hoNTo par in-kaar,
ON THE LIPS, MURMUR OF DISSENT!

jeena bhee mushkil hoy,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO STAY ALIVE,

marnaa bhee mushkil…

jis din se dekhaa tum ko,
SINCE THE DAY I LOOKED AT YOU,

YOU WERE MINE, I KNEW,

aur aake rahe aaNkhoN meN haay,
AND IN THE EYES YOU CAME TO ABIDE,

aur aake rahe aaNkhoN meN,
AND IN THE EYES YOU CAME TO ABIDE

ek manchaahe sapne se,
LIKE A DREAM THAT THE HEART DESIRED!

samajh naa aaye kyaa jeetaa main, aur gayaa kyaa haar,
WHAT I WON AND WHAT I LOST IS DIFFICULT TO DERIVE!

jeena bhee mushkil,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO STAY ALIVE,

marnaa bhee mushkil,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO DIE!

khulee palak meN jhooTaa Gussa,
THE FEIGNED IRE YOUR OPEN EYES REVEAL,

band palak meN pyaar,
THE LOVE, YOUR CLOSED EYES CONCEAL,

jeena bhee mushkil haay,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO STAY ALIVE,

marnaa bhee mushkil…
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO DIE!

tum pyaar chhupaa ke haare,
YOU LOST BY CONCEALING LOVE,

maiN pyaar jataa ke haaraa,
I LOST BY EXPRESING LOVE,

abb toh saaree duniya pe haay,
NOW TO THE ENTIRE WORLD…

abb toh saaree duniya pe,
NOW TO THE ENTIRE WORLD

zaahir hai haal hamaaraa,
OUR STATE IS UNFURLED!

pahoNch ke is manzil pe lauTna, abb toh hai dushvaar,
AFTER REACHING THE GOAL, ‘TIS DIFFICULT TO NOSE-DIVE!

jeena bhee mushkil,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO STAY ALIVE,

marnaa bhee mushkil,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO DIE!

khulee palak meN jhooTaa Gussa
THE FEIGNED IRE YOUR OPEN EYES REVEAL,

band palak meN pyaar,
THE LOVE, YOUR CLOSED EYES CONCEAL,

jeena bhee mushkil haay,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO STAY ALIVE,

marnaa bhee mushkil…
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO DIE!

eesay meree baat naa samjho,
DON’T CONSIDER ME A TELLTALE,

kyaa bantaa hai baat banaa ke,
‘TIS NO USE SPINNING A TALE,

kuchh kehnaa thaah mere dil kaa hoy,
MY HEART NEEDED TO SAY SOMETHING,

kuchh kehnaa thaah mere dil kaa,
MY HEART NEEDED TO SAY SOMETHING,

jaataa hooN wohee dohraa ke,
I REPEAT THAT BEFORE LEAVING,

naa ho yaqeeN toh paRh kar dekho, aaNkhoN meN ik baar,
READ MY EYES FOR ONCE IF YOU DON’T BUY!

jeena bhee mushkil,
‘TIS DIFFICULT EVEN TO STAY ALIVE,

Darte naheeN hai.N hamm, ishq ke anjaam se,
FLINCHING FROM LOVE’S RESULT ISN’T IN MY SCHEMES,

aisaa lagtaa hai, ke ab hamm, gaye kaam se,

dhaRak-ne lagtaa hai, meraa dil tere naam se,
MY HEART THROBS WHEN YOUR NAME BEAMS,

aisaa lagtaa hai, ke ab hamm, gaye kaam se.
NOW I’M DONE FOR, SO IT SEEMS!

Dha-dha dha dhaRakne lagtaa hai.
O YEAH, IT THROBS!
