Pehli Dafa — Lyrics

Pehli dafa dekha tujhe toh dil yeh bole Yeh mohabbat hai ya koi jaadu hai Tere hothon pe muskaan, aankhon mein sapne Pehli baar hua ehsaas yeh naya Pehli dafa yeh dil se guzarish hai Tumse milne ki khwahish hai Pehli dafa ishq ne pukara Tum hi ho meri manzil aur sahara Raahon mein teri chalte hue socha Zindagi ab adhoori nahi lagti Pehli dafa yeh jadoo sa hua Tum bin ab toh har pal suna lagta Pehli dafa yeh dil ki yeh fariyaad Tum hi ho khushiyon ka har mausam Aankhon se aankhen mila ke kaha Pehli dafa yeh pyar ka paigham hai

Translated by My Geet AI Beats

The first time I saw you, my heart said Is this love or some magic A smile on your lips, dreams in your eyes For the first time I felt this new feeling For the first time this request from the heart The desire to meet you For the first time love called out You are my destination and support While walking on your paths I thought Life no longer feels incomplete For the first time this magic happened Without you every moment now feels empty For the first time this plea of the heart You are every season of happiness Meeting eyes with eyes it said For the first time this is love's message
