...Kabhi Kabhi Aditi is undoubtedly one of the most popular songs from this soundtrack (although I like Kabhi To Hogi also by Rashid Ali more -- see lyrics and translation in this post). The second trailer of the film featured the song (watch it in this post or download from the official film website at www.jaanetu.com). Watch Aamir Khan hum the tune in this video from the music launch.
Here are the lyrics I transcribed, and alongside it my attempted translation. Here are posts related to the film, including trailers, interviews, and translations of the rest of the songs, etc.

Good! This is an excellent number. Which is your favorite song from JTYJYN?
Thank you Anonymous. Still undecided on my favorite track, there are several good ones! Although I'm leaning toward 'Kahin To Hogi' by Rashid Ali and Vasundhara Das (lyrics and translation here.
Thanks for a) letting me know and b) sharing this. I'll bask in the glory while I can ;) hehe...
Enjoy it Aditi! Too bad most jukeboxes around this part of the world won't have this as an option =)
Awesome work!! Love your translations!!

Hi Bragadeesh: Glad you liked the posts! Thank you very much for your kind words. I see we share a lot of favorite former video game interests!
Hi Avani: Yes, the lyrics are really sweet. It's always good to have friends with whom we share much mutual respect and trust. We probably all have them, but need to look harder to realize who they are.
Thank you both for visiting!
thanks a lottt....
i was searching for it since many days...
again thanx......
You're very welcome Arpit! Hope you enjoy them.
Hey! Your site is such a great discovery. I am learning Hindi at the moment (even though where I live in Britain there is no-one to practise it on!) I love the songs from the films and there are other sites that offer translations - but none that do so FAST like this. I am listening to the music from JTYJN everyday and now I will be able to sing along too, with meaning.
I am an English teacher, and I think your translations are really good, and could stand alone. The footnotes are brilliant too. Thanks again. I shall be back.
Hi Joss: Thank you for visiting, and glad to know you are enjoying the JTYJN soundtrack! It is wonderful that you are learning Hindi, and I salute your efforts! I am most humbled by your kind words, which mean a lot coming from a teacher of the language. Thank you, and good luck!
Adab!
I used your translation in this post:
