    Citlalli, thanks for the translated page. The words to the song are just plain AMAZING!!! Atif does have a great tone of voice singing this piece.
    Your location description is sweet... Hopefully you can get all of them in one place

    Cheers.

    Mmhhh... well, to be quite honest I'm not very familiar at all with the languages of that part of the world or with Bollywood films, so I reckon you may be right. I read that Atif is from Pakistan and sings in both punjabi and urdu, and found the lyrics of this song in the punjabi section... but who knows, it may really be hindi

    Anyway, whichever language it is, it's a lovely tune with even lovelier lyrics

    Well I understand bollywood films mixed up language XD Not everything but quite a lot^^ Usually the most parts are hindi & I learned devanagari alphabet But I just checked up and realise I'm very unsure to tell if some words are hindi or punjabi actually XD

    To distinguish hindi from urdu it's easy when it's written, they don't use the same alphabet!

    Girls, my roommate is from New Dehli, India and her mom who listened to the song understood it all the way it is Hindi.
