If a man and a woman do not come together
Heaven and earth will not survive here
If two hearts do not unite
How can there be a flower on earth?
If a man and a woman do not come together
Heaven and earth will not survive here
If two hearts do not unite
How can there be a flower on earth?
Love is a unique political party
Hoist its flag, hoist it
Love is a promise
Fulfill it, fulfill it
Love is a flower garden
Pour water, pour it
Love is an infant in arms
Protect it, watch over it
For genuine...
For genuine, true love
To do good...
He was born to do good
Two hearts, two hearts...
To bind them together
He is one who would give his very life
Having loved and failed...
The lovers who faced defeat
From that grave...
Knock and awaken them
Even if I have to sell the Himalayas
I will unite them
Have courage and send them to me
...
Fall in love
Fall in love, fall in love
The heart goes lub-dub
Love as long as you live
For your love, he is a solid silver bar
To make it flourish
We will even give our lives
Having loved and failed...
The lovers who faced defeat
From that grave...
Knock and awaken them
Even if I have to sell the Himalayas
I will unite them
Have courage and send them to me
Ooh...
Laila and Majnu's love was true, wasn't it?
Why didn't they unite back then?
To unite Laila and Majnu's love
We were not there in those days
Pure love...
Just like uniting true souls
There is no higher service than this
Until the wedding night is over
We will guard them with an army
There will be no trouble, no trouble at all
Castes, religions, and horoscopes
We will transcend them all and nurture love
Just to unite lovers
We would cut and offer our own flesh
For a man and a woman
We will make the love between them thrive
Why, between the sky and this earth
We will exchange flower garlands
...
For genuine...
For genuine, true love
To do good...
He was born to do good
Two hearts, two hearts...
To bind them together
He is one who would give his very life
Having loved and failed...
The lovers who faced defeat
From that grave...
Knock and awaken them
Even if I have to sell the Himalayas
I will unite them
Have courage and send them to me
Love love we want love
Parrot and parrot, tiger and tiger
Have no barriers to love
But when human and human fall in love
Life brings a hundred troubles
When two hearts are breaking
There is no insurance for it
In a town where young lovers part ways
God does not reside
An association for every street
Exists here for every caste
For lovers to emerge victorious
Is there any association?
The one that conquered Kargil
Wasn't it our Indian army?
To make true love triumph
Isn't it our army of protectors?
...
For genuine...
For genuine, true love
To do good...
He was born to do good
Two hearts, two hearts...
To bind them together
He is one who would give his very life
Fall in love
Fall in love, fall in love
The heart goes lub-dub
Love as long as you live
For your love, he is a solid silver bar
To make it flourish
We will even give our lives
Whoa oh oh oh oh

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
This energetic anthem from Shahjahan celebrates love as an essential force of nature and human existence. The protagonist portrays himself as a messiah and guardian for lovers, pledging to overcome societal obstacles such as caste, religion, and horoscopes to unite separated couples, even at great personal sacrifice. The song contrasts the freedom of love in nature with the artificial barriers imposed by human society.
