Insaanile Lyrics English Translation – Hanan Shah

Insanile Laavanya Kottaarathin Kallaal Ninne Hijaabil Thunniya Thaare
With the beauty of humanity as the fortress wall, you were veiled in modesty.

Hilalinte Maanathe Vaira Kallin Muthal Ente Kinaavu Kilukkiya Haale
In the dignity of the crescent moon, from a jewel-like stone, my dreams sparkled alive.

Kaniye Kaniye Mullappoovin Chiriyil Aalam Thanne
Oh girl, like a thorned flower’s smile, you are the very essence of grace.

Pathiye Pathiye Ozhukipokum Poolalle
Aren’t you like a flower that flows away with the stream?

Maname Maname Lailinazham Pola Naanakkuzhiye
Oh heart, oh heart, in the beauty of Laili’s rhythm, I’m drowning in desire.

Kande Kande Kalbil Arabana Muttaaye
I saw it—I saw the Arab rhythms blooming inside my heart like a pearl.

Insaanile Laavanyam Kottaarathin Kallal Ninne Hijabil Thunniya Thare
With the grace of humanity as the palace wall, you were veiled in modesty.

Hilalinte Maanathe Vairak Kallin Muthaal Ente Kinaavu Kilukkiya Haale
With the honor of the crescent moon and the sparkle of a diamond, my dreams were stirred.

Lailaante Nilavathinale Majnuunayi Maarum Pole
Like how moonlit Laila turned Majnu mad in love, I too transformed.

Jannaathile Baabin Padiyelaaye
As if standing at the gates of paradise.

Alivaarnnoru Vaakku Paranjje Erivulloru Noottam Erinje
You spoke a word full of gentleness, and threw a glance burning with passion.

Anuraagapperumazhayale Nanannje
I got drenched in a downpour of deep affection.

Kaniye Kaniye Mullappoovin Chiriyil Aalam Thanne
Oh girl, in the thorny smile of a jasmine, you’re the fragrance of grace itself.

Patiye Patiye Ozhukippokum Polalle
Aren’t you like a stream flowing gently away?

Maname Maname Lailinnazham Pola Naanakkuzhiye
Oh heart, oh heart, like the melody of Laili, I melt in longing.

Kande Kande Qalbil Arabana Muttaye
I saw it—I saw an Arabian pearl blooming in my heart.

Insanile Laavanya Kottaarathin Kallal Ninne Hijabil Thunniyathare
With the beauty of humanity as castle walls, you wrapped yourself in the veil of modesty.

Hilalinte Manathe Vairak Kallin Muthaal Ente Kinavu Kilukkiya Haale
In the honor of the crescent moon, from a sparkling gem, my dreams shimmered to life.
