meri jaan hai tu ye jaane jaa
meri jaan hai tu ye jaane jaa
jaan bina mai kaise jiyu
tere dam se hai pehchaan meri
pehchaan bina me kaise jiyu
me kaise jiyu, me kaise jiyu

mashab to pyaar sikhaata hai
mashab to pyaar sikhaata hai
phir milne me majburi kyu
diwaar uthe kyu rasmo ki
diwaar uthe kyu rasmo ki
he jismo jaan me duri kyu
is dil ko hai armaan tera
armaan bina kaise jiyu
me kaise jiyu, me kaise jiyu
meri jaan hai tu ye jaane jaa

tera chehara dekh ke din nikale
tera chehara dekh ke din nikale
teri palko me shame dhalti hai
is dil me dhadkan tujhse hai
is dil me dhadkan tujhse hai
tere naam se saanse chalti hai
ye jiwan hai ehsaas tera
ye jiwan hai ehsaas tera
ehsaan bina kaise jiyu
me kaise jiyu, me kaise jiyu
meri jaan hai tu ye jaane jaa
jaan bina mai kaise jiyu
tere dam se hai pehchaan meri
pehchaan bina kaise jiyu
me kaise jiyu, me kaise jiyu
me kaise jiyu, me kaise jiyu

You are my life, know this, dear one,
You are my life, know this, dear one.
How can I live without my life?
My identity breathes in you,
How can I live without my name?
How can I live? How can I live?

Religion teaches only love,
Religion teaches only love.
Then why this forced separation?
Why rise these walls of custom?
Why rise these walls of custom?
Why this divide between soul and form?
This heart holds only your desire,
How can I live without desire?
How can I live? How can I live?
You are my life, know this, dear one.

Your face brings forth the morning,
Your face brings forth the morning,
In your lashes, evenings softly fall.
In this heart, your presence beats,
In this heart, your presence beats,
By your name, my breath takes hold.
This life is but your felt essence,
This life is but your felt essence.

How can I live without your essence?
How can I live? How can I live?
You are my life, know this, dear one.
Know this, how can I live?
My identity breathes in you,
How can I live without my name?
How can I live? How can I live?
How can I live? How can I live?
