Tarannum woh ke joh dil se chale toh lab-e-shayar mein jaadu sa bhar de ... magar hothon se jab goonje fiza mein toh zameen aur asmaan ko ek karde

A melody should be such that, when it flows from the heart then it should feel like the poet is a magician ... but when it echoes from the lips into the air, then it should unite the earth and the sky

Main awara sifat ka kya bataun, jahan behatun meri mehfil wahin hai ... mohabbat hai jahan bhi zameen pe, main shayar hoon meri manzil wahin hai

What can I say about my wanderer nature, as wherever I sit a gathering forms there ... I am a poet and my destination lies wherever love exists on this earth

Aye chasm-e-tamasha jhoom zara, ab waqt nazara aa pahuncha ... Kashmir mein do din jeene ko Kashmir ka maara aa pahuncha

O eye of spectacle sway a little, as the moment to witness has finally arrived ... to live for just two days in Kashmir, the one who longed for Kashmir has finally arrived

Joh lakhon karodon ke samajh mein aa jaye wohi meri zubaan hai ... joh lakhon karodon ko bha jaye wohi mera jazba hai ... mera dil na Hindu hai, na Musalman hai, na Sikh hai, na Isaai hai ... mera dil insaan hai, mera dil Hindustan hai

The language I speak is the one that millions can understand ... the passion I hold is the one that resonates with millions ... my heart is neither Hindu, nor Muslim, nor Sikh, nor Christian ... my heart is human, my heart is India

Biwi woh cheez hai joh narak ko swarg, aur swarg ko narak bana sakti hai

A wife is someone who can turn hell into heaven, and heaven into hell

Prem ki pukaar agar sau-fi-sadi sach nahi hai ... toh isse bada jhooth duniya mein koi nahi ho sakta hai

If the call of love isn't a hundred percent true ... then there can be no greater lie in the world

Sangeet ke liye masti ki zaroorat hoti hai, aur mast hone ke liye sangeet ki ... aur kavi banne ke liye sangeet ki bhi aur masti ki bhi

Music needs joy, and to be joyful you need music ... also to become a poet, you need both music and joy

Mohabbat ki kahani kuch aisi hi hoti hai ... kabhi baat banti hai, kabhi banne se pehle hi bighad jaati hai

The story of love is just like that ... sometimes things fall into place, and sometimes they fall apart even before they begin

Jab nahi hoti ho toh mujhe yaad aati ho ... aur jab hoti ho toh aisa lagta hai ki ho nahi

When you're not around then I miss you ... and when you're around then it feels like you're not here

Tum aam hote huye bhi khaas ho ... mitti mein baste huye bhi sona ho

You are ordinary, yet special ... you dwell in soil, but still precious as gold
