Shahid Mallya – Tere Alava Lyrics In English (Translation)

Jab Se Dekhi Sooratiya Teri
Man Mein Baithi Mooratiya Teri
Chhu Ke Sajni Tera Sandal
Mere Dil Ka Soona Jungal

Since I first saw your beautiful face
Your image sits in my heart
Your sandal touches me, beloved
The lonely forest of my heart

Chanderi Ka Mela Laage Re
Mohe Naina Thage Tere
Lagen Phir Bhi Sage Mere
Baaki Jag Sautela Laage Re

It feels like a Chanderi fair
Your eyes have fooled me
Even so, they still feel like my own
The rest of the world feels like a stepchild

Tere Alava Aaya Na Koi
Tere Alava Bhaaya Na Koi
Chhaila Ke Mann Ko Tere Alava Re

No one comes except you
No one else is dear but you
To the lover’s heart, except you

Tere Alava Soojhe Na Koi
Tere Alava Reejhe Na Koi
Raanjhe Nayan Ko Tere Alava Re

No one else understands except you
No one else cares except you
To the beloved’s eyes, except you

Dhaani Dhaani Chunar Teri
Neendein Hi Meri
Mui Neendein Hi Meri Le Udi

Your saffron-colored scarf
My only sleep
You are my only sleep, take flight

Khaari Khaari Khaamoshiyon Mein
Baatein Ye Teri
Jaise Baatein Ye Teri Revdi

In the deep silence
These are your words
Like your words, Revdi

Jab Se Dekhi Sooratiya Teri
Man Mein Baithi Mooratiya Teri

Since I saw your face
Your image sits in my mind

Chhabeela Rangeela Baanka
Aisa Daala Tune Daaka
Khoyi Sab Main Tujhe Paa Ke Re

A vivid, colorful image
You set such a trap
I have lost everything, having found you

Mohe Naina Thage Tere
Lagen Phir Bhi Sage Mere
Baaki Jag Sautela Laage Re

Your eyes deceive me
I still consider them my guide
The rest of the world feels like a stepchild

Tu Hi To Chandi Tu Hi Rupaiya
Tu Hi Lutera Tu Hi Sipaiya
Dunja Na Koi Tere Alava Re

You are the silver, you are the money
You are the thief, you are the soldier
There is no one else, except you

Tere Alava Soojhe Na Koi
Tere Alava Reejhe Na Koi
Raanjhe Nayan Ko Tere Alava Re

No one else understands except you
No one else is like you
Raanjha’s eyes, except you

Tu Meri Mauje Tu Hi To Naiya
Tu Hi Kinara Tu Hi Khevaiya
Duja Na Koi Tere Alava Re

You are my joy, you are the boat
You are the shore, you are the home
There is no one else, except you

Main Hun Diya To Tu Meri Baati
Main Hun Siyahi Tu Meri Paati
Duja Na Koi Tere Alava Re

I am the lamp, you are my wick
I am the ink, you are my page
There is no one else, except you
