Apne honthon pe sajaana chahta with English Translation

Apnay hothon pe sajaana chahta huun
I want to talk about you all the time

Aa tujhay main gungunana chahta huun
I want to sing and hum your name all the time

Koi aansoo tery daaman par gira gar
If ever any tear fell on your lap

Boond ko moti banana chahta huun
I want to transform every drop into a pearl

Thak gaya main kartay kartay yaad tujko
I have literally gotten tired of remembering you

Ab tujhay main yaad aana chahta huun
Now I want you to remember me

Cha raha hai saari basti mein andhera
It is getting dark all over the town
 
Roshni ko ghar jalana chahta huun
I want to put my house on fire, just for lighting

Aakhri hichki teray zaano pay aayey
I wish to take my last breath in your lap

Maut bhi main shayraana chahta huun
I even want my death to be poetic
