Tere khatir Ishq mera – Bilingual Lyrics Hindi/English

• By: Ashwani Machal

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

My love for you is so deep

it becomes profoundly intense

when I place my finger on the sand

your face emerges there

My love for you is so deep

it becomes profoundly intense

when I place my finger on the sand

your face emerges there

Fulfilling your every desire

is my duty, my friend

My mornings are with you

my evenings are with you, my friend

Every breath that comes to me

and every breath that leaves me

even each drop of every breath

belongs only to you

My love for you is so deep

it becomes profoundly intense

when I place my finger on the sand

your face emerges there

My love is of the soul

not of the body

I’ll spend my entire life with you

not just a few nights

My love is of the soul

not of the body

I’ll spend my entire life with you

not just a few nights

You alone have the right

to live in my heart

Every moment spent without you

is just wasted, meaningless

When I hear my name from your lips, my friend

it feels like a meaningful passing of time

my day becomes complete

because of you

My love for you is so deep

it becomes profoundly intense

when I place my finger on the sand

your face emerges there

[Hindi]

Tere khatir Ishq mera

yun gahra ban jaaye

rakhu ret pe ungli to

Tera chehra ban jaaye

Tere khatir Ishq mera

yun gahra ban jaaye

rakhu ret pe ungli to

Tera chehra ban jaaye

Teri har khuwahise puri

karna mera kaam ho yaara

Tere sang ho subh meri

tere sang saam ho yaara

mujh mein jo aati hai

or jaati saas meri

har saas ka katra bhi

bus Tera ban jaaye

Tere khatir Ishq mera

yun gahra ban jaaye

rakhu ret pe ungli to

Tera chehra ban jaaye

rooh wala mera ishq hai

jismo ki baat na

saari umar Tere sath hoon

hafto ki raat na

ha rooh wala mera ishq hai

jismo ki baat na

saari umar Tere sath hoon

hafto ki raat na

mere dil mein haa rahne ka

bana hakdaar hai tu hi

Tere bin jo bhi guzre vo

lamhe bekar hai yuhi

Tere hoottho se yaara

mera naam jo sunlu mein

bet matlab sa guzara

din mera ban jaaye

Tere khatir Ishq mera

yun gahra ban jaaye

rakhu ret pe ungli to

Tera chehra ban jaaye
