Tauba Tauba

Tauba Tauba
Album: Vande Mataram
Singer: A R Rahman

Khud Se Jang Larta Hoon
I fight with myself

Rab Se Yeh Kehta Hoon
I say it to my LORD

Charon Or Jo Hota Hai
Whatever is happening in all 4 directions around me

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
the exact definition of nafs though) is too proud

Tauba Tauba Sach Se Door Hai
Pardon(my Lord),Pardon(my Lord) It(nafs-the inner self)is away from
the truth

Tauba Tauba Dil Bai Noor Hai
Pardon(my Lord),Pardon(my Lord)Heart is without true light.

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)

vande mataram vande mataram

yaha waha saara jaha dekh liya hai
here and there, i have seen the entire world

kahi bhi tere jaisa koi nahin hai
but, there is no one anywhere like you

assi nahi sau din duniya ghooma hu
i have travelled across the world, not for eighty, but for a hundred
days

nahi kahi tere jaisa koi nahi hai
no one anywhere, like you no one is there

main gaya jaha bhi bas teri yaad thi
wherever i went, only your memories were there

jo mere saath thi mujhko tadpati rulati
that had accompanied me, torturing me, making me weep

sabse pyaari teri surat pyaar hai bas tera pyaar hi
your face is the loveliest of them all, your affection is the only
love

maa tujhe salam
oh mother! i salute to you

maa tujhe salam
amma tujhe salam
vande mataram vande mataram
vande mataram vande mataram
vande mataram vande mataram
vande mataram vande mataram

jaha tu hai vaha main tera hu diwana main
wherever you are, i am there, i am mad after you

jhumu naachu gaaoo tere pyaar ka tarana main
i swing, i dance, i sing, the song of your love

chanda nahin sooraj nahin duiya ki daulat nahin
i don't want the moon, nor the sun, nor the wealth of this world

bas lootunga tere pyaar ka khajana
i will only loot the treasure of your love

ek nazar jab teri nazar jab teri
one glance of yours

hoti hai pyaar ki hoti hai pyaar ki
you cast on me, filled with love

duniya tab to meri chamke damke mehke re
then my world shines, glitters, smells

tera chehra sooraj jaisa chaand si thand hai pyaar mein
you face is like the sun, the coolness of the moon is in your love

vande mataram vande mataram
vande mataram vande mataram
vande mataram vande mataram
vande mataram

tere paas hi main aa raha hu apni baahe khol de
i am going to come near you, you please spread your arms

jor se mujhko gale laga le mujhko phir wo pyaar de
and hug me enthusiatically, grant me again that love of yours

maa maa maa
oh mother!, oh mother!, oh mother!

tu hi jindagi hai tu hi meri mohabbat hai
only your are the life, only you are my love

tere hi pairo mein jannat hai tu hi dil tu jaan maa
the paradise lies only in your feet, you are my heart, you are my life,
oh mother!

Only You

Only you
Album: Vande Mataram
Singer: A.R.Rahman

Tera ek khayal, aisa hi bekamaal,
husn-e-jahan se bhi haseen-o-bemisaal.
Tera hi to hai aks-char sur,
tera hi to rang hai aisa hi bejamal,

Teri hi tadap hai mujhe.
Chain hi kahan hain mujhe?

*Aankhon ki pyaas hai,
*is dil ki aas hai,
*Inki talaash hai,
*ONLY YOU.

aankhon ki pyaas hai(repeat)

Na chahta hoon main, yeh jahan
na chahta hoon main jannat wahan
Ha chahta hoon main only you..
ha chahta hoon main only you..
aankhon ki pyas hai(repeat)

Mere wajood ki, tu hi wajah,
Mere sujood ki bhi tu hi wajah(repeat)

Kehta hai jab tu, main hoon tera,
parda hai phir kyon darmiyaan,
Jiske deedar ko tarse,
o hai..only you..

aankhon ki pyaas hai(repeat twice)

--Translation--

One moment of your thoughts, is as incredible,
as beauty that surpasses the glory of this entire world.
These melodies are borne from you,
and the tone of your appearance is just as breathtaking.

What I have is just a flutter for you,
what I don't is tranquility.

My eyes thirst for you,
My heart longs for you,
I search for these in you,
Only you.

I don't long for this world any more,
nor do I long for heaven that's there.
But yes, I long for you.. only you.

You are the justification for my identity
You remain the reason for my demeanour too.

When you say that I am yours,
why does the purdah remain (a route) between us?
Whose companionship I desperately seek,
tis you, only you.

Tera Ek Khayal, Aisa hi Bekamaal
One thought of yours, is so amazing..

Hai husn jahan se bhi haseeno bemisaal...
Your face is more beautyful than the world [bemisaal = unparalleled]

Tera hi to hai, aks chaar sun,
Your presence is in all four directions [aks = shade/presence]

Tera hi to rang hai aisa hi bejamaal..
Only your colors are inexplicable

Teri hi tadap hai mujhe,
You are the only one that i thirst

Chain hi kahan hai mujhe...
Restlessness never eludes me

THe thirst of my eyes, the desire of my heart

Inki Talaash hai, Only you (2)
What they search for, is only you

Na Chahta hoon main, yeh jahan..
I dont want this world

Na Chahata hoon main jannat wahan.....
I dont want the heavens

Haan Chahta hoon main only you,
Yes but i do want you

Aankhon ki pyaas hai, is dil ki aans hai

Mere wajood ki tu hi wajah,
The reason for my existence is you

Mere sujood ki bhi tu hi wajah... (2)
The reason for my kneeling down is you

Kehta hai jab tu, main hoon tera..
When you say i am yours

Purdah hai phir kyon darmiyaan...
Why is there is curtain between us? [purdah = curtain]

Jiske deedar ko tarsoon woh hai Only you....
The one whose presence i crave for is you
