Tere Khat - Jagjit Singh перевод на английский

Tere Khat

Jinko duniyaa kee nigaahon se chhupaae rakhaa
Jinko ik umr kaleje se lagaae rakhaa
Deen jinko, jinhen imaan banaae rakhaa

Tune duniyaa kee nigaahon se jo bachakar likhe
Saal-ha-saal mere naam baraabar likhe
Kabhi din mein to kabhi raat ko uthakar likhe

Tere khushboo mein based khat main jalaata kaise?
Pyaar mein duube hue khat main jalaata kaise?
Tere haathon ke likhe khat main jalaata kaise?

Tere khat aaj main ganga mein baha aayaa hoon
Aag behate hue paani mein lagaa aayaa hoon

Your Letters

The ones I kept hidden from the world's eyes,
The ones I held close to my heart for a lifetime,
The ones I made my religion, my faith,

The ones you wrote, hidden from the world's gaze,
Year after year, you wrote my name consistently,
Sometimes during the day, sometimes waking up at night,

How could I burn letters imbued with your fragrance?
How could I burn letters soaked in love?
How could I burn letters written by your own hands?

Today, I set your letters adrift in the Ganges,
I set fire to them in the flowing water.
