ISHQ SAMUNDAR
| ishq jab had se paar ho jaa'e | When love crosses the limit, |
| zi.ndagii beqaraar ho jaa'e | life becomes unbearable. |
| ishq itna bhii na jaago ki | Don't love so much that |
| husn sar pe savaar ho jaa'e | you let beauty rule your head. |
| ishq samu.ndar ishq samu.ndar | Love is an ocean... |
| mera yaar milaa de mujhko duu.n laakh du'aa'e.n tujhko... | Unite me with my love; I'll send up a thousand prayers for you. |
| diidaar bina dilbar ke kuchh suujh rahaa na mujhko | Without sight of my beloved, nothing is clear to me. |
| usse dil kii baat bataa dega merii aa.nkho.n ka ma.nzar | The sight of my eyes will tell her what's in my heart. |
| ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar... | Cast your heart into the ocean of love... |
| mera yaar milaa de mujhko duu.n laakh du'aa'e.n tujhko | Unite me with my love; I'll send up a thousand prayers for you. |
| diidaar bina dilbar ke kuchh suujh rahaa na mujhko | Without sight of my beloved, nothing is clear to me. |
| koii bevafaa nahii.n hota dil ka bura nahii.n hota... | There's no treachery, there's no wrongdoing of the heart; |
| qismat se diiwaano.n ka har vaqt bhalaa nahii.n hota |
The lover's every occasion won't be excellent; that's fate. |
| siina chhalnii ho jaata hai jab chale vaqt ka kha.njar | When the blade of time slices down, the heart becomes riddled with holes. |
| ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar... | Cast your heart into the ocean of love... |
| mera yaar milaa de mujhko | Unite me with my love! |
| mera yaar milaa de mujhko duu.n laakh du'aa'e.n tujhko | Unite me with my love; I'll send up a thousand prayers for you. |
| bevafaa se bhii pyaar hota hai... | Even a faithless person is loved... |
| yaar kuchh bhii ho yaar hota hai | Whatever a friend might be, s/he is still a friend. |
| ishq samu.ndar | Love, the ocean... |
| tujhse hii pyaar hai karna tera i.ntazaar hai karna... | I must love only you; I will wait for you alone... |
| mere li'e to jiina tere ishq me.n hai marna | For me, to live I must die in your love. |
| kitna aur kab tak bhaagega daulat ke li'e sikandar | How much farther, how much longer, shall Sikander chase after fortune? |
| ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar... | Cast your heart into the ocean of love... |
| mera yaar milaa de mujhko duu.n laakh du'aa'e.n tujhko | Unite me with my love; I'll send up a thousand prayers for you. |
| diidaar bina dilbar ke kuchh suujh rahaa na mujhko | Without sight of my beloved, nothing is clear to me. |
| usse dil kii baat bataa dega merii aa.nkho.n ka ma.nzar | The sight of my eyes will tell her what's in my heart. |
| ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar ishq samu.ndar dil de a.ndar... | Cast your heart into the ocean of love... |

MAUT
| dil kii dhaRkane.n hai.n ye goliyo.n ka shor hai | Is it the sound of my heartbeats, or the noise of gunshots? |
| faasale ho jaa'e.n nazdiik | The distances are drawing near. |
| aa jaa jalaa le dil jalaa le zi.ndagii ko | Come, light fire to your heart, burn this life. |
| na jaane kab milegii yeh nasiib | Who knows when this fortune will be received. |
| dil me.n jo chain nahii.n re nahii.n sahe nahii.n | The heart that knows no peace cannot endure. |
| hai savaal uTHe jaa'e | A question arises: |
| tera to maut se pataa nahii.n kab aa'ega | you never know when your death will come. |
| kisiise bhulaake yeh kisii le jaa'ega | It forgets someone, and takes away someone else. |
| maut jiine ke li'e zaruurii hai yeh | In order to live, death is necessary. |
| maut kaise ban ga'ii majbuurii hai yeh | How did death become a compulsion? |
| maut kab ruk jaatii kab aatii | When does death stop? When does it come? |
| maut saa.nso.n ko baaho.n me.n leke jaatii | Death takes your breath into its embrace and goes. |
| zi.nda hoke mar gaya mai.n marke zi.nda ho gaya | Living, I died; dying, I came to life. |
| dil kii dhaRkane.n zi.ndagii ka shor hai | The beating of the heart is the sound of life. |

| yeh khayaal tuu kar le abhii | Think about it right now. |
| jiina dushwaar hai pyaar hai yaar hai | Life is burdensome, but it's also love, it's friendship; |
| mardo.n ko yeh do raah dikhaa'e | it shows men two paths. |
| jiina hai to jiina hai marna hai to marna hai | If you must live, then you must; if you must die, then you must die. |
| jiska vaqt aaya hai ussi ko chale jaana hai | He whose time has come must depart. |
| maut sirf raahe.n badal jaate hai | Death only alters the paths. |
| maut naye daur khul jaate hai | Death opens up a new direction; |
| maut lena dena tab pataa chalta hai | When death figures out what you're owed, |
| maut kamaa'ii ka hazaar milta hai | death grants you your due recompense. |
| bekhabar hai safaayii nishaan hai | Unknowingly, it's a purifying mark |
| mil jaa'e jo voh hai nasiib | and to receive it is good fortune. |
| jiina tuufaani hai baaki sab kahaanii hai | Living is tempestuous; everything else is fiction. |
| chhiinke leke jaatii hai zi.ndagii | Life goes along, snatching everything away from you. |
| mera bulaawa hai yeh zi.ndagii ka daawa hai | My challenge is life's assertion. |
| mujhe bulaa'e yeh tujhe bhii bulaa'e | It calls me; it calls to you as well. |
| banke hawaa muskaraa'e yeh | Becoming the breeze, it smiles, |
| merii maut terii maut iski uski sabki bas | my death, your death, his and everyone's! |
| maut jiine ke li'e zaruurii hai yeh | In order to live, death is necessary. |
| maut kaise ban ga'ii majbuurii hai yeh | How did death become a compulsion? |
| maut kab ruk jaatii kab aatii | When does death stop? When does it come? |
| maut saa.nso.n ko baaho.n me.n leke jaatii | Death takes your breath into its embrace and goes. |
| maut sirf raahe.n badal jaate hai | Death only alters the paths. |
| maut naye daur khul jaate hai | Death opens up a new direction; |
| maut lena dena tab pataa chalta hai | When death figures out what you're owed, |
| maut kamaa'ii ka hazaar milta hai | death grants you your due recompense. |
| maut | Death! |
SOCHA NAHIN THA
| socha nahii.n that taqdiir yahaa.n laa'egii | I didn't think that fate would bring me here, |
| ma.nzil pe aate hii jaan chalii jaa'egii | that right at my destination, my life would depart. |
| yeh to sika.ndar ne bhii nahii.n tha socha | Nor did Alexander the Great ever imagine this, |
| aane se pahale hii khushii chalii jaa'egii | that before arriving, his happiness would depart. |
| hamne socha tha kya aur kya se kya hu'aa | What did we hope for? And what came of it? |
| jaa rahe hai.n aaj yeh zamaane ko bataake | After telling the world today, we're going. |
| yeh kya ho gaya re raama re yeh kya ho gaya re maula re... | What happened, God? What happened, Lord? |
| tera qasuur tha ya mera qasuur tha | What it your fault, or was it mine? |
| tera garuur tha ya mera garuur tha | Was it your false pride or was it mine? |
| rabba mai.n itna bura nahii.n hota | God, I wouldn't be so bad |
| tu agar bevafaa nahii.n hota | if you weren't unfaithful. |
| itna bataa mujhe kya mila tujhe | Just tell me this much: what did you gain |
| gam kii kaa.nTe merii raaho.n me.n bichhaake | by strewing thorns of grief along my path? |
| yeh kya ho gaya re raama re yeh kya ho gaya re maula re... | What happened, God? What happened, Lord? |
