[arr] Re: Behne De - English translations

[pravindersheoran]

Hi Rawat,
You've done really wonderfull job in translating the song.
Thanks for the hard work there.
The only 2 minor corrections I can suggest are as follows:

shart lagi hai mar jaane ki
(a wager has been put to die)
jeena hai to pyaar me
(I shall only live in love)

beh gaya beh gaya
(has flown, has flown)
jo rah gaya rah gaya
([I didn't care] what's left is left)
