Mujhe Yaad Hain Woh Baatein Mere Bachpan Ki
I still remember my childhood days
Daddy Kehte Thhe Khota Sikka Chalega Nahin
My father used to say that I was like a fake coin that was worth nothing
Mummy Pyaar Se Khilaati Daal Chaawal Aur Dahi
My mother used to feed me lentils, rice and curd with love
Maa Ke Haathon Ka Woh Jaadu Five Star Mein Nahin
That magic of mother’s hands (food) can’t be found even in a 5-star hotel/restaurant

Kisi Ladki Ko Chhede Koi

(Toh Dishoom literally translates to Then Dishoom. Here ‘Dishoom’ is the sound of punches and kicks
in a fight. So this line means to say that if someone does the above ‘then it’s a fight/war’ and that the protagonist won’t spare anyone or show mercy.)

Mere Aaju Baju Bikini Mein Babes Nachdi

But Life Koi Honey Singh Ka Video Nahi
But life isn’t like a video of Honey Singh
Din Ko Mein Chaahe Jitna Bhi Hero Hota Hoon
Although I may be a fearless hero in daytime
Raat Ko Takiye Ki Jhappi Leke Sota Hoon
I embrace my pillow in the nighttime while sleeping
Kabhi Kabhi Kisi Party Mein Zyada Ho Gayi

Kabhi Na Karu Main Kaam Koi Aisa Ke Jis Se Jhuke Meri Gardan
I never do such a deed that causes my head to bow down in shame

But beware, don’t ever mess with me

It won’t take long for me to punch You
