अलविदा
Touch on each word to display its meaning
जाने कैसे ,
टूटे रिश्तों से
बिखरे हैं ये पल ?
Who knows how,
these moments are sprinkled
with broken relationships ?
मानो जैसे ,
ग़म की पलकों से
छलके हैं ये पल ।
It is as if
these moments were spilled
from eyelashes of sadness.
क्यूँ अधूरी यह कहानी ?
क्यूँ अधूरा यह फ़साना ?
क्यूँ लकीरों में इसके
अलविदा ?
Why is this tale incomplete?
Why is this romance incomplete?
Why, within its boundaries, is there
a goodbye?
उम्र भर का साथ दे जो ,
क्यूँ वह ही प्यार हो ?
क्यूँ न मिट के जो फ़ना हो ,
वह भी प्यार हो ?
Company that is given lifelong.
why only that would be love?
Why isn't also love,
that which is erased and departed?
न अधूरी यह कहानी ,
न अधूरा यह फ़साना .
मर के भी न हम कहेंगे
अलविदा ।
This tale is not incomplete.
This romance is not incomplete.
Even after dying, we won't say
goodbye.
बैरिया मेरे रब्बा ,
क्यूँ हुआ मेरे रब्बा ?
यूँ न [ dhaaviiN ],
यूँ न [ dhaaviiN ],
दो दिलाँ दी यह कहानी ।
Oh my God,
why have you become my enemy?
Do not demolish like this,
do not demolish like this
this story of two hearts.
मिट भी जाऊँ , न मिटे ,
यह कैसी प्यास है ?
दूरियों में खो के भी
तू मेरे पास है ।
Which thirst is this,
that doesn't leave when I do?
You are lost in the distance,
but still close to me
क्योंकि तू मेरी कहानी ,
क्योंकि तू मेरा फ़साना .
अब कभी फिर न है कहना
अलविदा ।
Because you are my tale,
because you are my romance.
Now, we don't have to say
goodbye again.
तेरी यादों को सहलाता हूँ /
न कहना
पल में बन के
बिखरता हूँ /
[ hums ]
जिस जहान में
खो गई हो तुम /
अलविदा
क्या नहीं है वहाँ
टूटी तन्हाइयों का ग़म ?
I caress your memories /
don't say
One moment I am composed,
then ruined /
[hums]
This world in which,
you became lost /
goodbye
Is there no
sorrow of broken solitudes?
बैरिया मेरे रब्बा ,
क्यूँ हुआ मेरे रब्बा ?
यूँ न [ dhaaviiN ],
यूँ न [ dhaaviiN ],
दो दिलाँ दी यह कहानी ।
Oh my God,
why have you become my enemy?
Do not demolish like this,
do not demolish like this
this story of two hearts.
जाने कैसे ,
टूटे रिश्तों से
बिखरे हैं ये पल / न कहना
मानो जैसे
ग़म की पलकों से
छलके हैं ये पल / अलविदा
Who knows why,
these moments are sprinkled
with broken relationships ? / don't say
It is as if
these moments were spilled
from eyelashes of sadness. / goodbye
क्यूँ अधूरी यह कहानी ? / [ hums ]
[ hums ] … अलविदा …
Why is this tale incomplete? / [hums]
[hums] … goodbye …

alvidaa (Hindi: अलविदा, Urdu: الوِداع) "Goodbye", is a song written by Indian lyricist and screenwriter Niranjan Iyengar.
It was featured in the 2013 Indian spy thriller "D-day". The music was created by the composer trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (also known as SEL).
In the movie, it is played under tragic circumstances, while an Indian spy (played by actor Arjun Rampal), reminisces his love relationship with a Pakistani prostitute (played by Shruti Haasan).
The song is almost completely written in standard Hindustani, except for some pseudo-Punjabi words in the chorus, added for effect.
For example, the word dhaaviiN is not a real Hindustani word, but a Punjabi-sounding verb in imperative meaning "to pull down, to demolish".
yuuN na dhaaviiN, yuuN na dhaaviiN,
do dilaaN dii yah kahaanii
Do not demolish, do not demolish in such a way
this story of two hearts.
(Similarly, dilaaN and dii are also Punjabi)
The actual movie scenes used as trailer are a little truculent, so I posted another Youtube video showing a static image with lyrics.
The singers are Nikhil D'Souza, Sukhwinder Singh, Shruti Haasan herself, and Loy Mendonsa.
