Zindagi mein to sabhi pyaar kiyaa with English Translation

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar kiyaa karte hain
In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will love you even when I am dead

Tuu milaa hai to ye ehsaas hu'aa hai mujhko
Ever since I have met you, I felt that

Ye merii umr muhabbat ke liye thoRii hai
This life is too short for love

Ek zaraa saa Gham-e-dauraan kaa bhii haq hai jis par
The sorrows of the world for which one should spare a thought

Main ne vo saans bhii tere liye rakh chhoRii hai
Even that last breath, I have devoted to you

Tujh pe ho jaauungaa qurbaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will die for you, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will love you even when I am dead

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar kiyaa karte hain
In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Apne jazbaat mein naghmaat rachaane ke liye
To express my emotions in my songs

Main ne dharkan kii tarah dil mein basaayaa hai tujhe
I have kept you in my heart like a heartbeat

Main tasavvur bhii judaa'ii kaa bhalaa kaise karuun
How can I imagine, to be separated from you

Main ne qismat kii lakiiron se churaayaa hai tujhe
I have stole you for myself from the fate

Pyaar kaa ban ke nigehbaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will be the caretaker for your love, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will love you even when I am dead

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar kiyaa karte hain
In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Terii har chaap se jalte hain khayaalon mein chiraag
The sounds of your footsteps light up my thoughts

Jab bhii tuu aaye jagaataa hu_aa jaaduu aaye
Whenever you appear, it is like live magic

Tujhko chhuu luun to phir ai jaan-e-tamannaa mujhko
If I touch you, my love

Der tak apne badan se terii Khushbuu aaye
Your fragrance emanates from my body for a long time

Tuu bahaaron kaa hai unvaan tujhe chaahuungaa
You are the one that the Spring talks about, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe chaahuungaa
I will love you even when I am dead

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar kiyaa karte hain
In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

  7. If you all forgive me for not agreeing with the first line. To my understanding it is like this: "Everyone loves someone when he/she is alive (or until death)". Please let me know if you agree.

    1. I humbly want to say: it may not be about he or she. That is fine but I was talking about the translation of 'zindegi mein'.

  10. I agree with Akim Islam ji above.
    Zindagii mein here denotes "while you are alive", not in a lifetime.

    Can sacrifice be used instead of die for Qurbaan
