Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:

Sab kuchh, lutaayaa hamne aakar teree galee me.n,

WE SQUANDERED AWAY ALL BY COMING TO YOUR LANE,

Ghar chho.d kar banaaya,

ABANDONING THE HOME WE MADE...

ghar chho.d kar banaayaa, hai ghar teree galee me.n,

ABANDONING THE HOME, WE MADE A HOME IN YOUR LANE,

hai ghar teree galee me.n...

A HOME IN YOUR LANE....

Khanjar tanne huwe hai.n, aur sar jhuke huwe hai.n,

THE DAGGERS ARE DRAWN, AND THE HEADS ARE BOWED,

Aur sar jhuke huwe hai.n,

AND THE HEADS ARE BOWED,

Maqtal ka dikh rahaa hai,

OF THE PLACE OF EXECUTION CAN BE SEEN...

Maqtal ka dikh rahaa hai, manzar teree galee me.n,

THE SIGHT OF THE PLACE OF EXECUTION CAN BE SEEN IN YOUR LANE,

manzar teree galee me.n,

THE SIGHT IN YOUR LANE...

Sab kuchh luTaaye hamne...

WE SQUANDERED AWAY ALL...

Maathe pe usko rakh loo.n, sijde me.n sar jhukaa doo.n,

ON THE FOREHEAD I’D PLACE IT, IN PROSTRATION I’D BOW MY HEAD,

Sijde me.n sar jhukaa doo.n,

IN PROSTRATION I’D BOW MY HEAD,

Mil jaaye jo bhee hamko,

WHATEVER WE WOULD FIND...

Mil jaaye jo bhee hamko, patthar teree galee me.n,

WHATEVER STONE WE WOULD FIND IN YOUR LANE,

patthar teree galee me.n,

THE STONE IN YOUR LANE,

Sab kuchh luTaayaa hamne...

WE SQUANDERED AWAY ALL...

Tere liye jiye hai.n, tere liye marenge,

FOR YOU WE’VE LIVED, FOR YOU WE’LL DIE,

Tere liye marenge,

FOR YOU WE’LL DIE,

Hamko, dikhaana hai yeh,

WE’VE TO SHOW THIS...

Hamko dikhaana hai yeh, markar teree galee me.n,

WE’VE TO SHOW THIS BY DYING IN YOUR LANE,

Markar teree galee me.n,

BY DYING IN YOUR LANE,

Sab kuchh, luTaayaa hamne.

WE SQUANDERED AWAY ALL.

NASIR.

Where we love is home, home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts. - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.
