Mashooqa Hindi Lyrics
Original (Hindi) version
[Intro / Verse 1]
करें तो करें क्या दिल है
Come get me now
दिल है तभी मुश्किल है
Come get me now
करें तो करें क्या दिल है
Come get me now
दिल है तभी मुश्किल है
Come get me now
[Pre-Chorus]
पड़े अगर तेरे लिए
मर भी जाना
उफ़ नहीं करे दीवाना
[Chorus]
मा मा माशूका
ओ माय माशूका
तीर तेरी नज़रों का
तो कभी ना चूका
मा
मा मा मा माशूका
ओ माय माशूका
तीर तेरी नज़रों का
ना कभी चूका
हाय हाय हाय
[Verse 2]
तीर-ए-नज़र का बनाया तू ने
जिसे भी निशाना
जाने क्यों चाह के भी
चाहे ना वो खुद को बचाना
जिसे गले से
इक पल के लिए भी तू लगा ले
पूरी उम्र उस पल में
बिता ले वो दीवाना
[Pre-Chorus]
काम दीवानों का
होश गवाना है
और हसीनों पे
दोष लगाना है
[Chorus]
मा
मा मा मा माशूका
ओ माय माशूका
तीर तेरी नज़रों का
कभी ना चूका
मा
मा मा मा माशूका
ओ माय माशूका
तीर तेरी नज़रों का
ना कभी चूका
[Outro]
माशूका माशूका माशूका माशूका
माशूका माशूका मा माशूका
Come stai
माशूका माशूका माशूका माशूका
माशूका माशूका मा माशूका
Come stai
Romanized version
[Intro / Verse 1]
Karein toh karein kya dil hai
Come get me now
Dil hai tabhi mushkil hai
Come get me now
Karein toh karein kya dil hai
Come get me now
Dil hai tabhi mushkil hai
Come get me now
[Pre-Chorus]
Pade agar tere liye
Mar bhi jaana
Uff nahin kare deewana
[Chorus]
Ma ma maashooqa
O my mashooqa
Teer teri nazron ka
Toh kabhi na chooka
Ma
Ma ma ma maashooqa
O my maashoqa
Teer teri nazron ka
Na kabhi chooka
Haye haye haye
[Verse 2]
Teer-e-nazar ka banaya tu ne
Jise bhi nishaana
Jaane kyon chaah ke bhi
Chaahe na vo khud ko bachana
Jise gale se
Ik pal ke liye bhi tu laga le
Poori umar uss pal mein
Bita le vo deewaana
[Pre-Chorus]
Kaam deevanon ka
Hosh gavana hai
Aur haseenon pe
Dosh lagana hai
[Chorus]
Ma
Ma ma ma maashooqa
O my maashoqa
Teer teri nazron ka
Kabhi na chooka
Ma
Ma ma ma maashooqa
O my maashoqa
Teer teri nazron ka
Na kabhi chooka
[Outro]
Mashooqa mashooqa mashooqa mashooqa
Mashooqa mashooqa ma mashooqa
Come stai
Mashooqa mashooqa mashooqa mashooqa
Mashooqa mashooqa ma mashooqa
Come stai

💭 Meaning of "Mashooqa" Song Lyrics
"Mashooqa" — "beloved" — is a song about being struck helpless by someone's gaze. Its central image is an arrow: the beloved's glance is a teer that never misses its mark, and whoever it lands on cannot save themselves.
From there it becomes a confession of total infatuation. Raghav Chaitanya sings that he would gladly die for this love without a word of complaint, and that a single embrace would be worth spending a whole lifetime inside. As he frames it, a lover's only real job is to lose their senses — and to happily blame the beautiful for it.
Tender and a little breathless, "Mashooqa" captures the early rush of falling: the moment one look undoes you and devotion takes over.
