Main Shayar To Nahin – Bobby [1973]
Directors
Main shayar to nahin, magar ae haseen
I’m no poet, but my pretty one…
Jab se dekha maine tujhko, mujhko shaayari aa gayi
Ever since I have seen you, poetry has just come to me
Main aashiq to nahin, magar ae haseen
I’ve never been in love before, but dear lovely one…
Jab se dekha maine tujhko, mujhko aashiqui aa gayi
Ever since I set eyes on you, I’ve fallen in love
Main shayar to nahin…
I’m no poet
Pyaar ka naam maine suna tha magar
I had heard of love, no doubt
Pyaar kya hai, yeh mujhko nahin thi khabar
but I didn’t know what it was
Main to uljha raha uljhanon ki tarha
I remained confused as confusions generally are
Doston mein raha dushmanon ki tarha
and remained unpopular among friends
Main dushman to nahin magar ae haseen
but I’m no foe… my dear pretty one
Jab se dekha maine tujhko, mujhko dosti aa gayi
having seen you, I’ve learned to make friends
Main shayar to nahin
I’m no poet
Sochta hoon agar main dua maangta
Had I lift my hands and pray
Haath apne uthaakar main kya maangta
What would I have asked for
Jab se tujhse mohabbat main karne laga
but ever since I’ve fallen in love with you
Tab se jaise ibaadat main karne laga
I’ve started to pray
Main kaafir to nahin, magar ae haseen
I’m no disbeliever, but dear lovely one
Jab se dekha maine tujhko, mujhko bandagi aa gayi
Ever since I have seen you, I have become a true believer
Main shayar to nahin…
I’m no poet
