Kaho na Kaho was originally sung by Amr Diab, the famous Egyptian singer called “Tameli Ma’ak” (I’m always with you). In the Hindi version, the singer includes some Arabic.
Hindi:
Kaho na kaho ye aankhen boltii hai, o sanam o sanam, o mere sanam
Whether you speak or not, your eyes say it all. Oh darling, Oh darling, Oh my darling
Mohabbat ke safar mein, ye sahaara hai
In the journey of love, this is my support
Wafaa ke saahilon ka ye kinaara hai
This is the shore of fidelity
Baadalon se uunchii uRaanuum kii
(those eyes) whose flight soars above the clouds,
Sabse alag pahachaanuun kii
Whose powers of discrimination are like no other’s,
Use hai pyaar kii kahaanii mansuub
Are destined for a story of love
Aatii jaatii saanson kii ravaanii mansuub
Destined to breathe of love.
Baadalon se uunchii uRaanuum kii
(those eyes) whose flight soars above the clouds
Sabse alag pahachaanuum kii
Whose powers of discrimination are like no other’s,
Use hai pyaar kii kahaani mansuub
Are destined for a story of love,
Aatii jaatii saanson kii ravaanii mansuub
Destined to breathe of love.
Arabic:
Tamali ma’ak, we law hata b’eed anni
I’m always with you, even when you’re far from me
Fi alibi hawak
In my heart is your love
Tamali ma’ak
I’m always with you
Tamali fi bali we fi albi wala bansak
You’re in my mind and in my heart; I can’t forget you.
Tamali waheshni, low hata bakoon waiak
I always miss you, even when I’m with you…
