Translation
ठंडी ठंडी है हवा, तेरा काम क्या यहाँ
The wind is chilly, what are you doing here?
मीत नहीं पास में, चाँदनी तू लौट जा
My friend isn't nearby, moonlight, go back.
फूल क्यों खिले हो तुम, ज़ुल्फ़ नहीं वो यहाँ
Why are the flowers blooming, her hair isn't here.
झुके झुके आसमां, मेरी हँसी ना उड़ा
The sky is bowing, don't make fun of my laughter.
प्यार के बिना मेरी, ज़िन्दगी उदास है
Without love, my life is gloomy.
कोई नहीं है मेरा, सिर्फ़ तेरी आस है
I have no one, only hope in you.
ख्वाबों में तू, साँसों में तू
In dreams, you're there, in breaths, you're there.
रोज़ा
Roza
रोजा जानेमन...
Roja, my darling...
 

Explanation

The repeated mention of 'Roja' underscores the deep emotional connection and yearning for the beloved.
