While I have lost my heart in love but won the game of life. I wish after winning in love, no one else would remain so agitated and restless like I do. 2. ना मिले जीते-जी चाहे, ये जनम में हम तुम, हो जनम ओर तो ना हो सिवा तेरे कोई, गर हो तेरे सिवा तो हो ख़ुदा आगे कोई, मेरी आँखों के सिवा, तुझ को ना देखे कोई, naa mile jiite-jii chaahe, ye janam me.n ham tum, ho janam or to naa ho sivaa tere ko.ii, gar ho tere sivaa to ho KHudaa aage ko.ii, merii aa.nkho.n ke sivaa, tujh ko naa dekhe ko.ii, जीते-जी – while alive Love usually brings the fear of losing the beloved and the fear of failure in culminating the love finally. Also, it makes us possessive of our object of love. So, these lines say, in case it so happens that we can’t succeed in this life in culminating our love and if there is any after-life, it be with you. The next two lines slip into Sufi romanticism saying, if there be any one in front of me other than you while offering prayers, it be the Supreme God himself and no one else. And, says with utter possessiveness, let only my eyes see you and no one else. 3. ना थी ख़ुश्बू वो गुलों की, ना बहारें कोई, थे ख़यालात वो सब उन के, क्या जाने कोई, है मोहब्बत से बड़ा ना यहाँ तोहफ़ा कोई, ये करिश्मा है ख़ुदा का जो ना समझे कोई, naa thii KHushbuu vo gulo.n kii, naa bahaare.n ko.ii, the KHayaalaat vo sab un ke, kyaa jaane ko.ii, hai mohabbat se ba.Daa naa yahaa.n tohfaa ko.ii, ye karishmaa hai KHudaa kaa jo naa samjhe ko.ii, गुलों – roses ख़यालात - thoughts तोहफ़ा – gift करिश्मा – divine phenomenon, miracle These lines describe the awestruck mind of a lover saying, the pleasure that rules my mind is neither the result of fragrance of roses nor the beautiful blossoming of flowers during spring season, rather it is due to her thoughts crossing my mind and that no one knows. Feeling of love is such a boon by God to we, humans, and it is one of his most charismatic creations. 4. तेरी चाहत के सिवा दिल में ना चाहें कोई, तेरी बाहों के सिवा ना हो पनाहें कोई, गर मोहब्बत के सिवा ओर हो मज़हब, काफ़िर, फिर सिवा तेरे ख़ुदा ओर ना हो आगे कोई terii chaahat ke sivaa dil me.n naa chaahe.n ko.ii, terii baaho.n ke sivaa naa ho panaahe.n ko.ii, gar mohabbat ke sivaa or ho mazhab, kaafir, phir sivaa tere KHudaa or naa ho aage ko.ii, चाहें - desires पनाहें – shelters Here, in this final section of the song, the Sufi romantic thoughts are intensely captured, expressing, there be no desire left in me other than your love, there be no shelters left for me other than your arms. If there be any religion at all other than love then there be no God other than you yourself in front of me. The song thus leaves the listener with deep sense of gratitude towards their respective beloved and towards the almighty God for granting such beautiful gift of feeling of love, to us, human beings.
