Song: Mere Haath Mein
Movie: Fanaa

The song is in Hindi. For the international readers, I would suggest just enjoying the beats. However, if you wish to follow along, here are the lyrics and the english translation so that you may truly enjoy the very well sung and written song.

MERE HAATH MEIN

mere haath mein tera haath ho	When my hand is in yours,
saarii jannatein mere saath ho	all of paradise is mine.
mere haath mein tera haath ho	When my hand is in yours,
saarii jannatein mere saath ho	all of paradise is mine.
tuu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan	When you're with me, what use have I for the world?
tere pyaar mein ho jaa'uun fanaa	May your love annihilate me.
mere haath mein tera haath ho	When my hand is in yours,
saarii jannatein mere saath ho	all of paradise is mine.
mere haath mein tera haath ho	When my hand is in yours,
saarii jannatein mere saath ho	all of paradise is mine.
tuu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan	When you're with me, what use have I for the world?
tere pyaar mein ho jaa'uun fanaa	May your love annihilate me!
mere haath mein tera haath ho	When my hand is in yours,
saarii jannatein mere saath ho	all of paradise is mine.
tere dil mein merii saanson ko panaah mil jaa'e	May my sighs find a shelter in your heart;
tere ishq mein merii jaan fanaa ho jaa'e	may your love annihilate my life.
jitne paas hai khushbuu saans ke	As close as fragrance is to breath,
jitne paas honthon ke sargam	as close as melody is to lips,
jaise saath hai karwat yaad ke	as close as the twists and turns of thought,
jaise saath baahon ke sangam	as close as arms entwined,
jitne paas paas khwaabon ke nazar	as close to me as my dreams,
utne paas tuu rahana hamsafar	stay that close to me, my life's companion.
tuu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan	When you're with me, what use have I for the world?
tere pyaar mein ho jaa'uun fanaa	May your love annihilate me.
mere haath mein tera haath ho	When my hand is in yours,
saarii jannatein mere saath ho	all of paradise is mine.
rone de aaj hamko tuu aankhen sujaane de	Let me cry today; let my eyes swell.
baahon mein le le aur khud ko bheeg jaane de	Take me in your arms and let me drench you with my tears.
hai jo siine mein qaid dariya voh chooth jaa'ega	The river imprisoned in my breast will break free,
hai itna dard ke tera daaman bheeg jaa'ega	and the pain is so great, it will wash down to your feet.
jitne paas paas dharkan ke hai raaz	As close as my secrets are to my heart,
jitne paas buundon ke baadal	as close as raindrops are to the clouds,
jaise saath saath chanda ke hai raat	as close as the moon is to the night,
jitne paas nazaron ke kaajal	as close as kohl is to the eyes,
jitne paas paas saagar ke lahar	as close as the waves are to the sea,
utne paas tuu rahana hamsafar	stay that close to me, my life's companion.
tuu jo paas ho phir kya yeh jahaan	When you're with me, what use have I for the world?
tere pyaar mein ho jaa'uun fanaa	May your love annihilate me.
mere haath mein tera haath ho	When my hand is in yours,
saarii jannatein mere saath ho	all of paradise is mine.
adhuurii saans thii	My breath was incomplete;
dharkan adhuurii thii	my heartbeat was incomplete;
adhuure ham	I was incomplete.
magar ab chaand puura hai falak pe	But now the moon is full in the sky,
aur ab puure hain ham	and we are made whole.
