Ye raste kahan kahan se guzre, kisi din batayenge tumhe
Kaise bator ke rakhe dil ke tukde, kisi din batayenge tumhe
Kya khoya kya paaya, kya kharcha kya kamaaya
Kaun kaun zindagi mein kis cheez ke liye aaya
Wo taare jinki chahat thi wo mile ke nahi
Wo beej jo boye the wo khile ke nahi
Wo pair jo rakhe the zameen par gadaakar
Tufaan aane par wo pair hile ke nahi
Hua kya aur kya nahi kisi din batayenge tumhe
Hum jeete ya nahi kisi din batayenge tumhe.”**
(These roads have taken me through countless places; someday I will tell you. Someday I will tell you how I gathered and preserved the broken pieces of my heart. What I lost, what I gained, what I spent and what I earned. Who came into my life and for what reason. Whether I found the stars I longed for. Whether the seeds I planted ever bloomed. Whether the feet I firmly planted on the ground remained steady when storms arrived. Someday I will tell you what happened and what did not. Someday I will tell you whether I truly won or not)
Singer Jubin Nautiyal commented, “Handsome boy. Now long hair plz.”
Born as Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, Badshah began his musical journey as part of the popular music group Mafia Mundeer alongside Yo Yo Honey Singh, Raftaar and Ikka.
