Alisha Chinai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या
शाम है, जाम है, और है नशा
तन भी है मन भी है पिघला हुआ
छाई है रंगीनिआ
फिर भी हैं बेताबियाँ
क्यूँ धड़कता है दिल, क्यूँ यह कहता है दिल
आज की रात, होना है क्या
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या
आज की रात, होना है क्या
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या
दो घड़ी में ही यहाँ जाने क्या होगा
जो हमेशा था मेरा फिर मेरा होगा
कौन किसके दिल में है फ़ैसला होगा
फ़ैसला है यही जीत होगी मेरी
ओह दीवाना को अब तक नहीं है यह पता
आज की रात, होना है क्या
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या
आज की रात, होना है क्या
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या
आज की रात, होना है क्या
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या
आज की रात, होना है क्या
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या

आज की रात, होना है क्या
What is going to happen tonight?
पाना है क्या, खोना है क्या
What do we want to gain or lose?
शाम है, जाम है, और है नशा
It's evening, there's alcohol, and we're intoxicated
तन भी है मन भी है पिघला हुआ
Our bodies and minds are both melting
छाई है रंगीनिआ
Colors are prevalent
फिर भी हैं बेताबियाँ
Yet there is restlessness
क्यूँ धड़कता है दिल, क्यूँ यह कहता है दिल
Why does the heart beat, why does it say?
दीवाना को अब तक नहीं है यह पता
The crazy person still doesn't know the answer
दो घड़ी में ही यहाँ जाने क्या होगा
What will happen here in just a few moments?
जो हमेशा था मेरा फिर मेरा होगा
What was always mine will be mine again
कौन किसके दिल में है फ़ैसला होगा
Who is in whose heart? There will be a decision
फ़ैसला है यही जीत होगी मेरी
The decision is that I will win

4:23 can be termed as best part of the story.
Priyanka expressions says that You don't know Don is dead this my love Vijay.
Isha expression says that whom you are thinking is Vijay is actually my love Don.
And finally SRK smiling like you 2 are just my cards, nothing else.
