i just found this site that translated it for me and it says that what you wrote means "Jhase Khl live to die like this you will always learn such Jhivit Jhase Ki" and that what i want actually means this "जीने के रूप में अगर तुम कल मरने के लिए, जैसे कि तुम हमेशा के लिए जीना सीख गए थे" thats not correct huh?

जीने के रूप में अगर तुम कल मरने के लिए, जैसे कि तुम हमेशा के लिए जीना सीख गए थे"
this actually says.
In life's form if you die tomorrow,like u have learnt to live life forever.
Doesn't make any sense to me.I think my earlier translation is correct.
