Ishq Shava Lyrics Translation (Jab Tak Hai Jaan)

Movie: Jab Tak Hai Jaan
Music: A R Rahman
Lyrics: Gulzar
Singers: Raghav Mathur, Shilpa Rao

Ishq shava.. mushq shava..
khushamdeed-e-Marhaba..

Love is cure, fragrance is cure,
Welcome, Welcome them..
(as in, don't hide them, enjoy them. As per a Hindi proverb, love and smell can't be hidden, and here Gulzar sir seems to be saying that one should welcome them, enjoy them, instead of trying to hide them)

Mila mila mila mila ankh milaa
Laga laga laga laga aag lagaa
Zara zara zara zara paas to aa
khushamedeed-e-Marhaba

meet me in the eye, (prov: fall in love with me)
begin a fire.. (prov: Do something passionate)
come close a little..
Welcome, Welcome..

Ishq shavaa.. mushq shavaa..
khushamadeed-e-Marhaba

Shauk hai shock se lagne ka
Saans mein saans uljhaa to zara

I've like to have shocks,
come, entangle my breaths in yours..

Aaj ki raat ye kiski hai
Kal ki raat teri na meri
Chaand utha chal toss karein
Chehra tera aur chaal meri

To whom does this night belong?
Tomorrow is neither yours nor mine..
Pick the moon, let's toss (to decide),
The face will be yours and turn mine..

Ishq shava.. mushq shava..
khushamadeed-e-Marahaba

Dil dariya hai ruktaa nahin
Paani pe chal ke dekh zaraa

The heart is a river, doesn't stop,
sometime try and walk on water..

Baadalo pe paanv rakho kabhi
Unmein zameen nahin hoti

some time put a step on clouds,
there is no earth there (that would make the surface of cloud)..

Dil ki hadd behad hogi
Koi lakeer nahi hoti hai

The limit of heart would be limitless,
and there is no limit there..

Ishq shava.. Mushq shava..
khushaamdeed e marhaba..
