🎵 Hosh Walon Ko Khabar Kya - Soulful Ghazal
📜 Hindi Lyrics (देवनागरी)
Chorus
होश वालों को खबर क्या, बेकुदी क्या चीज़ है
इश्क कीजे, फिर समझिए
इश्क कीजे, फिर समझिए ज़िंदगी क्या चीज़ है
Verse 1
उनसे नज़रें क्या मिलीं, रौशन फ़िज़ाएँ हो गईं
आज जाना प्यार की जादूगरी क्या चीज़ है
Verse 2
खुलती ज़ुल्फ़ों ने सिखाई मौसमों को शायरी
झुकती आँखों ने बताया मय-कशी क्या चीज़ है
Verse 3
हम लबों से कह न पाए उनसे हाल-ए-दिल कभी
और वो समझे नहीं ये ख़ामोशी क्या चीज़ है
Chorus
होश वालों को खबर क्या, बेकुदी क्या चीज़ है
इश्क कीजे, फिर समझिए
इश्क कीजे, फिर समझिए ज़िंदगी क्या चीज़ है
Note: This ghazal captures the intoxicating essence of unspoken love.
🖋️ Urdu Lyrics (اردو)
Chorus
ہوش والوں کو خبر کیا، بےخودی کیا چیز ہے
عشق کیجیے، پھر سمجھیے
عشق کیجیے، پھر سمجھیے زندگی کیا چیز ہے
Verse 1
ان سے نظریں کیا ملیں، روشن فضائیں ہو گئیں
آج جانا پیار کی جادوگری کیا چیز ہے
Verse 2
کھلتی زلفوں نے سکھائی موسموں کو شاعری
جھکتی آنکھوں نے بتایا مے کشی کیا چیز ہے
Verse 3
ہم لبوں سے کہہ نہ پائے ان سے حالِ دل کبھی
اور وہ سمجھے نہیں یہ خاموشی کیا چیز ہے
Chorus
ہوش والوں کو خبر کیا، بےخودی کیا چیز ہے
عشق کیجیے، پھر سمجھیے
عشق کیجیے، پھر سمجھیے زندگی کیا چیز ہے
✍️ Hinglish (Romanized)
Chorus
Hosh walon ko khabar kya, bekudi kya cheez hai
Ishq kije, phir samajhiye
Ishq kije, phir samajhiye zindagi kya cheez hai
Verse 1
Unse nazrein kya mili, roshan fizayein ho gayi
Aaj jaana pyar ki jadugari kya cheez hai
Verse 2
Khulti zulfon ne sikhayi mausamon ko shayari
Jhukati aankhon ne bataya may-kashi kya cheez hai
Verse 3
Hum labon se keh na paaye unse haal-e-dil kabhi
Aur woh samjhe nahin ye khamoshi kya cheez hai
Chorus
Hosh walon ko khabar kya, bekudi kya cheez hai
Ishq kije, phir samajhiye
Ishq kije, phir samajhiye zindagi kya cheez hai
🌍 English Translation
Chorus
What do the sane know of intoxication’s true essence?
Fall in love, then understand
Fall in love, then understand what life truly is
Verse 1
When our eyes met, the air turned radiant
Today I learned the magic of love’s enchantment
Verse 2
Her flowing locks taught the seasons poetry
Her lowered eyes revealed the art of inebriation
Verse 3
My lips could never confess my heart’s state to her
And she never grasped what this silence means
Chorus
What do the sane know of intoxication’s true essence?
Fall in love, then understand
Fall in love, then understand what life truly is
Translation note: The English version preserves the ghazal’s poetic and emotional depth.
