jis raah se guzroo.N, tuu mere saath rahegee,

WHATEVER PATH I TAKE, YOU’LL BE WITH ME,

tuu aaKhree damm tak, bhee meree paas rahegee,

EVEN TILL THE LAST BREATH, YOU’LL STAY NEAR ME,

tuu aaKhree damm tak, bhee meree paas rahegee,

EVEN TILL THE LAST BREATH, YOU’LL STAY NEAR ME,

ab tere sivaa kaun,  banegaa meraa hamraaz,

NO ONE ELSE BUT YOU WILL BE MY CONFIDANTE!

A LONG BEAUTIFUL NECK, AND MELLIFLUOUS VOICE!

teree har ek baat pe, mujh ko hai ba.Daa naaz.

OF EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, I’M MIGHTY PROUD!
