Translation |
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri kahani hai | My story will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri hasti hai | My existence will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri jawani hai | My youth will last only for a moment or two |
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri kahani hai | My story will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri hasti hai | My existence will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri jawani hai | My youth will last only for a moment or two |
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
|
|
| Mujhse pehle kitne shayar aaye | So many poets came before me |
| Aur aakar chale gaye | They came and they left |
| Kuch aahein bharkar laut gaye | Some cried and returned |
| Kuch nagme gaakar chale gaye | Some sang songs and left |
| Woh bhi ek pal ka kisa the | They were also a part of the moment |
| Main bhi ek pal ka kisa hoon | I'm also a part of the moment |
| Kal tumse juda ho jaunga | Tomorrow I'll separate from you |
| Woh aaj tumhara hisa hoon | Though I'm a part of your present today |
|
|
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri kahani hai | My story will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri hasti hai | My existence will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri jawani hai | My youth will last only for a moment or two |
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
|
|
| Kal aur aayenge | A few more will come tomorrow |
| Nagmo ki khilti kaliyan chunne wale | Who will pick blossoming songs |
| Mujhse behtar kehne wale | There will be better narrators than me |
| Tumse behtar sunne wale | And better listeners than you |
| Kal koi mujhko yaad kare | I wish someone will remember me tomorrow |
| Kyun koi mujhko yaad kare | But why will someone remember me |
| Mashroof zamana mere liye | Why will this busy world |
| Kyun waqt apna barbad kare | Waste its time for me |
|
|
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri kahani hai | My story will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri hasti hai | My existence will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri jawani hai | My youth will last only for a moment or two |
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri kahani hai | My story will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri hasti hai | My existence will last only for a moment or two |
| Pal do pal meri jawani hai | My youth will last only for a moment or two |
| Main pal do pal ka shayar hoon | I'm a poet only for a moment or two |
