Zaroori Tha Lyrics English Translation - Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Lafz Kitne Hi Tere Pairon Se, Lipte Honge
Countless words must have clung to your feet
Tune Jab Aakhiri Khat Mera Jalaya Hoga
When you burned my last letter
Tune Jab Phool Kitabon Se Nikale Honge
When you removed the flowers from the books
Dene Wala Bhi Tujhe Yaad Toh Aaya Hoga
You must have remembered the one who gave them
Teri Aankhon Ke Dariya Ka Utarna Bhi Zaroori Tha
It was necessary for the river in your eyes to calm
Mohabbat Bhi Zaroori Thi, Bichadna Bhi Zaroori Tha
Love was necessary, but separation was too
Zaroori Tha Ke Hum Dono Tawaaf-E Arzoo Karte
It was necessary for us to circle the Kaaba of desires
Magar Phir Arzoo’on Ka Bikharna Bhi Zaroori Tha
But it was necessary for those desires to scatter too
Batao Yaad Hai Tumko Woh Jab Dil Ko Churaya Tha
Tell me, do you remember when you stole my heart?
Churayi Cheez Ko Tumne Khuda Ka Ghar Banaya Tha
You made the home of God of “stolen things (Girl Referring to her heart)”.
Woh Jab Kehte The Mera Naam Tum Tasbeeh Mein Padhte Ho
When you said you recited my name like prayer beads
Mohabbat Ki Namazo Ko Kaza Karne Se Darte Ho
And feared missing the prayers of love
Magar Ab Yaad Aata Hai Woh Baatein Thi Mehaz Baatein
But now I realize those were just words
Kahin Baaton Hi Baaton Mein Mukarna Bhi Zaroori Tha
Somewhere in all those words, betrayal was also necessary
Teri Aankhon Ke Dariya Ka Utarna Bhi Zaroori Tha
It was necessary for the river in your eyes to calm
Wahin Hai Sooratein Apni, Wahin Main Hoon Wahin Tum Ho
Our faces are still the same, I’m still same, and so are you
Magar Khoya Hua Hoon Main, Magar Tum Bhi Kahin Gumm Ho
But I am lost, and perhaps, so are you
Mohabbat Mein Daga Ki Thi Jo Kaafir The So Kaafir Hain
Those who betrayed in love are infidels, and remain so
Mili Hain Manzilein Phir Bhi Musafir The Musafir Hain
Though destinations were reached, travelers remain travelers
Tere Dil Ke Nikaale Hum Kahan Bhatke Kahan Pahunche
Cast out of your heart, I wandered and reached unknown places
Magar Bhatke Toh Yaad Aaya, Bhatakna Bhi Zaroori Tha
But while lost, I realized that wandering was also necessary
Mohabbat Bhi Zaroori Thi, Bichadna Bhi Zaroori Tha
Love was necessary, but separation was too
Zaroori Tha Ke Hum Dono Tawaef-E Arzoo Karte
It was necessary for us to circle the Kaaba of desires
Magar Phir Arzoo’on Ka Bikharna Bhi Zaroori Tha
But it was necessary for those desires to scatter too
Teri Aankhon Ke Dariya Ka Utarna Bhi Zaroori Tha
It was necessary for the river in your eyes to calm
