Ya toh aap shikaar karte hai ya shikaar ho jaate hai

Either you're a hunter or you're the prey

Aadmi apna dukh toh phir bhi bardaasht kar leta hai ... lekin apne dushman ka sukh ... hum mein choor choor kar deta hai

We can tolerate our own sorrow ... but the happiness of our enemy ... breaks us apart

Hum inaam mein saansein dete hai ... toh sazaa mein saansein cheen lete hai

I give life as a gift ... hence I take life as a punishment

Hum inaam mein saansein dete hai ... toh sazaa mein saansein cheen lete hai

I give life as a gift ... hence I take life as a punishment

Dheere dheere re mana, dheere sab kuch hoye ... aur maali seenche sau ghada, ritu aave phal hoye

Slowly slowly O mind, everything happens at its own pace ... the gardener may water with a hundred pots, but the fruit arrives only in its season

Aadmi apna dukh toh phir bhi bardaasht kar leta hai ... lekin apne dushman ka sukh ... hum mein choor choor kar deta hai

We can tolerate our own sorrow ... but the happiness of our enemy ... breaks us apart

Yeh jail ki salakhein hum mein qaid kar sakti hai ... hamari badshahat ko nahi

The bars of the jail can lock me up ... but not my rulership

Treta mein chaas mile aur Dvapar mein ghee ... Kalyug mein chai mile so bana banake pee

We got buttermilk in Treta-Yuga (old era) and clarified butter in Dvapara-Yuga (middle era) ... nowadays in the Kali-Yuga (modern era) we get tea, so let's make it and drink that

Pahad ki choti se girke bach sakte hai aap ... lekin ghagre ki chapet mein aake bachna mushkil hai

You can be saved after falling from the top of a mountain ... but it's hard to be saved after coming into the grip of a skirt

Aurat ka dil aur samundar ki gherai ... maapna aasaan nahi hota hai

The heart of a woman and the deepness of the ocean ... is hard to be measured

Galiyan goliyon waali, dosti sadiyon waali ... the shaakon ke kadak patte, jinhe kehte the desi kattey

The streets were full of bullets, the friendship was from ages ... they were fresh leaves from the branches, whom we called as the local gangsters

Ek shareef aadmi doosre shareef aadmi ko bhool sakta hai ... lekin ek gunehgar doosre gunehgar ko nahi bhoolta

A honest person can forget another honest person ... but a criminal can never forget another criminal

Ishq par zor nahin hai, hai yeh woh aatish Ghalib ... joh lagaye na lage, aur bujhaye na bujhe

Love can't be tamed, it's like a fire that overpowers everything else ... at times it doesn't start even after many tries, but once it starts, it's very hard to extinguish

Yeh jail ki salakhein hum mein qaid kar sakti hai ... hamari badshahat ko nahi

The bars of the jail can lock me up ... but not my rulership

Treta mein chaas mile aur Dvapar mein ghee ... Kalyug mein chai mile so bana banake pee

We got buttermilk in Treta-Yuga (old era) and clarified butter in Dvapara-Yuga (middle era) ... nowadays in the Kali-Yuga (modern era) we get tea, so let's make it and drink that

Hamari zindagi hamari hote huye bhi hamesha hamari nahi hoti hai ... hum mein woh zindagi bhi jeeni padti hai jise jeene ki log humse umeed karte hai

Our life being ours is still not always ours ... we also have to live the life what others expect us to live

Jab achchai ke paude pe phal lagne lage na ... toh uske upar burai ki khaad nahi sejhni chahiye

When the tree of goodness has started growing fruits ... then you should not throw the compost of badness on it

Aurat ka dil aur samundar ki gherai ... maapna aasaan nahi hota hai

The heart of a woman and the deepness of the ocean ... is hard to be measured

Jab achchai ke paude pe phal lagne lage na ... toh uske upar burai ki khaad nahi sejhni chahiye

When the tree of goodness has started growing fruits ... then you should not throw the compost of badness on it

Asli khel wahi hai jis mein aakhir tak pata na chale ... ki jeet kiski hogi

A real game is the one in which until the end you don't know ... that who is going to win

Mera sarvanash karne woh parinda uthke aaya tha ... mujhe pakadne ke liye usne abhinay chakra chalaya tha ... parinde ko laga tha ki main is chakra mein mar jaaunga ... usse yeh nahi pata ki main yeh ghosla tabah kar jaaunga

That bird had come to destroy me ... he was using the wheel of guise to catch me ... the bird thought that I'll die in that wheel ... but he wasn't aware that I'll destroy his nest

Insaan apne liye gaye faislo se hi bada hota hai

A man gets bigger by the decisions he takes

Jin khoja tin paiyan, gehre pani paith ... aur tu banwari dooban gayi, rahi kinare baith

Those who seek will find, but one needs to dive deep ... and you were scared of drowning, so you sat on the shore

Police ki vardi har koi pehen sakta hai ... lekin har koi police waala nahi hota

Anyone can wear a police uniform ... but not everyone is a policeman

Hamari zindagi hamari hote huye bhi hamesha hamari nahi hoti hai ... hum mein woh zindagi bhi jeeni padti hai jise jeene ki log humse umeed karte hai

Our life being ours is still not always ours ... we also have to live the life what others expect us to live

Aandhi jab chalti hai na ... toh haath chhodne ka nahi, haath thaamne ka waqt hota hai

When there is a storm blowing ... then it's the time to hold a hand, not to leave it

Pahad ki choti se girke bach sakte hai aap ... lekin ghagre ki chapet mein aake bachna mushkil hai

You can be saved after falling from the top of a mountain ... but it's hard to be saved after coming into the grip of a skirt

Jab sab kaam apne plan ke mutabik hone lage na ... toh kuch gadbadh hoti hai

When everything is going on according to the plan ... then some problem has to come

Nanga aadmi aur dhakki hui lal batti ... inki izzat nahi hoti

A naked person and a concealed red light ... they both don't get any respect

Aisa lagta hai ki yeh bijli ek baar phir giregi ... pata nahi kispe aur kahan

It feels as if this lighting will strike again ... not sure on whom and where

Galiyan goliyon waali, dosti sadiyon waali ... the shaakon ke kadak patte, jinhe kehte the desi kattey

The streets were full of bullets, the friendship was from ages ... they were fresh leaves from the branches, whom we called as the local gangsters

Kisi insaan ka kadh janna ho, toh pata lagao ke uske dushman kaun hai ... jitna bada dushman, utna bada woh

If you want to know the level of a person, then find out who are his enemies ... the bigger his enemies are, the bigger he is

Galiyan goliyon waali, dosti sadiyon waali ... the shaakon ke kadak patte, jinhe kehte the desi kattey

The streets were full of bullets, the friendship was from ages ... they were fresh leaves from the branches, whom we called as the local gangsters

When there is a storm blowing ... then it's the time to hold a hand, not to leave it

Khel ka nasha toh tabhi chadta hai jab samne waala khiladi purana ho

The intoxication of a game comes only when the player on the other side is an old opponent

Aap sirf insaanon ka ilaaj karna jante hai ... bhigdi hui atmaon ka nahi

You only know how to treat humans ... not bad souls

Aisa lagta hai ki yeh bijli ek baar phir giregi ... pata nahi kispe aur kahan

It feels as if this lighting will strike again ... not sure on whom and where

Jab bura waqt aata hai na ... insaan ko apne kadh se ooncha sochna chahiye

When bad time comes ... a human should think higher than his stands

Kisi insaan ka kadh janna ho, toh pata lagao ke uske dushman kaun hai ... jitna bada dushman, utna bada woh

If you want to know the level of a person, then find out who are his enemies ... the bigger his enemies are, the bigger he is

Log humein nahi chhodte hai ... hum logon ko chhodte hai

People don't leave me ... I'm the one who leaves people

Duniya badi zalim hai ... dard pe hasti hai

This world is very ruthless ... it laughs on your pains

Aadmi apna dukh toh phir bhi bardaasht kar leta hai ... lekin apne dushman ka sukh ... hum mein choor choor kar deta hai

We can tolerate our own sorrow ... but the happiness of our enemy ... breaks us apart

Dheere dheere re mana, dheere sab kuch hoye ... aur maali seenche sau ghada, ritu aave phal hoye

When bad time comes ... a human should think higher than his stands

Woh kehte hain ki humse, ki tum mujhe yaad nahi karte ... main kehta hoon ki tu jaye toh teri yaad aaye ... tu saali yahan se jati hi nahi hai ... toh yaad kahan se aayegi

She says to me that I don't remember her ... I say that only if you go, can I remember you ... you don't go from here ... then how can I remember you

Asli khel wahi hai jis mein aakhir tak pata na chale ... ki jeet kiski hogi

A real game is the one in which until the end you don't know ... that who is going to win

Aandhi jab chalti hai na ... toh haath chhodne ka nahi, haath thaamne ka waqt hota hai
