doh vidaa doh praan mujh ko

aaj se hoon main hoon teraa, pardes waasee meet,
FROM TODAY MY FRIEND, I’M AN ALIEN FOR YOU,

sur ke taro.n par bajegaa praan kaa sangeet,
THE MUSIC OF LIFE WILL PLAY ON THE KEY STRINGS,

sun sako voh raag toh, jhankar apnee jhilmilaane
IF YOU HAPPEN TO HEAR THAT NOTE, FLASH YOUR STRINGS,

sun sako voh raag toh, jhankar apnee jhilmilaane
IF YOU HAPPEN TO HEAR THAT NOTE, FLASH YOUR STRINGS,


doh vidaa doh praan mujh ko
GIVE O GIVE ME LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE,

doh vidaa doh praan,
GIVE O GIVE LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE,

doh vidaa doh praan..
GIVE O GIVE LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE…


neh se bharpoor hain hamm, aa.nhhh
FULL OF TENDERNESS ARE WE,

neh se bharpoor hain hamm,
FULL OF TENDERNESS ARE WE,

phir kaho, kab duur hain hamm,
THEN TELL ME, HOW CAN WE BE APART!

phir kaho, kab duur hain hamm,
THEN TELL ME, HOW CAN WE BE APART!

yaad main aaoo.n tumeh toh, dheer naa apna gawaana,
WHEN I RECUR TO YOUR MEMORY, DON’T LOSE YOUR PATIENCE,

yaad main aaoo.n tumeh toh, dheer naa apna gawaana,

doh vidaa doh praan mujh ko
GIVE O GIVE ME LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE,

doh vidaa doh praan,
GIVE O GIVE LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE,

doh vidaa doh praan..
GIVE O GIVE LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE…


sach naheen toh jhoot bhee kab hain hamaaare, madhur sapne
IF OUR SWEET DREAMS MAY NOT BE TRUE, YET THEY AREN’T FALSE,

phool me.n ha.ns nit jharo.n me.n beh rahe.n hain pyaar apne,
OUR LOVE LAUGHS IN FLOWERS, FLOWS IN CASCADES ETERNALLY,

aa.nsuuo.n ko pee ke saathee, moteeo.n me.n muskurunaa,
BY DRINKING THE TEARS, KEEP ON SMILING IN PEARLS MATE,

aa.nsuuo.n ko pee ke saathee, moteeo.n me.n muskurunaa,
BY DRINKING THE TEARS, KEEP ON SMILING IN PEARLS MATE,


doh vida doh praan mujh ko,
GIVE O GIVE ME LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE,

doh vidaa, doh praan
GIVE O GIVE LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE,

doh vidaa doh praan,
GIVE O GIVE LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE,

doh vidaa doh praan.
GIVE O GIVE LEAVE TO DEPART O LIFE.

NASIR.

If you enter this world knowing you are loved and you leave this world knowing the same, then everything that happens in between can be dealt with.
