Standard Hindi, or more precisely Modern Hindi, also known as Manak Hindi (Devanagari: मानक हिन्दी; meaning "Standard Hindi"), High Hindi, Nagari Hindi, and Literary Hindi, is a standardised and sanskritised register of the Hindi-Urdu language based on the Khariboli dialect of Delhi and Western Uttar Pradesh. It is one of the official languages of the Republic of India.
Colloquial Standard Hindi is mutually intelligible with another register of Hindustani language called Urdu. Mutual intelligibility decreases in literary and specialized contexts which rely on educated vocabulary. Due to religious nationalism and communal tensions, speakers of both Hindi and Urdu frequently assert that they are distinct languages, despite the fact that native speakers generally cannot tell the colloquial languages apart. The combined population of Hindi-Urdu speakers is the fourth largest in the world. However, the number of native speakers of Standard Hindi is unclear. According to the 2001 Indian census, 258 million people in India reported their native language to be "Hindi". However, this includes large numbers of speakers of Hindi dialects besides Standard Hindi; as of 2009, the best figure Ethnologue could find for Khariboli dialect was a 1991 citation of 180 million.

I can't stop the rain from falling
Or hold the sunshine in my hand
Just as I can't stop this beating of my heart
And I could not resist you from the start..
When I saw you for the first time
Felt like the earth began to move
The only man I saw in the massive crowd
I'm Lost here in the shadow of a doubt
Chorus:
I am weak
I am weak, 'cause the feeling gets too strong
I am flying so high, still I could be wrong
I am weak
Chances are, in the morning there'll be lies
But right now, baby, I get weak
As I look into your eyes
I can't stop the wind from blowing
Or take the moon out of the sky
Just as I can't stop the way you make me feel
Is this an illusion, or is it real
Chorus (2x)
