Pehla Nasha Lyrics in Hindi:
चाहे तुम कुछ ना कहो
मैंने सुन लिया
के साथी प्यार का मुझे चुन लिया
चुन लिया
मैंने सुन लिया
पहला नशा
पहला खुमार
नया प्यार है, नया इंतज़ार
कर लूं मैं क्या अपना हाल
ऐ दिल-ए-बेक़रार
मेरे दिल-ए-बेक़रार
तू ही बता..!!
पहला नशा, पहला खुमार
उड़ता ही फिरूँ इन हवाओं में कहीं
हां मैं झूल जाऊं
इन घाटों में कहिन-x2
एक कर दूं आसमान और ज़मीन
कहो यारों क्या करूँ, क्या नहीं
पहला नशा, पहला ख़ुमार…!!
नया प्यार है, नया इंतज़ार
कर लूं मैं क्या अपना हाल
ऐ दिल-ए-बेक़रार
मेरे दिल-ए-बेक़रार
तू ही बता..!!
पहला नशा, पहला ख़ुमार…!!
उसने बात की
कुछ ऐसे धांग से
सपने दे गया वो हज़ारों रंग के-x2
रह जाऊं जैसे मैं हार के
और चूमे वो मुझे प्यार से
पहला नशा, पहला ख़ुमार…
नया प्यार है, नया इंतज़ार
कर लूं मैं क्या अपना हाल
ऐ दिल-ए-बेक़रार
मेरे दिल-ए-बेक़रार
तू ही बता..!!
पहला नशा, पहला ख़ुमार…!!
Pehla Nasha Lyrics in English:
Chahein tum kuch naa kahon
Maine sun liya
Ke sathi pyaar ka mujhe chun liya
Chun liya
Maine sun liya
Pehla nasha
Pehla khumar
Naya pyaar hai, naya intezaar
Kar loon main kya apna haal
Ae dil-e-beqaraar
Mere dil-e-beqaraar
Tu hi bata..!!
Pehla nasha, pehla khumar
Udta hi phirun in hawaon mein kahin
Ya main jhul jaaun
In ghataon mein kahin-x2
Ek kar doon aasmaan aur zameen
Kahon yaaron kya karoon, kya nahin
Pehla nasha, pehla khumar…!!
Naya pyaar hai, naya intezaar
Kar loon main kya apna haal
Ae dil-e-beqaraar
Mere dil-e-beqaraar
Tu hi bata..!!
Pehla nasha, pehla khumar…!!
Usne baat ki
Kuch aise dhang se
Sapne de gaya woh hazaaron rang ke-x2
Reh jaaun jaise main haar ke
Aur choome woh mujhe pyaar se
Pehla nasha, pehla khumar…
Naya pyaar hai, naya intezaar
Kar loon main kya apna haal
Ae dil-e-beqaraar
Mere dil-e-beqaraar
Tu hi bata..!!
Pehla nasha, pehla khumar…!!

Music Composition & Raag Details:
The composition of “Pehla Nasha” broke the traditional 80s “loud” music mould, opting for a Western-classical fusion that felt fresh and airy and Jatin-Lalit took inspiration from Western pop structures while keeping the Indian melodic soul intact.
- The Piano Hook: The song is defined by its iconic opening piano riff, which immediately sets a mood of exhilaration and youthful wonder.
- Vocal Texture: Udit Narayan used a very light, “head-voice” dominant style to sound like a teenager in love, while Sadhana Sargam’s voice provided a soft, fluttering response.
- Rhythmic Sophistication: Unlike the heavy dholak beats of that era, this track utilized a light, steady percussive beat and lush orchestral strings, giving it a global feel.
Raag Details/Raag Pahadi & Raag Khamaj: The melody is a “Mishra” (mixed) composition, blending the folk-based sweetness of the hills with romantic classical notes:
- Raag Pahadi Influence: The “airy” and “open” feeling of the song comes from Raag Pahadi. This raag is often used to depict love set in nature, which perfectly matches the outdoor visuals of the song.
- Raag Khamaj Touch: Certain melodic phrases in the Antara reflect Raag Khamaj, a raag known for its “Chanchal” (playful) and romantic nature (Shringar Rasa).
- Mood (Bhaav): The combination creates a sense of Exhilaration. It captures the “weightlessness” of first love, making the listener feel as though they are floating—just like the actors in the video.
