Piya (x2)
My beloved
Mora piya (x3)
My beloved
Piya mora
My beloved
Mora piya maanat nahin
My beloved doesn't agree
Mora piya (x2)
My beloved
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x2)
My beloved doesn't speak to me
Nothing without you
Just look at me
Please say something
Dwaar jiya ke
The doors of the heart
Why don't you speak to me
You are all I need
Dwaar jiye ke kholat naahin
He doesn't open the doors of his heart
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x2)
My beloved doesn't speak to me
Darpan dekhun roop nihaarun (x2)
I look at myself in the mirror and enhance my guise
Aur solah shringaar karun
And I put on the 16 adornments
(Solah Shringaar is a term to denote the beautification of a woman in India,
done mostly during a wedding or a special occasion. It encompasses sixteen
basic steps of beautification of a woman from head to toe)
Pher najariya baitha bairi
The cruel one is sitting with his gaze in the other direction
Kaise ankhiyan chaar karoon
How should I meet his eyes
Koi jatan ab
All attempts now
Koi jatan ab kaam na aave
All attempts now seem futile
Uss kachhu sohat naahin
Nothing suits him
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x2)
My beloved doesn't speak to me
Hamri ik muskaan pe woh toh
For a small smile on my face
Haan hamri ik muskaan pe woh toh
Yes, for a small smile on my face
Apni jaan lutaata tha
He used to sacrifice his life
Jag bisra ke aathon pehariya
All throughout the 8 parts of the day
(In Hindu Mythology, the day is divided into 8 parts, each of 3 hour duration)
More hi gun gaata tha
He used to sing only my praises
Bhaa gayi ka
Did he fall in love
Bhaa gayi ka koyi sautan oh ke
Did he fall in love with some other girl
Mora kuchh bhaawat naahin
As he doesn't like anything in me anymore
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin
My beloved doesn't speak to me
Say something
Why don't you speak to me
Look at me
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin
My beloved doesn't speak to me
Dwaar jiya ke
The doors of the heart
Just speak to me please
Dwaar jiye ke kholat naahin
He doesn't open the doors of his heart
Don't you know I just can't
Live without you
Mora piya mo se bolat naahin (x5)
My beloved doesn't speak to me
