Jab tak hai jaan ...
as long as I live..

Teri hansi ki beparwah gustakhiyan
Teri zulfon ki leharati angdaiyan
Nahi bhoolunga main
the carefree forwardness of your eyes,
the wavey stretching of your hair,
I'll not forget, as long as I live..

Tera saayon se rukh modna
Tera palat ke phir na dekhna
Nahi maaf karunga main
your turning away from the shadows (of mine),
your not turning back to see,
I'll not forgive,

Baat baat pe bewajah tere roothne se
Chhoti chhoti teri bachkani badmashiyon se
Mohabbat karunga main
Your gentle furies raging,
Over little things, in vain,
Your childish naughty ways,
I will love you, through my days,

Tere jalte sulagte khwabon se
Teri be raham duaao se
Nafrat karunga main
The torment of my thoughts,
Seething flames that mourn,
The ashes of my heart,
Your brutal prayers have wrought,
I will always scorn, this burning strife,

Jab tak hai jaan...
as long as I live...
