Lyrics Translated:

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale

Come come below the decorated tent of life

Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale

Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..

Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..

Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai

Slowly Slowly Really I lost my life

Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai

Spent my nights dancing on coal

Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di

I blew the sleep in my eyes with air from my mouth

Neele Tare Se Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai

I burned my finger with blue star

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale

Come come below the decorated tent of life

Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale

Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..

Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..

Chakh Le, Ha Chakh Le, Ye Raat Shahad Hai.. Chakh Le

Taste it, yes taste it, this night is honey, taste it

Rakh Le, Ha Dil Hai, Dil Aakhri Had Hai.. Rakh Le

Keep it, yes this is heart, heart is last limit.. Keep it

Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na

(your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?

Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na

(your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale

Come come below the decorated tent of life

Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..

Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..

Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Tu Lab Pe Ruki Hai.. Kab De

Since when, yes since when, you have stopped at my lips.. since when

Kab De, Ha Kab De Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Kab De

Since when, yes since when, (your) eyes are closed.. since when

Aisi Aisi Roshan Aankhe Roshan Dono Bhi Hai Hai Kya

Like this, Like this, lightening eyes, making both lightened, yes, yes, what?

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale

Come come below the decorated tent of life

Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee
