Hum kaha karte thay:
jo mere dil main hai yehi hai
jaisay k kehtay hain,
is ko mut cheDo, ye sub sehi hai
jaisay k koi khel-khal na karo is k saath
ye meri jaan ka hissa sehi hai
doosray lafzoN main, haaN, haaN
shroo is main aisa tha, ye sehi hai
jaisay k, jab waqat aaye ga
main aisay hi dil ka hoon ga
jaisay k, agar mushklaataiN aaeN gi
isi k liyay main laDooN ga
jaisay k kuch bhi ho jaaey
main is k liyay marooN ga
jaisay k agar jaan bhi deni paDay
to mohaabt main main de dooN ga

That's My Heart Right There
BY WILLIE PERDOMO
We used to say,
That's my heart right there.
As if to say,
Don't mess with her right there.
As if, don't even play,
That's a part of me right there.
In other words, okay okay,
That's the start of me right there.
As if, come that day,
That's the end of me right there.
As if, push come to shove,
I would fend for her right there.
As if, come what may,
I would lie for her right there.
As if, come love to pay,
I would die for that right there.
