Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Mein Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Woh Bichhad Jaaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai

Sometimes in life,Aditi somebody looks like he is our own
Sometimes Aditi when he seperates from us,it looks like a dreams

Aise Mein Koi Kaise Apne Aansuon Ko Behnay Se Roke
Aur Kaise Koi Sochle Ki Everything's Gonna Be Okay

In such a situation how can one stop his tears from flowing?
And how can one think that everything will get right?

Kabhi Kabhi Toh Lage Zindagi Mein Rahi Na Khushi Aur Na Maza
Kabhi Kabhi Toh Lage Har Din Mushkil Aur Har Pal Ek Saza

Sometimes one feels that there is no happiness and fun in life
Sometimes one feels like every day is very diificult to live and every moment feels like a punishment

Aise Mein Koi Kaise Muskuraaye, Kaise Has De Khush Hoke
Aur Kaise Koi Sochle Ki Everything's Gonna Be Okay

In such times how can one smile and laugh?
And how can one think that everything will get right?

Soch Zara Jan-E-Jaan Tujh Ko Hum Kitna Chahte Hain
Rotay Hain Hum Bhi Agar Teri Aankhon Mein Aansun Aate Hain

Think O beloved how much I love you?
I also cry if tears come in your eyes

Gaana Toh Aata Nahi Hai Magar Phir Bhi Hum Gaate Hain
Hey Aditi Maan Kabhi Kabhi Saare Jahan Mein Andhera Hota Hai
Lekin Raat Ke Baad Hi Toh Savera Hota Hai

I dont know how to sing but still I sing
Aditi, sometimes there is darkness in whole world
But morning comes after night

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Mein Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Woh Bichhar Jaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai

Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara
Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura

Aditi laugh a little
Else atleast smile a little

Tu Khush Hai Toh Lage Ke Jahaan Main Chhayi Hai Khushi
Sooraj Nikle Baadalon Se Aur Baantay Zindagi

If you are happy, it looks like the whole world is happy
Sun comes out from the clouds and distributes life

Sun Toh Zara Madhosh Hawa Tujhse Kehne Lagi
Ki Aditi Woh Jo Bichhadte Hain Ik Na Ik Din Phir Mil Jate
Yeh Aditi Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na Phool Phir Khil Jate Hain

Listen what the passionate air is saying to you
That Aditi, those who are seperated, get together one day
Aditi you dont know that flowers blossom again


Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi Mein Yun Hi Koi Apna Lagta Hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Who Bichhad Jaye Toh Ek Sapna Lagta Hai
Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara
Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura

Note: 'Aditi' means 'unbounded'.
