I'm not in love yet but, even before being in love, I have a favourite love song. This song is from the movie 'Taal' and the song's name is Ishq bina (without love).

Music By A. R. Rahman
Lyrics By Anand Bakshi
Performed by Sonu Nigam, AR. Rahman, Anuradha Sriram, Sujatha

I'm glad to have found an english translation to that song. I hope more people like this song for its lyrics as well as its music.


ENGLISH:

WITHOUT LOVE (Ishq bina)

What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Love is sweeter than raw sugar;
love is more bitter than tamarind.
What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Love is sweeter than raw sugar;
love is more bitter than tamarind.
This love is a solemn promise;
this love is an elemental bond.
What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Love is sweeter than raw sugar;
love is more bitter than tamarind.
This love is a solemn promise;
this love is an elemental bond.
What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Love is sweeter than raw sugar;
love is more bitter than tamarind.
This love is a solemn promise;
this love is an elemental bond.
What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Love is sweeter than raw sugar;
love is more bitter than tamarind.
What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Above is God; below is love; and between these two exists everything...
Discuss not one thing, but everything; in the end, all discussions have but one meaning.
God is more beautiful than everything; but love is even more beautiful than God.
What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Love is sweeter than raw sugar;
love is more bitter than tamarind.
Neither diamond nor gold; simply love.
Only one desire: love.
Neither diamond nor gold; simply love.
Only one desire: love.
What is dying, without love? What is life, without love?
Just one desire.
What is love? Who knows?
Yet, at the same time, everyone knows what love is.
This city of love lies down an unfamiliar road;
who knows anything about your beloved's home?
A short little while, or a very long journey;
who in the world knows what love is?
Is it pain, or is it the cure for pain?
Is this a lover, or is it you, God?
What is dying, without love? What is life, without love?
You have heard the name of love,
but I have been in love.
A garden of flowers: love
A skirt full of thorns: love
A garden of flowers: love
A skirt full of thorns: love
What is dying, without love? What is living, without love?
Love is sweeter than raw sugar;
love is more bitter than tamarind.
