Janam Janam lyrics English translation
Janam-janam-janam saath chalna yunhi.
You walk with me like this in every lifetime.
Kasam tumhe, kasam aake milna yahi.
You swear to me you’ll come and meet me right here.
Ek jaan hai, waale do badan hain juda.
We are one soul, though two bodies are apart.
Meri hokar hamesha hi rehna.
Always remain mine.
Kabhi na kehna alvida.
Never say goodbye.
Meri subah ho tum hi, aur tumhi shaam ho.
You are my morning, and you are my evening too.
Tum dard ho, tumhi aaram ho.
You are my pain, and you are my comfort.
Meri duaon se aati hai bas yeh sada:
There is only this plea in my prayers:
Meri hokar hamesha hi rehna.
Always remain mine.
Kabhi na kehna alvida.
Never say goodbye.
Aaa… Ha… Ha… Ha…
Aaa… Wo… Ho… Wo…
Hmm… Wo… Wo… Wo…
Meri hokar hamesha hi rehna.
Always remain mine.
Kabhi na kehna alvida.
Never say goodbye.
Teri baahon mein hai mere dono jahaan.
Both my worlds live in your arms.
Tu rahe jidhar, meri jannat wohi.
Wherever you live, that place is my heaven.
Jal rahi agan Hai joh yeh do tarfa,
The fire burning on both sides
na bujhe kabhi; meri mannat yahi.
may it never be extinguished; this is my prayer.
To meri arzu, main teri aashiqui.
You are my desire; I am your passion.
Tu meri shayari, main teri moseeqi.
You are my poetry; I am your music.
Talab, talab, talab — bas teri hi mujhe.
Thirst — only for you do I thirst.
Nasha mein toh nasha ban ke ghulna yuhin.
In intoxication, dissolve into me just like that.
Mere mohabbat ka qarna tu haq yeh adaa.
Pay the dues of my love in this way.
Meri hoke hamesha hi rehna.
Always remain mine.
Kabhi na kehna alvida.
Never say goodbye.
Meri subah ho tum hi, aur tumhi shaam ho.
You are my morning, and you are my evening too.
Tum dard ho, tumhi aaram ho.
You are my pain, and you are my comfort.
Meri duaon se aati hai bas yeh sada
There is only this plea in my prayers
Meri hokar hamesha hi rehna.
Always remain mine.
Kabhi na kehna alvida.
Never say goodbye.
Alvida…
Goodbye…
Wo… Ho… Ho… Naara… Na… Ra… Ra…

Meaning of Janam Janam
The lyrics of Janam Janam tell the story of a love so deep that it refuses to be limited by time, distance, or even lifetimes. It is not just about romantic attraction—it feels like two souls recognizing each other again and again across different lives. The promise of “never saying goodbye” becomes the emotional anchor of the entire song, turning love into something eternal rather than temporary.
In the world of the song, love is both comfort and fire. The lover becomes morning and evening, pain and peace, desire and satisfaction all at once. This contradiction is what makes the relationship feel intense and real. Even separation does not weaken it; instead, it strengthens the longing and belief that they are meant to be together no matter what.
The emotional core of the song is devotion without conditions. It imagines a bond where even death or distance cannot break the connection. For listeners, it often feels like a dream version of love—pure, consuming, and everlasting.
