Hindi term or phrase: Jab ta UJALA hai tab tak
I need to translate it as a catchy phrase like this one. "As long as there is UJALA" doesn't seem to work :)

Thanks!

Explanation:
It appears that you are translating an advertisement for Ujala soap. Here it should not be translated but should be transliterated because here it serves as a brand name. We can't translate it as light here. So long as Ujala is there - This is how it can be translated in my humble opinion.
