KABHI KABHIE
| kabhii kabhii mere dil me.n khayaal aata hai | Sometimes the thought crosses my mind |
| ki jaise tujhko banaaya gaya hai mere li'e | that you've been made just for me. |
| tuu ab se pahale sitaaro.n me.n bas rahii thii kahii.n | Before this, you were dwelling somewhere in the stars; |
| tujhe zamiin pe bulaaya gaya hai mere li'e... | you were summoned to earth just for me... |
| kabhii kabhii mere dil me.n khayaal aata hai... | Sometimes the thought crosses my mind |
| ki yeh badan ye nigaahe.n merii amaanat hai.n... | that this body and these eyes are kept in trust for me... |
| ye gesuu'o.n kii ghanii chha.nv hai.n merii khaatir | that the dark shadows of your hair are for my sake alone, |
| ye ho.nTH aur ye baahe.n merii amaanat hai.n... | that these lips and these arms are charged to my care... |
| kabhii kabhii mere dil me.n khayaal aata hai | Sometimes the thought crosses my mind |
| ki jaise bajtii hai shahanaa'iyaa.n sii raaho.n me.n... | just as the shehnaii sounds on the roads... |
| suhaag raat hai ghuu.nghaT uTHaa rahaa huu.n mai.n... | that it is my wedding night, and I am lifting your veil... |
| simaT rahii hai tuu sharmaake merii baaho.n me.n... | You're shrinking for shame, blushing in my arms... |
| kabhii kabhii mere dil me.n khayaal aata hai | Sometimes the thought crosses my mind |
| ki jaise tuu mujhe chaahegii umra bhar yuu.n hii | that you'll love me like this our whole lives through, |
| uTHegii merii taraf pyaar kii nazar yuu.n hii | that you'll always lift a loving gaze to me like this. |
| mai.n jaanta huu.n ki tuu gair hai magar yuu.n hii | I know you're a stranger, but even so, |
| kabhii kabhii mere dil me.n khayaal aata hai... | sometimes the thought crosses my mind, |
MAIN PAL DO PAL KA SHAAYAR
| mai.n pal do pal ka shaayar huu.n | I'm a poet only for a second or two; |
| pal do pal merii kahaanii hai | my story will be over in a few seconds. |
| pal do pal merii ha.nstii hai | My laughter is only for a moment or two; |
| pal do pal merii jawaanii hai | my youth will be over in a few moments. |
| mai.n pal do pal ka shaayar huu.n | I'm a poet only for a second or two. |
| mujhse pahale kitne shaayar aaye aur aakar chale gaye | Many poets came before me, and after coming, departed; |
| kuchh aahe.n bharkar lauT gaye | some went filled with sighs, |
| kuchh nagme gaakar chale gaye | and some went singing songs. |
| voh bhii ek pal ka qissa tha | They were only the story of a moment in time; |
| mai.n bhii ek pal ka qissa huu.n | I too am only the story of a moment. |
| kal tumse judaa ho jaa'uu.nga | Tomorrow I will be separated from you, |
| voh aaj tumhaara hissa huu.n | but for today, I'm a part of you. |
| mai.n pal do pal ka shaayar huu.n | I'm a poet of a moment or two, no more. |
| kal aur aa'e.nge nagmo.n kii | Tomorrow new songs will arrive, |
| khiltii kaliyaa.n chunnevaale | freshly bloomed blossoms to be plucked. |
| mujhse behatar kahanevaale | There will be better storytellers than me, |
| tumse behatar sunnevaale | and better listeners than you. |
| kal koii mujhko yaad kare | Tomorrow, someone might remember me; |
| kyo.n koii mujhko yaad kare | but why should anyone remember me? |
| masaruuf zamaana mere li'e | For my sake, why should this busy world |
| kyo.n vaqt apna barbaad kare | waste its time? |
| mai.n pal do pal ka shaayar huu.n | I'm a poet only for a moment or two. |
