Chorus: AAAAAA~~~~AAAAAA~~~
naa taaj-e-shaahee, naa baadshaahee,
NO ROYAL CROWN, NO KINGDOM,

BUT LOVE WILL ENDURE,
Chorus: AAAAA~~~~AAAAA~~~
naa muskuraaye.nge phool kaliyaa.n,
NO FLOWERS AND BUDS WILL SMILE,
naa gaaye.ngee bulbule, taraanaa,
NO NIGHTINGALE WILL SING SONGS,

NO GARDEN NOR THE COSY RETREAT WILL REMAIN,
magar mohabbat, rahegee baaqee,
BUT LOVE WILL ENDURE!
Chorus: AAAAA~~~~
naa zindagee kaa~~~~, nishaa.n rahegaa,
NO TRACE OF LIFE WILL REMAIN,

NEITHER THE EARTH NOR THE SKY WILL REMAIN,
Chorus: AAA~~~~
rahegee har shay, yoo.n hee, rawaanaa,
EVERYTHING WILL THUS DEPART,
magar mohabbat rahegee baaqee.
BUT LOVE WILL ENDURE.
Chorus: AAA~~~~
