jab nind na aaye jab yaad sataaye
When sleep doesn't come; when memory torments
jab dil ghabaraaye jab gam tadapaaye
When the heart is perturbed; when sorrow flares
ise kya kahi'e mere rab tu bata
What do you call this, my god, you tell me
ishq hai...
It's love...
ishq haar bhi hai ishq jit bhi hai
Love is defeat and love is also victory;
dil ka dushman bhi hai dil ka mit bhi hai
it's the enemy of the heart,
and it's also the heart's friend
ishq hai...
It's love...
ishq haar bhi hai ishq jit bhi hai
Love is defeat and love is also victory.
kabhi ishq banke shama jagmagaaye
Sometimes love arises and sets light blazing
kabhi banke gam ka andhera yeh chhaaye
Sometimes it becomes the darkness of sorrow
and spreads (like a shadow).

ishq hai git bhi ishq hai raag bhi
Love is a song; it is also a raga
dil jala de magar ishq voh aag bhi
Burn your heart (with anger about it),
but that fire is love as well
aag lagaaye hosh udaaye
It will light a fire and send your wits flying
dil ko sataaye jaan gawaaye
It will torture your heart,
it will cause your soul to sing.
ek diwaanagi hai ise kya kahuun
It's an insanity; what shall I call this!
ishq hai ishq hai haan yehi ishq hai
It's love; it's love; yes, this is love itself.
ishq haar bhi hai ishq jit bhi hai
Love is defeat and love is also victory;
dil ka dushman bhi hai dil ka mit bhi hai
it's the enemy of the heart,
and it's also the heart's friend
ishq hai ishq hai haan yehi ishq hai
It's love; it's love;
yes, this is love itself.
kabhi ishq dil mein khushi leke aaye
Sometimes love enters the heart
bearing happiness;
kabhi ishq aansu in aankhon mein laaye
sometimes love brings tears into these eyes.
kabhi ishq dil mein khushi leke aaye

bearing happiness;
kabhi ishq aansu in aankhon mein laaye

ishq mein hai khushi ishq mein dard bhi
In love there is happiness;
there is pain in love as well.
is ke sau ruup hain ishq hai zindagi
There are a hundred forms of love; love is life.
khwaab dikhaaye phir chaukaaye
It will show you dreams, then jolt you awake.
dil ko dukhaaye chain churaaye
It will pain your heart and steal your peace.
ishq aakhir hai kya main bhi hairaan huun
In the end, what is love? I too am amazed.
ishq hai ishq hai haan yehi ishq hai
It's love; it's love; yes, this is love itself.
jab nind na aaye jab yaad sataaye
When sleep doesn't come;
when memory torments
jab dil ghabaraaye jab gam tadapaaye
When the heart is perturbed;
when sorrow flares
