Pyara pyara mera desh,
Sajaa-sanwaara mera desh,
Duniya jis par garv kare–
Nayan sitaara mera desh.
Chaandi-sona mera desh,
Safal salona mera desh,
Sural jaisa aalokit–
Sukh ka kona mera desh.
Phoolon waala mera desh,
Jhoolon waala mera desh,
Ganga-Yamuna ki maala ka,
Phoolon waala mera desh.
Aage jaaye mera desh,
Nit naye muskaaye mera desh.
Itihaason mein barh-charh kar
Naam likha haye mera desh
दूर धरा से चाँद को निहारती
होकर
We are often greatly bothered
By two fussy little men,
Who sometimes block our pa
log kehte hai jamin par kisi ko khuda nahi milta
लोग कहते हैं ज़मीं पर किसी को खुदा नह
To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury,
and refine
बस थोड़ी सी देर के लिए तुम्हारा मुझसे
क्या यह जरूरी है कि मेरे हाथों में
I wish not to love you much,
Only to love you well.
Much is but a quantity,
मैं मोहब्बत हूँ मोहब्बत करके देख,
We knew love had no space.
No choice, but to force it into
tight space. We handle
Her long black hair blowing in the wind
I slowly kiss her soft black skin
The way
