Mere Uj.De Huway Dil mein
IN MY DEVASTATED HEART

Kisi ki Yaad Rehne De
LET THE MEMORY OF SOMEONE BE,

Mere Uj.De Huway Dil mein
IN MY DEVASTATED HEART

Kisi ki Yaad Rehne De
LET THE MEMORY OF SOMEONE BE,

Bas Itna Reham Kar Mujh Par
HAVE THIS MUCH MERCY ON ME THOUGH

Usse Aabaad Rehne De
LET HER REMAIN HAPPILY MARRIED...

Mere Bhagwaan,
O MY GOD

Mere Bhagwaan,
O MY GOD,

Bhagwaan,
O GOD,

Mere Bhagwaan.
O MY GOD.
