Gulabo Lyrics English Translation – Arpit Bala

Kyu Tu Lagti Mujhko Gulabo Si
Why do you seem like a rose to me?

Kaato Ke Tu Beech Me Dushman Si
Yet among the thorns, you feel like an enemy.

Dil Noch Ke Mera Kaanto Se Gulaabo Bhagi…
You scratch my heart with thorns like a deceptive rose.

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
She said, justify my love as if I knew you.

As If I Did Know You No
As if I really knew you, no.

She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
She said, justify my love as if I loved you.

As If I Didnt Try Tho
As if I never even tried.

Gulabo Main Bhavra Betha Kaanto Pe Tere
O rose, I am like a bee sitting on your thorns.

Par Tu Chubti Nahi Kyu In Pavas Mahino Mein
But why don’t you sting me in these monsoon months?

Jhoote Raso Se Bhari Apni Gulaabo Toh Phir
If your rose is filled with false nectar, then tell me—

Sunle Meethe Ke Pyaase Teekhi 2 Baate
Why do your words sting when I crave sweetness?

Woh Chakh Leti Do Rishte Jhoote Bas Bachte Waade
She tastes two fake relationships, leaving behind empty promises.

Gulaab Ki Pankhudio Me Jhooti Rasmo Ki Baatein
In the petals of the rose, she hides false traditions.

Woh Karleti Hai Kabhi Kabaar Haan Kabhi Kabaar Haan Mujhse
Sometimes, yes, sometimes, she lets me in.

Main Jaanta Hu Sach Uska Toh Tabhi Gulabo Na Chubhe Mujhko
I know her truth, and that’s why her thorns don’t hurt me.

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
She said, justify my love as if I knew you.

As If I Did Know You No
As if I really knew you, no.

She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
She said, justify my love as if I loved you.

As If I Didnt Try Tho
As if I never even tried.

Mai Maanta Nahi Ki Tu Dushman Thi Par
I don’t believe you were ever my enemy, but…

But I Know Tujhe Kho Ke Kara Khudko Haasil
But I know that by losing you, I found myself.

Tujhe Kho Ke Hee Bana Tere Kaabil
By losing you, I became worthy of you.

Ab Ni Chahta Ki Mile Mujhe Wapis But I Know I Know
I don’t want you back anymore, but I know, I know…

Ki Tu Yahpe Nahi Hai
That you’re not here anymore.

Mere Kabil Nahi Hai Aisi Bahot Saari Baatein
There are many things that aren’t meant for me.

Jinse Waqif Nahi Hai Kaisi Saazish Rachi Ki
Things you’re unaware of—what kind of conspiracy was planned?

Ho Ab Baarish Rahi Hai Ab Manata Tyohar Hoon
Now it’s raining, and I celebrate festivals alone.

Par Tu Shaamil Nahi Hai
But you’re not a part of them anymore.

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
She said, “Prove your love as if you truly knew me.”

As If I Did Know You No
“As if I ever really knew you—no.”

She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
She said, “Prove my love as if I actually loved you.”

As If I Didnt Try Tho
“As if I never even tried.”

She Said Justify My Love As If I Knew You
She said, “Prove your love as if you truly knew me.”

As If I Did Know You No
“As if I ever really knew you—no.”

She Said Justify My Love As If I Loved You
She said, “Prove my love as if I actually loved you.”

As If I Didnt Try Tho
“As if I never even tried.”

Aaj Kal Kehta Nahi Par Aati Ghin Hai Tujhsay
These days, I don’t say it, but I feel disgusted by you.

Nazar Na Lag Jaaye Toh Chup Sa Rehta Hu
I stay silent, afraid of jinxing things.

Kahin Kho Na Du Is Ghinonepan Ko Me
I don’t want to lose this feeling of disgust.

Waise Toh Tumko Bhi Mai Kho Chuka Hoon
Anyway, I’ve already lost you.

Par Seekha Bhi Khone Ko Maine Knona
But I also learned that losing isn’t really losing.

Toh Kya Hi Khoya Maine Tumhara Hokar Bhi Na Hona
So what did I really lose when you were never truly mine?

Hoke Saath Me Rona Dilkush Andheri Woh Raate
Crying together on those dark yet blissful nights.

Ban Jaata Mai Tera Khilona
I used to become your toy.

Khoo Gaya Hoon Gulaabo Gulabo Mai Kho Gaya Hoon
I’ve lost myself, O Rose, I’m lost within you.

Khoo Gaya Hoon Gulaabo Gulabo Mai Kho Gaya Hoon
I’ve lost myself, O Rose, I’m lost within you.
