दिल चीज़ क्या है हिन्दी लिरिक्स

दिल चीज़ क्या है, आप मेरी जान लीजिये
बस एक बार मेरा कहा मान लीजिये

इस अंजुमन में आपको आना है बार-बार
दीवार-ओ-दर को गौर से पहचान लीजिये
दिल चीज़ क्या है…

माना के दोस्तों को नहीं दोस्ती का पास
लेकिन ये क्या के गैर का अहसान लीजिये
दिल चीज़ क्या है…

कहिये तो आसमां को ज़मीं पर उतार लाएं
मुश्किल नहीं है कुछ भी अगर ठान लीजिये
दिल चीज़ क्या है…

Dil Cheez Kya Hai Lyrics Meaning (English Translation)

Dil Cheez Kya Hai, Aap Meri Jaan Lijiye
Bas Ek Baar Mera Kaha Maan Lijiye
(What is this heart, take my life
Just for once, heed my words)

Is Anjuman Mein Aapko Aana Hai Baar-Baar
Deewaar-O-Dar Ko Gaur Se Pehchaan Lijiye
Dil Cheez Kya Hai…
(You have to come to this gathering again and again
Recognize the walls and doors carefully)

Maana Ke Doston Ko Nahin Dosti Ka Paas
Lekin Yeh Kya Ke Ghair Ka Ehsaan Lijiye
Dil Cheez Kya Hai…
(Agreed that friends don’t value friendship
But why is it that you accept favors from strangers)

dil cheez kya hai aap meri jaan lijiye lyrics English Translation

Kahiye Toh Aasmaan Ko Zameen Par Utaar Laayein
Mushkil Nahin Hai Kuchh Bhi Agar Thaan Lijiye
Dil Cheez Kya Hai…
(Say the word and we’ll bring the sky down to the earth
Nothing is difficult if you resolve to do it)
