Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan (This is Bombay my love) from CID

Aye dil hai mushkil jeena yahan
Oh my heart, life is an uphill struggle

Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Be alert, be street wise, this is Bombay my love

Ha haa, ha ho ho, ho hi haa ha haa
Hm hm hm hm, hm hm hm , hm hm hm hm hm

Aye dil hai
Oh my heart

(Kahin building kahin traame, kahin motor kahin mill
(There are buildings, some trains, also cars, and some mills

Milta hai yahan sab kuchh ik milta nahin dil) x.2
One can find everything over here, except true love) x.2

Insaan ka nahin kahin naam-o-nishaan
There is not a trace of humanity in this bustling city

Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Be alert, be street wise, this is Bombay my love

Aye dil hai
Oh my heart
----------------------

(Kahin satta, kahin patta kahin chori kahin res
(Some gamble, some go to races, others steal

Kahin daaka, kahin phaaka kahin thokar kahin thes) x.2
Some starve, some suffer insults, others grieve) x.2

Bekaaro ke hain kai kaam yahan
Yet the idle manage to make both ends meet

Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Be alert, be street wise, this is Bombay my love

Aye dil hai
Oh my heart
----------------------

(Beghar ko aawara yahan kehte has has
(Here, vagabonds is another name for homeless

Khud kaate gale sabke kahe isko business) x.2
While others cut throats, and they call it a business) x.2

Ik cheez ke hain kai naam yahan
It may be the same game, but it goes by many names

Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Be alert, be street wise, this is Bombay my love

Aye dil hai
Oh my heart
----------------------
(Bura duniya woh hai kehta aisa bhola tu na ban
(You call the world unfair, don’t be so naïve, and beware

Jo hai karta woh hai bharta hai yahan ka yeh chalan) x.2
You will pay for your deeds, that’s the name of the game) x.2

Tadbeer nahin chalne ki yahan
Flexing your muscles wont make old Bombay tame

Yeh hai Bombay, yeh hai Bombay, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
This is Bombay, indeed this is Bombay, yes this is Bombay my love
----------------------

Aye dil hai mushkil jeena yahan
Oh my heart, life is an uphill struggle

Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Be alert, be street wise, this is Bombay my love

Aye dil hai aasaa jeena yahan
Oh my heart, it can be easy to survive here

Suno mister, suno bandhu, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Listen teacher, listen my friend this is Bombay my love

Aye dil hai mushkil jeena yahan
Oh my heart, life is an uphill struggle

Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan
Be alert, be street wise, this is Bombay my love
