ruk ruk ke kehte hai, jhuk jhuk ke rehte hai
ruk ruk ke kehte hai, jhuk jhuk ke rehte hai
dil ka mizaaj ishqiya, dil ka mizaaj ishqiya
tanha hai logo me, logo me tanhaayi
dil ka mizaaj ishqiya, dil ka mizaaj ishqiya
chote bhi khaaye aur gungunaaye
aisa hi tha ye, aisa hi hai ye
masti me rehta hai mastaana saudayi
dil ka mizaaj ishqiya, dil ka mizaaj ishqiya

sharmeela sharmeela parde me rehta hai
dardo ke chhonke bhi chupke se sehta hai
nikalta nahi hai gali se kabhi
nikal jaaye to dil bhatak jaata hai
arey bachcha hai aakhir bahek jaata hai
khwaabo me rehta hai bachpan se harjaai
dil ka mizaaj ishqiya, dil ka mizaaj ishqiya

gusse me balkhana, gairo se jal jaana
mushqil me aaye to waado se tal jaana
ulajhne ki isko yu aadat nahi
magar bewafa ri sharafat nahi
ye jazbaati ho ke chhalak jaata hai
ishq me hoti hai thodi si garmaayi
dil ka mizaaj ishqiya, are dil ka mizaaj ishqiya

ruk ruk ke ishqiya, jhuk jhuk ke ishqiya
ruk ruk ke kehte hai, kehte hai
jhuk jhuk ke rehte hai, rehte hai
ish ish ishqiya ishqiya ishqiya

It stumbles and sighs, it bows and it bends,
It stumbles and sighs, it bows and it bends.
The heart's temperament, oh so love-struck,
The heart's temperament, oh so love-struck.
Alone in the crowd, in the crowd, a lone soul,
The heart's temperament, oh so love-struck.

It's wounded and sings, this is its tale, this is its truth,
Lost in its revelry, a mad, drunken youth.
The heart's temperament, oh so love-struck.

Shy, so shy, hidden behind a veil,
It bears the barbs of pain, in silence, frail.
It seldom ventures out into the street,
For if it wanders, the heart can't help but stray,
A child at heart, it often goes astray.
It dwells in dreams, a wanderer from the start,
The heart's temperament, oh so love-struck.

It bristles in anger, burns for others' gain,
When troubles arrive, it shirks the promise made.
It isn't accustomed to complexities,
Yet, it lacks the grace to be untrue.
In passion's surge, it overflows with tears,
In love, a little heat is often found.
The heart's temperament, oh, the heart's love-struck.

Stumbling, love-struck, bowing, love-struck,
It stumbles and sighs, it says it all,
It bows and it bends, it stays this way.
Love, love, love-struck, love-struck.
