English Translation of "Sajanwa Bairi Ho Gaye Hamar"

One of Mukesh's many greats...he is relaying the agonizing tale of a woman who has lost her love.
I'm not sure about some of these lines, if someone can correct them, that would be great!

Song: Sajanwa Bairi Ho Gaye Hamar
Singer: Mukesh
Movie: Teesri Kasam
Actors: Raj Kapoor, Waheeda Rehman

Sajanwa bairi ho gaye hamaar...
My love has become my enemy...

Sajanwa bairi ho gaye hamaar
Chitthiyaan ho to har koi baache
Bhaag na baache koi
Karamwaa bairi ho gaye hamar
My love has turned against me
If it was a letter, I would read it
But no one can read fate
Even my actions have turned against me

Jaye base pardes sajanwa sautan ke bharmaaye...
My love has gone far away and has settled with another woman...

Jaye base pardes sajanwa sautan ke bharmaaye
Na sandes na koi khabariya rut aaye rut jaaye
Doob gaye hum beech bhanwar mein
Karke sola par
Sajanwa bairi ho gaye hamar
My love has gone far away and has settled with another woman
There has been no news from him; the seasons come and go
I'm drowning now in a whirlpool
After swimming through the worst part
My love has turned into my enemy

Sooni sej god mori sooni maram na jaane koi...
My bed is empty, my lap is lonely. No one knows how to soothe me.

Sooni sej god mori sooni maram na jaane koi
Chhatpat tadpe preet bichari mamta aansoon roye
Na koi is paar hamaara
Na koi us paar
Sajanwa bairi ho gaye hamar
My bed is empty, my lap is lonely. No one knows how to soothe me.
My unfortunate love for him tortures me; I shed tears of maternal love.
There is no one on this side of the shore to call my own.
There is no one on that side
My love has betrayed me.

Chitthiyaan ho to har koi baache
Bhaag na baache koi
Karamwaa bairi ho gaye hamar
If it was a letter, I would read it
But no one can read fate
Even my actions have turned against me

English Translation of "Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan"

Song: Jeena Yahan Marna Yahan
Movie: Mera Naam Joker
Singer: Mukesh
Actor: Raj Kapoor

Jeena yahan marna yahan
Iske siwa jaana kahan
You live here, you die here
Where else can one go but here?

Jee chaahe jab humko awaaz do
Hum hain wahin hum the jahan
Apne yahin dono jahan
Iske siwa jaana kahan
Call out for me whenever you wish
I'm still at the place I was before
These two worlds are here for me
Where else can I go but here?

Yeh mera geet jeevan sangeet
Kal bhi koi dohraayega
Jag ko hasane behroopiya
Roop badal phir aayega
Swarg yahin nark yahan
Iske siwa jaana kahan
These songs of mine, the music of my life,
Tomorrow will be sung by someone else.
The world will laugh as the clown
Will return with a changed face
Heaven is here, and so is Hell
Where to go but here?

Kal khel mein hum ho na ho
Gardish mein taare rehenge sada
Bhoolonge tum bhoolenge woh
Par hum tumhaare rehenge sada
Rehenge yahin apne nishan
Iske siwa jaana kahan
In tomorrow's game, whether I am there or not,
The stars will forever be in the sky
You will forget, and so will they
But I will forever be yours
My memories will remain here
Where else to go but here?

Jee chaahe jab humko awaaz do
Hum hain wahin hum the jahan
Apne yahin dono jahan
Iske siwa jaana kahan
whenever you desire, call out to me
I am there where I was earlier
my both worlds (life+death) are here
where else one can go

Jeena yahan marna yahan
Iske siwa jaana kahan
life is here and death is here
where else one can go

English Translation of 'Humne Tujhko Pyar Kiya'

Another great song by the Mukesh/Raj Kapoor duo. Taken from the movie Dulha Dulhan (Groom and Bride), this song was first sung by Sadhna's character when Raj Kapoor's character tries to leave her. Later, he sings the same song to her in an effort to conjure up the memories that they shared.

Song: Humne Tujhko Pyar Kiya
Singer: Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar
Movie: Dulha Dulhan
Actors: Raj Kapoor, Sadhana

Humne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna?
Humne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna?
The amount that I love you, who else would love you that much?
Who would love you as much as I do?

Aankh churayi, thes lagayi, dil bhi tune tora
Laakh churaya tune daman, humne saath na chora
Tere karam ko, tere sitam ko... tere karam ko, tere sitam ko
Sate rahe hum jitna... kaun sahega itna?
Kaun sahega itna?
You avoided me, you hurt me, you even broke my heart.
Many times, you tried to leave me, but I stayed by your side.
Your indifference, your punishments... your apathy and your reprimands
I have endured all this... who else would endure that much?
Who else would bear that much for you?

Humne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna? Kaun karega itna?
Who else would love you as much as I do?

Tu hi tu hai in ankhon mein, aur nahin koi duja
Tujhko chaaha, tujhko saraha, aur tujhe hi puja
Tere dar ko maan ke mandir... Tere dar ko maan ke mandir
Jhutke rahe hum jitna, kaun jhutega itna?
Kaun jhutega itna?
I have eyes for you and only you; not for any other
I adore you, I yearn for you, and I worship only you
I take your doorstep to be my shrine; your home, to be my temple.
Look how much I idolize you, who would hold you as high as I do?
Who would revere you more than I do?

Humne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna? Kaun karega itna?
Who else you love you as much as I do?





Humne tujhko pyar kiya...
Humne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna?
Humne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna?
I have loved you...
As much as I have loved you, who else would love you as much?
Who else could love you as much as I do?

Tu ne hum par laakh jafa ki; humne ada hi samjhi
Tujhse koi bhool hui to, ap bhi kata hi samjhi
Saamne tere yun hans-hanste, saamne tere yun hans-hanste
Lutke rahe hum jitna... kaun lutega itna?
Kaun lutega itna?
You were disloyal to me many times; I took it as your nature.
If you made a mistake, I took it as my own fault.
In front of you, I kept smiling... in front of you, I laughed it off.
As much as I have fooled myself for you, who else would do that much?
Who else would fool himself as much?

Hamne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna?
Who else could love you as much as I do?

Pyar pe mere naaz tumhe tha, yaad karo voh nazaara
Haath pe apne likh lete the jab tum naam hamaara
Teri adaa ke bholepan pe, teri adaa ke bholepan pe
Mitte rahe hum jitna... Kaun mittega itna?
Kaun mittega itna?
You used to be proud of my love. Try to recall those days
When on your hands, you would write my name.
The innocence of your nature, your simple personality..
I fell for it so hard... Who else would fall as hard?
Who would fall for you that hard?

Hamne tujhko pyar kiya hai jitna, kaun karega itna... kaun karega itna?
As much as I have loved you, who else would love you so much?

English Translation of 'Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein'

Here's one of Mukesh's later and probably most widely known songs. I've been avoiding doing this song because it's difficult to capture the meaning in a translation. Nonetheless, it's one of the most popular and beautiful songs of Hindi cinema so I thought I'd make an attempt, with the help of a few other translations on the net.

Some background about the movie: In the first video, you see Amitabh Bachchan and Rakhi as young lovers. Bachchan plays a poet and Rakhi his biggest admirer. They fall in love, but are not destined for each other. In the second video, Shashi Kapoor, to whom Rakhi is forced to marry, asks her to recite the famous poem on their wedding night, oblivious to the fact that its writer is the man who still holds his bride's heart.

Song: Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein
Singers: Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar
Movie: Kabhi Kabhie
Actors: Amitabh Bachchan, Rakhi, Shashi Kapoor



Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hain
Sometimes, in my heart a feeling emerges...

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hain
Ke jaise tujhko banaaya gaya hain mere liye
Tu abse pehle sitaaron mein bas rahi thi kahin
Tujhe zameen pe bulaaya gaya hain mere liye
Sometimes, in my heart a feeling emerges
That it's like you have been created just for me.
Before, you dwelled among the stars somewhere
And now, you have been called down to the earth just for me

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hain
Ke ye badan, ye nigaahen, meri amaanat hain
Ye gesuoon ki ghani chhaaon hain meri khaatir
Ye honth aur ye baahen meri amaanat hain
Sometimes, in my heart a feeling emerges
That this body, these eyes, are mine to treasure
As if the shade beneath these tresses is meant for me
And these lips and these arms are mine to treasure

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hain
Ke jaise bajti hain shehnaaiyan si raahon mein
Suhaag raat hain ghunghat uthaa raha hoon main
Simat rahi hain tu sharmaa ke apni baahon mein
Sometimes, in my heart a feeling emerges
That it seems like wedding instruments are trumpeting around us.
As if it's our wedding night and I'm lifting your veil
And you are shyly surrendering yourself in my embrace.

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hain
Ke jaise tu mujhe chaahengi umra bhar yunhi
Utthegi meri taraf pyar ki nazar yunhi
Main jaanta hoon ke tu gair hai, magar yunhi
Sometimes, in my heart a feeling emerges
That it's like you will love me forever like this
That in my direction, this loving gaze will always look up like this,
I know that you are not meant for me, but still, just like this.

Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayal aata hain...
Sometimes, in my heart a feeling emerges...

English Translation of 'Jaoon Kahan Bata Aye Dil'

A depressing but beautiful song by Mukesh.

Song: Jaoon Kahan Bata Aye Dil
Singer: Mukesh
Movie: Choti Bahen
Actors: Balraj Sahani, Nanda



Jaoon kahan bata ay dil
Duniya bari hai sangdil
Chandni aayi ghar jalaane
Sujhe na koi manzil
Where can I go, please tell me oh heart
This world is very cruel
The moonlight has come to burn my house
I can see no destination ahead

Banke toote yahaan aarzoo ke mahal
Yeh zameen asmaan bhi gaye hai badal
Kehti hai zindagi is jahaan se nikal...
The palaces of desire that once stood here have now crumbled
This earth and sky too are changed
Life tells me to leave this world

Haye is par to aansuon ki dagar
Jaane us par kya ho kise hai khabar
Thokare kha rahi har kadam par nazar...
This side is but a pathway of tears
What is on the other side, who knows
Here we stumble at each step and each glance.

Jaoon kahan bata ay dil
Duniya bari hai sangdil
Chandni aayi ghar jalaane
Sujhe na koi manzil
Where can I go, please tell me oh heart
The world is very cruel
The moonlight has come to burn my house
I can see no destination ahead

English Translation of 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega'

Song: Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega
Singers: Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar, Mahendra Kapoor
Movie: Sangam
Actors: Raj Kapoor, Vyjayantimala, Rajendra Kumar



Har dil jo pyar karega, woh gaana gaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega
Diwana...
Every heart that is in love will sing a song today
The one who is madly in love will be recognized in this crowd
The lover...

Aap hamaare dil ko churakar aankh churaaye jaate hain
Ye ek tarfa rasm-e-wafa hum phirbhi nibhaaye jaate hain
Chaahat ka dastoor hai lekin aap ko hi maaloom nahin
Jis mehfil mein shamma ho parwaana jaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega, diwana...
You have stolen my heart, and now you are shying away from me
Though my affection is one-sided, I still abide by my feelings
This is the obligation of love, but you don't even know it.
Where there's a flame, there will surely be moths
The lover in the crowd will stand out tonight, the lover...

Bhooli bisri yaadein mere hanste gaate bachpan ki
Raat biraat chali aati hain neend churaane nainan ki
Ab kehdoongi karte karte kitne saawan beet gaye
Jaane kab in aankhon ka sharmaana jaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega, diwana...
The forgotten memories of our happy childhood
Come to me night after night, stealing my sleep
Now I will dare to confess it so many seasons later...
I'm not sure when the shyness will leave these eyes
The lover in this gathering will stand out, the lover...

Apni apni sabne keh li, lekin hum chupchaap rahe
Dard paraaya jisko pyara woh kya apni baat kahe
Khamoshi ka ye afsaana reh jaayega baad mere
Apna ke har kisi ko begaana jaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega
Everyone has told their own story, but I remain quiet
The one who listens to the others' sorrows, how can he speak of himself?
This silent story of my heart shall forever remain untold
Having accepted everyone else, this outsider will now leave
A lover will be recognized in the crowd

Har dil jo pyar karega, woh gaana gaayega
Diwana sekdoon mein pehchaana jaayega
Diwana... Diwana...
Every heart that is in love will sing a song today
The one who is madly in love will be recognized in this crowd
The lover...

English Translation of 'Jis Gali Mein Tera Ghar Na Ho'

Here's the translation of a sweet song by Mukesh.

Song: Jis Gali Mein Tera Ghar Na Ho Baalma
Singer: Mukesh
Movie: Kati Patang
Actors: Rajesh Khanna, Asha Parekh

Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma
Us gali se hame to guzarna nahin
Jo dagar tere dwaare pe jaati na ho
Us dagar pe hame paaon rakhna nahin
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma...
Any street on which your house does not stand, my beloved
Is not a street that I want to pass through.
Any path that doesn't lead to your door,
Is not a path that I will set foot on.
Any street that your house is not on...

Zindagi mein kaii rangraliyan sahi
Har taraf muskurati ye kaliyan sahi
Khoobsurat bahaaron ki galiyan sahi
Jis chaman mein tere pag mein kaante chubhe...
Jis chaman mein tere pag mein kaante chubhe
Us chaman se hame phool chunana nahin
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma...
In life, I have had many colorful celebrations
Everywhere I look, I see smiling flower buds
And many beautiful views of springtime.
But that garden in which a thorn pricks your feet...
Any garden in which a thorn pricks your feet,
Is not a garden that I will pick any flower from.
That street that your house is not on...

Haan ye rasame, ye kasame sabhi tod ke
Tu chali aa chunar pyar ki odh ke
Ya chala jaaonga, main ye jag chhod ke
Jis jagah yaad teri sataane lage...
Jis jagah yaad teri sataane lage,
Us jagah ye ek pal bhi thhaharana nahin
Yes, these traditions, these promises... break them all
And run to me, flying the shawl of love in the air
Or else I will leave this world behind
And that place where your memories torment me...
That place where your memories torment me,
I will not linger there for one second.

Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma
Us gali se hame to guzarna nahin
Jo dagar tere dwaare pe jaati na ho
Us dagar pe hame paaon rakhna nahin
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma...
Any street on which your house does not stand, my beloved
Is not a street that I want to pass through.
Any path that doesn't lead to your door,
Is not a path that I will set foot on.
Any street that your house is not on...

English Translation of 'Tum Agar Mujhko Na Chaaho'

One of my favorite Mukesh songs. Raj Kapoor plays a singer who performs at a concert that Nutan's character attends. Moments before, prior to knowing that he is the great singer, she became angry at him for blocking her path on the way to the concert. However, he still singers her praises.

Song: Tum Agar Mujhko Na Chaaho Singer: Mukesh Movie: Dil Hi To Hai Actors: Raj Kapoor, Nutan, Pran




Tum agar mujhko na chaaho to koi baat nahin
Tum kisi aur ko chaahogi, to mushqil hogi
If you never loved me, then could handle it.
But if you were to love another, then it would be very difficult for me.

Ab agar mel nahin hai, to judaai bhi nahin
Baat todi bhi nahin tumne banaai bhi nahin
Yeh sahara hi bahut hai mere jeene keliye
Tum agar meri nahin ho, to paraayi bhi nahin
Mere dil ko na saraho, mere dil ko na saraho, to koi baat nahin
To koi baat nahin...
Gair ke dil ko saraahogi, to mushqil hogi
Tum kisi aur ko chaahogi, to mushqil hogi
At this point, we are not together; nor are we separated from each other
You have not yet cut ties with me; nor have you made them
I can go through life content in knowing that...
Although you are not mine, you also are not another's.
If you don't accept my heart... if you don't accept my heart, then that's no problem.
That wouldn't bother me...
If you accept the heart of another, then I would be hurt
If you were to love another, then it would be difficult for me

Tum haseen ho tumhe sab pyar hi karte honge
Main jo marta hoon, to kya? aur bhi marte honge
Sab ki aankhon mein kisi shaukh ka toofan hoga
Sab ke seene mein yehi dard ubharte honge
Mere gham mein na karaho, mere gham mein na karaho, to koi baat nahin
To koi baat nahin...
Aur ke gham mein karaahogi, to mushqil hogi
Tum kisi aur ko chaahogi, to mushqil hogi
You are so beautiful that everyone would fall in love with you.
If I say I would die for you, so what? Others would die for you too.
Every eye must be brimming with desire for you.
Inside every chest would be an ache for your love.
Suppose you do not suffer this desire for me... If you don't suffer the same desire then, no problem.
This wouldn't bother me...
If you sigh in longing for someone else, then that would be difficult.
If you were to love another, it would be difficult for me to bear

Phool ki taraha hanso sab ki nigaahon mein raho
Apni maasoom jawaani ki panaahon mein raho
Mujhko woh din na dikhaana tumhe apni bhi kasam
Mein tarasta rahoon tum gair ki baahon me raho
Tum jo mujhse na nibaaho, tum jo mujhse na nibaaho to koi baat nahin
To koi baat nahin
Kisi dushman se nibaahogi, to mushqil hogi
Tum kisi aur ko chaahogi, to mushqil hogi
Laugh like a flower, be the center of everyone's attention.
Stay safe in the shelter of your innocent youth.
Let me not see the day, I beg you...
in which I still yearn for you while you live in another's arms.
If you don't stay faithful to me... if you don't stay faithful to me, it's no problem
If you are faithful to the enemy, then it will cause a problem
If you were to love another, it would be difficult.

Tum agar mujhko na chaaho to koi baat nahin
Tum kisi aur ko chaahogi, to mushqil hogi
If you were to never love me, then it wouldn't be a problem.
But if you were to love another, then it would be very difficult for me.

M: Jaana kahan hai poochhe nadiya ki dhaara
L: Marzi hai tumhaari le jaao jis or. Jiyara re jhoom mere aise re, jaise banmaa naache mor...
L: Who understands what the waves are saying as they gesture to us.
M: "Where are you going?" asks the stream to the river
L: It is your wish; let us go in any direction. My heart dances with joy, just as a peacock dances in the forest...

M/L: Sawan ka mahina...

L:
Jinke balam bairi gaye hain bideswa
Aayi hain leke unke pyar ka sandeswa
Taari matwaari ghataaye ghan ghor
Jiyara re jhoome aise, jaise banmee naache mor
Those unfeeling lovers have gone far away
They have brought with them a message of love:
The dark tremendous rain clouds
The heart dances with joy, just as a peacock dances in the forest

Sawan ka mahina pawan kare sor
Jiyara re jhoome aise, jaise banmaa naache mor
Jiyara re jhoom mere aise re, jaise banmaa naache mor
It's the monsoon season; the winds create a noise.
The heart dances with joy, just as a peacock dances in the forest.
My heart dances with joy, just as a peacock dances in the forest.

English Translation of 'Laakhon Taare'

Another great duet about two separated lovers sung by Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar...

Song: Laakhon Taare
Singers: Mukesh, Lata Mangeshkar
Movie: Hariyali Aur Raasta
Actors: Manoj Kumar, Mala Sinha





Laakhon taare aasmaan mein ek magar dhoonde na milaa
Dekh ke duniyaa ki diwaali dil mera chupchaap jalaa
Dil mera chupchaap jala...
There are a million stars in the sky, but I couldn't find the one that I seek
After watching the world's celebrations, my heart silently burns
My heart silently burns...

Qismat ka hai naam magar hai naam hai duniyawaalon ka
Phoonk diya hai chaman hamare khwaabon aur khayaalon ka
Ji karta hai khud hi ghonth de apne armaano ka galaa
Dekh ke duniya ki diwali dil mera chupchaap jalaa, dil mera chupchaap jalaa...
They say that it was fate, but I know it was the handiwork of these people
They have extinguished my dreams and aspirations.
Sometimes I feel that I should strangle my hopes
Watching the world rejoice, my heart silently burns, my heart silently burns...

Sau-sau sadiyon se lambi yeh, gham ki raat nahin dhalti
Is andhiyaare ke aage ab aye dil ek nahin chalti
Hanste hi lut gayi chaandni aur uth te hi chaand dhalaa
Dekh ke duniya ki diwali, dil mera chupchaap jala, dil mera chupchaap jalaa...
Even after so many long years, this night of sadness does not seem to end
My heart doesn't seem to function in this darkness
As soon as I laughed, the moon disappeared; right when I arose, the moon set.
Watching the world's celebrations, my heart silently burns, my heart silently burns...

Maut hai behtar is haalat se naam hai jiska majboori
Kaun musaafir te kar paaya dil se dil ki ye doori
Kaanto hi kaanto se guzra jo raahi is raah chala
Dekh ke duniya ki diwali, dil mera chupchaap jala, dil mera chupchaap jalaa...
Death is better than my helpless life
What traveler has ever been able to traverse the distance from heart to heart?
Whoever has attempted to walk this path has encountered only thorns.
While the whole world celebrates, my heart silently burns, my heart silently burns...

Laakhon taare aasman mein ek magar dhoonde na mila
Dekh ke duniya ki diwali dil mera chupchaap jala
Dil mera chupchaap jalaa...
There are a million stars in the sky, but I couldn't find the one that I seek
After watching the world's celebrations, my heart silently burns
My heart silently burns...

English Translation of 'Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo'

Another song by the famous Mukesh/Raj Kapoor pair.

Song: Sajan Re Jhoot Mat Bolo
Movie: Teesri Kasam
Singer: Mukesh
Actor: Raj Kapoor





Sajan re jhoot mat bolo
Khudaa ke paas jaana hai
Na haathi hai na ghoda hai
Wahan paidal hi jaana hai
Sajan re jhoot mat bolo...
Sweetheart, don't tell lies
Because eventually, you'll have to show your face before God
There are no elephant or horse carriages up there
You can only walk there
Don't tell lies sweetheart....

Tumhaare mahal chaubaare
Yahin reh jaayenge saare
Akad kis baat ki pyaare
Yeh sar phir bhi jhukaana hai
Sajan re jhoot mat bolo, khuda ke paas jaana hai
You may have big palaces now,
But you will have to leave those here
Why do you bother to hold up your ego in pride
When you eventually will have to bow your head
Sweetheart, don't tell lies; you will eventually have to face God.

Bhalaa kije bhalaa hoga
Buraa kije buraa hoga
Wahi likh-likh ke kya hoga
Yahin sab kuch chukaana hai
Sajan re jhoot mat bolo, khudaa ke paas jaana hai
If you are good, then you will be rewarded.
If you are bad, then bad will come back to you.
What's the point in keeping track of these matters now
When you have to eventually pay your dues
Sweetheart, don't tell lies; you will be facing God someday

Ladakpan khel mein khoya
Jawaani neend bhar soya
Budhaapa dekhar roya
Wohi kissa puraana hai
Sajan re jhoot mat bolo khuda ke paas jaana hai
I spent my childhood playing
My youth was spent sleeping
And old age saw this and cried
That this is the same old story
Sweetheart, don't tell lies; you will have to come before God some day.

English Translation of 'Bhoole Se Mohabbat Kar Baitha'

Here's the translation for a melancholy song picturized by Raj Kapoor and sung by Mukesh.

Song: Bhoole Se Mohabbat Kar Baitha
Movie: Dil Hi To Hai
Singer: Mukesh
Actors: Raj Kapoor, Nutan



Bhoole se mohabbat kar baitha
Nadan tha bechara dil hi to hai
Oh, har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigado na khudara dil hi to hai
Dil hi to hai
I unknowingly fell in love.
This poor heart's only fault was being naive.
Oh, every heart makes a mistake sometime or another
Please don't get upset, Oh God, it's just a heart.
After all, it's only a heart

Is tarah nigahe mat phero
Aisa na ho dhadkan rukh jaaye
Seene mein koi patthar to nahin
Ehsaas ka maara dil hi to hai
Oh, har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigado na khudara dil hi to hai, dil hi to hai.
Please, do not look away from me like that
For my heart may just happen to stop beating.
Inside my chest lies not a stone,
But a heart with no feeling.
Oh, every heart makes some mistake or another
Please don't get upset, oh God, it's just a heart. It's only a heart.

Bedaag garon ki tokar se
Sab khwaab suhaane choor hue
Ab dil ka sahaara gam hi to hai
Ab gam ka sahaara dil hi to hai
I've been abused by many people
And all my pleasant dreams have been shattered.
Now, the only solace for my heart is sorrow
And the only support for that sorrow is my heart

Bhoole se mohabbat kar baitha
Nadan tha bechaara dil hi to hai
Har dil se khata ho jaati hai
Bigadon na khudaara dil hi to hai
Dil hi to hai.
I made the mistake of falling in love.
My heart was innocent and after all, it's just a heart
Every heart makes mistakes
Please don't be angry, o God, it's only a heart
It's just a heart.

English Translation of 'Gusse Mein Jo Nikhara Hai'

A lighthearted, playful love song sung by Mukesh.

Song: Ghusse Mein Jo Nikhara Hai
Movie: Dil Hi To Hai
Singer: Mukesh
Actors: Shammi Kapoor, Nutan

Ghusse mein jo nikhara hai us husn ka ka kehna
Kuchh der abhi hamse tum yunhi khafaa rehna
The glow that you have when you are angry is something to behold
So please stay upset with me for a little while longer

Is husn ke sholay ki tasveer bana le hum
In gharam nigaahon ko seene se lagale hum
Pal bhar issi aalam mein aye jaan-e-adaa rehna
Kuchh der abhi hamse tum yunhi khafaa rehna
I will paint a portrait of the blaze of your beauty
I will hold your fiery looks close to my heart
Even if it is just for a moment, please stay irritated
So please stay upset with me for a little while longer

Yeh behka hua chehra, yeh bikhri hui zulfein
Yeh badti hui dhadkan, yeh chadti hui saansein
Saaman-e-khazaa ho tum saaman-e-khaza rehna
Kuchh der abhi hamse tum yunhi khafaa rehna
The anxiety on your face and the scattered hair,
The fluttering of your heartbeat and the quickening of your breath
You look like a treasured landscape, please remain that way.
Please stay upset with me just for a little while longer

Pehle bhi haseen thi tum lekin yeh hakeeqat hai
Woh husn museebat tha yeh husn qayaamat hai
Auron se to badkar ho khud se bhi sivaa rehna
Kuchh der abhi hamse tum yunhi khafaa rehna
You were beautiful before, but here is the reality.
Your previous looks was labored, but this beauty is outstanding.
You are much better than all the rest. Stay upset the way you are.
Please stay irritated at me for a little while longer.

English Translation of 'Tum Jo Hamare'

I had to start with a Mukesh song... Hope you enjoy this heartfelt song.
Thanks for getting the translation, Shal!

Song: Tum Jo Hamare
Movie: Aashiq
Singer: Mukesh
Actors: Raj Kapoor and Padmini

Tum jo hamaare meet na hote, geet ye mere geet na hote
Hanske jo tum ye rang na bharate, kwaab ye mere khwaab na hote
Tum jo hamaare...
If you were not my friend, then this song of mine would never have been sung.
If you did bring color to my life, then my dreams would have never come true.
If you were not mine...

Tum jo na sunte kyun gaata main
Bebas ghutake rah jaata main
Tum jo hamaare meet na hote, geet ye mere geet na hote
Tum jo hamaare...
If you were not there to listen, then why would I feel the need to sing?
I would have just felt helpless and suffered within
If you were not my friend, then this song would never have been sung
If you were not mine...

Jii karta hai ud kar aaoon.
Saamne baith hoon aur doharaoon.
Tum jo hamaare meet na hote, geet ye mere geet na hote
Hanske jo tum he rang na bharate, khwaab ye mere khwaab na hote.
My heart feels like flying
I sit in front of you and say every day that
If you were not my friend, then this song would never have been sung
If you did not bring in the colors, my dreams would have never come true
If you were not mine...
