Jai Ho Lyrics

Jai ho, Jai ho,
Jai ho, Jai ho,
[Aaja aaja jind shamiyane ke tale, Aaja zari waale nile aasman ke tale,
Jai ho, Jai ho] -2 times
Jai ho.., Jai ho.., Jai ho.., Jai ho.. – 2 times

Ratti ratti sachi maine jaan gavayi hai,
Nach nach koylo pe raat bitayee hai,
Ankhiyon ki neend maine phoonko se udaa di,
Gin gin taare maine ungli jalayi hai,
Aaja aaja jind shamiyane ke tale, Aaja zari waale nile aasman ke tale,
Jai ho, Jai ho… Jai ho.. Jai ho…

Jai ho.. Jai ho.. Jai ho.. Jai ho..
Chakh le, ho chakh ye, ye raat shahad hai chakh le
Rakh le, haan dil hai, dil aakhri had hai rakh le
Kaala kaala kajal tera koi kaala jadoo hai naa? -2 times
Aaja aaja jind shamiyane ke tale, Aaja zari waale nile aasman ke tale,
Jai ho, Jai ho… Jai ho.. Jai ho… Jai ho.. Jai ho…

Kab se haan kab se jo lub pe rukki hai…keh de,
Keh de haan keh de ab aankh jhuki hai..keh de,
Aisi aisi roshan aankhen, roshan dodo diye hain kya?
Aaja aaja jind shamiyane ke tale, Aaja zari waale nile aasman ke tale,
Jai ho, Jai ho… Jai ho.. Jai ho… Jai ho.. Jai ho… Jai ho.. Jai ho..

  • I was wondering if it were possible to get the translation of this in English cause I dont understand lyrics but would like to know what it’s about.

  • English Translation of Jai Ho – just for you mate :)

    Jai Ho means Victory to thee

    Come, come my Life, under the canopy
    Come under the blue brocade sky!
    Iota by iota, I have lost my life, in faith
    I’ve passed this night dancing on coals
    I blew away the sleep that was in my eyes
    I counted the stars till my finger burned
    Come, come my Life, under the canopy
    Come under the blue brocade sky!

    Taste it, taste it, this night is honey
    Taste it, and keep it,
    It’s a heart; the heart is the final limit
    You dark black kohl
    It’s some black magic, isn’t it?
    Come, come my Life, under the canopy
    Come under the blue brocade sky!

    For how long, how very long
    It’s been on your lips
    Say it, now say it
    The eye is downcast
    Such lit up eyes
    Are they two lit-up dimaonds(?) ?
    Come, come my Life, under the canopy
    Come under the blue brocade sky!

    Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

    Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale

    Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
    Spent my nights dancing on coal

    Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
    I blew the sleep in my eyes with air from my mouth

    Neele Tare Se Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
    I burned my finger with blue star

    Come come below the decorated tent of life

    Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale

    Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
    (your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?

    Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
    (your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?

    Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale

    Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
    Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..

    Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Tu Lab Pe Ruki Hai.. Kab De
    Since when, yes since when, you have stopped at my lips.. since when

    Kab De, Ha Kab De Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Kab De
    Since when, yes since when, (your) eyes are closed.. since when

    Aisi Aisi Roshan Aankhe Roshan Dono Bhi Hai Hai Kya
    Like this, Like this, lightening eyes, making both lightened, yes, yes, what?

    Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
    Come come below the decorated tent of life

    Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
