Tumse do Lafzon mein Jab Tak Hai Jaan Title song Lyrics Translation

Movie: Jab Tak Hai Jaan
Music: A R Rahman
Lyrics: Gulzar
Singer: Javed Ali, Shakthisree Gopalan

Tumse hi jeete rahe
tumpe hi marte rahe,
jab tak hai jaan..

I kept living from you,
I kept dying on you,
as long as there is life..

tumse do lafzon mein,
tumse ye kehna tha..
tumse hi mohabbat thi,
tumse hi mohabbat hai,
tumse kehna hai, yoon rehna hai,
jab tak hai jaan..

To you, in two words,
To you, I have to say,
You are the one I always loved,
You're the one I love..
I have to say, I have to live like this,
as long as I live..

teri aankhon ke sajde mein
rehna palkon ke parde mein
jab tak hai jab tak hai jaan
teri baahon ki narmi mein,
saanson ki garmi mein,
jab tak hai jab tak hai jaan

In prayer to your eyes,
I have to live hidden, (lit: under curtains)
long as I live, long as I live..
in the softness of your arms,
in the heat of your breaths,
long as I live, long as I live..

tumse do lafzon mein,
tumse ye kehna tha..
tumse hi mohabbat thi,
tumse hi mohabbat hai,
tumse kehna hai, yoon rehna hai,
jab tak hai jaan..

raatein jaagenge raaton mein,
teri bemaani baaton mein,
kori kori shaamon mein,
gungunaaye kaano mein,
jab tak hai jab tak hai jaan

we'll wake for nights, all nights,
in your useless talks,
in free, untouched evenings,
someone will whisper into my ears,
long as I live, long as I live..
long as I live, long as I live..
