(o, jab hum niklay…)
When we get going, a storm we bring
Our breaths becoming the wind
(roko gai kaisay…)
Thinking of stopping us?
We are unstoppable
(dastaan apni…)
This tale of ours
Brings hearts together
(teri ankhon main…)
It is that strength of love in your eyes
That makes us victorious
(mela loot liya…)
Stole the show
Danced the night away
Along with the fun and play
A full life, living every day
(maidan maar…)
Conquered the field
When you shared your love
What the heart desired
Did just that
(hay jaisay…)
As in a galaxy of constellations, be a star
In this world, is this garden of ours
(hum iss say…)
We are because of it, it is our pride
My country, my life
(mela loot liya…)
Stole the show
Danced the night away
Along with the fun and play
A full life, living every day
(maidan maar…)
Conquered the field
When you shared your love
What the heart desired
Did just that
(oooh oooh oooh oooh…)
(oooh oooh oooh oooh…)
(kabhi koyi…)
For some there is victory, for others loss
An amazing game of life, this is
(dil bara…)
With generosity, win all the hearts
The only way to coming together, it is
(dunya main aya…)
Since you’re already here
Make a dent before you go
(keh loag kahain…)
So people say
Here you…
(mela loot liya…)
Stole the show
Danced the night away
Along with the fun and play
A full life, living every day
(maidan maar…)
Conquered the field
When you shared your love
What the heart desired
Did just that
(jab hum niklay…)
When we get going, a storm we bring
Our breaths becoming the wind
(roko gai kaisay…)
Thinking of stopping us?
We are unstoppable
(dastaan apni…)
This tale of ours
Brings hearts together
(teri ankhon main…)
It is that strength of love in your eyes
That makes us victorious
(mela loot liya…) [x3]
Stole the show
Danced the night away
Along with the fun and play
A full life, living every day
(maidan maar…)
Conquered the field
When you shared your love
What the heart desired
Did just that
