Tukur Tukur Tukur Tukur Tukur Tukur
dekh Taka Tak..

Tukur Tukur doesn’t have a meaning in itself, but the meaning of Tukur Tukur dekhna, is to see someone continuously, to stare, or to look at someone intently. Hence, the line above means ‘look intently, continuously.’

dil mein haan hai hoThon pe naa
dil mein haan hai hoThon pe naa aaye..
bhare bazaar mein dil toD gayi zaalima

there is yes in the heart, and no on the lips,
and openly in front of everyone the cruel girl broke my heart..

Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur
dekh Taka Tak

aashiqon ki jaan le gayi
aashiqon ki jaan le gayi
kaahe rumaal magar chhoD gayi zaalima

she took the life the lovers,
but why did the cruel one leave her handkerchief..

Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur
dekh Taka Tak

chahne wale tere jitne hazaar sanam
baDh ke humse nahi honge dildaar sanam
ye zamana hai bewafaa
ye zamana hai bewafaa
mile mushkil se wafadaar koi baalma

howsoever many your lovers are there, O dear,
they won’t be more generously loving than I,
this world is unfaithful,
you get a faithful lover with much difficulty..

Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur
dekh Taka Tak

pa ra re pa...

ai ai aa vasco da gama
ai ai aa pagDi pajama

pagDi pajama literally means Turban and pyjama bottoms, though it is used more like Gibberish here.

hosh mein hi sahi
magar gustaakhiyaan hon zara
aa tujhe choom loon
bhale badnaamiyaan hon zara

even if in full senses,
there should be some mischiefs,
come I’ll kiss you,
even if there be some infamies..

husn hai bekaabu agar
husn hai bekaabu agar (haT)
kaahe jazbaat ko kaabu mein rakhe baalma

if the beauty is uncontrolled,
why do you keep your emotions in control, O beloved..

Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur
dekh Taka Tak

ai yai yai ya vasco da gama
ai yai yai ya pagDi pajama

pyaar kya cheez hai
peechha chhoDe naa wo marz hai
umr bhar sar se jo
miyan utre na wo karz hai
is se bach ke rehna zara
is se bach ke rehna zara
nazar andaaz naa kar mashwara ye kaam ka

what a thing love is,
it’s that disease that doesn’t leave you,
it’s that loan
which doesn’t get paid in the entire life..
beware of it,
and don’t ignore this useful advice..

Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur Tukur-Tukur
dekh Taka Tak
