THOUSANDS OF HEARTS WILL DEDICATE THEMSELVES TO YOU,

Aane Waala Hai, Haa.n...
'TIS COMING... YEAH....

Aane Waala Hai Ab,
COMING NOW IS

Aisa Qaatil Zamaana...
SUCH A DEADLY PERIOD.


Abhi Kamsin Ho...
YOU ARE STILL A MINOR,

Naadaa.n Ho
ARE INNOCENT,

Jaane Jaana
SWEETHEART.....


Gunaah Thehregaa
SINFUL IT'LL BE HELD

Sab Se Nazar Milaana Bhi
TO EVEN LOCK EYES WITH ALL,

Banegaa Jurm Kisi Din
CRIME IT WILL BE SOME DAY

Yeh Muskrunaa Bhi,
EVEN TO SMILE THUS,

Kabhi Jo Dil ki Kasak Dard Ban ke Ubhreygi
WHEN THE HEARTACHE WILL ARISE AS AFFECTION,

Ubhreygi..
...WILL ARISE...

Ta.dap Ta.dap Ke Shab-e-Intizaar Guzreygi..
IN TORMENTS WILL THE NIGHTS OF WAITING PASS,

Koi Poocheyga.. Haa.n...
IF SOMEONE WERE TO ASK, YEAH...

Koi Poocheyga Jab
IF SOMEONE WERE TO ASK...THEN

Kya Karogee Bahaana
WHAT EXCUSE WILL YOU GIVE?

Abhi Kamsin Ho...
YOU ARE STILL A MINOR,

Naadaa.n Ho
ARE INNOCENT,

Jaane Jaana
SWEETHEART.


Kya Karogi Meraa Dil
WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH MY HEART?

To.d Dogi Meraa Dil
YOU'LL BREAK MY HEART,

Pehle Seekho Dil Lagaana
FIRST LEARN HOW TO LOVE.

Abhi Kamsin Ho...
YOU ARE STILL A MINOR,

Naadaa.n Ho
ARE INNOCENT,

Jaane Jaana
SWEETHEART.
