hawaizada dil, hawaizada dil
ba-adab aji bamulaiza hoshiyaar
ishq ki bandook liye karne shikar
ba-adab aji bamulaiza hoshiyaar

ishq ki bandook liye karne shikar
be-mulk riyaasat ka nawabzada dil
thoko thoko salam aaya hawaizada dil
hawaizada dil, hawaizada

injar pinjar dhile hain khasta haal dil
koyi to uthaa le aake rasta me re dil
injar pinjar dhile hain khasta haal dil
koyi to uthaa le aake rasta me re dil
hum bhi to ek laute hai aisi bewakufiya kon kare

hasino ke qadmo me khilauna kaanch ka kon dhare
bechaara hai, garib hai thokare nasib hain
tootata phootata rehta nazuk sada dil
thoko thoko salam aaya hawaizaada dil

raat ek hasin mem taro se jadi
shawl me silke chand akdi wo khadi
raat ek hasin mem taro se jadi
shawl me silke chand akdi wo khadi

humne udheda chand, udhada raaz ek hai
meri pocket ke naap ka asmaan me bhi chhed hai
ek ladki hai noto pe smile phir bhi hontho pe
rou me bechunga pauna-aadha dil

thoko thoko salam aaya hawaizaada dil
hawaizada dil, hawaizada

A heart airborne, a heart airborne,
With reverence, pay heed, be warned.
Love's gun in hand, the hunt begun,
With reverence, pay heed, be warned.
Love's gun in hand, the hunt begun.
A prince of a realm unseen, a heart,
Salute! Salute! The airborne heart.
A heart airborne, a heart airborne.

The cage is frail, the heart in despair,
Will someone lift my heart from the snare?
The cage is frail, the heart in despair,
Will someone lift my heart from the snare?
We, too, are lost, who'd be so naive?
Who'd place a glass toy at beauty's sleeve?
Poor thing, a beggar, fate's cruel decree,
Forever shattered, fragile, eternally.
Salute! Salute! The airborne heart.

A night, a beauty, stars her attire,
A silk shawl, the moon, a stiff desire.
A night, a beauty, stars her attire,
A silk shawl, the moon, a stiff desire.
I unraveled the moon, a secret I hold,
A hole in the sky, matching my fold.
A girl, smiles bloom on currency's face,
I'll weep and sell half a heart's embrace.
Salute! Salute! The airborne heart.
A heart airborne, a heart airborne.
