Kya Hai Mohabbat (with meaning)- Ek Dheewana Tha

The best music of A R Rahman according to me is his initial period in Tamil cinema. And the music he delivers in Hindi and English movies is not much upto those levels. Jodha Akbar was one exception to that. Even in this latest hindi movie he has used the same tunes from Vinaithandi varuvaya. One additional song is different from the original. This particular song now seems to be best pick of the album. Javed Akthar yet again plays his magic and tells one how confusing and pure love is. And hearing a song in ARR voice after a long time with such a tune is just the best one can ask for. ARR has the knack of choosing the right song to sing for himslef every time he does it.

Mohabbat hai ek khwab ya ek junoon hai

Kisi ko mohabbat agar hai to kyun hai

Mohabbat mein to sirf beta biyaan hain

To phir kyun mohabbat mein dil ko sukoon hai... sukoon hai

Koi ye bata de ki kya hai mohabbat.. mohabbat..

Mohabbat hai ek khwab ya ek junoon hai

Kisi ko mohabbat agar hai to kyun hai

Mohabbat mein to sirf beta biyaan hain

To phir kyun mohabbat mein dil ko sukoon hai... sukoon hai

Koi ye bata de ki kya hai mohabbat.. mohabbat..

[CHORUS]

Mohabbat hai dariya, Mohabbat kinara

Mohabbat sitam hai, Mohabbat sahara

Mohabbat idhar bhi, Mohabbat udhar bhi

Mohabbat nazar hai, Mohabbat nazaara

Koi ye bata de bata de bata de

[M]

Mohabbat mein sab kuchh haseen lagta hai kyun

Sitam jo kare dil nasheen lagta hai kyun

Mohabbat hai jis se wo dil tode bhi to

Bura phir bhi dil ko nahi lagta hai kyun

Koi ye bata de ki kya hai mohabbat.. mohobbat..

[BGM]

Na samjha koi wo ada hai mohabbat

Ki inaam hai ya saza hai mohabbat

Kisi ne kaha hai to kyun ye kahan hai

Mohabbat khuda hai khuda hai mohabbat

Koi ye bata de ki kya hai mohabbat..

Koi ye bata de ki kya hai mohabbat..

Koi ye bata de ki kya hai mohabbat..

Koi ye bata de ki kya hai mohabbat.. mohabbat..

Translation for the above song

Is love a dream or a passion?

if someone is in love, why is it so,

there is only restlessness in love,

then why is the heart relieved in love..

someone tell what is love

love is a river, love is the shore,

love is torture, love is support,

love is here, and love is there,

love is the eye, and love is the scenery,

someone tell (me), someone tell...

why does everything seem beautiful in love,

the one who tortures, why does one still look heartwarming,

the one who we love, even if they break our heart,

why don't the heart count the as bad..

someone tell what's love..

that no one understood such a style love is

whether love's a prize or a punishment

someone has said, and why have they said,

that love is god, god is love..

someone tell me what is love
