Ageless Youth ?

So what if the number in my age means i am old ? age, as they say, is just a mere number. can i help it if i still feel young when i see you ? my heart still flutters,  i still feel the familiar heady rush and i am tongue-tied at the very sight of you. i am scared to be left alone lest i lose myself in your thoughts. i cant help it if my heart doesnt behave like a perfect gentleman like me, when you are around. in vain i try to drill some sense into my heart and try to rein it in, knowing that i may be betrayed. these feelings are so overwhelming that i am scared to admit them even to myself. yet, what can i do if my heart feels so young and sings a song at the very sight of you ?

(the above is not a literal translation of the song below)

Aise uljjhi nazara se hatati nahi 
datse reshmi dor katati nahi
umar kab ki baras ke safed ho gayi
kaari badari jawani ki chatati rahi
wallah ye dhadkan badane lagi hai
chehare ki rangat udane lagi hai
darr lagatha hai tanaha sone mein jee
dil to bacha hai jee

dil to bacha hai jee
thoda kacha hai jee
dil to bacha hai jee
aise uljji nazara se hatati nahi
datse reshmi dor katati nahi
gari badari jawani ki chatati rahi

Kis ko patta tha pehlun me rakha
dil aisa baji bhi hoga
hum to humesha samajate the koi
hum jaisa hajii he hoga
aaye jor kare kitana shor kare
bevaja baton pe aiwein gaur karen
dil sa koi kamina nahi koi to roke
koi toke iss umer me ab khavo ge dhoke
darr lagata hai ishq me karane bhi jee
dil to ucha hai jee dil to bacha hai jee
thoda kacha hai jee dil to bacha hai jee

Aise udasi beti hai dil pe
hasane se ghabara rahe hai
sari jawani katarake kanti
piri me takara gaye hai
dildhadkata hai to aise lagatha hai jo
aa raha hai yahi dekhta he na ho
prem ki mare katar re
toba ye lamahe katate nahi hai kyun
aankho se meri hatate nahi jo
darr lagata hai mujhse karana baji
dil to bacha hai jee

dil to bacha hai jee
thoda kacha hai jee
dil to bacha hai jee
