MD:  Rahul Dev Burman

Hello, Darling, Darling 
Kya Baat Hai?
What is wrong?
Tum Ab Tak Nahin Aaye
You have not yet arrived.
Come Soon, Dekho Dekho 
Dekho Kitna Accha Mausam Hai
Look at how lovely the weather is.
Jaldi Aao Na, 
Come soon
Please Shukoo, Shukoo Please, My Love, My Darling, My Pet 
O Shukoo Please Come Soon, Please
Beautiful, O Shukoo Come Soon Shukoo... Lovely



Aaj Ki Raat 
Tonight
Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba Re Baba Re Baba Intezaar
Someone is about to come, wait
Aur Thoda Sa Intezaar
Wait just a little longer
Aaj Ki Raat Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba
Usse Aane Tau De
Let him come.
Ho Dil-e-Beqaraar
O restless heart
Phir Kar Le Na Jee Bhar Ke Pyar
Then you can love him to your heart's content.
Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo
Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo

Aaj Ki Raat 
Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba Re Baba Re Baba Intezaar
Aur Thoda Intezaar
Aaj Ki Raat Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba
Usse Aane Tau De
Ho Dil-e-Beqaraar
Phir Kar Le Na Jee Bhar Ke Pyar
Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo

Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo

Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na na na, Na na na, Na na na

Tu Tau Na Aaya, Aaya Koi Aur Saajan
You have not come, someone else has come, beloved
Mujhe Aa Kar Bacha Le
Come save me
Tu, Tu Hi Tu Bacha Le
You, only you save me.
Loote Hai Mujh Ko Meri Jawaani Ka Dushman
An enemy of my youth robs me
Koi Kab Tak Sambhale
For how long can one resist
Tu Tu Tu Bacha Le
Bacha Le
Aaisa Na Ho Lut Jaaye Re Tera Pyar
Let it not be that you are robbed of your love

Aaj Ki Raat 
Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba Re Baba Re Baba Intezaar
Aur Thoda Intezaar
Aaj Ki Raat Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba
Usse Aane Tau De
Ho Dil-e-Beqaraar
Phir Kar Le Na Jee Bhar Ke Pyar
Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo
Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo
Aaja, Ab Tau Aaja Na, Aaja

Aaj Ki Raat 
Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba Re Baba Re Baba Intezaar
Aur Thoda Intezaar
Aaj Ki Raat Koi Aane Ko Hai Re Baba
Usse Aane Tau De
Ho Dil-e-Beqaraar
Phir Kar Le Na Jee Bhar Ke Pyar
Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo
Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo Shukoo

"Baba" can mean father or grandfather, it's used in this song as "Daddy-O" would be used in a 60's hipster song... "Shukoo", I am guessing is the name of the person she is waiting for.

Ke Chand Sa Koi Chehra

This long lost 'filmi qawwali' made an appearance on the Sholay LP but was omitted from subsequent releases on cassettes and CDs until I believe the 2004 Universal Music India digipack (digipak) release of the Sholay OST and the 2005 "Back to Black" digitally remastered vinyl replica CD. 

According to Anupama Chopra's book "Sholay, The Making of a Classic", this 'filmi qawwali' was done in the Bhopali style of Chaar Bhaand - "a composition sung by four groups, instead of the qawwali's traditional two, with the audience enjoying the exchange sitting in the middle." Truly when you listen to this track, the vocals shift channels and you feel as if you are in the middle of the mehfil and the singers are singing and debating back and forth around you.

I recently watched this classic in superb quality, read more about that here ;)

Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

MD: Rahul Dev Burman

Shuru Hota Hai Phir Baaton Ka Mausam

Shuru Hota Hai Phir Baaton Ka Mausam

once again begins the season of conversation

Suhaani Chandni Raaton Ka Mausam

 the season of beautiful moonlit nights

Bujhaye Kis Tarah Dil Ki Lagi Ko?

 how will I extinguish my heart's addiction?

Lagaye Aag Hum Eis Chandni Ko

 I'll set fire to this moonlight

Ke Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Arz Kiya Hai. Irshaad. Haye.

Ke Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Tau Chandni Ka Maza Nahin Aata

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

without a moon-like face by my side

Tau Chandni Ka Maza Nahin Aata 

 I take no delight in the moonlight

Jaam Pee Kar Sharaabi Na Ghir Jaaye Tau

O Jaam Pee Kar Sharaabi Na Ghir Jaaye Tau

Jaam Pee Kar Sharaabi Na Ghir Jaaye Tau

if after drinking wine, an intoxicated person does not stumble

Tau Maikashi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

he takes no delight in inebriation

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Tau Chandni Ka Maza Nahin Aata

Jaam Pee Kar Sharaabi Na Ghir Jaaye Tau

Tau Maikashi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Zindagi Hai Muqammal, Adhuri Nahin

Zindagi Hai Muqammal, Adhuri Nahin

life is complete, not incomplete

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Zaroori Nahin

a moon like face is not necessary

Husn Saiyad Hai, Ishq Fariyad Hai

beauty is a hunter (birdcatcher),  love is a cry for help

(husn=beauty=female, ishq=love=male)

Yeh Jo Do Naam Hai, Dono Bad-naam Hai

these two names, both are disreputable

Tum Tau Nadaan Ho, Gham Ke Mehmaan Ho

you are naive, a guest of sadness

Dil Zara Thaam Lo, Akal Se Kaam Lo

hold on to your heart, use reason

Agarche Roshni Hoti Hai Sahib Sab Chiraaghon Mein

though there be light in all lamps

Zara Sa Fark Hota Hai, Dilon Mein Aur Dimaaghon Mein

there are differences between hearts and minds

Ae Mere Doston Akal Ko Chhod Do, Baat Dil Ki Karo

my friends, leave reason behind, talk about your heart

Kyun Ke

because

Sher Dil Ko Na Tadapake Rakh De Agar

Sher Dil Ko Na Tadapake Rakh De Agar

if a poem does not make the heart suffer

Tau Shayari Ka Maza Nahin Aata

there is no delight in poetry

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Tau Chandni Ka Maza Nahin Aata 

Jaam Pee Kar Sharaabi Na Ghir Jaaye Tau

Tau Maikashi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Sharbati Aankh Ke Dushmano Se Bacho

Sharbati Aankh Ke Dushmano Se Bacho

save yourself from the sherbet-like eyed enemy

Reshmi Zulf Ki Uljhano Se Bacho

save yourself from the tangles of silky hair

Woh Gali Chhod Do, Yeh Bharam Tod Do

vacate that street, break this illusion

Yun Na Aahein Bharo, In Se Tauba Karo

don't sigh so heavily, renounce them

Yeh Jo Dildaar Hai, Sab Sitamgar Hai

these beloved ones, they are all tyrants

Dil Jo Dete Hai Yeh Tau Jaan Lete Hai Yeh

they take the lives of those who give their hearts to them

Wafa Ke Naam Ko Aashiq Kabhi Rusvah Nahin Karte

lovers never disgrace the name of love

Katta Dete Hai Woh Gardan Magar Shikwa Nahin Karte

they would have their necks cut off but would not complain

Dil Machal Jaane Do, Tir Chal Jaane Do, Dam Nikal Jaane Do

let your heart flip flop, let the arrows fly, let your breath leave

Maut Se Aadmi Ko Agar Darr Lage

Maut Se Aadmi Ko Agar Darr Lage

if a man is afraid of death

Tau Zindagi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

he can take no delight in life

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Tau Chandni Ka Maza Nahin Aata 

Jaam Pee Kar Sharaabi Na Ghir Jaaye Tau

Tau Maikashi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Ishq Mein Yaad Kuch Hor Hota Nahin

one cannot remember anything else in love

Ishq Ke Baad Kuch Hor Hota Nahin

there is nothing else after love

Aashiqui Khoob Ki, Dil Se Mehboob Ki

fell deeply for my beloved

Yaad Jaati Nahin, Neend Aati Nahin

can't forget, no sleep

Dard Khilta Nahin, Chain Milta Nahin

no pain relief, no peace

Ae Khuda Kya Kare, Hum Dawa Kya Kare?

oh God what to do, what medicine to take?

Dawa Dard-e-Jigar Ki Poochte Ho Tum Zamaane Se

you are asking for medicine for your painful liver (heart) from the world

Yeh Dil Ki Aag Bujhti Hai Faqat Aansoo Bahaane Se

the fire of the heart will only be put out by your tears

Yeh Sitam Kis Liye, Gham Ho Kam Kis Liye, Roye Hum Kis Liye

why this tyranny? why should sadness abate? why should I cry?

Aag Par Koi Paani Agar Dal De

Aag Par Koi Paani Agar Dal De

if someone pours water on fire

Tau Dil Lagi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

one cannot take delight in the heart's addiction

Aag Par Koi Paani Agar Dal De

Tau Dil Lagi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Tau Chandni Ka Maza Nahin Aata 

Jaam Pee Kar Sharaabi Na Ghir Jaaye Tau

Tau Maikashi Ka Maza Nahin Aata

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

Tau Chandni Ka Maza Nahin Aata 

Chand Sa Koi Chehra Na Pehlu Mein Ho

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

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

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

Mittua

Also known as Mitwa. As Requested by Z. This song was omitted from the film itself and therefore oft omitted on the combo cassettes and some cd combos, but the CD of Shaan and Khoon Pasina has it. (Tune was later re-used by Burman in 1992's Sarphira in the song Deewane O Deewane Duniya Ko Tu). Also I can't figure out what the sisters are singing in one place, hence the question marks. And now you guys will know how much I suck at voices, lol. So I'd appreciate corrections on either of those, thanks!

Film: Shaan
Singers: Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
MD: Rahul Dev Burman

Mitwa, Tere Liye Jeena, Tere Liye Marna
Darling, I live for you, I die for you.
Tere Liye Jeena, Tere Liya Marna
O Mitwa Ho Ho Ho Ho
Duniya Se Kya Darna, Yeh Jaan Bhi Usse Di?? Yeh Dil Jis Ko Diya
Why do I have to fear the world? I've given this life to the same person I gave my heart to.
Mitwa, Tere Liye Jeena

Tere Liye Jeena, Tere Liye Marna
Tere Liye Jeena, Tere Liye Marna
O Mitwa, Ho Ho Ho Ho
Duniya Se Kya Darna, Yeh Jaan Bhi Usse Di ??? Yeh Dil Jis Ko Diya
Mitwa, Tere Liye Jeena

Hawa Ka Jhonka Hai, Nazar Ka Dhoka Hai
It's the blow of the wind, it's a trick of the eye
Hawa Ka Jhonka Hai, Nazar Ka Dhoka Hai
O Mitwa, Ho Ho Ho Ho
Yeh Duniya, Woh Duniya, Bas Mel Dilon Ka, Khel Dilon Ka Hai
this world, (or) that world, it's only a meeting of hearts, a game of hearts
Mitwa, Tere Liye Jeena

Yehi Mohabbat Hai, Yehi Jawaani Hai
this is love, this is youth
Yehi Mohabbat Hai, Yehi Jawaani Hai
O Mitwa, Ho Ho Ho Ho
Ulfat Jo Karte Hai, Un Logon Ki Bas Yehi Nishaani Hai
those who fall in love, these (love and youth) are what identify them
Mitwa, Tere Liye Jeena

Vaada Nahin Toda
Oh Na Yeh Kasam Todi
I did not break this oath
Oh Vaada Nahin Toda
I did not break this promise
Na Yeh Kasam Todi
O Mitwa, Ho Ho Ho Ho,
Hum Jeete, Yaan Haare Har Haal Mein Apni Shaan Nahin Chodi
if we win or if we lose, in any case, we will not lose our dignity
Mitwa, Tere Liye Jeena
Tere Liye Marna
O Mitwa, Duniya Se Kya Darna, Yeh Jaan Bhi Usse Di??? Yeh Dil Jis Ko Diya
Mitwa

MD: Rahul Dev Burman


Paanch Ke Note Mein Ab Kya Dum Hai?
what power is there now in the fiver (five rupee bill)?
Oh Dus Ka Note Cigarette Ko Bhi Kum Hai
a tenner (10 rupee bill) is not even enough for a cigarette
Oh Ab Harre Note Ka Mol Hai Kya?
what is the green bill worth now?
Socho Kuch Oonchi Baat Zara
think on a higher plane
Ab Baat Karo Tau Lakhon Ki
if we talk now, it should be in lakhs (lakh is 100,000)
Dekhenge Khwab Croron Ke
we'll see dreams of crores (crore is 10,000,000)


Galiyon Galiyon Khak Bahut Din Hum Ne Chaani
we've sifted the dust in the streets for many days now
(khak chanana - to sift through dust - as to dig for treasure or as a poor person would sift the dust for coins)
O Badla Hai Ab Daur, Badal Jayegi Kahani
the times have changed now, and so the story will change too
O Ek Banjaran Banegi Kal Mehalon Ki Rani
(today's) gypsy will become a queen with palaces tomorrow
O Galiyon Galiyon Khak Bahut Din Hum Ne Chaani
Badla Hai Ab Daur, Badal Jayegi Kahani
O Ek Banjaran Banegi Kal Mehalon Ki Rani
O Galiyon Galiyon Khak Bahut Din Hum Ne Chaani

Aaj Sanwar Ke Dekha Jo Darpan
today as I dressed and saw my reflection in the mirror,
Apni Nazar Se Sharma Gayee
I became shy from my own eyes
Kis Ke Hunar Ka Chal Gaya Jaadu
who's skills have created this magic?
Kahan Thi, Kahan Se Kahan Aa Gayee
where was I before, I've come from there to here
O Mera Haar! ...
o my necklace!

Eis Heere Ke Haar Mein Kya Hai, Apna Mol Tau Aakho
what is there in this diamond necklace, tell me what you think it's worth
Tum Kya Ho, Kya Ban Sagte Ho, Apne Dil Mein Jhanko
what are you, what can you become, look into your heart
Jhoothe Naqli Sapne Dekhe
Jhoothe Naqli Sapne Dekhe, Asli Baat Na Jaani Ho
after seeing false and fake dreams, you are not able to see the truth
Galiyon Galiyon Khak Bahut Din Hum Ne Chaani
O Badla Hai Ab Daur, Badal Jayegi Kahani

Mil Ke Mere Saath Chalo Tau, Woh Duniya Dikhlaun
if you come along with me, I would show you such a world..
Jeet-e-jeet Woh Jannat Kaise Milti Hai Batlaun
I would show you how to obtain heaven on earth
(jeet-e-jeet = while living)
Tum Ko Masihan Maan Liya Hai,
I've come to consider you my Messiah (healer)
Ab Jaana Hai Or Kahan
why do I have to go anywhere else
Tum Se Mile Tau Dekhe Ujale,
after meeting you, I saw the light
Warna Dhuan Thay Dono Jahan
otherwise my two worlds were dust
Badle Hum, Aur Yun Badle
Badle Hum, Aur Yun Badle, Ho Duniya Ko Hairaani Ho
we changed, and changed thus that the world is surprised/is in shock
Galiyon Galiyon Khak Bahut Din Hum Ne Chaani
O Badla Hai Ab Daur, Badal Jayegi Kahani
O Ek Banjaran Banegi Kal Mehalon Ki Rani
O Galiyon Galiyon Khak Bahut Din Hum Ne Chaani

MD: Rahul Dev Burman


Na Teri Haan Bani, Haan Meri Jaan Bani
your "no" became a "yes", "yes" became my life
Oh Marr Ke Yahan, Jee Gayee Main, Oh Sajna
after dying here, I lived, O sweetheart
Na Teri Haan Bani, Haan Meri Jaan Bani
Oh Marr Ke Yahan, Jee Gayee Main, Oh Sajna

Jurm Thi. Bhool Thi, Raha Thi Dhool Ki
Saathi Tere Bina Zindagi
life was a sentence, a mistake, a path of dust, partner, without you
Jurm Thi, Bhool Thi, Raha Thi Dhool Ki
Saathi Tere Bina Zindagi
Oh Baagh Jage Jab Pehne Yeh Kangana
my good fortunes awoke when I wore these bangles
(kangana here refers to the bangles often given to a new bride)
Na Teri Haan Bani, Haan Meri Jaan Bani

Phool Hi Phool Hai, Rang Hi Rang Hai
Murr Ke Dekhun Yahan Main Jidhar
wherever I turn around and look here, I see flowers and flowers, colors and colors
Phool Hi Phool Hai, Rang Hi Rang Hai
Murr Ke Dekhun Yahan Main Jidhar
Aaj Lage Saara Jahan Ek Sapna
today the whole world seems to be a dream
Na Teri Haan Bani, Haan Meri Jaan Bani

Baghon Mein Yaar Ki, Chhaon Mein Pyar Ki
Beete Saari Umar Jhoom Ke
may my entire life be spent spinning in my friend's (lover's) garden, in love's shade
Baghon Mein Yaar Ki, Chhaon Mein Pyar Ki
Beete Saari Umar Jhoom Ke
Koi Mera Ho Ke Na Ho, Tu Apna
(doesn't matter if) anyone is mine or not, you are mine
Na Teri Haan Bani, Haan Meri Jaan Bani
Oh Marr Ke Yahan, Jee Gayee Main, Oh Sajna
La La La La La.....

Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte

As requested by Z

Film: Zameen Aasman
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Anjaan
MD: Rahul Dev Burman


Yeh Faasle, Yeh Dooriyan,
this distance, this separation
Kaisi Hai Yeh Majbooriyan?
what is this obligation?
Mil Ke Bhi Kyun, Aakhir Jahan,
even after joining, why in the end
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?
do earth (land) and heaven (the sky) not meet?
Yeh Faasle, Yeh Dooriyan,
Kaisi Hai Yeh Majbooriyan?
Mil Ke Bhi Kyun, Aakhir Jahan,
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?

Jaane Kya Hai Yeh Bebasi
I don't know what kind of helplessness this is
Bas Na Kissi Ka Chale
no one can control it
Sadiyon Se Badle Nahin, Kudrat Ke Fainslain
for eons nature's decrees have not changed
Kyun Hai Judah Dono Jahan?
why are both worlds separate?
Mil Ke Bhi Kyun, Aakhir Jahan,
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?
Yeh Faasle, Yeh Dooriyan,
Kaisi Hai Yeh Majbooriyan?
Mil Ke Bhi Kyun, Aakhir Jahan,
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?

Aanchal Mein Phool Kya Khile
how will a flower bloom in the corner of my scarf
(how will a child be born)
Hothon Ki Hansi Cheen Le
steals the laughter from the lips
Kaise Ho Ke Loh Se Judah, Shama Yeh Jalti Rahe
how will the candle keep burning after being separated from light?
Tanha Rahe Kyun, Yeh Jism Jaan
why should this body and life stay alone?
Mil Ke Bhi Kyun, Aakhir Jahan,
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?
Yeh Faasle, Yeh Dooriyan,
Kaisi Hai Yeh Majbooriyan?
Mil Ke Bhi Kyun, Aakhir Jahan,
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?

Aahon Mein Agar Ho Asar, Mumkin Hai Phir Kya Nahin?
if sighs are effective, what is not possible?
Choome Zameen Ke Kadam, Yeh Aasman Bhi Kehin
heaven (the sky) kisses earth's (land's) feet too in some places
Ek Din Mile, Dono Jahan,
one day these two worlds will meet
Kaise Kahen Koi Yahan
then how will anyone be able to say
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?
do earth (land) and heaven (the sky) not meet?
Yeh Faasle, Yeh Dooriyan,
Kaisi Hai Yeh Majbooriyan?
Mil Ke Bhi Kyun, Aakhir Jahan
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?
Zameen Aasman Nahin Milte?

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...

Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi

Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau...
Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau Ghoonghat Mein Jal Jaoungi
if I don't open my veil, I will burn up in it
Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau Ghoonghat Mein Jal Jaoungi
Aurat Se Aaj Main Tawaif Ban Ke Tujhe Dekhaungi
today I will show you how this woman turns into a courtesan
Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau Ghoonghat Mein Jal Jaoungi

Izzat Jaati Hai Tau Jaaye, Tauhamat Aati Hai Tau Aaye
if respect is to be lost, let it be lost, if a scandal is to come, let it come
Izzat Jaati Hai Tau Jaaye, Tauhamat Aati Hai Tau Aaye
Ja Le Aa Tu Kehin Se Ghunghroo
go, bring some anklet bells from some where
Laaj Ko Chhad Ke, Gaa Ke, Nach Ke Rootha Yaar Manaungi
leaving behind modesty, I will sing and dance to appease my displeased friend
Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau Ghoonghat Mein Jal Jaoungi

Bairan Ke Ghar, Saawan Barse
it rains at the enemy's house
Mujh Birhan Ka Man Kyun Tarse?
why does my (the separated one's) heart suffer?
Bairan Ke Ghar, Saawan Barse
Mujh Birhan Ka Man Kyun Tarse?
Dal Ke Kajra, Baandh Ke Gajra,
wearing kohl, tying a garland
Aaj Se Main Apni Souten Ki Soutaniya Ban Jaoungi
today I will become a rival of my rival
(Souten, hard to translate, it can be taken to mean mistress but it works both ways. Where there are 2 women and 1 man, especially if there is a married couple involved, a souten is the 2nd woman or mistress, but the relationship of the mistress to the wife is also that of a Souten. In this sentence the woman, who is the mistress by virtue of being the courtesan, is basically saying now she will be the main squeeze and the other woman will be the mistress).
Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau Ghoonghat Mein Jal Jaoungi

Main Sheeshe Ki Nazuk Gudiya, Main Jaadu Ki Bandh Si Phuriya
I am a fragile doll made of glass, I am a closed bundle of magic
Main Sheeshe Ki Nazuk Gudiya, Main Jaadu Ki Bandh Si Phuriya
Ghul Jaoungi, Khul Jaoungi
Khul Ke Do Nainon Ke Prem Tarazu Mein Tull Jaoungi
I will open up and be weighed on the scales of love belonging to two eyes
(that was an awkward sentence, lol)
Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau Ghoonghat Mein Jal Jaoungi
Aurat Se Aaj Main Tawaif Ban Ke Tujhe Dekhaungi
Main Ghoonghat Na Kholungi Tau Ghoonghat Mein Jal Jaoungi

Ohhhh, Ohhhhh

Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le Hum Dono Ka Naam
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le Hum Dono Ka Naam
the whole world says our two names together
Ang Laga Ke, Shyam Kar Do Radha Ko Badnaam
by taking her arm, Shyam, make Radha infamous/disreputable
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le Hum Dono Ka Naam
Ang Laga Ke, Shyam Kar Do Radha Ko Badnaam

Araj Kare Charanon Ki Daasi
your foot servant requests:
Tumare Darshan Ki Yeh Pyasi
thirsty for an encounter with you
Ib Mat Kariyo, Der Zara Si
this time, don't be even a little late
Ib Mat Kariyo, Der Zara Si
More Man Mein Aan Baso
come and make your home in my heart
Tum Chhod Ke Gokul Gaon
leaving behind Gokul
(I am not sure if she is singing Gaon here, either way it refers to leaving the village of Gokul, the place where Krishna, aka Shyam was raised as a child)
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le...
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le Hum Dono Ka Naam
Ang Laga Ke, Shyam Kar Do Radha Ko Badnaam

Preet Ko Koi Rog Kahe Sab
everyone calls love an ailment
Ek Jogan Ka Jog Kahe Sab
they say it is a devotee's devotion
Beete Taras Gayee Log Kahe Sab
all the people say that those it has happened to have suffered
Beete Taras Gayee Log Kahe Sab
Main Deewani Na Jaani Kabh Bhor Payee, Kabh Shaam
me, the insane/crazy/mad one does not even know when dawn came and when evening arrived
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le...
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le Hum Dono Ka Naam
Ang Laga Ke, Shyam Kar Do Radha Ko Badnaam

Kabh Jaagi Jaane Kabh Soyi
when did I wake, when did I sleep
Laaj Sharam Na Sudh Budh Koi
I have no modesty, shame, no sense
Tumhare Dhyan Mein Aaisi Khoyi
I am lost in your thoughts thus
Tumhare Dhyan Mein Aaisi Khoyi
Yaad Rahe Tum, Tum Bin Bhoole Bisre Sagre Kaam
I remember you, except for you, I forget every task
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le...
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le Hum Dono Ka Naam
Ang Laga Ke, Shyam Kar Do Radha Ko Badnaam
Sang Sang Yeh Saari Duniya Le Hum Dono Ka Naam
Ang Laga Ke, Shyam Kar Do Radha Ko Badnaam
Ang Laga Ke, Shyam Kar Do Radha Ko Badnaam

Yaadon Ke Chund Phool, Nazar Mein Khile Tau Hai
a few flowers of memory have bloomed in my sight
Pehle Bhi, Hum Se Aap, Kehin Par Mile Tau Hai
you have met me somewhere before
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main
sir, I have forgotten again
Ho, Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main
Yaad Mujhe Kuch Aaya Tha
I had just remembered something
Aap Ko Jaane Maine Apna Kaun Sa Naam Bataya Tha
I don't remember which name I gave you before
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main

Khul Gaya Ghoonghat, Uth Gaya Pardah,
the scarf has opened, the veil has lifted,
Mushkil Ab Deedar Nahin
it is not difficult to steal a glimpse now
Khul Gaya Ghoonghat, Uth Gaya Pardah
Mushkil Ab Deedar Nahin
Ab Dekho, Ab Beech Mein Apne. Koi Bhi Deewar Nahin,
now look, there is no wall in between us now
Mera Asli Roop Yehi Hai...
Ho, Mera Asli Roop Yehi Hai, Woh Tau Mera Saaya Tha
this is my true face, that was just a shadow
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main
Yaad Mujhe Kuch Aaya Tha
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main

Kab Tak Jaane, Saath Hamare, Chhoti Si Yeh Raat Chale
who knows how long this short night will favor us
Kab Tak Jaane, Saath Hamare, Chhoti Si Yeh Raat Chale
Poori Baat Kahe Dil Ki Tau Barson Talak Yeh Baat Chale
if we tell the whole story of our hearts, this conversation will last many years
Ek Nazuk Sa Sheesha Tha Jo...
Haye, Ek Nazuk Sa Sheesha Tha Jo Patthar Se Takraya Tha
it was a delicate mirror that was struck by a stone
(often the heart is compared to a mirror)
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main
Yaad Mujhe Kuch Aaya Tha
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main

Allah Allah, Tauba Tauba, Yeh Jazbaat, Haye Haye
O God, heaven forbid, these feelings, O my
Allah Allah, Tauba Tauba, Yeh Jazbaat, Haye Haye
Maana Apni Mehfil Mein Tum Apni Marzi Se Aaye
I know that you came into my gathering on your own
Aaisa Lagta Hai Jaise Ke...
Haye, Aaisa Lagta Hai Jaise Ke Maine Tumhein Bulaya Tha
(but) it seems as if I had invited you
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main
Yaad Mujhe Kuch Aaya Tha
Aap Ko Jaane Maine Apna Kaun Sa Naam Bataya Tha
Lo Sahib, Phir Bhool Gayee Main
