kabhi ishq karo aur phir dekho

is aag mein jalte rehne se

kabhi dil par aanch nahin aati

kabhi rang kharaab nahin hota

fall in love once...and see

why burning in this fire

never scorches the heart

never fades the colors

love

aag (5)

fire

jalte (4)

light up, burn

aanch (2)

those that weren’t got burnt
