Burman, Rahul Dev & Javed Akhtar Ek Ladki Ko Dekha (1942 - A Love Story) Lyrics

ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa laga...
When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like...
jaise khilata gulaab
like a blooming rose;
jaise shaayar ka khvaab
like a poet's dream;
jaise ujalii kiran
like a glowing ray of light;
jaise ban me.n hiran
like a deer in the forest;
jaise chaa.ndanii raat
like a moonlit night;
jaise naramii baat
like a soft word;
jaise mandir me.n ho ek jalta diya
like a candle burning in the temple.
ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa lagaa...
When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like...
jaise subah kaa ruup
like the beauty of the morning;
jaise saradii kii dhuup
like winter sunshine;
jaise viiNaa kii taan
like a note from the lute;
jaise ra.ngo.n kii jaan
like the essence of all color;
jaise balakhaaye.n bel
like a twisting vine;
jaise laharo.n ka khel
like the play of waves;
jaise khushbuu liye aaye THa.nDii havaa
like a cool scented wind.
ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa laga...
When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like...
jaise naachataa mor
like a dancing feather;
jaise resham kii Dor
like a silken thread;
jaise pariyo.n ka raag
like a fairy melody;
jaise sandal kii aag
like the fire of sandalwood;
jaise solah si.ngaar
like the sixteen (traditional) ornaments of beauty;
jaise ras kii phuhaar
like a refreshing mist;
jaise aahistaa aahistaa baDHta nasha
like a slowly growing feeling of intoxication.
ek laDakii ko dekha to aisa laga...
When I saw this girl, she seemed to me like...
