1/3: chaahat
khilna kahin chupa bhi hai
chaahat ke phool ka
li ghar mein saans
aur gali tak mehak gayi
has the blooming of love’s flower
ever been discreet?
i smelled the flower at home
and the fragrance filled the streets

2/3: chaahat
avval to thoDi thoDi
chaahat thi darmiyaan mein
phir baat kehte
luknat aane lagi zabaan mein
at first, there was a
a little fondness between us
and then, i started to stutter
when i spoke to her

3/3: chaahat
aate jaate log hamein kyuun
dost puraane lagte hain
chaahat ki is had par, yaarab,
hum to deewaane lagte hain
why do new acquaintances
seem like old friends to us
affection to this extent, oh god,
makes us look a little mad
