Sha sha sha mi mi mi
Sha sha sha
Sha sha sha mi mi mi mi Ta ta ta bha
what a star
Ja ja ja jahan kahin
Jaan-e-jaana what a star
What a star Shamitabh is.
[sha sha sha mi mi mi etc. is just a way to call the name Shamitabh.]
Wherever you go,
O my love, what a star (you are)..
Bikti nahi adaa kahin
Milti nahi ye zubaan kahin
Chhaa gaya tu on the aasman
the style isn’t sold somewhere
(so you can’t just go and buy it. One has to be stylish like you are.)
and one just can’t find such a voice.
you have covered the entire sky (with your stardom)..
Sha sha sha mi mi mi mi
Ta ta ta bha what a star
Ja ja ja jahan kahin
Jaan-e-jaana what a star
Dekha tujh ko jab se, jab se
Zoomein camerey tab se, tab se
Focus bas hai tujh pe tujh pe
Ho ke fidaa ye jhoome, jhoome
Jimmy jab jhoola jhulaaye
Palkon ke shutter uthaaye
Aaja pyare close up bulaaye
Chhaa gaya tu on the aasman
since they saw you,
cameras zoom on you,
the focus is just on you..
they dance in your love,
when Jimmy pushes the swing,
raise the shutter of the eyelids,
come, the close up calls you.
you’re all over the sky..
Sha. mi. ta. bha.
Sun ke teri baatein, baatein
Boom boom ba ba boom jaagi raatein
Lafzon ki phir tumse, tumse
Saansein apni aayein jaayein
Ka kha ga gha ka hai ye kehna
Cha chha ja jha ka hai ye sapna
Sha sha mi mi ta bha ko apna
Goonjta hai on the aasman
listening to your talks,
surprised, even the nights wake
then, the breaths of words,
go on through you only..
ka kha ga gha have to say,
and cha chha ja jha’s dream,
[ka kha ga gha cha chha ja jha all are Hindi alphabets.]
that Shamitabh be ours [i.e. they wish to be said in Shamitabh’s voice.]
and this echoes on the sky..
Sha sha sha mi mi mi mi
Ta ta ta bha what a star
Ja ja ja jahan kahin
Jaan-e-jaana what a star
Bikti nahi adaa kaheen
Milti nahi ye zubaan kaheen
Chhaa gaya tu on the aasmaan
