o ro chhori
O girl!

o ro chhori, maan bhi le, baat mori
O Girl!, give your consent to what I am saying

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

o goriya
O fair-complexioned girl!

o re chhore
O boy!

o re chhore, dil se nikle, bol mere
O boy! these words have come out from my heart

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

maine tujhko hi maana hai piya
I have accepted only you as my lover

tu ne thaama aaj ye aa.nchal hai
as you have taken hold of my this scarf today

man mein ek halchal hai
a disturbance has come about in my mind
main na bhooloo.ngi ye wo pal hai
this is that moment which I will never be able to forget

saa.nwariya
O lover!

my heart it speaks a thousand words
mera dil ye jo bole hai bol hazaar

I feel eternal bliss
main huu.n paa gayi khushiyaan aparampaar

the roses pout, their scarlet mouths
khole.n gulaabo.n ne sharmeele ho.nth laal ye

like offering a kiss
jaise ik unchhuua chumban dete uphaar mein

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

has ever been so pure
kabhi ho paayi.n thi nirmal itni

if being in love can ever feel like this
jo aisa hi jadoo karta hai pyaar

then i am in love for sure
mujh pe chhaa hi gaya hai ye khumaar

more man mein thi jo baat chhupi, aayi hai jabaan par
the topic that had remained hidden in my mind, has come to the tip ofmy tongue

like an arrow that was somewhere in my heart, has now got put on thebow

sun sun re sajan, rahe janam janam, hum prem nagar ke baasee
Listen, Please listen, o lover!, may we make our abode in the city oflove for lives after lives

thaame.n thaame.n haath, rehe.n saath saath, kabhi doori ho na jara si
holding each other's hands, may we remain together, may there never besightest distance between us

chaloo.n main sa.ng sa.ng teri raah mein, bas teri chaah mein
may i accompany you in your path, drenched only in the longings foryou

o re chhore
o ri chhori

koi poochhe to main boolu.n kya, ki mujhko chhuaa hai kya
if I am asked whether you have ever touched me, what do i answer him

more a.ng a.ng mein hai suga.ndh, jo tu ne hai chhoo liya
there is a fragrance got seeped into every limb of mine, as you havejust touched me, at last

tan mehka mehka, man dekha dekha, mujhe tu gulaab si laage
your body is sweet-smelling, your mind is aflame, to me, you arelooking like a rose

jo hai ye nikhaar, aur ye si.ngaar, to kyu.n na kaamana man mein jaage
when such is the blossom of your beauty, and such an adornment, thenhow can a desire not creep into my mind

tera ujla ujla jo roop hai, yauvan ki dhoop hai
this bright and fair complexion of yours is the sunlight of youth

o ri chhori
i am in love

Radha Kaise Na Jale

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

har sant kahe, sadhu kahe

sach aur saahas hai jis ke man mein

ant mein jeet usi ki rahe
he is the one who finally comes victorious

aaja re aaja re, aaja re aaja re
O! come

bhale kitne lambe, ho, raste, ho,
however long the pathways might be
NOTE: "ho" here and at several places in this song appears to be music
part, not the lyrics.

thake na tera ye tan, ho
may this body of yours not feel tired

aaja re aaja re

sun le pukaare dagariya
listen! the lane is giving a call

rahe na ye raste taraste, ho
may these paths not remain longing

tu aaja re
you please come

is dharati ka hai raaja tu,
you are the emperor of this earth

ye baat jaan le tu
may this fact get revealed to you

kathinaaee se takaraa ja tu
you take the difficulties head on

nahin haar maan le tu
you never concede defeat

mitwa sun mitwa
O lover! please listen, O lover!

tujhko kya dar hai re
what fear you have

ye dharati apni hai, apna ambar hai re
this earth belongs to us, sky is ours

tu aaja re

sun lo re mitwa
please listen, o lover!

jo hai tumre man mein, wo hi humre man mein
whatever is in your mind, the same is in our mind

jo sapna hai tumra, sapna wo hi humra hai, jeevan mein
whichever dream is yours, the same dream is ours in the life

chale hum liye aasaa ke diye, nayanan mein
we move ahead carrying the glowing earthenlamps of hope in our eyes

diye humri aasaao.n ke kabhi bujh na paaye.n
may the glowing earthenlamps of our hopes never ever get extinguished

kabhi aandhiyaa.n jo aake inko bujhaaye.n
even if storms ever arrive to try to extinguish them

mitwa sun mitwa
sun lo re mitwa

purwa bhi gaayegi, masti bhi chhaayegi
the wind from the east shall arrive again, the enjoyment will again
cover us

il ke pukaaro to
if we together give a call, then

phoolo.n waali jo rut hai, aayegi
the season that blooms flowers shall arrive again

sukh bhare din, dukh ke bin, laayegi
and it shall alongwith carry the days full of ecstasy, bereft of any
sorrow whatsoever

hum tum sajaaye.n aao, rango.n ke mele
you and us, please come, to decorate the colourfull gatherings

rahte ho bolo kaahe tum yu.n akele
why do so remain solitary like this, please say

mitwa sun mitwa

dhamak dhamak gunje badara ke danke
the thump of the drums of clouds is echoing

chamak chamak dekho bijuriya chamke
see, the lightening is flashing

man dhadkaayen badarwa
the clouds are causing heart to beat worriedly

man dhadkaayen badarwa
man man dhadkaayen badarwa
kaale megha, kaale megha paani to barsaao
O black clouds! please shower the water

bijuri ki talwar nahin, boondhoon ke baan chalaao
please don't draw the sword of lightening, rather shoot the arrows of
raindrops

megha chhaaye, barkha laaye
the clouds have accumulated and have brought rains

ghir ghir aaye, ghir ke aaye
these have accumulated

kahe ye man machal machal
the heart is saying this, so very persistingly

na yun chal sambhal sambhal
don't walk like this, so very carefully

gaye din badal, tu ghar se nikal
the days have got altered, you come out of your house

barasane waala hain amrat jal
the nectar like water is going to rain

duvidhaa ke din beet gaye
the says of dilemma have gone past

bhaiya malhaar sunaao
o brother! play the music of rainy season for me to listen

ghanan ghanan ghir ghir aaye badra


ras agar barsega, kaun phir tarsega
when the juice will rain, who desires will then remain unfulfilled

koyaliya gaayegi baithegi munderon par
nightingale will sing, and will sit on the boundary wall

jo panchhi gaayenge, naye din aayengey
when birds will chirp, novel days will arrive

ujaale muskuraa dengey andheron par
brightnesses will smile on the darknesses

prem ki barkha mein bheege bheege tan man
body and mind so very drenched in the rain of love

dharti pe dekhenge paani ka darpan
will see a mirror formed by accumulated water on the earth

jaeeyo tum jahan jahan, dekhiyo wahan wahan
wherever you might go, you please look there

yahi ik sama, ki dharti yahan
only this one is some scenery, the earth, here,

hai pahne saat rangon ki chunariya
is attired in a scarf of seven colors

ghanan ghanan ghir ghir aaye badra

pedon par jhule dhalo aur oonchi peng badhaao
mount the swings on the trees and swing high on it

kaale megha kaale megha paani to barsaao..

aayi hai rut matwaali, bichhaane haryaali
the intoxicating season has arrived to spread greanery all over

ye apne sang mein laayi hain saawan ko
it has brought rainy season along with it

ye bijuri ki paayal, ye baadal ka aanchal
this anklet jewelery of lightening, this scarf of clouds

sajaane laayi hai dharati ki dulhan ko
it has brought these to adorn the bride of earth

daali daali pehanegi phoolon ke kangan
every branch of the tree will wear the bracelets of flowers

sukh ab barsega aangan aangan
the happiness shall now shower on every terrace

khilegi ab kali kali, hansegi ab gali gali
every bud shall now bloom, every lane shall now laugh

hawa jo chali, to rut lagi bhali
when the wind has blown, then weather is feeling comforting

jala de jo tan man wo dhoop dhali
the sunlight that was scorching body and mind has now set down

kaale megha, kaale megha paani to barsaao
