Setting the Background for Translating Kal Ho Na Ho

 

Kal Ho Naa Ho, which translates as "Tomorrow May Never Come," is the title track of the blockbuster Bollywood film with the same name. The story revolves around a love triangle set in New York City, featuring Aman (played by Shah Rukh Khan), Rohit (played by Saif Ali Khan), and Naina (played by Preity Zinta). Aman is deeply in love with Naina, but due to a terminal heart condition, he knows he can never be with her. Meanwhile, Rohit has feelings for Naina and turns to Aman for help in winning her heart. In the first verse of the song, Aman encourages Naina to accept Rohit, reminding her that the future is uncertain. In the second verse, Aman struggles with his own feelings, coming to terms with the reality that he may not live long enough to be with Naina and thus should step aside for her happiness.

 

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Kal Ho Na Ho

 

Each second life is ever changing ever new

Now it is shade and then it is sunshine for you

Live each second right till the end

This moment won’t come back again

Each second life is ever changing ever new

Now it is shade and then it is sunshine for you

Live each second right till the end

This moment won’t come back again

 

Who’ll love you with heart and soul

That person should be your goal

Such a love you should pursue

That is the right partner for you

Hold on to that hand my friend

The favour won’t come back again

 

Live each second right till the end

This moment won’t come back again

After coming face to face

Takes you in sheltered embrace

Pulsating heart you try to contend

It yet continues to race

But this you must comprehend

The love story won’t come back again

 

Each second life is ever changing ever new

Now it is shade and then it is sunshine for you

Live each second right till the end

This moment won’t come back again

Live each second right till the end

This moment won’t come back again

 

This moment won’t come back again

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Kal Ho Na Ho

Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi
Chaav hai kabhi kabhi hai dhoop zindagi
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo
Jo hai sama, kal ho naa ho
Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi
Chaav hai kabhi kabhi hai dhoop zindagi
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo
Jo hai sama, kal ho naa ho


Chaahe jo tumhe poore dil se
Milta hai woh mushkil se
Aisa jo koi kahin hai
Bas vahi sabse hasin hai
Us haath ko tum thaam lo
Woh meherbaan kal ho naa ho


Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo
Jo hai sama, kal ho naa ho


Palko ke leke saaye
Paas koi jo aaye
Lakh sambhalo paagal dil ko
Dil dhadke hi jaaye
Par sochlo is pal hai jo
Woh daastan kal ho naa ho

 

Har ghadi badal rahi hai roop zindagi
Chaav hai kabhi kabhi hai dhoop zindagi
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo
Jo hai sama, kal ho naa ho
Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo
Jo hai sama, kal ho naa ho

Jo hai sama, kal ho naa ho
