qurbaan huaa tere tishngii meN yuuN
qurbaan huaa terii aashiqii meN yuuN
beqadii meN , bexudii meN , beksii meN huaa
tujhko har duaa dii , aur davaa bhii , aur fanaa huaa
Sacrificed in (my) thirst for you, just like this,
Sacrificed in (my) love for you, just like this,
It was in boundlessness, in ecstasy, in helplessness
I gave you every prayer, and every cure, and I was annihilated
qurbaan huaa , qurbaan huaa
adaa pe , vafaa pe , jafaa pe
qurbaan huaa , qurbaan huaa , ho
Sacrificed, sacrificed
for your charm, for your loyalty, for your cruelty
Sacrificed, sacrificed, oh!
ruu-baruu tuu , magar tanhaa hai ye jahaan
jal uThe mere kufr se saaNsoN kaa ye samaaN
kyaa huaa , pal meN jaane kho gayaa kyuuN
tuu milaa aur judaa iimaan huaa yuuN
bexudii meN , beqadii meN , beksii meN huaa
tujhko har duaa dii , aur davaa bhii , aur fanaa huaa
You face-to-face, yet this world is lonely
This atmosphere of breaths was burned by my disbelief
Who knows what happened? In a moment, I lost myself, why?
I met you, and my faith grew apart, like this
In ecstasy, in boundlessness, in helplessness, it happened)
I gave you every prayer, and every cure, and I was annihilated
qurbaan huaa , qurbaan huaa
adaa pe , vafaa pe , jafaa pe
qurbaan huaa , qurbaan huaa , ho
Sacrificed, sacrificed
for your charm, for your loyalty, for your cruelty
Sacrificed, sacrificed, oh!
marne kaa savaab maaNgtaa rahaa darbadar
miTne ko to dil pal meN raazii huaa
puurii huii har aarzuu , har daastaan merii
ki tum shuruu hue jahaaN , maiN xatam huaa
I kept begging door to door, for the reward of dying
in a moment, my heart was willing to be erased
Every one of my desires, of my stories, was fulfilled:
that where you began, I ended
qurbaan huaa , qurbaan huaa
adaa pe , vafaa pe , jafaa pe
qurbaan huaa , qurbaan huaa , ho
Sacrificed, sacrificed
for your charm, for your loyalty, for your cruelty
Sacrificed, sacrificed, oh!

qurbaan huaa (Hindi: क़ुर्बान हुआ, Urdu: قربان ہوا) "Sacrificed" is a song released as part of the soundtrack of the 2009 Bollywood movie "Kurbaan". Notice that in both the names of the film and the song, the spelling of the word qurbaan (sacrifice) is done with a "k", a very usual simplification in Hindi and its Latin transcriptions.
The movie is about Avantika, a university professor (Kareena Kapoor) who falls in love with her colleague Ehsaan (Saif Ali Khan), only to discover later that he is an undercover terrorist. The song describes how she is torn between this realization and the love she still feels for him.
The song's lyrics were written by Niranjan Iyengar, and the music was composed by the duo Salim-Sulaiman. In the movie, the singer is Vishal Dadlani.
Sony Music India also released a video clip starring Saif Ali Khan to promote the song independently. In more recent times the singer Melissa Srivastava released her own, soulful interpretation in social networks, which in my opinion is better than the original (putting aside her lacking Urdu pronunciation).
