Hi, this is a dialogue in a Hindi movie. Does it mean, Ishq ki nishaani yeh hai ki agar ek baar jid kar li, to use poori karne ne ke liye miT jaayenge?

I would appreciate a word by word breakup

 

Illuminatus, I'm just hazarding a guess here. It is kind of hard to deduce for several reasons. One, filmi Panjabi is nonstandard and mixed librally with Hindi/Urdu, so that final <kii> in the first sentence could be the past tense of the transitive verb <karnaa>, except for the fact that one never really mixes <pahchanaa> and <karnaa>, correct? The second issue is of course transliteration.

In the first Panjabi sentence, I don't think there is a stated verb. The final <kii> appears to be the interrogative Hindi <kyaa>. So maybe a word for word Hindi translation could be <ishq kii mere dost (ko) kyaa pahchaan (hai)>. I.e., "my friend is incapable of recognizing love."

The second sentence is also perplexing me because of the last two words. I have never heard <aapNaa dii>. We would say <aapNii> (Hindi: <apni>). Or it could be <apaa.n dii>, which we would say as <saaDii> (Hindi: <hamaarii>). I'm leaning towards the second. <miT jaayee jab zid hamaarii>.

Let's wait on Huhmzah.

 

Thanks, gator but I think you went off at a tangent here.
The Internet source I copied it from placed a period, which I think is incorrect.

Let me, er, Hindi-fy it.

Original: Ishq di mere mitra pehchaan ki. Mit jaave jadon jid apnan di
Hindi: Ishq ki, dosto.n, pehchan (hai) ki, mit jaae.in, agar jid apna lee.

<apnan di> means <apna lee>, I think.

I was simultaneously Googling, and I realized we are both on different tracks, none of which is correct. This thread on another site discusses this dialogue. Although those guys haven't reached a consensus, it seems their stuff is consistent enough.

apnaan, I think, should be a masdar (Urdu = apnaana). So apnaan di means in Urdu apnaane kii

Litterally...
The mark of love, Friends, is when the desire (lit. stubbornness) to possess disappears...

 

Illum jadon is jab while je is agar

 

That's it. It was hard for me to recognize without the retroflex N there (<apnaaN/apnauN>).

 

"True love does not mean getting your loved one in your own life but to see your loved one always happy..."

 

"The meaning of true love is not to possess."

 

Cilqi has given succinct and exact translation.

The true essence of being in love is self effacement.
Ishq- Passion in love
di- Of
Mitra- O my friend
Pehchan- What is the sign of?
ki- Here means what
Second line gives the answer to the query in the first line.
Mit Jaye- effaced, wiped out, destroyed.
jadon- when
jid- Zidd, Stubborness, Obstinacy
apanaun, apnan- to own, to possess.
di- of

 

Ishq di mere mitra pehchaan ki. Mit jaave jadon jid apnan di

The real meaning of this is

Ishq di mere mitra o pehchan ki
Ishq ki mere yaar pehchan yehi hai


Mitt jaave jadon jid apnan di
ki jab paane ki jid mit jaye



means "sache pyar ka matlab sirf pana hi nahi hota"

 

3ishq dii mere mitraa pachhaaNR kii
miT jaave jadoN zidd apnaaNR dii

3ishq kii mere mitr pahchaan kyaa?
miT jaave jab zid (hii) apnaane kii!
