SAAYA BAN JAAOON
I WILL BECOME YOUR SHADOW

Jo andhera ho toe tere kadmo ke nichei rahun,

Ujale mei saaya ban tere saath hi chalun

 If there is darkness, I will stay under your steps,

As light arrives, I will become your shadow;

Saagar ban jaaye tu toe teri goad mei beh jaun

Hawa ban jaaye toe tere saath mei uud jaun

 If you become the sea, I will flow away with you,

If you become air, I will fly away with you;

Jo palke uthakar dekhe toe najar mein aaun

Jo palke jukaye toe aansoo ban kar beh jaun

 If you open your eyes, I will be in front of you,

If you close them, I will flow off like a drop of tear;

Chaman mein jaaye joe tu toe phool ban jaun

Jo aashman ko dekhe toe aashman mei samaa jaun

 If you are in a garden, I will become a flower,

If you look towards the sky, I will appear there;

Koi kya jaane kis kadar mei unhe chahun

Mauka milei toe unke dil mein dhadkan ban reh jaun

 How can someone know, how much I love you?

If I get a chance, I will become your heartbeat;

Titli ko tu dekhe toe rang kar khud ko pankh lagalun

Raah pei najar jaaye toe kaante chun kar phool bichadu

 If you see a butterfly, I will color myself and add wings,

Whatever way you look, I will scatter flowers for you;

Bandgi ki baat aaye toe khuda tujhe banalun

Sambhal ja ‘ritu’ mahobbat mei khud ko paagal na banalu

If the chance of worship comes, I will make you my God,

OH! Beware ‘Ritu’ in love may be I will become mad..!
