Dil Sambhal Ja Zara Phir Mohabbat lyrics English translation
Jab jab tere paas main aaya
Whenever I came close to you,
Ek sukoon mila
I found a strange peace.
Jise main tha bhoolta aaya
The part of me I kept forgetting—
Woh wajood mila
I found that very existence again.
Jab aaye mausam gham ke
Whenever seasons of sorrow arrived,
Tujhe yaad kiya
I remembered you.
Jab sehme tanhapan se
Whenever loneliness frightened me,
Tujhe yaad kiya
I remembered you.
hmm…
Dil sambhal ja zara
O heart, steady yourself…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re about to fall in love again.
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
O heart, pause right here…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re about to fall in love again.
Aisa kyun kar hua
How did all this happen?
Jaanu na, main jaanu na
I don’t know… I truly don’t know.
Dil sambhal ja zara
O heart, be careful…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re falling in love again.
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Stop right here, heart…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re about to love again.
Jis raah pe hai ghar tera
On the road where your house stands,
Aksar wahaan se haan main hoon guzra
I’ve often walked past that way.
Shayad yahi dil mein raha
Maybe this stayed hidden in my heart—
Tu mujhko mil jaaye, kya pata
That someday you might become mine… who knows?
Kya hai yeh silsila
What is this whole story?
Jaanu na, main jaanu na
I don’t know… I really don’t know.
Dil sambhal ja zara
Heart, hold yourself together…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re falling in love again.
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Stop right here, heart…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re about to love again.
Kuch bhi nahi jab darmiyaan
When there’s nothing between us—
Phir kyun hai dil tere hi khwaab bunta
Why does my heart keep weaving dreams of you?
Chaha ki dein tujhko bhula
I tried to forget you…
Par yeh bhi mumkin ho na saka
But even that wasn’t possible.
Kya hai yeh maamla
What is this feeling?
Jaanu na, main jaanu na
I don’t know, I truly don’t know.
Dil sambhal ja zara
O heart, be steady…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re going to fall in love again.
Dil yahin ruk ja zara
Stop here, heart…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re about to love again.
Dil sambhal ja zara
O heart, be steady…
Phir mohabbat karne chala hai tu
You’re going to fall in love again.
