein Tujhe Main Sahejoon

Moti Seepiyon Mein Rahe Jiss Tarah

Jhinguron Ki Sargamon Se Dhun Bana Ke Main

Ghol Doon Hava Mein Ansuni Si Loriyaan

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Phir Aur Kya Chahiye

Instead of you darling

I was offered everything

All the riches in this world then

I’d forsake all the riches

If you are with me

What else should I possess

If you are with me

What else should I possess

No one needs to help me

And no one needs to bless

If you are with me

What else should I possess

O my winsome lady loved one

If I’m born a hundred times

I want you as my partner always, yes

If you are with me

What else should I possess

If you are with me

What else should I possess

No one needs to help me

And no one needs to bless

If you are with me

What else should I possess

You only are my Juliet

You are mine I am

Your Romeo

Ho the sun will just not rise for me

As long as you are in slumber smooth

Ho the sun will just not rise for me

As long as you are in slumber smooth

Sweet dreams are total lies for me

Sweeter than dreams you are my truth

Oh my winsome lady loved one

My wounds do not need

Lotions and ointments

They only need your soft caress

If you are with me

What else should I possess

If you are with me

What else should I possess

No one needs to help me

And no one needs to bless

If you are with me

What else should I possess

You only you only

You only are my Juliet

You only you only

You only are my Juliet

You are mine I am

Your Romeo

You only you only

You only are my Juliet

You only you only

You only are my Juliet

You are mine I am

Your Romeo

Instead of you darling

I was offered everything

All the riches in this world then

I’d forsake all the riches

Yeshu Translation and Explanation of song from 7 Khoon Maaf

Yeshu – Translation of Spiritual Song from 7 Khoon Maaf

Meta Description: Yeshu is a song from Hindi film 7 Khoon Maaf. Lyrics are by Gulzar, sung by Rekha Bhardwaj, and the music by Vishal Bhardwaj. Enjoy the poetic translation.

Setting the Background for Translating Yeshu

Gulzar uses "Yeshu," the modern Israeli name for Jesus, instead of the more commonly used "Isa" in Hindi, which is derived from the Arabic. The song unfolds as Susanna, weary of her past transgressions and the weight of her crimes, finds redemption in Christ. In a pivotal moment, she accepts Him as her husband and takes her vows as a nun.

The essence of the song lies in its portrayal of God, who watches quietly and seemingly mysteriously over the struggles of His followers. To embrace God, as Susanna does, is to take that final, blind leap of faith—an act that transcends doubt and surrenders to the divine will.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Yeshu

You can hear the church bells ring, Jesus

Yet you do not say a thing, Jesus

You can hear the church bells ring, Jesus

Yet you do not say a thing, Jesus

Who’ll be your followers, what’s the basis for choosing, Jesus oh Jesus

You can hear the church bells ring, Jesus

Yet you do not say a thing, Jesus

Is this body meaningless, can the soul only despair

You’re the paragon of love, but is love a cross to bear

This cotton-like body please tell me why you are weaving, Jesus, Jesus

You can hear the church bells ring, Jesus

Yet you do not say a thing, Jesus

I am all alone just now I plead this wish you fulfil

First take me in your embrace and then send me where you will

There is no pain in heaven tell me are you listening, Jesus, Jesus

You can hear the church bells ring, Jesus

Yet you do not say a thing, Jesus

Who’ll be your followers, what’s the basis for choosing, Jesus

You can hear the church bells ring, Jesus

Yet you do not say a thing, Jesus

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Yeshu from 7 Khoon Maaf

Girje ka gajar sunte ho, yeshu

Phir bhi tum chup rehte ho, yeshu

Girje ka gajar sunte ho, yeshu

Phir bhi tum chup rehte ho, yeshu

Apne chahane walon ko tum kaise chunte ho, yeshu, aaa yeshu

Girje ka gajar sunte ho, yeshu

Phir bhi tum chup rehte ho, yeshu

Kya jism yeh bemaani hai kya rooh gareeb hoti hai

Tum pyaar hi pyaar ho lekin kya pyaar saleeb hoti hai

Rui ki tarah iss jism ko tum kis liye bunte ho, yeshu, yeshu

Girje ka gajar sunte ho, yeshu

Phir bhi tum chup rehte ho, yeshu

Koi nahin iss waqt yahan iss waqt mujhe apnaana

Aagosh mein apni le lo phir chaahe jahan le jaana

Uss paar toh koi dard nahin bolo na sunte ho, yeshu, yeshu

Girje ka gajar sunte ho, yeshu

Phir bhi tum chup rehte ho, yeshu

Apne chahane walo ko tum kaise chunte ho, yeshu

Girje ka gajar sunte ho, yeshu

Phir bhi tum chup rehte ho, yeshu

Meanings of Difficult Urdu Words

Girja = Church

Gajar = Pealing of bells

Yeshu = Jesus

Bemaani = Without meaning

Rooh = Spirit

Saleeb = The Cross on which Christ was crucified

Translation of Darling Song by Gulzar from 7 Khoon Maaf

Darling – Translation of Usha Uthup Song from 7 Khoon Maaf

Meta Description: Darling is a song from Vishal Bhardwaj film 7 Khoon Maaf. Lyrics by Gulzar, sung by Usha Uthup, the dance song features Priyanka Chopra. Enjoy the translation.

Setting the Background for Translating Darling

Usha Uthup has built a strong presence in Bollywood, particularly through songs depicting vibrant stage performances and energetic party tracks. Darling from 7 Khoon Maaf is a perfect example of this, fitting seamlessly into her style. The song plays during a community celebration at a colonial-era club. Interestingly, Usha Uthup also has a cameo role in the film as Maggie Aunty.

The lyrics of Darling mirror the character of Susanna, portrayed by Priyanka Chopra. She is a woman who indulges in fleeting affairs rather than seeking lasting relationships, a true femme fatale. The title Susanna’s Seven Husbands of Ruskin Bond’s novelette that inspired 7 Khoon Maaf encapsulates her complex and mercurial nature perfectly.

Gulzar has penned the words for the song, a collaboration that is often seen in Vishal Bharadwaj’s films. Darling presents a Western-style dance number with upbeat, foot-tapping music, yet Gulzar weaves in his signature Urdu poetry without losing the song’s colonial essence. In fact, if set to a different musical backdrop, the lyrics could easily be part of a mushaira.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Darling
