Tere Liye, Hum Hain Jiye, Hothon Ko Siye
For you, I have lived on, keeping my lips sealed.
Tere Liye, Hum Hain Jiye, Har Aansoo Piye
For you, I have lived on, swallowing every tear.
Dil Mein Magar, Jalte Rahe, Chahat Ke Diye
Yet in my heart, the lamps of love kept burning.
Tere Liye, Tere Liye
For you, for you alone.

Zindagi Leke Aayi Hai, Beete Dino Ki Kitaab

Gher Liya Ab Humein Yaadein Behisaab
Countless memories have now surrounded me.
Bina Poochhe Mile Mujhe Kitne Saare Jawaab
Without asking a single question, I found so many answers.
Chaha Tha Kya, Paaya Hai Kya, Humne Dekhiye
Look at what I had wished for and what I actually received.
Dil Mein Magar, Jalte Rahe, Chahat Ke Diye
Yet in my heart, the lamps of love kept burning.
