Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi..
Ranjha ranjha saddo ni mainu heer na aakho koyi..
(Note: the above two lines are by Bulleh shah)..
(I have been chanting the name of Ranjha so much that I myself have
become Ranjha)
(Call me Ranjha, there is nobody with the name Heer here)
Oo ranjha ranjha na kar heere jag badnami hoye..
Patti patti jhar jaave par khushboo chup na hoye..
(o Heer, don't chant the name of ranjha because it would lead to
infamy in the world)
(the petals of the flowers wither away, but the fragrance doesn't
become silent and is still there in withered petals)
Begunah pakda gaya (yaaro), ishq mein jakda gaya (yaaro)..
Aankh ke dosh mein dil (yaaro), bewajah pakda gaya (yaaro)..
(the one who was innocent got nabbed, o friends.)
(he got shackled in the love)
(it was a mistake of the eye that it saw the beloved, and it was the
heart that got caught for no reason)
Aankh se hatt ti nahin, arrey hatt ti nahin, arrey hatt ti nahin..
Sotey sotey bolta hoon, kabhi bolte bolte sota hoon..
Kya jaane kya hota hai, kabhi jalti aag dadolta hoon..
Ek baar to aake dekhe woh bhi..
(her image doesn't leave my eyes)
(I start to speak while asleep)
(whereas sometimes I fall asleep while talking)
(I don't know what happens to me)
(sometimes I explore burning fire)
Ranjha Ranjha..
Jal ja, jal ja ishq mein jal ja, jale se kangan ho..
Jalti raakh laga le maathe lagey to chandan hoye..
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main..
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi..
Ranjha ranjha saddo ni mainu heer na aakho koyi..
(get ignited, get burnt, get burnt in the fire of love, by getting
burnt, one becomes a bracelet)
(by putting the burning ash to the forehead, it will feel cool like
sandalwood)
Waqt katt ta bhi nahin, waqt rukta bhi nahin..
Dil hai sajde mein magar, ishq jhukta bhi nahin..
Bina tere raatein, arrey raatein kyun lambhi lagti hain..
Kabhi tera gussa, kabhi teri baatein kyun achchi lagti hain..
Yeh jalte koyle, arrey koyle ab rakhna mushkil hai..
(the time doesn't pass, the doesn't even stop)
(the heart is bowing to someone, but the love doesn't even stoop)
(without you, why do the nights appear longer)
(sometimes your anger, sometimes your talk, why do they feel good)
(these burning coals, it has now become difficult to keep them)
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi..
Ranjha ranjha saddo ni mainu heer na aakho koyi..
Oo ranjha ranjha na kar heere jag badnami hoye..
Patti patti jhar jaave par khushboo chup na hoye..
Jal ja, jal ja ishq mein jal ja, jale se kangan ho..
Jalti raakh laga le maathe lagey to chandan hoye..
Chal, chal junoon chalte rahein, tu kahin theher nahin..
Dil agar aa bhi gaya, woh tera shehar nahin..
Bina tere saansein, arrey saansein kahin khatam na ho jaayein..
Sabi teri yaadein, sabi yaadein kahin basam na ho jaayein..
Sulagte koyle, arrey koyle ab bujhna mushkil hai..
(let us move on together, o my madness, we keep on moving on, you
should not halt anywhere)
(if you heart likes a place, that is still not your destination)
(without you, hope the breaths don't get finished up)
(all your memories, all memories, hope they don't get burnt to ash)
(coals are burning, o coals, it is now difficult to stop burning)
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main..
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi..
Ranjha ranjha saddo ni mainu heer na aakho koyi..
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi..
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi..
Oo ranjha ranjha na kar heere jag badnami hoye..
Patti patti jhar jaave par khushboo chup na hoye..
Ranjha ranjha kardi ve main aape ranjha hoyi..
