Sanware Sunao Bansuri

As requested by Z, the last one from Baseraa.

Film: Baseraa
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Rahul Dev Burman

Sanware, Sunao Bansuri
love, play for me your flute
Sanware, Sunao...
Brinda Bani, Radha Banu
I became Brinda, I will become Radha
Duniya Kahe Bawri
the world calls me crazy (in love)
Sanware, Sunao Bansuri
O Brinda Bani, Radha Banu
Duniya Kahe Bawri
Sanware, Sunao Bansuri


Apne Aangan Bheej Le,
plant me in your courtyard
Apne Ang Mein, Apne Rang Mein Jo Seench Le
if you drench me with your body and your colors
Aaise Bhalun Tere Gali
I would grow thus in your street
Duniya Kahe Sanwari
the world would call me pure love
Sanware, Sunao Bansuri
O Brinda Bani, Radha Banu
Duniya Kahe Bawri
Sanware, Sunao Bansuri


Tere Mandir, Deep Main
your Mandir, I am the lamp
Tu Jo Bhar De Apni Jyoti Eis Seep Mein
if you fill this oyster with your light
Tere Mandir Deep Main
Tu Jo Bhar De Apni Jyoti Eis Seep Mein
Tere Charan Aise Padun, Jaise Pade Sankali
I would fall at your feet as if chained
Sanware, Sunao Bansuri
O Brinda Bani, Radha Banu
Duniya Kahe Bawri
Sanware, Sunao Bansuri

Jane Kaise Beetegi Ye Barsaaten

As requested by Z.

Film: Baseraa
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Rahul Dev Burman


Jaane Kaise Beetegi Yeh Barsaatein
Jaane Kaise Beetegi Yeh Barsaatein
I don't know how I'll survive this rainy season
Maange Huye Din Hai, Maangi Huyi Raatein
on borrowed days and borrowed nights
Maange Huye Din Hai, Maangi Huyi Raatein
Jaane Kaise Beetegi Yeh Barsaatein
Maange Huye Din Hai, Maangi Huyi Raatein
Jaane Kaise Beetegi...


Dhuan Dhuan Sa Rehta Hai
Bujhi Bujhi Si Aankhon Mein
a fog remains in my dimming eyes
Aahhh
Dhuan Dhuan Sa Rehta Hai
Bujhi Bujhi Si Aankhon Mein
Sulag Rahe Hai Geele Aansoo
wet tears are igniting
Aag Lagati Hai Barsaatein
the rainy season burns me
Maange Huye Din Hai, Maangi Huyi Raatein


Bhara Hua Tha Dil Shayad
perhaps my heart was full (overflowing)
Chalak Gaya Hai Seene Mein
and has spilled over into my chest
Bhara Hua Tha Dil Shayad
Chalak Gaya Hai Seene Mein
Behne Lage Hai Saare Shikwe
all my complaints are flowing away
Bade Ghamgeen Hai Dil Ki Baatein
the heart's words are full of sadness
Maange Huye Din Hai, Maangi Huyi Raatein
Jaane Kaise Beetegi Yeh Barsaatein
Maange Huye Din Hai, Maangi Huyi Raatein
Jaise Kaise Beetegi

Jahanpe Sawera Ho Basera Wahin

As requested by Z. Been busy, but am still working on your requests. Sometimes the title of the post (title of the song) will differ from the way I type the lyrics out because in the title, I try to maintain the spelling on the original soundtracks (OSTs) for easy reference.

Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Rahul Dev Burman

Kabhi Paas Baitho, Kissi Phool Ke Paas
sometime sit close to some flower
Suno, Jab Mehakta Hai, Bahut Kuch Yeh Kehta Hai
listen, when it becomes aromatic (gives off fragrance; blooms), it says a whole lot
Kabhi Gun-Guna Ke, Kabhi Muskura Ke,
somtimes humming, sometimes smiling
Kabhi Gun-Guna Ke, Kabhi Muskura Ke
Kabhi Chupke Chupke, Kabhi Khil-Khila Ke
sometimes quietly, sometimes laughingly
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai
where the morning rises, that is where one's home is
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai

Kabhi Chhote Chhote Shabnam Ke Katre
Kabhi Chhote Chhote Shabnam Ke Katre
Dekhein Tau Honge Subh-o-Saveray
you have probably seen early in the morning, sometimes, small drops of dew
Yeh Nanhi Si Aankhein Jaagi Hai Shabh Bhar
these small eyes stay awake all night
Bahut Kuch Hai Dil Pe, Bas Itna Hai Labh Par
there is a whole lot on my heart, but just this on my lips:
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai
where the morning rises, that is where one's home is
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai

Na Mitti, Na Gaarah, Na Sona Sajaana
do not adorn it with dirt, nor mud, nor gold
Na Mitti, Na Gaarah, Na Sona Sajaana
Jahan Pyar Dekho, Wahin Ghar Banana
wherever you see love, make your house there
Yeh Dil Ki Imarat Banti Hai Dil Se
the heart's home is made by the heart
Dillasaun Ko Chhu Ke, Umeedon Se Mil Ke
touching consolation, meeting hopes
Jahan Pe Savera Ho...
(singer makes a sound like oh no as she reverses the line)
Jahan Pe Basera Ho, Savera Wahin Hai
where your house is , that is where your morning will rise
Jahan Pe Basera Ho, Savera Wahin Hai

Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai

As requested by Z. The intro of this song reminds me of another piece.... can't remember what. Oh yeah and congratulations to Gulzar for his Oscar win as lyricist for Slumdog Millionaire's Jai Ho.

Film: Satya
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Hariharan
Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Vishal Bhardwaj

Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
you are near me
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai
you are also with me
Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai
Phir Bhi Tera Intezaar Hai
but still I wait for you

Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai
Phir Bhi Tera Intezaar Hai

Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai

Aa Tere Liye Suraj Ugaya Hai
come, for you I've raised (grown) the Sun
Aa Tere Liye Rasta Bichaya Hai
come, for you I have lain down the path
Aa Tere Liye Suraj Ugaya Hai
Aa Tere Liye Mausam Mangaya Hai
come, for you I have sent out for the weather
Yeh Jahan Ek Paar Hai
this world is on one side (of the riverbank)
Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai

Hey Majhi Re... Hey Majhi Re..
o boatman....

Ae Chalo Chale
come, let us go
Chalte Hi Chalte Hi Chalte Rahe
let us keep going and going and going
Ae Chalo Chale
Chalte Hi Chalte Hi Chalte Rahe
Khoob Hassay
let us laugh to our fill (laugh a lot)
Haste Hi Haste Hi Haste Rahe
let us keep laughing and laughing and laughing
Dil Pe Kahan Ikhtiar Hai
since when does one have control of their heart
Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Paas Bhi Hai
Tu Mere Saath Bhi Hai
Phir Bhi Tera Intezaar Hai

Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na

As requested by Z

Film: Ghar
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Rahul Dev Burman


Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
I can not live without you
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Bin Tere, Tere Bin, Saajana, Saans Mein Saans Aaye Na
without you my love I can not breathe
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Bin Tere, Tere Bin, Saajana, Saans Mein Saans Aaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na

Jab Bhi Khayalon Mein Tu Aaye
whenever you enter my thoughts
Mere Badan Se Khushboo Aaye
my body gives off fragrance
Jab Bhi Khayalon Mein Tu Aaye
Mere Badan Se Khushboo Aaye
Mehake Badan Mein Raha Na Jaaye
I can't stay within the bounds of my fragrant body
Raha Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Bin Tere, Tere Bin, Saajana, Saans Mein Saans Aaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na

Reshmi Raatein Roz Na Hongi
silky (beautiful) nights will not always be around
Yeh Saughadhein Roz Na Hongi
these gifts will not always be around
Reshmi Raatein Roz Na Hongi
Yeh Saughatein Roz Na Hongi
Zindagi Tujh Bin Raas Na Aaye
life without you is not to my liking
Raas Aaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na
Bin Tere, Tere Bin, Saajana, Saans Mein Saans Aaye Na
Tere Bina Jiya Jaaye Na

Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte

As requested by Z, an entirely dreamy love song

Film: Ghar
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Rahul Dev Burman


Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere
these days my feet do not touch the ground
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere
Bolo Dekha Hai Kabhi Tum Ne Mujhe Ud-thay Huye?
tell me, have you ever seen me flying?
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere


Jab Bhi Thaama Hai Tera Haath, Tau Dekha Hai
whenever I've held your hand, I've seen it...
Jab Bhi Thaama Hai Tera Haath Tau Dekha Hai
Log Kehte Hai Ke Bas Haath Ki Rekha Hai
people say that it's just a line on a hand
Hum Ne Dekha Hai Do Taqdeeron Ko Judh-thay Huye
I've seen two fates joining
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere
Bolo Dekha Hai Kabhi Tum Ne Mujhe Ud-thay Huye?
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere


Neend Si Rehti Hai, Halka Sa Nasha Rehta Hai
Raat Din Aankhon Mein Ek Chehra Basa Rehta Hai
a bit of sleepiness resides, a light intoxication/buzz resides, night and day a face resides in my eyes
Parr Lagi Aankhon Ko Dekha Hai Kabhi Ud-thay Huye? Bolo.
have you ever seen 'eyes with wings attached' (winged eyes) ever flying, tell me?
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere
Bolo Dekha Hai Kahbi Tum Ne Mujhe Ud-thay Huye?
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere


Jaane Kya Hota Hai, Har Baat Pe Kuch Hota Hai
I don't know what happens, something happens in every instance
Din Mein Kuch Hota Hai, Aur Raat Mein Kuch Hota Hai
in the daytime something happens and in the nighttime something happens
Thaam Le Na Jo Kabhi Dekho Humein Ud-thay Huye
hold me (down) if you ever see my flying away
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte Mere
Bolo Dekha Hai Kahbi Tum Ne Mujhe Ud-thay Huye?
Aaj Kal Paon Zameen Par Nahin Padhte...

Mere Pee Ko

As requested by Z. All 3 parts of the song. In this song, I will treat Pawan or Pavan which means wind as a female since the rest of the sentence indicates it is to be treated as female.

Film: Ghulami
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Laxmikant - Pyarelaal

Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Wind, on what path are you taking my beloved?
Koi Roko, Meri Zindagi Le Chali
Someone stop her, she's taking away my life.
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Koi Roko, Meri Zindagi Le Chali
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Mere Pee Ko...

Waqt Bheeja Tha, Bhoya Tha Uske Liye
I had planted time, plowed it for him.
Waqt Bheeja Tha, Bhoya Tha Uske Liye
Maine Pal Pal Piroya Tha Uske Liye
I had threaded every moment for him.
Maine Pal Pal Piroya Tha Uske Liye
Mere Din Raat Ki Roshni Le Chali
She's taking away the light of my days and nights.
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Koi Roko, Meri Zindagi Le Chali
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Mere Pee Ko...



Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Koi Roko, Meri Zindagi Le Chali
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Mere Pee Ko...

Zehar Hai Raat, Har Raat, Par Jeena Hai
The night is poison, every night (is poison), but I must live.
Zehar Hai Raat, Har Raat, Par Jeena Hai
Ek Vaade Ki Khairat Par Jeena Hai
I must live for the well-being of a promise.
Ek Vaade Ki Khairat Par Jeena Hai
Mere Hothon Pe Thi Jo Hassi Le Chali
She's taking away the laughter that used to be on my lips.
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Koi Roko, Meri Zindagi Le Chali
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Mere Pee Ko...



Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Koi Roko, Meri Zindagi Le Chali
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Mere Pee Ko...

Mujh Se Roothi Kehin, Aur Yeh Judh Gayee
In some places, she quarrels with (thus separates from) me, and in some places, she joins me.
Mujh Se Roothi Kehin, Aur Yeh Judh Gayee
Zindagi Ajnabi Raasta Mour Gayee
Life has taken a turn down an unknown path.
Zindagi Ajnabi Raasta Mour Gayee
Ek Umeed Thi Aakhri Le Chali
She takes away my last hope.
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Koi Roko, Meri Zindagi Le Chali
Mere Pee Ko, Pawan, Kis Gali Le Chali?
Mere Pee Ko...
Mere Pee Ko...
Mere Pee Ko...
