O DEAR! HOLD ME STEADY FRIENDS, 

maine naheeN pee, yeh pyaar kaa nashaa hai… 
I AIN’T DRUNK; I’M DRUNK WITH LOVE!

jab ek saath kayee yaar, (hic!)  nazar aate haiN, 
WHEN MANY FRIENDS ARE SEEN TOGETHER

KHushee ke maare kabhee, Qadam behak jaate haiN, 
OUT OF JOY SOMETIMES THE STEPS GO ASTRAY,  

in-se mileeye yeh haiN ek jaan-ne waale mere, 
MEET THIS GUY – HE KNOWS ME, 

aur yeh bhee toh haiN pehchaan-ne waale mere, 
AND THIS ONE TOO IS MY ACQUAINTANCE!

THE FOE HERSELF IS THE COMPANION, 

yeh doh-rangeeN bhee hai kaisee taubaa, 
GOOD GRACIOUS! WHAT A DUAL PERSONALITY IS SHE

ke tabeeyat meree ghabraatee hai,
THAT MY DISPOSITION BECOMES NERVY!

jo kabhee zulf mahak uThtee hai, 
AS WHEN THE TRESS BECOMES FRAGRANT

toh kaheen KHoon kee boo aatee hai, 
THEN SOMEWHERE IT SMELLS BLOOD! 

Arre maiN kyaa yeh keh gayaa,
HEY, WHAT DID I UTTER!

mujhe kyaa aaj ho gayaa,
WHATEVER HAS GOTTEN INTO ME TODAY?

yeh miyaaN jaam kaa naheeN,
THIS ISN’T FROM THE GLASS MISTER,

FORGIVE ME SWEETHEART FOR THESE WORDS OF MINE!

hotee haiN hai tum se kahaaN,  aisee mulaaQaateN,
SUCH MEETINGS HARDLY OCCUR WHEN I GET TO MEET YOU,

toh chalo chal ke kaheeN doh dil pyaar kareN, 
SO LET’S GO SOME PLACE WHERE TWO HEARTS MIGHT LOVE, 

aaj tak jo naa kiyaa wohee iqraar kareN,
WHAT WE HAVEN’T DONE TILL TODAY, LETS MAKE THAT PLEDGE!

hameN  sweekaar karo tum,
YOU SAY YES TO ME,

tumeh sweekaar kareN hamm, 
I’LL SAY YES TO YOU, 

ke hameN aaj gul-badan, tere deedar kaa nashaa hai, 
AS TODAY, I’M DRUNK BEHOLDING YOU, DAINTY DARLING!

Are re re re sambhaalo,  mujhe yaaroN, 
O DEAR! HOLD ME STEADY FRIENDS,

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


Jaane kaun, hawaa ka jho.nkaa, Jeevan yahaa.n badal jaaye,
WHO KNOWS WHICH WHIFF OF WIND WILL CHANGE THE LIFE,

Jaane kab koee hatyaara, Walmiki, bann jaaye....
WHO KNOWS WHEN SOME MURDERER WILL BECOME A SAINT!!!

Chorus: aaa, aaa, aaa, aaa, aaaa,


Zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa,
LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!

LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!


Ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,


Chorus: ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,


Zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa....
LIFE IS THE TERM FOR BATTERING BY THE TIME!


Raah sachchaee kee, mushkilo.n se bharee,
THE COURSE OF TRUTH IS FULL OF HARDSHIPS,


Warna saahas rukaa, aur naa himmat Daree,
OTHERWISE, NEVER THE DARING FALTERED; NOR THE COURAGE WAS EVER SCARED,


Yoo.n hee tap kar kabhee paap jal jaye.nge,
IN THE HEAT OF THE PAIN THUS THE SINS WILL BURN AWAY,


Pehle kaa.nte toh chun, phool mil jaayenge,
PICK UP THE THORNS FIRST, THE FLOWERS YOU’LL WILL FIND,


Raastaa hai yahee~~~,

Chorus: ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,


Zindagee naam hai, waqt kee maar kaa....

Dard se jo mile, voh khushee hai teree,
WHAT YOU GET THROUGH PAIN, THAT’S YOUR HAPPINESS,


aa.nsuuo.n se khile, voh ha.nsee hai teree,
WHAT BLOSSOMS THROUGH THE TEARS, THAT’S YOUR LAUGHTER,


dekh mausam nayaa rang laane lagaa,
LOOK! THE WEATHER HAS BEGUN TO BRING NEW HUES,


phool khilne lage, waqt gaane lagaa,
THE FLOWERS HAVE BEGUN TO BLOSSOM, THE TIME HAS STARTED SINGING,


roop hogaa nayaa~~
THERE’LL BE A NEW SHAPE...


roop hogaa nayaa, tere sansaar kaa,
THERE’LL BE A NEW SHAPE OF YOUR WORLD,


ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,


chorus: ek din jeet kaa, ek din haar kaa,
A DAY TO WIN, A DAY TO LOSE,
