Jab Tak Hai Jaan - The Poem Lyrics

Roman script

Teri aankhon ki namkeen mastiyan
Teri hansi ki beparwaah gustakhiyaan
Teri zulfon ki leharaati angdaiyaan
Nahi bhoolunga main
Jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan
Tera haath se haath chhodna
Tera saayon se rukh modna
Tera palat ke phir na dekhna
Nahin maaf karunga main
Jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan
Baarishon mein bedhadak tere naachne se
Baat baat pe bewajah tere roothne se
Chhoti chhoti teri bachkani badmashiyon se
Mohabbat karunga main
Jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan..
Tere jhoothe kasme vaadon se
Tere jalte sulagte khwabon se
Teri be-raham duaaon se
Nafrat karunga main
Jab tak hai jaan, jab tak hai jaan

Translation to EnglishYour eyes, mischievous and saline.
Your laugh, an airy insolence.
Your hair, waves undone and shine.
I will not forget this memory rife.
Until I breathe this life.
Until I breathe this life.
Your hand slipping from mine
Your shadow turning its gaze, walking away..
Without turning into a haze
I will not forgive this memory rife
Until I breathe this life
Until I breathe this life
Your dancing heedless in the rain
Your gentle furies raging
Over little things, in vain
Your childish naughty ways
I will love you, through my days
Until I breathe this life
Until I breathe this life
Your promises lie torn
The torment of my thoughts
Seething flames that mourn
The ashes of my heart
Your brutal prayers have wrought
I will always scorn, this burning strife
Until I breathe this life
Until I breathe this life.
