| Shakti: जब उसके चहरे पे प्यारी सी मुस्कान खिलती है तो सब भूल जाती हूँ (jab uSke cahre pe pyaarii Sii muSkaaN khilTii hai To Sab bhuul jaaTii huun) |
| John: The word meaning “smile” is… |
| Shakti: muSkaaN |
| John: When talking about a bright or lovely smile, especially in relation to children, you can use it with the word… |
| Shakti: khilNaa |
| John: which means “blooming.” Listen again - "when a lovely smile lights up her face I forget everything" is... |
| Shakti: (SLOW) जब उसके चहरे पे प्यारी सी मुस्कान खिलती है तो सब भूल जाती हूँ (jab uSke cahre pe pyaarii Sii muSkaaN khilTii hai To Sab bhuul jaaTii huun) (REGULAR) जब उसके चहरे पे प्यारी सी मुस्कान खिलती है तो सब भूल जाती हूँ (jab uSke cahre pe pyaarii Sii muSkaaN khilTii hai To Sab bhuul jaaTii huun) |
