Nice Job Junaid! Respect to you for giving this a go and sharing! 

Your voice has a nice color to it and lots of potential.

The best thing you could do to help your singing immediately i think would be:

1). Begin counting quarter notes and then subdivide those quarter notes into 8th and work on feeling the syncopated 8th notes in the song. You would benefit from locking into the groove that is in this song better and this is the best way to do that.

2). You really need to work on edging your vowels more. By "edging" I mean amplifying a healthy twangy compression into the forward hard palette behind the upper front teeth and also trying to ping more off the upper molars as well if you can. 

To feel and train Edging... you need to train forward resonant vowels, or "edging vowels"... the following vowels are helpful.

"eh" & ae/"a" (cat) 

Find the groove and amplify brighter harmonics in a more forward, palette resonant position will really do a lot to immediately turn this performance around for the better. 

I hope this is helpful for you.

Thanks a big load, Robert!!!
Yes, I do seem to have tempo problems. I think I start late.

Thank you for your advice!!

I would really like it if you suggest somewhere I can read about the terminology you discussed, because I'm a 19 year old amateur singer who has never had training. 
I also live in a part of the world (Pakistan) where training according to Western Musical Theory is almost impossible. English is my 3rd language, and all the training given here is in the local languages and the style is markedly different. 
I haven't had much time to exercise my vocals either, sadly. 
Part of this can be attributed to the fact that I study at Medical College, and the pressure of that amount of study keeps me closed off from pursuing singing really seriously.

So, if you don't mind, and can spare some time, please give me the link to some article or video I can utilize to grab these concepts. Much thanks for responding!
Also, if you don't mind, I would be grateful if you could check out another post I made regarding a cover song, whenever you are able. Here is the link. :)
