Help with translating Langda's catchphrase

Mai jhutta to kute ka janna… aur saccha to teri ma ki khasam

I translate this as:

If I am a liar then I am a dogs ....and if I am telling the truth I am your mothers beloved/lover

I speak conversational hindi but do not know what "janna" means..and I am I translating this wrong?

Thanks!

Janna means offspring in some loose sense.
So in english the dialogue will get translated as "if i am a liar i am a offspring of dog,if i am speaking the truth then i am your mothers beloved"

So you were quite close to the real meaning.. :)
