Kabhi Kabhi Aditi

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi
Film: Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Singer: Rashid Ali

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi zindagi me yuhi koi apana lagta hai
Aditi, sometimes in life you feel someone is yours

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi wo bichhad jaye to ek sapana lagta hai
Aditi, you think its a dream if that someone departs

Aise me koi kaise apne asuon ko behene se roke
At such times how can one hold back their tears

Aur kaise koi sochade everythings gonna be okay
And how can one feel that everythings gonna be okay?

Kabhi kabhi to lage zindagi me rahi na kushi aur na maza
Sometimes it feels there is no happiness or fun in life

Kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ek saza
Sometimes it feels everyday is a problem and every moment a punsihment

Aise me koi kaise muskuraye kaise hasde kush hoke
At such times how can one smile and laugh being happy

Aur kaise koi sochde everythings gonna be okay
And how can one feel that everythings gonna be okay

Soch zara jane jana tujhko hum kitna chahthe hai
Think my dear, how much I love you! ( I or We)

Rote hai hum bhi agar tere ankhon me asoon ate hai
I cry too when I see tears in your eyes!

Gana tho ata nahi hai magar phir bhi hum gaate hai
I cannot sing, but still sing for you!

Hey Aditi maan kabhi kabhi sare jahaan me andhera hota hai
Hey Aditi, please accept that there is sometimes darkness in this entire world

Lekin raat ke bada hi to savera hota hai
But its always a day which comes after nightfall

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi zindagi me yuhi koi apana lagta hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi wo bichada jaye tho eka sapana lagta hai

Hey aditi Hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde to zara
Hey Aditi please laugh a little!

Nahi tho bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura
Else smile a little!

Tu khush hai to lage ki jahaan me chayi hai khushi
When you are happy, it seems the world is happy

Sooraj nikale badalo se aur bate zindagi
The sun comes out of the clouds and brightens life

Sunto zara madhosh hawa tujhase kehane lagi
Listen to what the maddening breeze has to say to you!

Ki Aditi woh jo bichadathe hai ek na ek din phir mil jaate hai
It says people who leave you will meet you again!

Aditi Jaane tu ya jaane na phool phir kil jaate hai
Aditi , you know or you dont, flowers blossom again!

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi zindagi me yuhi koi apana lagta hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi wo bichada jaye tho eka sapana lagta hai

Hey aditi Hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde tho zara
Nahi tho bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura (4)

Meri baat bas; Jaane tu jaane tu ya jaane na!
You know or you don't, what I say

Tu soche yeh zindagi hai , yeh na badlegi kabhi
You think the life that we have will never change

Mein sochu sab badaltha hai, tu na badalegi kabhi
I think everything changes but not you

Mein sochu tu hi tu, mera koi aur nahi
I think its you, and I dont have none

Tu soche mein hu tera, bas tera koi aur nahi
You think I am yours and you dont have anyone else

Koi aur ho ya na ho , tu hai mein hu bas
No matter anyone else is there or not, we both are together

Jaane tu jaane tu ya jaane na!
You know or you don't!

Maane tu maane tu ya maane na! (2)

Note:

"Saara sadaqa aap ka" = "All the *charity* is yours" (Literal).. Or"the only meaningful charity is yours" (Interpreted) .. Also, "qalb"means HEART. Also "Sooraj ka uthna hai aap se" obviously shouldn't beread for its literal meaning, but as, loosely, "you are an integral,active part of the Divine plan/destiny"..Needless to say the words are mostly directly Arabic.

Barf se khelte badolon ka
Of those clouds playing with the ice

Shauk hai

Kaash ye zindagi Khel hi khel mein kho gayi hoti
I wish this life were a child's play

Of those lullabies of dreams (I aspire to listen)

M

Born to my aunt,standing like a grown up lady
You are a lotus carrying age
you were catching flies when did u come to wear a gown
You r an eclipse to moon,when did you become a full moon
If you are silent whom shall i ask now

Sparrow which sleeps in a riverside tree,banyan tree
leaf and in a raintree branch
Whos this lady who is bursting and standing amidst the side breeze
The face which jumps and fights
My own relation does not go anywhere and the passing
water is never a salty water.

F

Without bearing my uncle,the pot is not cooking rice
and i have become like a thread.
Even when the door made noise i came running to see you
All alone side by the river bed i shouted your name
All alone near the rail track i shouted your name
After that trian moving forward and after much time i shed tears
You are my pearl(uncle) dont leave me and go and if
this one life goes away,it does not come back.

M

Lady(wearing saree)are you fine...gold are u good
Is the small feet on the rock is fine
Are the flowers(which u touched)fine,are the
flowers(which u did not touch)fine
Are the paired trees in the garden fine
Is Uncle fine...are the fishes in the pond fine
Is the Verandah which grew u and me is fine
You r this uncles girl and i havent seen u for
days(relating that its time for marriage)

Another Translation:

You who was born to my athai* and have blossomed in to woman
* Your father sister is Athai for u and in many traditions athais daughter is the desired match for a guy
You carry the sweetness of your youth in lovely pavadi ( skirt )

When did u grow up to be such beautiful women for I fondly remember you as kid playing to catch grasshoppers?
When did u bloom in to a full moon from the crescent you were?
If silence is your answer for all my queries what else do I do?

(aaththangara) - > The trees by the bank of the river ; the leaves from the "arsamaram" ; the branches from the "ala-maram" ; the pretty parrot that sleeps in that tree , look at her …..

By the bunds in the farming field, there she stands like fully bloomed cotton.
She who picks silly fights with me, is this the same girl who has blessed the thavani ( half saree ) by adorning it.

Our relationship will stand the test of time, like flowing river water which is never salty.
Watch out of the wind instruments / key board interlude at this junction it will remind you of other rahman songs! :)
Mamame (My dearest) I yearned and starved (literally and emotionally) for you and your sight
Even when the situations and omens were against me, I came running to see your lovely face.

I went calling for you by the banks of the river ,
I went calling for you by the Train*** that went past by ,
The river flew, the train went past by, time passed
And my eyes were filled with tears longing for you.
My dearest please don't leave me
For if you do, my life would leave me too.
*** The visual and imaginative comparison of a train leaving a small village is a much exploited theme in tamizh movies to symbolize separation.
(aaththangara)
Hey you with the lovely dress ; are you fine ?
Is your lovely feet fine?
How are things back home?
Are the flowers in your garden fine? (the actual meaning of thottapoo ellaam sogandhaanaa thodaadha poovum sogandhaanaa is very tricky to write * wink * wink)Are the trees in the garden fine ?
Are you parents doing fine ?
Are our childhood memories fine ?It has been so long since I last laid my eyes on you and I am back now and it is time for us to tie the knot in the eternal bond of marriage.

They will tell my heart.

A lady singer should not be silent,

Lock on the music is not done on a female,

If all bees huzzle then garden cant withstand,

And if buds sound then bees cant hear,

After aadi(its a season) the cauvery(river) wont wait,

After aadhi the alipoo(flower) does not close,

wishes vibrating.

Without the permission of 'telling' i came to tell,

there's meaning in 'tell' so i stood without telling,

theres no distance between 'tell' and 'meaning'

No love reaches heaven without telling,

Even if counting ends kisses doesn't,

And if u count,kisses doesn't happen,

If you ever do (promise), then don't break it.

Haath kisika pakadiye na

Don't hold the hand of anyone

Pakadiye to phir chhodiye na

If you ever do (hold hand), then don't leave it

Mainu khich paindiye seene vich paindiye

I can feel an affinity in my heart

O mainu kuchh ho gaya

'something' happened to me

O mainu kuchh ho gaya duniya kehnidye

'something' happened to me, the entire world is saying so

O is kuchh ka naam jawaani hai

This `something' is called youth

Ye umr badi deewani hai

This age is very maddening

Sache sab sapne lagte hain begaane apne lagte hain

All dreams seem to be real, strangers seem to be known

Apno se munh modiye na, sapnon ke peechhe daudiye na

Don't take yourself away from relatives, don't run behind dreams

Aina badla vi nal main jud jaavaan

I want to be with these clouds

Ban java patang main ud jaavaa

Like a kite, I want to fly away

Koi pardesi aavega

Some stranger will come

Teri doli le jaavega

And take you with him (by marrying)

Main saari rasmein todoongi

I will break all rituals

Baabul ka ghar nahin chhodoongi

kaali raat unindara kachchiyan

The night is black and sleepless

supane rang-rangeele nun

(open) to colourful dreams

husn di chaadar ishq di lori

The covering of face, lullaby of love

par chaddara dil ki laihoon

which cover heart to take?

pyaar di chitthi chaadar vich

amidst the white cover of love

dil karada ai chhup jaavan noon

I want to hide

ji karada kade ji nai karada

jeevan noon mar jaavan noon

Sometime I wish to live and sometime even to die

dholana dholana ve dholana ve dholana

ishq na darda te na sangada

Love neither fears nor hesitates

kehain to dil diya galla hoon

Speaks of the matter of heart.

kooni hattha naal gire main

I have fallen in the hands of killer (????)

is noon challaan pakhiya hoon

and I run the hand fan (????!!!!)

[I have no idea what the last two lines are trying to say. I amgetting the literal meaning but completely confused about itsrelation with rest of the song.]

Ni Mein Samajh Gayee

Film:Taal

Singers: Sukhvinder Singh, Richa Sharma

Sajnave sohniyave Ranjhnave

sohniyave mahiyave

Mahiyave sohniyave ranjhnave

All the words Sajna, sohniya, mahiya refers to beloved. `ve' at the end means calling him. Sajnave= o beloved.Ranjhna refers to Ranjha of Heer-Ranjha tale.

Ni main samajh gayi ni main samajh gayi

I have realized (at last)

Is dardi ramajh main samajh gayi

The reason behind this pain

Ni main samajh gayi ni main samajh gayi

Is dardi ramajh main samajh gayi

Na samjhi thi to ulajh gayi

(if) u hadn't understood, you'd have been caught in trouble

Ab uljhan teri sulajh gayi

Now your trouble is solved

Ni tu samajh gayi

You have realized it(at last)

Is galdi ramajh main samajh gaya

The reason behind this matter

Na samajh mujhe batlaye na ye kuchh bhi mujhe samjhaye na

No rationality tell me or lets me understand

Rang itna chada ke tapak gaya honthon se aankh mein teir gaya

The colour (of love) whelmed (me) so much that dripped from (my)lips and swam to the eyes.

Banke phir vo ghanghor ghata zulfon mein vo phir ulajh gaya

Then it turned into heavy cloud and stuck into hair locks

Ainu pyaar da chaska ay saain te ishq hi aidi riyasat hain

Who is tranced in love, oh God, (his/her) beloved is him/her realm

Aite mathve taaj mohabbat akkhaan vich nasha ibaadat ka

The crown of love adorns his head and there sustains an addiction ofprayer (or benediction) in his/her eyes.

Darbar aide vich ki raanjhe te mirese boliya pandein ne

In the court, Ranjha and Mirese sing the ballads of love

Ay husn de charne husn de charne husn de charne pee jaanda

Oye husn de charne pee jaanda

[Couldn't translate this lineNote: pee janda = to drink or to sip, Husn= face, charne= foot]

dil jee jaanda Oye saain aida saain meriyaan oye saaindil jee jaanda aida kee jaanda

O God, the heart lives a life O God, what is lost!

Hathlayayein sharma jaanda te tohrade murjha jaanda

The palms are ashamed (at marriage time) but when is broken, it'swithered

That fragrance of earth, how can you forget that?

Tu chaahe kahin jaaye, tu laut ke aayega
You may go anywhere; you are bound to come back

Vellai Pookal

Film: Kannathil Muthamittal

Singer: A R Rahman

Stanza 1

The white flowers blooming all over the world

The morning dawns for peace

The golden rays of the sun touching the ground

The flowers waking from their sleep

Let the baby open it's eyes in the hands of the mother (i understandwhat 'thaayin kathakathappil' means but i'm not able to place anenglish word for it )

Let the world dawn in the laughter of a child

Stanza 2

The gentle sound of the wind and the songs sung by the rain;

Can they bring the hapiness brought by silence ?

The crores of keerthanas and the words strung together by poets;

Can convey the same meaning as one drop of tear ? (vellai pookal...)

Stanza 3

Where the little child stretches it's hand, there will be eternal hapiness

Where man stops all wars, there the white dove will sing (vellaipookal...)

Blood has stirred to fill new colors

Khuli-si chhoT lekar, baRi-si tich lekar ahista ahista

With an open wound, with a large (complaint?), slowly, slowly

Till now I have been posting those song-translations, which are done and posted to the group by someone. This song is an exception. The link of this blog was posted in the group where the blogger peenned down the entire song with translation 'after some googling' (in his words). I'm including it here because I forgot the meaning of many words of the 'Gurbaani', which I learnt from my Sikh friend Hardeep.

ik-oNkaar sat naam kartaa purakh nirbha-o nirvair akaal moorat ajoonee saibhaN gur parsaad.

One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru's Grace.

A God sent flower
Whats does your eyes search for, my dear

My life begins in you
My life ends in you
You came like a breeze. You stood like my breath
You are a rising life in my heart (???)

You are my own, You are my opponent
You make Love blossom, You are a thorn in a womb
You are a dear rain, You are a small thunder
You are a just born, You are a departing soul
You are an eternal life (???)

A God sent flower
Whats does your eyes search for, my dear

You are my wealth, You are my poverty
You are a missing poem, You are a typo(a mis speltword)
You are a light in the night, You are a lost wing
You are the sorrow that I raised with

As white flowers bloom everywhere in this world,
As a war-torn world quietens for the sake of peace,
As yellow light falls on the sand,
As the flowers wake, stretching their leaves wide,
Let the children wake,In the warmth of the world,
Let the world dawn,
In the laugh of the first new child,
As white flowers bloom everywhere in this world,
As a war-torn world quietens for the sake of peace,
As yellow light falls on the sand,
As the flowers wake, stretching their leaves wide,
Let the children wake,In the warmth of the world,
Let the world dawn,
As white flowers bloom everywhere in this world,
As a war-torn world quietens for the sake of peace,
The words the wind speaks,
The songs the rain sings,
Will a silence or a joy reveal to us?A thousand boons,
The words of the poet,
Will a teardrop or a kiss give to us?
Ah-ha-ha-ha, ah-ha-ha,
As white flowers bloom everywhere in this world,
As a war-torn world quietens for the sake of peace,
As yellow light falls on the sand,
As the flowers wake, stretching their leaves wide,
Where do you travel, child?
Why do you stretch your arms?
Are you reaching for that distant moon?
Where is the human species?
Will it finally tire and rest?
Above them, will not the dove coo?
As white flowers bloom everywhere in this world,
As a war-torn world quietens for the sake of peace,
As yellow light falls on the sand,
As the flowers wake,
stretching their leaves wide,
As white flowers bloom everywhere in this world(bloom),
As a war-torn world quietens for the sake of peace(quietens)...

Us Se Main Ghusa Hoon
Makes me angry

Tauba Tauba Nafs Maghroor Hai
Pardon(my Lord),Pardon (my Lord), the self(inner being- this cant be

Tauba Tauba Kaisa Daur Hai
Pardon(my Lord),Pardon(my Lord)what kind of age(or era)is this

Kab Aaye Ga , Waqat Woh Naya
When will come, the new time

Kab Payaingain
When will we find

Sab Dil Ki Aazadi Ko Kab Aayaygee
To every heart's freedom, when will come

Pyari Pyari Woh Ek Subha
That beautiful morning

Daulat Barti Hai Roz To Ameeron Ki Hi
The wealth of the rich is increasing day by day

Bhook Barti Hai Roz In Ghareebon Ki
But for poor, its their hunger, which increases day by day

Wadon Se Be Zuban,Waqt Milnay Hi Par
Forgetting their promises, they made with their tongues, when the
time arrives

Goongee Ho Jathi Hai, un Rehbaron Ki
That tongue becomes dumb

Chaltay Hain Akar Ke Jo Zameen Pe
Those who walk on earth rediculously(proudly with their chests out)

Bhoolain Ke Jana Hai Ek Din Is Zameen Main
Why do they forget,the one day,they will be resting in the same earth

Dhabba Hain Dhabba,Yeh Jaisay Chaand Pe Dhabba,
They are the stains on earth,like there are stains on moon

Dhoke Ye Dhoka,Daithay Hain Khud Ko Dhoka
They are cheating no one else, but themselves

Socho Sochoa Zara ,Kaafi Hay Ik Shama,
Just think for a while, one candle is enough

Jis Se Jal Jain Gee Yahan Laakhon Shama
to light hundreds of thousands of candles

Sari Dunya Badal Jaya Gee Yaron Per
The whole world will change,but for that

Hay Badalna Zaroori, Bas Aik Ka
One has to change
(this was the first time,the english term ONE for a person was ever
used in URDU/HINDI by using the word AIK in the same sense)

Muskura Ke Dekna Bhi Naiki
Even looking with a smile is a noble deed

Logon Ki Raahon Se Pathar Hatana Naiki
Removing a stone out of people's path is a noble deed

Sajda Tu Sajda, Dunya Ko Na Kar Sajda
Dont you do sajda(bow or touch the ground with forehead,as in
prayers)to the world or material

Sajda Ho Saja,Bus Naami Khuda Ko Sajda
Only do sajda to the name of the Lord(i.e. the Lord)

Those of you, who seek Allah's attention, Come, as you are called byAllah.
There is no better deed than ZIKR, said the Holy Prophet of Allah.And those who do ZIKR of Allah from core of their hearts, becomesuccessful.
And Zikr cuts Nafs (a human being's desire to do whatever he wants,good or bad but used mostly for the desire to do evil things) soZikr is sword of Allah.

zikr aman hai zikr hai fatah zikr shifa hai zikr hai dawa
Allah ho baqimil qule fani aur fana hai sub wo muqab-Allah

Zikr is peace, Zikr is victory, Zikr is remedy, and Zikr is prayer
(I can't give exact meaning of the second line but it meanssomething like this)
Only Allah is eternal and will be there when nothing else will bethere, as everything other than Allah will get destroyed one day.

And leave Light of Muhammad (May peace be upon him)

there is no one worship- worthy other than Allah)

Har gul mein har rooh mein, har shey mein noor-ullah
Har dil mein har pal mein reh zikr-e-illallah

In every flower, in every spirit, there is light of Allah
In every heart, in every moment, there's Zikr of Allah

zikr hai behtar nafrat se zikr hai behtar ghaflat se

Yahan bhi tu, wahan bhi tu,
you are here,and u are there( u are everywhere)

yeh roshni kya roshni
what light could this light be

theray siwa koi hay kay poochoon
is there anyone othere than u whom i could ask

andheron say poocha to chup ho gayay
when i asked darkness,it shut up and kept quiet

ujalon say poocha tho sharma gayay,
when i asked light,it got shy of answering

parindon say poocha,kahan parwaz hay
i asked birds,where is the flight

khamoshi say poocha,kahan awaz hay
i asked quietness,where is the voice

phoolon say patton say,phoolon say pahton say,aaeee ye sada
i asked flowers,i asked leaves,came a voice

charon taraf,charon taraf
in all four directions

Noor Un Ala Noor Un Ala Nooor Un Ala Nooooooor
Light upon Light

dikhai chilaman to dekha jalwa tera,
saw chilman and saw ur beauty

barhaya qadam to,manzil teree manzil teree,
and when u take the step,destination is urs

utae na de to soorat tere soorat tere
couldnt i see ur face

bhaware ki ghanghan main,
in the voice of moth?

aashiq ki darman main,phir
in the heartbeat of lover,

kanon may sargam main,kanon may sargam main,
in the melody of ears

bus tu hay,tu hi tu
there is only u and u

Noor Un Ala Noor Un Ala Nooor Un Ala Nooooooor
Light upon Light

dil ki deewangi man ki awaragi tu,
u are my hearts craze and u are my soul's craze

door lay kay chal tu,kuch poocha tu kuch poocha tu,
and asked something

zindagi ek raaz hay,ek raaz hay raaz hay
life was a mystery ,and it is a mystery

jaan ker hoga kya,jan ker hoga kya,kis nay hay jana
what would happen if u know, who knows that

koi mohabat kahay,koi fasana
someone calls it love,others just a story

deewanagi kahay chahay junnon,
whether they call it craze or madness

chahat hi,mere adaaaaaaa....
love for u is my (message,life,style)

Noor Un Ala Noor Un Ala Nooor Un Ala Nooooooor
Light upon Light

ENGLISH LYRICS:

MALE VOICE:

Yesterday at the fall of night,
Like wind is lost, my life was lost,
Today at the end of night, like suffering at the thought of that wind,
With my heart in turmoil, I ramble,
In the fold of your hair and the fall of your dress,
In the fold of your hair and the fall of your dress,
My ego was destroyed, my ego was destroyed,

FEMALE VOICE:

Dear friend, dear friend, my secret friend,
These are my smallest requests, give me a listening ear,
dear friend,

These same firm kisses, these same firm kisses,
this sameembrace, this same embrace,
I want it till the end of my life, I want it till the end of my life,
My friend, my friend, my secret friend,

(Instrumental)

You will do small mischievous acts,
You will make flowers bloom in my dress,
In the hands of a rose, you will blossom,
Like a devotee picking a flower,
You will trim my fingernails as I sleep,
You will wake up without a sound in the morning,
With olive oil dripping from your five fingers,
Bathe me,
When I cry because you have cried,
I want your finger to wipe my tears,
Dear friend, dear friend, dear secret friend,
These are my smallest requests give me a listening ear, dearfriend,

MALE VOICE:

Yesterday at the fall of night,
Like wind is lost, my life was lost,
Today at the end of night, like suffering at the thought of that wind,

In the fold of your hair, in the fall of your dress,
My ego was destroyed, my ego was destroyed,

FEMALE VOICE:

I will do whatever I was told in the daytime,
I will do whatever I was told in the daytime,
I will also do what you didn't tell me at night,
I will tickle your ear with my hair,
I will go around wearing your shirts,
I will also get drenched a bit when you are bathing,
I will carry you piggyback,
I will take you fold you in my palms and hide you in my handkerchief,
When you want to come out from this,
I will release you from your prison,
And get my wishes fulfilled.

Dear friend, dear friend, my secret friend,
These are my smallest requests,
give me a listening ear, dearfriend,
These same firm kisses, these same firm kisses,

Jab jung khatm ho, jab bebas ho insaan,

Won't new knots form in an old mangalsutra?

Singer: S P Balasubrahmanyam, Shuba

u aa u aa u aa u aa u aa u aa u aa u aa

door na ja mujhse paas aa kehta hu tujhse paas aa
don't go away from me, come near, i am asking you, come near

mera tan pyasa man pyasa nahi mujhko chain jara sa
my body is thirsty, my mind is thirsty, i don't have the slightestrelief

mere ang ang mein angarey
there are burning coals in my every limb

sulagti saanse tarasti baahein hai meri
my breaths are burning, my arms are longing

jaha bhi tu hai wahi nigahein hai meri
wherever you are my eyesights are there

hai chaand jaisa ye chehra tera badan tera sooraj
your face is like the moon, you body is the sun

to phir ye kyo hai ki yu andheri sari rahe hai meri
then why is it so that all my pathways are dark like this

tere ye ujale main baho mein bhar lu
may i fill all these lights of your in my arms

tujhe chhoo ke khud ko amar aaj kar lu
by touching you, may i make myself immortal today

machal raha hai dil mera
my heart is insisting

kabhi to hoga ye haath mere haatho mein
sometime this hand will be in my hands

kabhi to chhalkega pyaar teri baato mein
sometime love will overflow in what you say

kabhi to pighlenge tere tan man mere karib aake
sometime your mind and body will melt having come near to me

kabhi to tootenge saare bandhan mehki mehki raato mein
sometime all the shackles will snap in the smelling nights

teri aarzoo main jo karta hu jaanam
when i desire for you, o life

na jeeta hu jaanam na marta hu jaanam
i neighter live, o life, nor do i die, o life

tadap raha hai dil mera
my heart is suffering

door na ja mujhse paas aa kehta hu tujhse paas aa
mera tan pyasa man pyasa nahi mujhko chain jara sa
mere ang ang mein angarey
door na ja mujhse kehta hu tujhse aa

maine pyaar tujhi se hai kiya
I have loved you and only you

tere bin main jiya to kya jiya
when I lived without you, what was in my life

tere naino.n mein ye jo kaajal hai
this black paste that is adorned in your eyes

sapno.n ka baadal hai
this is the cloud of my dreams

man tere hi kaaran paagal hai
my mind is mad only after you

jaise ik unchhuua chumban dete uphaar mein

No drop of rain, no glowing flame
koi barkha ki boo.nd, ya bhadakti lapatein

kabhi ho paayi.n thi nirmal itni

if being in love can ever feel like this

Radha Kaise Na Jale
Film: Lagaan
Singers: Asha Bhosale, Udit Narayan, Vaishali, Chorus

madhuban mein jo Kanhaiya kisi Gopi se mile
in the honeygarden, if Kanhaiya meets some Gopi

kabhi muskaaye, kabhi chhede, kabhi baat kare
sometimes he smiles, sometimes he teases, sometimes he talks

Radha kaise na jale, Radha kaise na jale
how can Radha avoid feeling jealous

aag tan man mein lage,
a fire erupts in the body and mind

Radha kaise na jale, Radha kaise na jale

madhuban mein bhale kanha kisi Gopi se mile
in the honeygarden, even if Kanha meets any Gopi

man mein to Radha ke hi prem ke hain phool khile
in his heart, the flowers of love of only Radha have bloomed

kis liye Radha jale, kis liye Radha jale,
why should Radha feel jealous

bina soche samajhe,
without giving it a thought, without understanding it

kisliye Radha jale, kisliye Radha jale,

Gopiyaa.n taare.n hain, chaand hai Radha
so many Gopi are like stars, and among them, Radha is indeed Moon

phir kyu.n hai usko, biswaas aadha
then why does she have an incomplete trust

Kanha ji ka jo sadaa idhar udhar dhyaan rahe
when the attention of Kanha always wavers here and there

Radha bechari ko phir apne pe kya maan rahe
then what selfrespect remains with poor Radha

Gopiyaan aani jaani hai.n, Radha to man ki raani hai
Different Gopi will come and go, but Radha indeed is the queen of the
heart

saanjh sakaare, jamna kinare, Radha Radha hi Kaanha pukaare
dusk and dawn, on the banks of river Jamuna, Kanha is giving call only
to Radha

baho.n ke haar jo daale koi Kaanha ke gale
the garlands of her arms, when some Gopi puts in the neck of Kanha

radha kaise na jale

man mein hai, Radhey ko, Kaanha jo basaaye
when Kanha has made only Radha stay in his heart

to Kaanha kahe ko use na bataaye
then why does Kanha not reveal it to her in words

prem ki apni alag boli, alag bhasaa hai
there is an altogether different dialect, different vocubalary of love

baat naino.n se ho, Kaanha ki yehi aasaa hai
the communication takes place with the messages of eyes, this is what
is the only hope of Kanha

Kaanha ke ye jo naina hain, chheene.n Gopiyo.n ke chaina hain
These two eyes of Kaanha keep on snatching away the comfort of all the
Gopi

mili najariya, huee baawariya, gori gori si koi gujariya
when the eyesights met, some special fair-complexioned girl got
maddened

Kaanha ka pyaar kisi Gopi ke man mein jo pale
even if the love of Kanha gets cultivated in the heart of some Gopi

kis liye radha jale, radha jale, radha jale

radha kaise na jale

Ek Ladki Thi
Film: Love You Hamesha
Singer: Kavita Krishnamurthy

ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
i was a girl, so very shy

ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli
now i have become so much colourful

ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi, meri chunariya peeli peeli
my yellow scarf has become a snake and has got wrapped around me

naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi meri chunariya peeli peeli
ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

mere bachpan, chhod de baeeyaan
o my childhood! let go of my arm

mera yauvan, mera saeeyaan
my adulthood is my lover

haath main uske haath mein de doon
i wish to give my hand in his hand

aagey jeevan bhool bhulaiyaan
after that life may become any labyrinth

dil ki galiyon mein aaye banjaare
zypsies have arrived in the lanes of heart

bech rahe wo sapne kunware
they are selling untouched dreams

chhedi kisne bansi pe dhun sureeli
who has played such a sweet tune on flute

ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

chhan chhan
jingle, jingle

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
bangles jingle in the hands

paayalein raaton mein chan chan
silver ornaments worn in feet jingle during the nights

jal gayi re barsaaton mein
i got burnt during rains

aa gayi dil ki baaton mein
i got carried away by the prompting of my heart

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein aa gayi dil ki baaton mein
ha
naam ka saawan boond boond barse
the rains are dripping drop by drop, just for namesake

patjhad jaisa ye man tarse
my mind longs like the autumn defoliation

kaisi badan mein aag lagi ye
what is this fire erupted in my body

main to aa gayi baahar ghar se
i came out of my home

kaare badra tu mujhko bhigo de
o dark cloud, you drench me

doob jaaon main mujhko dubo de
i wish do get drowned, make me drown

kaisi pyaari rut hai ye meethi sureeli
what a lovely season this is, sweet and melodious

ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli
ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi meri chunariya peeli peeli
naagin ban ke mujhse lipat gayi meri chunariya peeli peeli
ek ladki thi, kitni sharmeeli
ho gayi re main kitni rangeeli

chhan chhan choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein
aa gayi dil ki baaton mein

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein
aa gayi dil ki baaton mein

choodiyaan haathon mein khan khan
paayalein raaton mein chan chan
jal gayi re barsaaton mein
aa gayi dil ki baaton mein

Sone Ka Palang

2007-06-11T05:56:00.000-07:00

Sone Ka Palang

Film: Love You Hamesha
Singer: Udit Narayan, Kavita Paurwal, Ila Arun

arey, ladka hai chaand jaisa, ladki chakori
boy is like moon, the girl like that bird which looks at the moon

allah salamat rakhe dono ki jodi
may god preserve the companionship of both

sone ka palang banaana, bistar pe taare bichhaana
make a bed of gold, spread stars on the matress

chandaa ki doli mein bitha ke, dulhan ko tum le jaana
carry the bride in the palanquin of moon

chandaa ki doli mein bitha ke, dulhan ko tum le jaana
sone ka palang banaana, bistar pe taare bichhaana
chandaa ki doli mein bitha ke, dulhan ko tum le jaana

hoy, sone ka palang puraana, doli ka gujra zamaana
the bad of gold is an old concept. carrying in palanquin was done in old times

dulhan ko baahon mein uthaa ke, le jaayega ye diwanaa
lifting the bride in arms, this mad man will carry her

dulhan ko baahon mein uthaa ke, le jaayega ye diwanaa

arey heere moti ki angoothi, na chaandi ki surmedaani
there is no ring of diamond or pearl, nor the silver container in which black paste is put for adorning the eyes

mister zero, filmy hero, jeb mein khaali prem kahaani
mister zero, you are like the heroes in films who just have love stories in their pockets

e e e e e
oye oye oye oye oye

daulat na dekho, mere dil ko dekho
don't look at material wealth, look at my heart

chhup ke akele mein tum humse mil ke dekho
meet me secretively and alone, and then see

tu kaisa chhaila, nehle pe dehla
what a lover you are, i am one up over everyone else

tu sabko chhede, par pyaar hai mera pehla
you are teasing everyone, but only she is my first love

wo kaun hai bolo, wo teri ek saheli
who is she, tell me. she is a friend of yours

par kaisi hai wo, laakhon mein ek akeli
(but how is she. she is only one among a million

jo wo na maane to, us se poochh ke dekho
in case, she does concede. at least try asking her

us ki soorat pe likha hai, mere pyaar ka afsaana
on her face, the story of my love is written all over

sone ka palang banaana, bistar pe taare bichhaana
chandaa ki doli mein bitha ke, dulhan ko tum le jaana
chandaa ki doli mein bitha ke, dulhan ko tum le jaana
hoy, ladka hai chaand jaisa, ladki chakori
allah salamat rakhe, dono ki jodi
arey, ladka hai chaand jaisa, ladki chakori
allah salamat rakhe, dono ki jodi

achchha, achchha, tera pyaar agar hai sachcha
okay, okay, if your love is true

hum ladki se mil ke, kar denge rishta pakka
we shall meet the girl and finalise the matrimonial bond

haay
ae ae ae ae ae
ae ae ae ae ae

ladki ki band zubaan hai, iska matlab haan hai
the girl is silent, it means that she agrees

lagta hai haan na ke beech mein ladki teri jaan hai
it appears that the girl's life depends on her yes and no

chal meri banno, ye sharm chhod de
come, my friend, give up this shyness

dil tod de, ya dil ko jod de
break my heart, or join your heart with my heart

aankhon mein intzaar hai, ye dil bhi beqaraar hai
her eyes are awaiting, my this heart is also restless

isi ka naam pyaar hai, mujhko pyaar hai, mujhko pyaar hai
this is what is called love. i am in love, i am in love

ab tub kuchh bhi bolo, ye laaj ka ghoonghat kholo
now you also speak something. unveil this cover of shyness

re ja re ja, na chhed is ko, ga ke aisa filmy gaana
go away, don't tease her by singing such a filmy song

sone ka palang banaana, bistar pe taare bichhaana
chandaa ki doli mein bitha ke, dulhan ko tum le jaana
chandaa ki doli mein bitha ke, dulhan ko tum le jaana

yesterday, i had resolved to abstain, today i have broken that resolution

karta kya hai, pyaar mein tauba
what do you do by making resolutions in love

pyaar mein nahin hoti tauba
there are no resolutions in love

botal tod de
just break the bottle

arey jhoot nahin bolunga ji, ha maine pi hai
kal tauba ki thi maine, aaj tod di hai

dil mein aag laga du, teri pyaas bujha du,
i may ignite a fire in your heart, i may quench your thirst

seekh le mujhse pyaar mein jeena, usey bhool ja diwane
learn from me how to live in love, forget her, o mad man

wo meri mehbooba hai, pataa hai, pataa hai
she is my lover. it is known to me

us mein dam mera dooba hai, arey to dooba hai
my heart is drowned in her. so what is great about it

kya vaisi koi dooji bhi hai, tujhe to nasha hai
is there any other one like her? you have become intoxicated

isi nashe ne mujhe loota hai, pataa hai, pataa hai
this very intoxication has looted me. it is known

wo bewafa thi magar us jaisi tu nahin
she had been unfaithful, yet, you are no way like her

saath kya degi tu, jab tak dam mein dam hai baaki
will you give company to me, as long as breaths last

jhoot nahin bolunga ji, ha maine pi hai
kal tauba ki thi maine, aaj tod di hai
karta kya hai, pyaar mein tauba
pyaar mein nahin hoti tauba
botal tod de

ae hey o ho ho ho

pyaar ke badle pyaar karegi, karoongi, karoongi
will you give me love in return of my love. i will

saat samandar paar karegi, karoongi, karoongi
will you cross all difficulties along with me. i will

raat ko merey saath chalegi, chaloongi, chaloongi
will you join me during the night, i will

saara din tu saath rahegi, rahoongi, rahoongi
will you accompany me for the whole day. i will

lo chhod diya peena maine, tu aankhon se pila
in that case, i give up drinking here and now, you rather feed me through your eyes

aaj se main tera mastaana, mastaana hu sanam
today onwards, i have intoxication of yours, o lover

jhoot nahin bolunga ji, ha maine pi hai
kal tauba ki thi maine, aaj tod di hai
karta kya hai, pyaar mein tauba
pyaar mein nahin hoti tauba
botal tod de

Yaar Teri Bewafai

Yaar Teri Bewafai
Film: Love You Hamesha
Singer: Mahalaxmi Iyer

yaar teri bewafaaee ka humko jara sa gam nahin
o friend! i am not at all sad about your infidelity

yahan tere se haseen, tere se jawaan, kam nahin
here, there is no dearth of persons who are more handsome than you, more youthful than you

tu nahin mila, koi aur mil gaya
you did not become mine, somebody else became

dil nahin khila, par dard khil gaya
the heart did not blossom, but pain got blossomed

aur kuchh bhi sochte hain hum nahin
i don't think about anything else

yaar teri bewafaaee ka humko jara sa gam nahin
yahan tere se haseen, tere se jawaan, kam nahin
tu nahin mila, koi aur mil gaya
dil nahin khila, par dard khil gaya

tu hai anjaan, hum anjaan nahin
you are ignorant, i am not ignorant

ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha
ha ha ha ha ha

tujhko mubarak ho ye naya naya pyaar tera
may your new novel lovel love be auspicious for you

/*Blogger's comment:
tujhko mubarak ho ye naya naya pyaar tera
Congratulations for your new found love
*/

in se milo, ye mere naye dildaar
meet this person, he is my new lover

tujhko mubarak ho ye naya naya pyaar tera
in se milo, ye mere naye dildaar

shikwa karein na shikayat karein
let us not complaint

chalo hum apni apni mohabbat karein
let's get on in loving our respective lovers

wo hi samaan par wo mausam nahin
it is that same environment, but not that weather

ab wo tum nahin, ab wo hum nahin
now, you are not your earlier self, now, i am not my earlier self

yaar teri bewafaaee ka humko jara sa gam nahin
yahan tere se haseen, tere se jawaan, kam nahin
tu nahin mila, koi aur mil gaya
dil nahin khila, par dard khil gaya

pyaar shola hi hai shabnam nahin
love is indeed fire, not dewdrops

humne bhi tod diya, kasmon ko vaadon ko
i also have snapped the bonds of promises and commitments

bhool gaye hum bhi, teri sab yaadon ko
i have also forgotten all the memories of yours

humne bhi tod diya, kasmon ko vaadon ko
bhool gaye hum bhi, teri sab yaadon ko

toone ye dil aise tod diya
you broke this heart lust like that

lekin humne bhi haath tera chhod diya
but, i have also let go of your hand

tu hai udaas, pareshaan hum nahin
you may be sad, but i am least worried

tere jaise anjaan, naadaan hum nahin
i am not ignorant, childish, like you are

yaar teri bewafaaee ka humko jara sa gam nahin
yahan tere se haseen, tere se jawaan, kam nahin
tu nahin mila, koi aur mil gaya
dil nahin khila, par dard khil gaya
pyaar shola hi hai shabnam nahin

Gup Chup Baatein

Gup Chup Baatein
Film: Love You Hamesha
Singer: Hariharan, Sadhana Sargam

gup chup baatein karne laga, terey badan se mera badan
(my body started to talk secretively with your body)

jeene laga main marne laga, chhoo liya maine tera badan
i began to live, i also started to die, when i touched your body

pyar ki aag mein jalne laga, kya tera kya mera badan
whether it was your body or my body, it started to burn in the fire of love

chaand bhi chhup gaya baadal mein, ho gaya aur andhera badan
moon also got hidden in the clounds, the body had become even more darkened

aa main chhod ke ye duniya, tere dil mein sama jaaoon
come, so that i can leave this world and to in your heart

door chala jaaoon sabse, tere paas main aa jaaoon
i wish to go away from everybody, and to come near to you

tukar tukar yuun mat dekho , main tujhse sharma jaaoon
don't look at me in such an unblinking way, or i will feel ashamed of you

apne dil ki dhadkan se tera dil dhadka jaaoon
i wish my heartbeats to make your heart beat

khud ko roka bahut magar, kaam na aaya koi jatan
i tried to stop me in every possible way, but none of the efforts succeeded

aaj hamein kuchh kehna nahin, haan aaj hamein kuchh karna hai
today, we don't have to say anything, yes, today, we have to do something)

chutki bhar sindoor teri maang mein aaj hi bharna hai
(i have decided to fill in your hairs a small quantity of vermilion, today)
(vermilion: a red-scarlet powder which marrried women wear on their hairs)

maangey se hamein jo nahin mili, bas wahi cheez churani hai
(what we could not get even after asking, we have to steal that very thing)

pyase mausam se keh do, hum ne pyaas bujhani hai
(tell the thirsty season that we have to quench our thirst)

raat milan ki aaee to, ban gaya shaam savera badan
the night of consummation had arrived, the body has become dusk and dawn

dar kar apni baanhon mein, bhar liya maine tera badan
feeling afraid, i embraced your body in my arms

aaj hamaare honthon par, dil ki kahani aaee hai
today, the story of heart has come up to our lips

humko koi hosh nahin, rut mastaani aaee hai
we are without awareness, such a enjoyable season has arrived

sej saji hai sapnon ki, raat suhani aaee hai
the marital bed has been adorned with dreams, such a beautiful night has arrived

ab chhaaye na chhaaye ghata, barse na barse saawan
whether clouds cover the sky or not, whether rains shower or not

dil mein bahut andhera tha, humne bas aag laga dee hai
there was pitch dark in the heart, we have torched a light

ek duje ki baanhon mein chhod chalaa humko bachpan
our childhood has dropped us in the arms of each other

gup chup baatein karne laga, terey badan se mera badan
jeene laga main marne laga, chhoo liya maine tera badan
raat milan ki aaee to, ban gaya shaam savera badan
dar kar apni baanhon mein, bhar liya maine tera badan

aaj agar hum door rahe, phir nahin hoga apna milan
if we remain separated today, thenafter it will not be possible to consummate our relation

gup chup baatein karne laga, terey badan se mera badan
jeene laga main marne laga, chhoo liya maine tera badan

gazab ho gaya, jiya kho gaya

my heart beat in such a manner as if it has faced some shock

dil aisey hi mera dhadka

behtey paani mein dekho, shola koi bhadka
see, a fire has sparkled in the running water

haaey shola koi bhadka

pehley gaya ye dil, ab jaan bhi jaayegi
first, my heart has gone, now, my sould will also go away

na chain aayega, na neend aayegi
neither relief will come, nor will the sleep come

saarey shaher mein rusvaaeeyaan ho jayengi
we shall be infamous in the entire city

badnaam meri angdaaeeyaan ho jayengi
my style of streching my limbs shall be infamous

jab se mile hain tere mere naina
ever since your and my eyesights have met

since then, i had been awake overnight

aankhon mein bas ja, mere dil mein sama ja
love you hamesha, meri baahon mein aa ja

ghata chha gayi
nazar mil gayi, kali khil gayi
gazab ho gaya, jiya kho gaya
arey ho gaya

chhup ke chhupa ke aadhi raat ko main jaagi
secretly, hiding myself, i woke up in the middle of night

aadhi raat ko main jaagi

ghar se nikal aayi terey sang bhaagi
i came out of my house, and eloped with you

terey sang bhaagi

na dar kisi se tujhe seeney se laga loonga
don't feel afraid of anyone, i shall embrace you in my chest

dekhe na koi tujhe aankhon mein chhupa loonga
i shall hide you in my eyes, so that nobody happens to see you

ja mere raaja baaja saath le ke aa jaana
go my king, bring musical band along with you

le ja mujhe baaraat le ke aa jaana
come with the procession of marriage, and carry me away

what is musical band and why the procession

main aur tu hum hain baby, janmon ke saathi

my heart says that you live taking my remaining age also, o my friend

kush main bhi huun, par sun mere yaar
i am also happy, but listen, o my friend

mere jeene mein hai tere dam se bahaar
there is spring season in my life, just because of you

kush main bhi huun, par sun mere yaar
mere jeene mein hai tere dam se bahaar

meri nazron mein to hai chhaaya huaa, teri dosti ka khumaar
my eyes are full of the intoxication of your friendship

machal jaane ka din hai, phisal jaane ka din hai
ke masti mein bahut aage nikal jaane ka din hai
hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu

main tere bin reh na paaoon, tu mere bin reh naa paaye
i can not stay away from you, you can't stay away far from me

phir mere hi apnon se kyon ghabraaye
then why are you wary of the ones who are my own people

dosti to hai jaan se pyaari
this friendship is even dear to me than my life

par miya teri fauz hai bhaari
but, o man, this army of yours is a little too much

ab na ruke, chhuk chuuk rail, chalo bombay
let our train not stop any more, let's go to bombay

ye haal hai dekho shaqal meri
this is the condition, see on my face

badi khatarnaak railgaadi hai teri
your train is quite dangerous

is gaadi ke sang nikal chalein, in baadalon ke paar
alongwith this train, let's escape to beyond these clouds

aley aley allay, aley aley allay, aley aley allay, aley aley allay,

paas door dekhoon jo kahi se
whether i look a things which are near, or the things which are far
away

aaj meri duniya hai waheen se
today, my life is starting from that place

nanhey munney in phoolon se gulzaar
adorned with these little tiny flowers

aaj ye tere jalwe saarey, lag rahey hain mujhko bhi pyare
today i am also finding all these styles of yours quite lovely

ab na ruke chhuk chuuk rail chalo bombay

yehi nanhey munne, aur yaara tera sang
these little, tiny kids, and this companionship of yours, o friend

isi rang se hai, meri zindagi mein rang
arising from this color are all the colors of my life

yehi pyari pyari saari baatein teri
all these lovely talks of yours

mujhe yaad rahengi mere yaar
will be remembered by me

aley aley allay, aley aley allay, aley aley allay, aley aley allay,

machal jaane ka din hai, phisal jaane ka din hai
ke masti mein bahut aage nikal jaane ka din hai
machal jaane ka din hai, phisal jaane ka din hai
ke masti mein bahut aage nikal jaane ka din hai
machal jaane ka din hai, phisal jaane ka din hai
ke masti mein bahut aage nikal jaane ka din hai
machal jaane ka din hai, phisal jaane ka din hai
ke masti mein bahut aage nikal jaane ka din hai

Film: One 2 ka 4
Singer: Alka Yagnik, Sonu Nigam

haey haey haey haey, dil ki bazi laga
put a bet of hearts

hum se aankhen mila, mere yaar re, mere yaar re
look into my eyes , o my friend

haey haey haey haey, pyaar ki hai umar
this age is for being in love

tu hai kyon bekhabar, sun yaar re, sun yaar re
why do you remain ignorant of this, listen my friend

ruk piya, ruk piya, ruk piya, ruk piya, piya, piya
halt, o lover

chala kahaan, le ke jiya, le ke mera jiya jiya
where are you pushing off, having taken my heart

haey haey haey haey, dil ki bazi laga
hum se aankhen mila, mere yaar re, mere yaar re

deewana main nahin, dil ka sauda ho tujhse, ye mushqil hai
i am not mad, it is difficult to make a deal of heart with you

kisi ko bhi de duun dil, ye khilauna nahin, aakhir ye dil hai
whether i will give my heart to just anyone, this is not a toy, after
all, this is heart

tauba tauba
god forbid

tauba tauba mujhko hi samajhe ho gair piya
god forbid, you have considered me a stranger, o lover)

tauba tauba mujhko hi samajhe ho gair piya

tere liye main le luun, duniya se bair piya
(for your sake, i can bear the enmity of entire world, o lover)

haey haey haey haey, dil ki bazi laga
hum se aankhen mila, mere yaar re, mere yaar re

tujh se bhi badh ke haseen, aur bhi hain jahaan mein, diwaani sun
there are other even more beautiful persons in this world than you are,
listen, o mad girl

mar jaaoon, mit jaaoon, tere sadakey karoon zindagaani, sun
i will die, i will get annihilated, i will give my life as alms for
your wellbeing, listen

o o o o do din hai jeevan ke, kisi ke bhi sang ho le
life is of two days, linger with just anybody

aa dil ki hai majboori, tujh pe hi dole piya
this is the compulsion of the heart, that it is swinging after you
only, o lover

haey haey haey haey, dil ki bazi laga
na
hum se aankhen mila, mere yaar re, mere yaar re
are, haey haey haey haey, pyaar ki hai umar
kya
tu hai kyon bekhabar, sun yaar re, sun yaar re
sun yaar re, sun yaar re, sun yaar re

Sona Nahi Na Sahi

2007-06-04T00:06:00.001-07:00

Sona Nahi Na Sahi
Film: One 2 ka 4
Singer: Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan

sona nahi na sahi, chaandi nahi na sahi
you don't have gold, it doesn't matter. you don't have silver, it
doesn't matter

fiqar kya hai main hun naa tere liye
there is no need to worry, after all i am very much for you

sona nahi na sahi, chaandi nahi na sahi
fiqar kya hai main hun naa tere liye

o magar jag mein meri jaan koi dil ki tamanna
but, o my life, in this world, some desire of heart,

mohabbat ke siwa bhi hai mere liye, tere mere liye
other than love, is also for me, for you and me

sona nahi na sahi
magar jag mein meri jaan koi dil ki tamanna
but, o my life, in this world, any desire of heart,

mohabbat ke siwa nahin tere liye, mere tere liye
other than love, should not be for you, for me and you

pyar main hun, pyar tu hai, maan ja o dilruba
i am love, you are love, please accept it, o lover

saare jag mein kuchh nahin hai ik tere mere siwa
in the entire world, there is nothing other than you and me

manta hun sanam pyar hi hai zindagi
i agree, my love, that love only is life

kya karoon dil mein thi baat koi aur hi
what do i do because there was some other matter also in my heart

jo bhi hai wo sab galat hai, maan ja o dilruba
whatever this other matter is, that is all incorrect, please accept, o lover

saare jag mein kuchh nahin hai ik tere mere siwa
in the entire world, there is nothing other than you and me

chalo maanaa bahas kya hai mohabbat hi sach hai yaar
ok, i accept this. this is not worth an argument, love is the only
truth, o friend

karoge tum, haan karoge tum sajan mujhse, karungi main tumse pyar
you will, yes, you will love me and i will love you

chalo sona nahi na sahi, chaandi nahi na sahi
fiqar kya hai main too hai naa mere liye
there is no need to worry, after all you are very much for me

hai naa mere liye

sajan sunanaa, jaan-e-tamanna
please listen, o lover, o the life of my desire

sajan sunanaa, jaan-e-tamanna, tere liye
please listen, o lover, o the life of my desire, i am for you

sona nahi na sahi, chaandi nahi na sahi
fiqar kya hai main hun naa tere liye

ho tirchhi nazaron se na dekho aashiq-e-dilgeer ko
please don't look at your sad lover, casting sideways glances at him

kaise teerandaaz ho seedha to kar lo teer ko
what an archer you are, get your arrow straightened

wo bada tez hai jo diwana hai mera
he is very sharp, he who is mad after me

huun usi ki shikaar jo nishaana hai mera
i am also his prey, who himself is the aim of my shooting

to kholo zulfein inki khushboo mein mehek jaaon jara
then, unwind your hairlocks, so that i get drenched in its fragrance
and start smelling

gorey tan ki chaandani mein phir chamak jaaoon jara
let me again shine in the moonlight of such a fair body

chalo do pal hum ik doojey mein kho jaaye is tarah
come, let's get lost in each other's body for two moments in such a
manner that

bahut din ke taraste lab lipat jaayen jis tarah
the lips which had been craving for several days get pasted on each
other

sajan sunanaa, jaan-e-tamanna
sajan sunanaa, jaan-e-tamanna, tere liye
sona nahi na sahi, chaandi nahi na sahi
sona nahi na sahi, chaandi nahi na sahi

sona nahi aa aa aa, chaandi nahi aa
sona nahi aa aa aa, chaandi nahi aa

I Am Sorry
Film: One 2 ka 4
Singer: Udit Narayan, Srinivas, Poonam Bhatia

i am sorry, mere pyaare, jaane do
i am sorry, my dear, let it pass

hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do
it happens, let go of it, let it pass

haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee
haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee
haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee, haee

i am sorry, o sorry, jaane do
hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do

ho gayi galati, chhodo bhi yaaron
a mistake has occurred, let go of it, o friends

jeebh nikaalo pyaaron
put you toungue out of your mouth, o dear

neemboo namak chatkaaro
and lick lemon and salt

ho gayi galati, chhodo bhi yaaron

i am sorry, o sorry, jaane do
hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do

i am sorry, mere pyarey sorry, jaane do
hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do

dekho re dekho, hai koi gadbad, nain hamarey phadake
see, something is wrong, my eyes are giving signal

jaane kyon dil dhadake
i don't know why my heart is beating abnormally

sher aaya, sher aaya, sher aaya, sher aaya, bhago re
a lion is loose, run away

sar neechey pair oopar bhago re
keep your head on the floor and feet above, but do run away

chhota sa ye ghar to mahal hai kal ka
this humble abode is quite a palace of tomorrow

dekho kaisa rang pade chhalka
see, what colors are spilling

dekho kaisa rang pade chhalka
ye sapna sachchaa ho jaane do
let this dream come true

hans khel ke, hil mil ke, jaane do
laughing and playing together

ye sapna sachchaa ho jaane do
hans khel ke, hil mil ke, jaane do

i am sorry, o sorry, jaane do
hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do

haaey mujhe yaad aaye kisi ki ye baat
oh, i am recalling someone's quote

chhotey bade dil, hil mil ke kar jaayen kaam
young ones and grown ups, together can get tasks done

aisa kaam ki jag mein ho jaaye naam
such a task that they earn fame in the world

koi jo rah jaaye, zaldi se mil jaaye
if someone lags, he should quickly join others

ye na ho ke peechhe pachhtaaye
it should not happen that he repents later on

jaane bhi do, jaane bhi do, jaane bhi do
let it pass

that's ok, that's ok, jaane do
hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do

i am sorry, baba sorry, jaane do
hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do

that's ok, that's ok, jaane do
hota hai, chhodo bhi, jaane do

Khamoshiyan Gungunane Lagi

Khamoshiyan Gungunane Lagi
Film: One 2 ka 4
Singer: Lata Mangeshkar, Sonu Nigam

PART A

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
silences have commenced humming

tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi
solitudes have commenced smiling

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi

sargoshi kare hawa, chupke se mujhe kaha
wind is telling me in a secretive whisper

dil ka haal bata, dilbar se, na chhupa
tell your beloved the state of your heart, don't hide it

sun ke baat ye sharm se meri aankhen jhuk jaane lagi
listening to this, due to shyness, my eyes commenced to stoop

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi
sargoshi kare hawa, chupke se mujhe kaha
dil ka haal bata, dilbar se na chhupa
sun ke baat ye sharm se meri aankhen jhuk jaane lagi

jaag utha hai sapna kiska meri in aankhon mein
dream about whom has awoken in my eyes

ek nayi zindagi shaamil ho rahi saanson mein
a new life is getting combined with my breaths

kisi ki aati hai sadaa hawaaon mein
someone's calling voice is appearing in the winds

kisi ki baatein hain dabi si honthon meni
someone's talks are sort of hidden in my lips

raat din meri aankhon mein koi parchhaaee lahraane lagi
night and day, some shadow has started lingering in my eyes

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi

dil ka ye karwaan yun hi tha rawaan rawaan
this caravan of heart was somehow drifting along just like that

manzil na hamsafar lekin naye meharbaan
without any destination or companion. but, o new merciful friend

teri wo ek nazar kar gayi asar duniya sanvar jaane lagi
that one glance of yours has caused such an effect that my world has
commenced to become orderly and decorated

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi

sharm-o-haya se keh do khuda hafiz o meri jaanaa
bid farewell to your shyness, o my life

hai ghadi milan ki khudaaraa laut ke naa aanaa
also tell your shyness that this is the moment of our meeting, hence,
for god sake, do not return

raat ka pardaa hamaari hi khaatir
the dark curtain of night has been spread just for our sake

saje hain hum bhi to tumhaari hi khaatir
i also have got adorned just for your sake

jaise jaise tum paas aate ho saansey ruk jaane lagi
as you approach nearer to me, my breaths are beginning to halt

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi

dil ka ye karwaan yun hi tha rawaan rawaan
manzil na hamsafar lekin naye meharbaan
teri wo ek nazar kar gayi asar duniya sanvar jaane lagi

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi

PART B

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi
sargoshi kare hawa, chupke se mujhe kaha
dil ka haal bata, dilbar se na chhupa
sun ke baat ye sharm se meri aankhen jhuk jaane lagi

jaag utha hai sapna kiska meri in aankhon mein
ek nayi zindagi shaamil ho rahi saanson mein
kisi ki aati hai sadaa hawaaon mein

raat din meri aankhon mein koi parchhaaee lahraane lagi

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi
dil ka ye karwaan yun hi tha rawaan rawaan
manzil na hamsafar lekin naye meharbaan
teri wo ek nazar kar gayi asar duniya sanvar jaane lagi

bekhayaali mein bhi aata hai khayaal tera
in a state of thoughtlessness also, thoughts of yours appear in my mind

beqaraari meri karti hai sawaal tera
my restlessness asks me questions about you

teri wafaaon ki ummeed hai mujhko
i am expecting you to trust me

/*
Blogger's comment:
wafaaon = faithfulness, fidelity
*/

teri nigaahon ki panaah de mujhko
please grant me shelter in your eyes

sun ai humnashee aas ye teri mujhko tadpaane lagi
please listen, o companion, this expection about you has
commenced to torture me

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi

dil ka ye karwaan yun hi tha rawaan rawaan
manzil na hamsafar lekin naye meharbaan
teri wo ek nazar kar gayi asar duniya sanvar jaane lagi

khamoshiyaan gungunane lagi
tanhaeyaan muskuraane lagi
