Manwa laage, laage re sanware
Le tera hua jiya ka, jiya ka, jiya ka ye gaanv re

My heart is interested, interested (in you), O dark one,
See, this village of the heart is yours now.

Manwa laage, laage re sanware
Le khela maine jiya ka, jiya ka, jiya ka hai daanv re

My heart is interested, interested (in you), O loved one,
See, I've played this bet of my heart...



Musaafir hoon main door ka
Deewana hoon main dhoop ka
Mujhe na bhaaye.. na bhaye, na bhaye chaanv re

I am a traveller of far away,
I am a lover of sunshine,
I don't like, don't like shades..

Mann ke dhaage, dhaage pe saanwre
Hai likha mene tera hi, tera hi, tera hi to naam re

On the thread of the heart, O beloved,
I have written yours, yeah your name alone.

Aisi kaisi boli tere naino ne boli
Jaane kyon main doli
Aisa laage teri ho li main, tu meraa..

What a language is the language of your eyes,
Why did I sway (from my steadiness),
It seemed as if I became yours, and you mine..

Tune baat kholi kachche dhaagon mein piro li
Baaton ki rangoli se na khelun aise holi
main naa tera..

You opened this talk and sewed it in fragile thread,
I don't play holi (the indian festival of colors) with such colorful talks,
I am not yours..

Kisi ka to hoga hi tu
Kyon na tujhe main hi jeetoon
Khule khwaabon me jeete hain, jeete hain baawre

You'll eventually belong to someone,
Why shouldn't I win you..
Only in dreams mad people live and win..

[jeete hain is a form of two different verbs which could mean win, or live, depending on context. Here, Irshad Kamil uses it to his advantage so as both the meanings are useful here. To stress the same probably, he uses it twice there.]

Mann ke dhaage, dhaage pe saanwre
Hai likha mene tera hi, tera hi, tera hi to naam re

On the thread of the heart, O beloved,
I have written yours, yeah your name alone.

Ras bundiya nayan piya raas rache
Dil dhad dhad dhadke shor mache
Yoon dekh sek sa lag jaaye
Main jal jaaun bas pyaar bache

With drops of nectar in his eyes, my beloved plays raas leela,
The heart pounds and there is noise,
Look at me in a way that I feel a heat,
that I burn, and there is just love remaining.

Aise dore daale kaala jaadu naina kaale
Tere main hawaale hua seene se laga le
Aa.. main tera...
dono dheeme dheeme jalein
Aaja dono aise milein
Zameen pe laage, na tere, na mere paanv re

They entangle me, these black eyes, with their black magic.
I am all yours, embrace me,
Oh, I am yours.
Let us both burn slowly..
Come, let's both meet in such a way,
That your feet don't touch the earth..

Manva laage..
Laage re saanwre
Laage re sanwre
Le tera hua jiya ka, jiya ka, jiya ka ye gaanv re

Rahoon main tere naino ki, naino ki, naino ki chaanv re...

I'll live in the shade of your eyes...
