pehli baar tumko maine jab dekha tha
sun lo yaar ki o maine kya socha tha
laga ki tumse milna tha tabaahi
iss dil ko hi samjhaane maine kaha
iss raste na jaana kabhi raahi
yeh tere liye hai hi nahi
dil mera bol utha hone do ab jo bhi ho
darna kya, bhala-bura hone do ab jo bhi ho
kya dil ki sun li tumne, kya raah chun li tumne
haa dil ki sun li maine, haa raah chun li maine

leharo me jaise lehre mile
aise mil gayi dilo ki dhadkan
chalte hi chalte raaho me
khoye khoye hai dono tan mann
hum paas aaye to kyun paas aaye
socho toh baat hai zaraa si
kuch tum bhi pyaase pyaase the kab se
main bhi tha pyaasa pyaasa
lagaa ki tumse milna tha tabaahi
iss dil ko hi samjhaane maine kaha
iss raste na jaana kabhi raahi
yeh tere liye hai hi nahi
dil mera bol utha hone do ab jo bhi ho
darna kya, bhala-bura hone do ab jo bhi ho
kya dil ki sun li tumne, kya raah chun li tumne
haa dil ki sun li maine, haa raah chun li maine

pehli baar, pehli baar sun lo yaar
pehli baar, pehli baar sun lo yaar
pehli baar

The first time I saw you,
My friend, hear what I then knew.
I thought meeting you was ruin,
To my heart I whispered then,
Never tread this path, my ruin,
For it is not meant for you.
My heart then cried, let come what may,
Fear not, let the good and bad hold sway.
Did you heed your heart's call, did you choose this way?
Yes, I heeded my heart, yes, I chose this way.

As waves merge in the sea,
So did our hearts' rhythms meet.
Walking on, down the road,
Lost in each other, body and soul.
If we came close, why did we come?
Think, it is a simple thing.
You too were thirsty, long ago,
And I, too, was thirsty.
I thought meeting you was ruin,
To my heart I whispered then,
Never tread this path, my ruin,
For it is not meant for you.
My heart then cried, let come what may,
Fear not, let the good and bad hold sway.
Did you heed your heart's call, did you choose this way?
Yes, I heeded my heart, yes, I chose this way.

The first time, the first time, my friend, hear this,
The first time, the first time, my friend, hear this,
The first time.
