DOPE: "In aankhon ki masti ke" From "Umrao Jaan"

"Umrao Jaan is one of my favorite Bollywood movies.... it's not my number one (Devdas), but it's definitely in my top five of all time (Hmmm... I might have to blog about that one day!)..

"In aankhon ki masti ke" ("The lust of these eyes") is probably the most flossing-ist song I've ever heard in this type of film.... it's kind of like a Bollywood version of "So Fresh, So Clean"... LOL I am including the lyrics (with translation) below, so you will see what I mean. Enjoy!



In Aankhon Ki Masti

Lyrics Courtesy of HindiLyrics.net


In aankhon ki masti ke, aah aah aah aah
The lust of these eyes

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands intoxicated by the lust of these eyes

Mastaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands intoxicated

In aankhon se vaabasta
Attached to these eyes

In aankhon se vaabasta afsaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of legends attached to these eyes

Afsaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of legends

In aankhon ki masti ke
The lust of these eyes


Ek tum hi nahin tanha, aah aah
You are not the only one alone

Ek tum hi nahin tanha ulfat mein meri rusva
You are not alone in love with me, disgraced

Ulfat mein meri rusva
In love with me, disgraced

Is shaher mein tum jaise
In this city, like you

Is shaher mein tum jaise deewaane hazaaron hain
In this city, there are thousands of madmen like you

Deewaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of madmen

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands intoxicated by the lust of these eyes

In aankhon ki masti ke, aah aah aah
The lust of these eyes


Ek sirf humi mai ko, ek sirf humi
Only I, only I

Ek sirf humi mai ko aankhon se pilaate hain
Only I serve liquor with my eyes

Aankhon se pilaate hain
Serve with my eyes

Kehne ko to duniya mein
To say it, in the world

Kehne ko to duniya mein maikhaane hazaaron hain
To say it, in the world there are thousands of bars

Maikhaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of bars

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands intoxicated by the lust of these eyes

In aankhon ki masti ke
The lust of these eyes


Is shamm-e-faroza ko, aah aah
This luminous candle

Is shamm-e-faroza ko aandhi se darraate ho
You are making this luminous candle scared of a hurricane

Aandhi se darraate ho
Scared of a hurricane

Is shamm-e-faroza ke
Of this luminous candle

Is shamm-e-faroza ke parvaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of lovers of this luminous candle

Parvaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of lovers

In aankhon ki masti ke mastaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands intoxicated by the lust of these eyes

In aankhon se vaabasta afsaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of legends attached to these eyes

Afsaane hazaaron hain
There are thousands of legends

In aankhon ki masti ke
The lust of these eyes
