If so, twistingly...

my shadow will wrap around your body

You can leave me a thousand times,
chhorate hain kab ye aramaan
But this desire will remain...

o miyaan hamse na chhipaao
Mister, do not conceal this from me
wo banaavat ki saarii adaaen liye
making use of false mannerism
ki tum isape ho itaraate
You take great pleasure in this,
ki main piichhe huun sau iltizaaen liye
that I'm pursuing you with many please
jii mein khush ho mere sonaa
In your heart you are happy, handsome one
jhuuth hai kyaa, sach kaho naa
Is this a lie? Tell me truthfully...

I'll remain by your side, wherever you might go

Rafi:
o phir hamase na ulajhanaa
Then do not argue with me
nahin lat aur uljhan mein par jaaegii
otherwise difficulties will befall unto you
o pachhataaogii kuchh aise
And you will be repenting in such a way,
ki ye surakhii labon kii utar jaaegii
that the redness of your lips will fade away
ye sazaa tum bhul na jaanaa
Do not forget this punishment
pyaar ko thokar mat lagaanaa
Love is not to be betrayed
ki chalaa jaongaa phir main na jaane kahaan
Else I'll walk away, who knows where

Tu Kahaan, Ye Bata, Is Nasheelee Raat Mein
Where are you lost, tell me, in this intoxicating night
Maane Na Mera Dil Deewaana
My passionate heart will not listen to reason
Haay Re, Maane Na Mera Dil Deewaana
Oh my passionate heart will not know peace

He, Bada Natkhat Hai Sama
see, the mischievous surroundings
Har Nazaara Hai Jawaan
Beautiful sights everywhere
Chha Gaya Chaaron Taraf, Meri Aahon Ka Dhuaan
Everything is enveloped in all directions in the clouds of my sighs
Dil Mera, Meri Jaan, Na Jalaa Tu Kahaan...
Spare my heart, my Love, don’t make it miserable, where are you…

Ho, Aai Jab Thandi Hawa
Oh, when the cold breeze blew
Maine Poochha Jo Pata
When I asked for your whereabouts
Vo Bhi Katrake Gai, Aur Bechain Kiya
The breeze slipped past me, agitated me even more
Pyar Se, Tu Mujhe, De Sada Tu Kahaan...
Lovingly, call out to me, where are you …

He, Chand Taaron Ne Suna
The moon and the stars heard it
In Bahaaron Ne Suna
These pleasant spring times heard me
Dard Ka Raag Mera, Rehguzaron Ne Suna
My cry of pain, the busy pathways heard it
Tu Bhi Soon, Jaaneman, Aa Bhi Jaa Tu Kahaan...
You too hear it, my life, it's about time you came, where are you…

Ho, Pyaar Ka Dekho Asar
Oh, see the power of love
Aaye Tum Thaame Jigar
You came, with eagerness of love
Mil Gayi Aaj Mujhe, Meri Manchahi Dagar
I have found today, the path I was seeking
Kyun Chhupa, Ek Jhalak, Phir Dikha Tu Kahaan...
Why hide, give me a glimpse, once again, where are you

saath mein, hain kisi ajnabi ke kadam
(Along there is some stranger's steps)
meri uljhan yuNhi besabab to nahin
(my frustration is not without reason)
dil ki betaabiyon ki kasam
(I swear by my heart's agitation)

Asha:
o.. hamdam mere, khel na jaano chaahat ke iqraar ko
(My friend, this is not a game, this promise of love)
jaan-e-jahaaN, yaad karoge, ik din mere pyaar ko
(My beloved, you will one day remember my love)

Rafi:
hamdam mere, khel na jaano chaahat ke iqraar ko
(My friend, this is not a game, this promise of love)
jaan-e-jahaan, yaad karoge, ik din mere pyaar ko
(My beloved, you will one day remember my love)

aaaaaaa
Bahut Shukriyaa Badi Meherbaani,
(Thanks a lot, you are so kind)
Meri Zindagi Mein Huzur Aap Aaye,
(For coming into my life)
Kadam Chumlun Yaa, Ke Aankhen Bichadun,
(Shall I kiss the ground you walk on to make you welcome)
Karun Kya Yeh Meri, Samaj Mein Na Aaye,
(What shall I do? I cannot decide)
Bahut Shukriya...
(thanks a lot..)

Karun Pesh Tum Ko, Nazarana Dil Kaa,
(Shall I offer you the gifts of my heart)
Nazarana Dil Kaa..
(Gifts of my heart)
Karun Pesh Tum Ko, Nazarana Dil Kaa,
(Shall I offer you the gifts of my heart)
Nazarana Dil Kaa..
(Gifts of my heart)
Ke Ban Jaaye Koyi.. Afasana Dil Kaa,
(So that it may start the saga of my love)
Khuda Jaane Aisi Suhani Ghadi phir,
(God knows if such a pleasant moment)
Khuda Jaane Aisi Suhani Ghadi Phir,
(God knows if such a pleasant moment)
Meri Zindagi Mein Palat Ke Na Aaye,
(may not come into my life)

Bahut Shukriyaa Badi Meherbaani,
(Thanks a lot, you are so kind)
Meri Zindagi Mein Huzur Aap Aaye,
(For coming into my life)

Khushi To Bahut Hai Magar Yeh Bhi Gam Hai
(I am very happy but there is this sorrow too)
Magar Yeh Bhi Gam Hai
(but there is sorrows too)
Ke Yeh Saath Apna Kadam Do Kadam Hai
(That this our walk together may just be a few steps)
(Magar Yeh Musafir Duaa Maangta Hai)2
(But this traveller is seeking this in prayers )
Khuda Aapse Phir Kisi Din Milaaye
(That God give that we meet again some day)

Bahut Shukriyaa Badi Meherbaani,
(Thanks a lot, you are so kind)
Meri Zindagi Mein Huzur Aap Aaye,
(For coming into my life)

Asha Bhosle:
Mujhe Dar Hai Mujh Mein, Gurur Aana Jaaye,
(I am afraid of becoming too proud)
Lagun Jhoomne Mein, (Surur Aa Na Jaaye,)2
(That I may start celebrating, in ecstacy)
(Kahin Dil Na Mera, Yeh Taarif Sun Kar,)2
(What if my heart, listening to your praise)
Tumhare Bane Aur Mujeh Bhool Jaaye,
(becomes yours and forgets me?)

Rafi:
Bahut Shukriyaa Badi Meherbaani,
(Thanks a lot, you are so kind)
Meri Zindagi Mein Huzur Aap Aaye,
(For coming into my life)
Kadam Chumlun Yaa, Ke Aankhen Bichadun,
(Shall I kiss the ground you walk on to make you welcome)
Karun Kya Yeh Meri, Samaj Mein Na Aaye,
(What shall I do? I cannot decide)
Bahut Shukriya...
(thanks a lot..)

Year:..............1961
Singer:............Mohd Rafi
Lyrics:............Sahir Ludhianvi
Musician:..........Jaidev


(abhee naa jaao chhodakar, ke dil abhee bharaa nahee)2
Don’t leave me now because my heart is not yet satisfied

(abhee abhee to aayee ho,)2 bahaar ban ke chhaayee ho
you have just arrived, your presence is like the springtime
hawaa jaraa mahak to le, najar jaraa bahak to le
let the air be filled with your perfume let the eyes sway a little
(ye shaam dhal to le jaraa,)2 ye dil sanbhal to le jaraa
let the evening merge into night and the heart steady a little
mai thodee der jee to loo, (nashe ke ghoont pee to loo)2
let me live for a moment, let me drink of the heady wine
abhee to kuchh kahaa nahee, abhee to kuchh sunaa naheen ..
I have to say a lot I have yet to hear a lot

abhee naa jaao chhodakar, ke dil abhee bharaa nahee
Don’t leave me now because my heart is not yet satisfied

Asha:
(sitaare zilameelaa uthhe,)2 charaag jagamagaa uthhe
the stars have begun to twinkle whilst the lamps are lit
(bas ab naa muj ko tokanaa,)2 na bahh ke raah rokanaa
enough don’t stop me, dont step up to block me
agar main ruk gayee abhee, to jaa n paaoongee kabhee
if I stay back now I will never be able to leave
yahee kahoge tum sadaa, ke dil abhee naheen bharaa
you will always say this my heart is not yet satisfied
jo khatm ho kisee jagah, ye ayesaa silasilaa naheen .
this will end somewhere this is not such a sequence

abhee naa jaao chhodakar, ke dil abhee bharaa nahee
Don’t leave me now because my heart is not satisfied yet

Rafi:
adhuree aans chhod ke, adhuree pyaas chhod ke
abandoned half the desires abandoned half the thirst
jo roj yoon hee jaaogee, to kis tarah nibhaaogee
if you leave thus everyday how then will you be true for life
ke zindagee kee raah me, jawaan dilon kee chaah me
that in pathway of life for young hearts in love
kaee makaam aayenge, jo hum ko aajamaayenge
many a time will come that will test you and I

buraa naa maano baat kaa, ye pyaar hain gilaa nahee
don’t get upset for I say this is love not to complain

Asha:
yahee kahoge tum sadaa, ke dil abhee bharaa nahee
you will always say your heart is not yet satisfied

Rafi:
ke dil abhee bharaa nahee
your heart is not satisfied

Asha:
Nahee, nahee nahee
no not satisfied

OO HO HOO OO HO HOO

Aaj Purani Rahon Se
TODAY FROM THE WORN OUT PATHS,
Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De
NO ONE SHOULD CALL ME,
Aaj Purani Rahon Se
TODAY FROM THE WORN OUT PATHS,
Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De
NO ONE SHOULD CALL ME,
Dard Mein Dubey Geet Na De
OR REMIND ME OF THE SONGS FULL OF SORROWS
Gham Ka Sisakta Saz Na De
OR VERSES FULL OF GRIEFS,
Dard Mein Dubey Geet Na De
OR REMIND ME OF THE SONGS FULL OF SORROWS
Gham Ka Sisakta Saz Na De
OR VERSES FULL OF GRIEFS,

O HO HOOO O HO HOOO

(Beete Dinon Ki Yaad Thi Jinmein
I'VE FORGOTTEN THE OLD MEMORIES
Maein Woh Tarane Bhool Chuka
I'VE FORGOTTEN THOSE OLD MELODIES,
Aaj Nai Manzil Hai Meri
TODAY I HAVE A NEW PURPOSE
Kal Ke Thikaane Bhool Chuka
I'VE FORGOTTEN THE THE OLD DESTINATIONS
Na Woh Dil Na Sanam
NEITHER THAT HEART NOR THAT LOVE,
Na Woh Deen Dharam
NEITHER THAT FAITH NOR RELIGION
Ab Door Hoon Sare Gunahon Se
NOW I'M FAR AWAY FROM ALL MY SINS

Aaj Purani Rahon Se
TODAY FROM THE WORN OUT PATHS,
Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De
NO ONE SHOULD CALL ME,

Toot Chuke Sab Pyar Ke Bandhan
ALL THE BODAGES OF LOVE ARE BROKEN NOW,
Aaj Koi Zanjeer Nahin
TODAY THERE IS NO BINDING CHAINS,
Sheesha-E-Dil Mein Armaano Ki
OF DESIRES, IN THIS GLASS LIKE FRAIL HEART,
Aaj Koi Tasveer Nahin
TODAY THERE IS NO PORTRAIT,
Ab Shaad Hoon Maein Aazad Hoon Maein
NOW I'M HAPPY, I'M INDEPENDENT,
Kuch Kaam Nahin Hai Aahon Se
THERE IS NOW USE IN SIGHS,

Aaj Purani Rahon Se
TODAY FROM THE WORN OUT PATHS,
Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De
NO ONE SHOULD CALL ME,
Dard Mein Dubey Geet Na De
OR REMIND ME OF THE SONGS FULL OF SORROWS
Gham Ka Sisakta Saz Na De
OR VERSES FULL OF GRIEFS,

O HO HOO OHOO HOOO

Jeewan Badalaa, Duniyaan Badalee
IT IS A NEW LIFE, A NEW WORLD
Man Ko Anokhaa Gyaan Milaa
MY MIND RECIEVED KNOWLEDGE,
Aaj Mujhe Apane Hee Dil Me,
TODAY I HAVE FOUND MYSELF ANEW
Ek Nayaa Insaan Milaa
I HAVE PEACE OF MIND
Pahuchaa Hoo Wahaa, Naheen Door Jahaa
I HAVE REACHED HERE FINALLY
Bhagawaan Bhee Meree Nigaahon Se
I CAN EVEN SEE THE ALMIGHTY

Aaj Purani Rahon Se
TODAY FROM THE WORN OUT PATHS,
Koi Mujhe Aawaz Na De
NO ONE SHOULD CALL ME,

Year:..............1962
Singer:............Mohd Rafi
Lyrics:............Hasrat Jaipuri
Musician:..........Shankar Jaikishen

Zara Thehro, Zara Thehro
Tarry a little, wait a while
Sada Mere Dil Ki,Zara Sunte Jaa
Listen to what my heart has to say

Khuli Palak Mein jhoota gussa band palak mein pyar
In open eyes, there is false anger In closed eyes, there's love
Jeena bhi mushkil marna bhi mushkil
Living is difficult, dying is difficult
Aankhon mein ikraar ki jhalki honton pein inkaar
Glimpses of consent in the eyes, denial on the lips
Jeena bhi mushkil marna bhi mushkil
Living is difficult, dying is difficult

Khuli Palak Mein jhoota gussa band palak mein pyar
In open eyes, there is false anger In closed eyes, there's love
Jeena bhi mushkil marna bhi mushkil
Living is difficult, dying is difficult

Jis Din se dekha tumko tum Lage Mujhe apne se
Since the day I saw you, I felt we belonged together
(Aur aate rahe aankhon mein)2 ek mann chahe sapne se
And I saw you coming as a heart desired a dream
Samajh na aaye Kya jeeta main aur gaya kya haar
Can't understand what I won and what I lost
Jeena bhi mushkil Marna bhi mushkil
Living is difficult, dying is difficult

Khuli Palak Mein jhoota gussa band palak mein pyar
In open eyes, there is false anger In closed eyes, there's love
Jeena bhi mushkil marna bhi mushkil
Living is difficult, dying is difficult

Tum Pyar chhupa ke haare main pyar jata ke haare
You hid your love and lost, I lost my love by espressing it
(Ab to saari duniya pe)2 zaahir hai haal humara
Now the whole world became aware of our state
Pahunch ke is manzil pe lautna ab to hai dushvaar
Returning after reaching our destination is so difficult
Jeena bhi Mushkil marna bhi mushkil
Living is difficult, dying is difficult

(Meri Kahani Bhoolne Wale)2
My story is a forgotten one
Tera Jahan Aabaad Rahe
may your life be happy
Meri Kahani...
my story...

Mere Geet Sune Duniyane Magar,
my song has been heard by this world but
Mera Dard Koyi Na Jaan Saka, Na Jaan Saka,
my pains cannot be understood by anyone, not by anyone
Ek Tera Sahaara Tha Dil Ko, Ek Tera Sahaara Tha,
My heart look to you for support, your support
Tu Bhi Na Mujhay Pehechan Saka,
even you could not recognise me
Bachpan Ke Woh Geet Puraane,
About Our childhood songs
Aaj Tujeh Na Yaad Rahe,
today you do not even remember
Meri Kahani..
[my story]

Mein Apna Fasana Kehna Saka,
I could not recount my story
Mere Dil Ki Tamanna Dil Mein Rahi, Lo Aaj Kinare Par,
my desires were left in my heart unexpressed
Lo Aaj Kinare Par Aake, Armaanon Ki Kashti Doob Gayi,
today after making landfall the ship of my dreams sank
Armaanon Ki Kashti Doob Gayi,
the ship of expectations have sunk
Kismat Ko Manzur Yahi Tha, Lab Pe Mere Fariyaad Rahe,
this was my destination, and I lament my lost love
Meri Kahani...
my story

Meri Kahani Bhoolne Wale
Tera Jahan Aabaad Rahe
