Kisi Se Kuch Ummeed (Expectations of Anyone)

Kisi Se Kuch Ummeed

Ek taraf  hun kuch bhikari sa
Auron ka diya khaata peeta hun
Kuch maangta nahin zara bhi
Jo mil jaaye usi par jeeta hun

'Zindagi se kuch ummeed nahin rakhna'
Yeh kuch keemath par jaana hai
Mile hue har tukde ko ab
Humne barkat maana hai

Ab har taraf barkat hi barkat
Duaaen meri behisaab hainHume dher mila khazaana ab tak
Zindagi meri laajawaab hai

Tum bhi to meri zindagi ho

Ab tum se kya ummeed ho?

Yehi agar kismat mein meri ho

Kabhi phir tumhari deed ho

Jo bhi aata hai, apne se
Bahut khushi se leta hun
Usse bhi aur khushi se
Auron ko mai deta hun

Ye dhan daulat ki baat nahi
Ye mohabbat ka kissa hai
Ye raat tu mere saat nahi
Phir bhi tu mera hissa hai

 

English Translation:

 
 Expectations of Anyone

On the one hand, I am a bit like a beggar
I eat and drink what others give me
I dont ask for anything, even a little bit
Whatever I get I live off it

"Don't expect anything as a right from life"
I have learned this at some expense
Now every crumb that I get
I treat it as a windfall

Now all around its abundance and plenty
My blessings are countless
I have received heaps of treasure
My life is peerless

You too are my life
Now what can I expect as a right, of you?
Only that if it is in my fate
Sometime, once more let me catch sight of you

Whatever comes to me, on its own accord
I happily accept it
With even greater happiness
I give away to others

This is not money and wealth I am talking about
It is a story of love
You are not with me tonight,
But you still are a part of me
