Kal Ho Naa Ho lyrics English translation
Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi.
Every moment, life keeps changing its form.
Chaanv hai kabhi, kabhi hai dhoop zindagi
Sometimes it’s shade, sometimes it’s sunlight.
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo.
Live every moment here to the fullest.
Jo hai samaa, kal ho naa ho. (2)
This moment may not be here tomorrow.
Chahe jo tumhe poore dil se,
The one who loves you with all their heart—
milta hai woh mushkil se.
is found only with great difficulty.
Aisa jo koi kahin hai,
If such a person exists somewhere,
bas wahi sabse hasin hai.
then that one is the most beautiful of all.
Us haath ko tum thaam lo.
Hold on to that hand.
Woh meherbaan, kal ho naa ho.
That kind soul may not be there tomorrow.
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo.
Live every moment here to the fullest.
Jo hai samaa, kal ho naa ho.
This moment may not be here tomorrow.
Palko ke leke saaye, paas koi jo aaye,
When someone comes close under the shade of your eyelids,
lakh sambhalo paagal dil ko,
even if you try a thousand times to restrain your crazy heart,
dil dhadke hi jaaye.
the heart just keeps beating faster.
Par soch lo, is pal hai jo…
But think—whatever exists in this moment,
woh dastaan, kal ho naa ho.
that story may not exist tomorrow.
Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi.
Every moment, life keeps changing its form.
Chaanv hai kabhi, kabhi hai dhoop zindagi
Sometimes it’s shade, sometimes it’s sunlight.
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo.
Live every moment here to the fullest.
Jo hai samaa, kal ho naa ho. (2)
This moment may not be here tomorrow.
