Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan

Sometimes you experience a perfect day... Is there anything more perfect then spending the entire day listening to music? A beautiful Sunday afternoon in the city of San Francisco, the venue: Stern Grove where the acoustics are amazing as evidenced by bootleg youtube videos. Check them out to experience some amazing live performances that include Teri Deewani (with a lyrical twist), Chak De Phattey and a cover of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's Sanu Ik Pal Chain Na Aave Sajana Tere Bina, to name just a few. The band: Kailash Kher's Kailasa preceded by the perfect opening act, delhi 2 dublin for an amazing 5 hours of bliss. After seeing some artists live in concert, you appreciate them even more than you had before and in the case of Kailash Kher the recordings are truly just echoes... On tour in North America to promote his new album Yatra (Nomadic Souls) which releases on his new international label Cumbancha, don't miss him if he comes to your neighborhood. You can stream Yatra in it's entirety (and download one of the songs for free) here.



I recommend pretty much any song by Kailash Kher, but tonight this one hit me.

Albums: Chaandan Mein or Yatra (Nomadic Souls)

Singer: Kailash Kher
Lyrics: Kailash Kher
MD: Kailasa (Kailash, Naresh, Paresh)

Yun Tau Teri Yaad Mein Bhi Swaad Hai Tera,
Par Aankhon Ko Manau Kis Tarah?
Honthon Ki Majaal Kya Jo Karre Yeh Sawaal,
Par Dil Ko Main Samjhaun Kis Tarah?
Satt Ya Asatt Hai, Main Kya Jaanu...
Satt Ya Asatt Hai, Yeh Main Kya Jaanu,
Jaise Saansein Tere Bina Huyi Ghum...


Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega...
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega,
Amber Ko Dharti Se Milaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan


Bhoola Bhoola, Khoya Khoya, Bhataka Phirun Main Teri Chaha Mein
Takh Takh Akh Murrjai, Pathrai Teri Raaha Mein
Bhoola Bhoola, Khoya Khoya, Bhataka Phirun Main Teri Chaha Mein
Takh Takh Akh Murrjai, Pathrai Teri Aaha Mein
Aankhon Mein Meri Jo Samayega...
Aankhon Mein Meri Jo Sameyega, Pankh Bina Hi Ud Jaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan


Kabhi Kabhi Dhoop, Kabhi Chhaon Tu Hi Hai, Pehachan Loon
Ya Tau Mujhe Hansa Bana De, Tau Main Tujhe Jaan Loon
Kabhi Kabhi Dhoop, Kabhi Chhaon Tu Hi Hai, Pehachan Loon
O Ya Taun Mujhe Hansa Bana De, Tau Main Tujhe Jaan Loon
Khushboo Se Jo Tu Bahar Aayega...
Khushboo Se Jo Tu Bahar Aayega, Suraj Ko Goud Mein Khilaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega...
Pardah Yeh Jab Hat Jaayega, Amber Ko Dharti Se Milaunga Main
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan
Kar Kar Main Haara Har Jatan, Teri Tadap, Teri Hi Lagan....

I recommend these albums: Kailasa, Jhoomo Re, Chaandan Mein, Yatra (Nomadic Souls), and these songs in particular:
Tu Meri Jaan Hai - debuted on Jassi Jaissi Koi Nahin (Hindi TV Series OST), later on Jhoomo Re.
Allah Ke Bande (live) from Kailasa, there's also a version on Waisa Bhi Hota Hai part II (Hindi OST)
Teri Deewani - Kailasa and a new unplugged version on Yatra (Nomadic Souls)
Ni Main Jaana Jogi De Naal - Kailasa
Kaise Main Kahun Ke Mujhe Ishq Ho Gaya - Kailasa
Dilruba (Main Tau Tere Pyar Mein Deewana Ho Gaya) - Kailasa
Albela Sajan Mera (Main Uski Huyi Deewani)
Daulat Shohrat (Kya Karni, Tere Pyar Ka Sahara Khafi Hai) - Jhoomo Re
Bhangra Pauna (Aaj Bhangra Paun Nu Jee Karda) - 1971 (Hindi OST)
Meri Bukkal De Vich Chor - a duet with Sardool Sikanda - Main Tu Assi Tussi (Punjabi OST)
Dhol Wajda - Let's Enjoy (Hindi OST)
Tauba Tauba Tauba Uff (remix) - Kailasa
Guru Ghantal (Oye Guru, Ho Ja Shuru) - Yatra (Nomadic Souls)
Kalma Kalma - Jaana - Let's Fall In Love (Hindi OST)

Gulaabi Aankhein

A classic Rafi tune: short, sweet, leaving you wanting more. The rhythm: reminiscent of a moving train - an inspiration RD Burman used in many of his compositions. *Imagines a young Shammi Kapoor on an actual train, leaning far out of a compartment, crooning this number after spotting a beauty out the window... sigh (if you are like me, the actual video that's floating around on youtube will disappoint, skip that and watch the full version of Main Jatt Yamla from Pratiggya instead for a Rafi fix, lol). If you love this original, and your mind is open to new interpretation, try Sonu Nigam's cover performed with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra on the album Rafi Resurrected. The orchestra has done a phenomenal job on that album. Curiously he changes some of the lyrics: "kya karun main dilruba" and "bura hai jaadu" instead of the original below.

Film: The Train

Singer: Rafi
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
MD: Rahul Dev Burman

Gulaabi Aankhein , Jo Teri Dekhi, Sharaabi Yeh Dil Ho Gaya
Sambhalo Mujhko, Oh Mere Yaaro, Sambhalna Mushkil Ho Gaya

Dil Mein Mere, Khwaab Tere, Tasveerein Jaise Ho Deewaar Pe
Tujh Pe Fidah, Main Kyun Hua? Aata Hai Ghussa Mujhe Pyar Pe
Main Loot Gaya, Maan Ke Dil Ka Kaha, Main Kehin Ka Na Raha
Kya Kahun Main Dilruba?
Bura Yeh Jaadu, Teri Aankhon Ka, Yeh Mera Kaatil Ho Gaya
Gulaabi Aankhein, Jo Teri Dekhi, Sharaabi Yeh Dil Ho Gaya

Maine Sada Chaha Yehi: Damand Bacha Loon Haseeno Se Main
Teri Kasam, Khwaabon Mein Bhi, Bachta Phira Nazneenon Se Main
Tauba, Magar, Mil Gayee Tujh Se Nazar, Mil Gaya Dard-e-Jigar
Sun Zara O Bekhabar
Zara Sa Has Ke Jo Dekha Tu Ne, Main Tera Bismil Ho Gaya
Gulaabi Aankhein , Jo Teri Dekhi, Sharaabi Yeh Dil Ho Gaya
Sambhalo Mujhko, Oh Mere Yaaro, Sambhalna Mushkil Ho Gaya

Dhadak Raha Hai Dil Tau Kya? Dil Ki Dhadakane Na Gin
Dhadak Raha Hai Dil Tau Kya? Dil Ki Dhadakne Na Gin
Phir Kahan Yeh Fursatein, Phir Kahan Yeh Raat Din
Aa Rahi Hai Yeh Sadaa...
Aa Rahi Hai Yeh Sadaa: Mastiyon Mein Doob Ja
Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai, Jo Kisi Ka Ho Gaya,
Pyar Hi Mein Kho Gaya
Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai...


Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai Part 2

Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai, Jo Kisi Ka Ho Gaya,
Pyar Hi Mein Kho Gaya
Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai...

Jo Dil Yahan Na Mil Sake, Milenge Os Jahan Mein
Jo Dil Yahan Na Mil Sake, Milenge Os Jahan Mein
Khilenge Hasraton Ke Phool, Ja Ke Aasmaan Mein
Yeh Zindagi Chali Gayi...
Yeh Zindagi Chali Gayi Jo Pyar Mein Tau Kya Hua?
Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai, Jo Kisi Ka Ho Gaya,
Pyar Hi Mein Kho Gaya
Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai...

Sunayegi Yeh Dastaan, Shama Mere Mazaar Ki
Sunayegi Yeh Dastaan, Shama Mere Mazaar Ki
Khizaan Mein Bhi Khili Rahi, Yeh Kali Anar Ki
Isse Mazaar Mat Kaho...
Isse Mazaar Mat Kaho, Yeh Mahal Hai Pyar Ka
Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai, Jo Kisi Ka Ho Gaya,
Pyar Hi Mein Kho Gaya
Yeh Zindagi Usi Ki Hai...

Hai Zindagi Ki Shaam Aa...
Zindagi Ki Shaam Aa, Tujhe Gale Lagaun Main
Tujhi Mein Doob Jaun Main
Jahan Ko Bhool Jaun Main
Bas Ek Nazar, Mere Sanam...
Alvidah....Alvidah...
Alvidah....Alvidah...
Alvidah....Alvidah...
Alvidah....Alvidah...

Khwaab

I am addicted to this song and one other called Bangles (a version of Ve Sonay Deya Kangana) from Niraj Chag's Along The Dusty Road. All in all it's a very nice album, very relaxing, mellow music.. Track Sajana and Ghar evoke Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. There is also a version of Allah Hoo that meshes with Rabba Mere Haal Da Mehram Tu. Other albums of his to check out are the new Lost Souls and the soundtrack Rafta Rafta which has a live version of Bangles. A translation for this song can be found at Niraj Chag's official site:

If you sign up for emails there you also get to download a club remix of this song for free. The site also hosts the video of this song.

Album: Along the Dusty Road
Singer: Swati Natekar
Lyrics: Niraj Chag & Melissa Baten
Music: Niraj Chag

Woh Jab Meri Raha Ke Kadam Thay Mazboot
Mere Andar Ek Samandar, Mere Dukhon Ka Marham
Barson Guzre Hai, Ab Dil Pe Nahin Aitbaar
Kal Jo Thi Meri Jawani, Aaj Hai Kahani

Kya Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai?
Kitni Lambi Yeh Raat Hai...
Bikhre Sapne, Bichde Apne
Yaad Chupke Se Rulati Hai

Kya Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai?
Kitni Lambi Yeh Raat Hai...
Bikhre Sapne, Bichde Apne
Yaad Chupke Se Rulati Hai

Aaise Bikhar Jaate Hai, Mere Dil Mein Samaate Hai
Sapne Saja Jaate Hai, Aur Jaan Tadapaate Hai
Zindagi Ka Yeh Safar, Koi Samjhega Nahin
Yehi Rasta Hai Mera, Koi Aata Hi Nahin

Kya Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai?
Kitni Lambi Yeh Raat Hai...
Bikhre Sapne, Bichde Apne
Yaad Chupke Se Rulati Hai

Sochon Se Dur, Khwabon Se Alag,
Zindagi Yeh Meri Khamoshi Ka Safar

Kya Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai?
Kitni Lambi Yeh Raat Hai...
Bikhre Sapne, Bichde Apne
Yaad Chupke Se Rulati Hai

Kya Meri Zindagi Ek Khwab Hai?
Kitni Lambi Yeh Raat Hai...
Bikhre Sapne, Bichde Apne
Yaad Chupke Se Rulati Hai

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.

Film: Baseraa
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
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

Chalte Chalte

An eternal classic, whenever I hear this song, much like the woman in the song, time seems to stand still for me, I stop what I'm doing and get lost in it.

Film: Pakeezah

Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Kaifi Azmi
MD: Ghulam Mohammed

Chalte Chalte...
walking along...
Chalte Chalte...
Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
just like that, I met someone
Sar-e-Raah Chalte Chalte
walking along the roadside
Sar-e-Raah Chalte Chalte
Wahin Tham Ke Reh Gayee Hai...
Wahin Tham Ke Reh Gayee Hai
Meri Raat Dhalte Dhalte
that is where my fading night came to a halt
Meri Raat Dhalte Dhalte

Jo Kahi Gayee Na Mujh Se...
Jo Kahi Gayee Na Mujh Se
what I could not bring myself to say
Woh Zamaana Keh Raha Hai
the world is saying
Woh Zamaana Keh Raha Hai
Ke Fasaana...
Ke Fasaana Ban Gayi Hai
Ke Fasaana Ban Gayi Hai
Meri Baat Chalte Chalte
these words about me have traveled and become a story
Meri Baat Chalte Chalte
Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
Sar-e-Raah Chalte Chalte
Sar-e-Raah Chalte Chalte

Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
Sar-e-Raah Chalte Chalte
Chalte Chalte
Sar-e-Raah Chalte Chalte
Chalte Chalte
Chalte Chalte
Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha

Shabh-e-Intezaar Aakhir
Shabh-e-Intezaar Aakhir
Kabhi Hogi Mukhtasar Bhi
my waiting for the dawn must cease someday
Kabhi Hogi Mukhtasar Bhi
Yeh Chiraag...
Yeh Chiraag Bujh Rahe Hai
Yeh Chiraag Bujh Rahe Hai
Mere Saath Jalte Jalte
burning alongside me, these lamps are burning out
Mere Saath Jalte Jalte
Yeh Chiraag Bujh Rahe Hai
Yeh Chiraag Bujh Rahe Hai
Yeh Chiraag Bujh Rahe Hai
Yeh Chiraag Bujh Rahe Hai
Mere Saath Jalte Jalte
Mere Saath Jalte Jalte
Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
Yun Hi Koi Mil Gaya Tha
Sar-e-Raah Chalte Chalte

Chand Apna Safar

As requested by Z ... this 80s song is relatively new to me, appearing on a recent compilation of Lata's called The Premium Collection on the Universal label, I only heard it a few years ago and immediately fell in love with it. It's a beautifully tragic number that plays as a tawaif's lament. I have not seen the movie so I'm going off of the lyrics and the cover of the vinyl alone. The EP's back cover credits two lyricists for this track. This song reminds me of Mohabbat Ke Dushman's Bahut Kat Chuka Hai Safar Haule Haule, Bujhi Ja Rahi Hai Nazar Haule Haule.

Film: Shama
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Asad Bhopali, Zafar Gorakhpuri
MD: Usha Khanna

Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
the moon went on creeping towards journey's end
(the moon kept setting)
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi
the candle went on burning, the night kept falling
Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi
Dil Mein Yaadon Ke Nashtar Se Toota Kiye
a lancet of memories kept lashing at my heart
Ek Tamanna Kaleja Masalti Rahi
a single desire went on crushing my liver
Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi


Bad-naseebi Sharafat Ki Dushman Bani
ill fate became nobility's enemy
Saj Sanwar Ke Bhi Dulhan Na Dulhan Bani
even after being adorned, a bride did not become a bride
Tikka Mathe Pe Ek Daag Banta Gaya
the tikka went on staining the forehead
(a tikka, forehead adornment, is traditionally made of powder - similar to a bindi, here instead of decorating the forehead, it has become a stain..)
Mehndi Haathon Se Sholay Ugalti Rahi
the henna went on radiating sparks from the hands
(what should have been a beautiful body adornment instead torments her and burns her hands)
Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi


Khwab Palkon Se Ghir Kar Fanaa Ho Gaye
dreams fell from my eyelashes and ceased to exist
Do Kadam Chal Ke Tum Bhi Judah Ho Gaye
after walking two steps, you also separated from me
Meri Haari Thaki Ankh Se Raat Din
Ek Nadi Ansooun Ki Ubhalti Rahi
from my defeated and tired eyes, day and night, a river of tears kept on flowing
Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi


Subah Mangi Tau Gham Ka Andhera Mila
when I yearned for the morning, I received the darkness of sorrow
Mujh Ko Rota Sisakta Savera Mila
I received a crying, sobbing morning
Main Ujaalon Ki Na-kaam Hasrat Liye
Umar Bhar Mom Ban Kar Pighalti Rahi
with my useless/fruitless longing for light/illumination, for the rest of my life,
I became candle wax and kept melting away
Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi


Chund Yaadon Ki Parchaiyon Ke Siva
besides a few shadows of memories
Kuch Bhi Paya Na Tanhaiyon Ke Siva
I did not gain anything but loneliness/solitude
Waqt Meri Tabahi Pe Hasta Raha
time went on laughing at my destruction
Rang Taqdeer Kya Kya Badalti Rahi
what colors my fate kept changing
Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi
Dil Mein Yaadon Ke Naschtar Se Toota Kiye
Ek Tamanna Kaleja Masalti Rahi
Chaand Apna Safar Khatam Karta Raha
Shama Jalti Rahi, Raat Dhalti Rahi

Tu Mere Paas 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
