ANKHIYON KE JHAROKHON SE..

I found this song after a very very long time, which I love so much..
Its about a woman who is deeply in love, vulnerable, innocent, simple and full of humility for her love, grateful. She has some fears.. but then, has a stronger intricate belief.
Its almost devotional.. but then again, those are feelings of an indian woman. I realised at the core, an indian woman is so full of love, a giver . Thats why there are so many customs and rituals and prayers for men. Men are their gods, their protectors. An indian woman is almost fragile and delicate in essence. (of course she is strong too)

(It's in Hindi and I've attempted to interpret/translate it into English)

Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se Maine Dekha Jo Saanware
From the windows/eyelashes of my eyes..when I saw you, my love..
Tum Door Nazar Aaye Badi Door Nazar Aaye
you seemed so far way..very far away...

Band Karke Jharokhon Ko Zara Baithee Jo Sochne
When I closed the windows/eyelashes and sat to think/ponder..
Mann Mein Tumhi Muskaye Man Mein Tumhi Muskaye
I saw you smiling/warming in my heart/mind, I saw only ( the only thing that was imp) you smiling..

Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se ..

Ek Mann Tha Mere Paas Woh Ab Khone Laga Hai
I had only one mind/being.. but now it seems, I am losing that..
Paakar Tujhe Hai Mujhe Kuchh Hone Laga Hai
(After meeting you)..sigh, somethin's happening to me.. (there's been a change)

Ek Tere Bharose Pe Sab Baithee Hoon Bhool Ke
On your faith/trust..I'm sitting(ready to) forget everything else (the sorrows/past)
Yoon Hi Umar Guzar Jaye Tere Saath Guzar Jaye
Let life/age just pass/transgress just like that, let life progess/evolve with you..

Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se..

Jeeti Hoon Tujhe Dekh Ke Marti Hoon Tumhi Pe
I live looking at you, I die for you..
Tum Ho Jahan Saajan Meri Duniya Hai Wahin Pe
Wherever you are my love, my world is right there..

Din Raat Dua Maange Mera Man Tere Waaste
Day n night, my heart asks for your blessings/your well-being ..
Kabhi Apni Ummeedon Ka Kahin Phool Na Murjhaye
Let not the flower/bud of our hopes/dreams wither away..

Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se

Main Jab Se Tere Pyar Ke Rangon Mein Rangi Hoon
Since the time I've been coloured in the colour of your love..
Jaagte Hue Soi Nahin Neendon Mein Jagi Hoon
In awakening, I haven't slept..in sleep, I've been awake..

Mere Pyar Bhare Sapne Kahin Koi Na Chheen Le
My love-filled dreams.. that someone/something might not snatch away..
Man Soch Ke Ghabraye Yahi Soch Ke Ghabraye
My mind/heart shudders .. (when i think of this) it shudders..
