مَیں جہاں رَہوں
Touch on each word to display its meaning
مَیں جہاں رَہوں ، مَیں کہیں بھی ہوُں
تیری یاد ساتھ ہے
Wherever I live, wherever I am
the memory of you is with me
مَیں جہاں رَہوں ، مَیں کہیں بھی ہوُں
تیری یاد ساتھ ہے
کِسی سے کہوں ، کِہ نَہِیں کہوں
یہ جو دِل کی بات ہے
Wherever I live, wherever I am
memories of you are with me
Should I tell someone or not,
this, which is a matter of (my) heart?
کہنے کو ساتھ اپْنے ایک دُنیا چَلْتی ہے
پَر چھپ کے اِس دِل میں تنہائی پلتی ہے
بَس یاد ساتھ ہے
تیری یاد ساتھ ہے [ x3 ]
Outwardly, there is a world moving by one's side,
but loneliness is secretly nurtured in this heart (of mine)
Just your memory keeps me company
the memory of you is with me [x3]
مَیں جہاں رَہوں ، مَیں کہیں بھی ہوُں
تیری یاد ساتھ ہے
کِسی سے کہوں ، کِہ نَہِیں کہوں
یہ جو دِل کی بات ہے
Wherever I live, wherever I am
memories of you are with me
Should I tell someone or not,
this, which is a matter of (my) heart?
کہیں تو دِل میں یادوں کی اِک سُولی گَڑْ جاتی ہے
کہیں ہر ایک تصویر بَہُت ہی دُھن٘دْھلی پڑ جاتی ہے
کوئی نئی دُنیا کے نئے رنگوں میں خوش رَہْتا ہے
کوئی سب کُچھ پا کے بھی یہ مَن ہی مَن کہتا ہے
Someplace inside the heart, there is a piercing stake of memories
Someplace else, every single picture suddenly starts to get markedly faded
Some stay happy in the new colors of the world
Some others despite having achieved everything, still say this deep within:
کہنے کو ساتھ اپْنے ایک دُنیا چَلْتی ہے
پَر چھپ کے اِس دِل میں تنہائی پلتی ہے
بَس یاد ساتھ ہے
تیری یاد ساتھ ہے [ x3 ]
Outwardly, there is a world moving by one's side,
but loneliness is secretly nurtured in this heart (of mine)
Just your memory keeps me company
the memory of you is with me [x3]
کہیں تو بیتے کل کی جَڑیں دِل میں ہی اتر جاتی ہَیں
کہیں جو دھاگے ٹوٹے تو مالائیں بکھر جاتی ہَیں
کوئی دِل میں جگہ نئی ، باتوں کے لِئے رکھتا ہے
کوئی اپْنی پلکوں پَر یادوں کے دیے رکھتا ہے
Sometimes the roots of yesterday just descend into the heart
Sometimes, if threads break, then beads get scattered
Some save some empty space for new matters in their hearts
Some others keep the lamps of memories on their eyelids
کہنے کو ساتھ اپْنے ایک دُنیا چَلْتی ہے
پَر چھپ کے اِس دِل میں تنہائی پلتی ہے
بَس یاد ساتھ ہے
تیری یاد ساتھ ہے [ x2 ]
Outwardly, there is a world moving by one's side,
but loneliness is secretly nurtured in this heart (of mine)
Just your memory keeps me company
the memory of you is with me [x2]

maiN jahaaN rahuuN (Hindi: मैं जहाँ रहूँ, Urdu: میں جہاں رہوں) "Wherever I Live/Stay"
is a song featured in the Bollywood movie "Namastay London".
The movie, starred by Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, and Rishi Kapoor, is about a family of Indian expatriates who get reacquainted with tier roots.
The song is used during the opening credits, during Manmohan (Kapoor), her daughter Jasmeet (Kaif), and her wife, visit several touristic Indian locations.
Later during their trip, Jasmeet is forced into an arranged marriage with Arjun (Kumar).
The playback singers were Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and Krishna Beura.
The song became popular and the singers have interpreted it again in several other opportunities and venues, and many other artists made covers of it.
This video clip is a studio reproduction of the song, because the sound is better than in the soundtrack, where it is mixed with the movie sound.
The song's music was composed by Himesh Reshammiya, and the lyrics were written by Javed Akhtar.
