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 '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 '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.

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 'Mujhe Buddha Mil Gaya'

A funny song from the classic movie Sangam. Vijayantimala's character puts on her own show after her husband didn't want to take her with him to a cabaret...

Song: Main Kya Karoon Ram Mujhe Buddha Mil Gaya
Movie: Sangam
Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Actors: Vijayantimala, Raj Kapoor




Haan, buddha!
Main kya karoon Ram mujhe buddha mil gaya...
Yes, you're an old man!
Oh God, what am I to do? I'm stuck with an old geezer.

Sab jo gaye baagh mera buddha bhi chal aa gaya
Sabko laaye phool buddha gobhi leke aa gaya
Main ho gayi badnaam mujhe buddha mil gaya
Main kya karun Ram mujhe buddha mil gaya
Everyone went to the garden and my old man followed them there
While everyone else brought flowers, he came back with a cauliflower
I'm so embarassed because of this old man.
What should I do God? I'm stick with this geezer...

Main gudiya haseen meri morni si chaal hai
Sar mein safed uske dadaji sa baal hai
Kya hoga anjaam mujhe buddha mil gaya
Hai kya karoon Ram mujhe buddha mil gaya
I'm a gorgeous babe, who has the graceful strut of a peacock
But look at this grandpa, he has grays all over his head
I don't know what will become of me because I'm stuck with this old man
Help me God, because I'm stuck with an old man

Pariyan ke des mujhe buddha leke aa gaya
Maine jo uthaya ghunghat buddha ghussa kha gaya
Bigadega har kaam mujhe buddha mil gaya
Main kya karoon Ram mujhe buddha mil gaya..
My old man took me to the land of fairies
But when I tried to lift my veil to look around, he got upset at me!
Nothing's going to go right... I'm stuck with this grumpy old man
Oh God, please help me! I'm stuck with this old man

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...
