जनम जनम
Touch on each word to display its meaning
जनम जनम जनम , साथ चलना यूँ ही
क़सम तुम्हें क़सम , आ के मिलना यहीं
एक जान है भले , दो बदन हों जुदा
मेरी हो के हमेशा ही रहना
कभी न कहना अलविदा
Life after life, life must pass together, just this way
Promise me, promise to come and meet me right here,
it might well be one soul, but we are still two separated bodies
Be mine and remain so forever,
you must never say goodbye!
मेरी सुबह हो तुम्हीं , और तुम ही शाम हो
तुम दर्द हो , तुम ही आराम हो
मेरी दुआओं से आती है बस यह सदा
मेरी हो के हमेशा ही रहना
कभी न कहना अलविदा
[ both lines x2 ]
My morning is just you, and you alone are my evening
You are (my) pain, you are (my) relief
From my prayers, only this cry comes:
Be mine and remain so forever,
you must never say goodbye!
[both lines x2]
तेरी बाँहों में हैं मेरे दोनों जहान
तू रहे जिधर , मेरी जंनत वहीँ
जल रही अगन है जो ये दो तरफ़ा
न बुझे कहीं मेरी मंनत यहीं
तू मेरी आरज़ू , मैं तेरी आशिक़ी
तू मेरी शायरी , मैं तेरी मौसिक़ी
Both my worlds lie in your arms
wherever you reside, my heaven is that very place
This flame that is burning, is two-sided
My vow is that it never be extinguished
You are my longing, I am your love
You are my poem, am your music
तलब तलब तलब , बस तेरी है मुझे
नसों में तू नशा बन के घुलना यूँ ही
मेरी मोहब्बत का करना हक़ यह अदा
मेरी हो के हमेशा ही रहना
कभी न कहना अलविदा
Desire, desire, desire, to me, is only for you
You must, converted into intoxication, dissolve in my veins
Perform this repayment of my love:
Be mine and remain so forever,
you must never say goodbye!
मेरी सुबह हो तुम्हीं , और तुम ही शाम हो
तुम दर्द हो , तुम ही आराम हो
मेरी दुआओं से आती है बस यह सदा
मेरी हो के हमेशा ही रहना
कभी न कहना अलविदा
अलविदा …
My morning is just you, and you alone are my evening
You are (my) pain, you are (my) relief
From my prayers, only one cry comes:
Be mine and remain so forever,
you must never say goodbye!
Goodbye …

janam janam (Hindi: जनम जनम, Urdu: جَنَم جَنَم) “Life, Life” is a song played in the 2015 Indian film ‘Dilwale”.
janam can also be used to address a loved one: “Oh, (my) life!”
The video clip shows movie scenes of the protagonists, Raj (Shah Rukh Khan), and Meera (Kajol), both heirs of rival crime families, during one of their many reconciliations.
In this case, family and friends arranged an encounter by tampering with Meera’s car, knowing that Raj, who now works as a mechanic, would volunteer to help.
Raj and Meera end up reconciling yet again and dancing under the rain.
When Meera says “both worlds” in the stanza:
terii baaNhoN meN haiN mere donoN jahaan
Both my worlds lie in your arms
tuu rahe jidhar merii jannat vahiiN
wherever you reside, my heaven is that very place
those “both worlds” refer to this life and the afterlife, a very common trope in Hindustani romantic poetry
The song’s lyrics were written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, and the music was composed by Pritam .
The playback singers were Arijit Singh for the male parts, and Antara Mitra for the female parts.
