   • 2008, “Kabhi Kabhi Aditi”, in Abbas Tyrewala (lyrics), A. R. Rahman (music), Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, performed by Rashid Ali (singer):

     कभी कभी अदिति ज़िंदगी में यों ही कोई अपना लगता है।
     कभी कभी अदिति वो बिछड़ जाए तो एक सपना लगता है।
     हे अदिति, हँस दे, हँस दे, हँस दे, हँस दे, हँस दे, हँस दे, तू ज़रा।
     नहीं तो बस थोड़ा थोड़ा थोड़ा थोड़ा थोड़ा थोड़ा मुस्कुरा।

     kabhī kabhī aditi zindagī mẽ yõ hī koī apnā lagtā hai.
     kabhī kabhī aditi vo bichaṛ jāe to ek sapnā lagtā hai.
     he aditi, hãs de, hãs de, hãs de, hãs de, hãs de, hãs de, tū zarā.
     nahī̃ to bas thoṛā thoṛā thoṛā thoṛā thoṛā thoṛā muskurā.

     Sometimes Aditi, by chance, there is someone special in life.
     Sometimes Aditi, when they go away, it feels like a[n unreal] dream.
     Go on Aditi, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh just a bit.
     If not, then at least smile a little, a little, a little, a little, a little, a little.
