16) ZINDAGI MEIN TO SABHI PYAR KIYA KARTE HAIN

http://www.mastimag.com/download.php?song_id=44284

In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar  kiyaa karte hain

In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe  chaahuungaa

I will love you even when I am dead

Tuu milaa hai to ye ehsaas hu'aa hai mujhko

Ever since I have met you, I felt that

Ye merii umr  muhabbat ke liye thorii hai

This life is too short for love (expressing love to you)

Ek zaraa saa Gham-e-dauraan kaa bhii haq hai jis  par

The sorrows of the world for which one should spare a thought/breath

Main ne vo saans bhii tere liye rakh chhorii hai

Even that last breath, I have devoted to you

Tujh pe ho jaauungaa  qurbaan tujhe chaahuungaa

I will die for you, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe  chaahuungaa

I will love you even when I am dead

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar  kiyaa karte hain

In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

Apne jazbaat mein naghmaat rachaane ke liye

To express my emotions in my songs

Main ne dharkan  kii tarah dil mein basaayaa hai tujhe

I have kept you in my heart like a heartbeat Main

tasavvur bhii judaa'ii kaa bhalaa  kaise karuun

How can I imagine, to be separated from you

Main ne qismat kii lakiiron se churaayaa hai tujhe

I have stole you for myself from the fate

Pyaar kaa  ban ke nigehbaan tujhe chaahuungaa

I will be the caretaker for your love, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe  chaahuungaa

I will love you even when I am dead

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar  kiyaa karte hain

In a lifetime, everyone loves someone
Terii har chaap  se jalte hain khayaalon mein chiraag

The sounds of your footsteps light up my thoughts

Jab bhii tuu aaye jagaataa hu'aa jaaduu  aaye

Whenever you appear, it is like live magic

Tujhko chhuu luun to phir ai jaan-e-tamannaa mujhko

If I touch you, my love

Der tak apne  badan se terii Khushbuu aaye

Your fragrance eminates from my body for a long time

Tuu bahaaron kaa hai unvaan tujhe  chaahuungaa

You are the one that tha Spring talks about, so much I love you

Main tau mar kar bhii merii jaan tujhe  chaahuungaa

I will love you even when I am dead

Zindagii mein to sabhii pyaar  kiyaa karte hain

In a lifetime, everyone loves someone

17) BAAT KARNI MUJHE MUSHKIL KABHI AISE

http://www.mastimag.com/download.php?song_id=44280

It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now

(Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi)2
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now
Jaisi ab hai, teri mehfil, kabhi aisi to na thi
Your gathering has never before been, like it is now

Baat karni

(Le gayaa cheen ke kaun aaj teraa sabr-o-qaraar?)2
Who has taken away your peace of mind and patience
Beqaraari tujhe, ae dil! kabhi aisi to na thi
My heart, you were never as uneasy like you are now

Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now

Baat karni

(Un ki aankhon ne, Khudaa jaane, kiyaa kyaa jaadoo)2
God only knows, what magic her eyes have weaved
Yeh tabeeyat meri maa'il(attracted) kabhi aisi to na thi
My feelings for her was never as attractive as it is now

Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now

Baat karni mujhe

Chashme qatil mere dushman ki hamesha lekin

Those killer eyes were always my enemy,
Jaise ab hogaee qatil kabhi aisee to na thi
Your gathering has never before been, like it is now

(Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi)2
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now

Baat karni

Kyaa sabab tu jo bigar taa hai 'zafar' se har baar?
What is the reason, you get offended at 'zafar' all the time
Khoo teri hoor-e-shimaa'il kabhi aisi to na thi
You, the best angel, never had a habit, like you have now

(Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aisi to na thi)2
It was never as difficult for me to talk, as it is now

Jaisi ab hai, teri mehfil, kabhi aisi to na thi
Your gathering has never before been, like it is now
Baat karni

N.B. FROM OUR TRANSLATOR AND MYSELF:
WE WISH TO THANK SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WHO HAS DONE A MARVELLOUS JOB WITH BAAT KARNE MUJHAY MUSHKIL:

THIS TRANSLATION IS IMPECCABLE, JUST BEAUTIFUL!

Ranjana

So soft so serene and so heavenly, only the voice of Ustad Mehdi Hassan which we have come to expect can give us such joys in Ghazaals and light Classicals:

It was never so difficult for me to converse as it is now
Your party never was like this as it is now

Who has usurped you patience and peace
You never were as restless as you are now

Her eyes, my lord, cast what a spell on me
I never was as intoxicated as I am now

Those killer eyes were always my enemy,
but never were as fatal as it is now

What has made the face of beloved bright?
Shine in you, O Moon, never was as it is now

What is the reason that you are annoyed with ‘Zafar’,
Your habit, O blazing fairy, never was like as it is now

http://www.mastimag.com/download.php?song_id=44102

The garden of desires has again started to bloom.

(Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane)2

The garden of desires has again started to bloom
(Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane)2

The garden of desires has again started to bloom

Phir tujhe yaad kiyaa hai dil ne

Especially, when ever I remember you

Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane

The garden of desires has again started to bloom

(Daastaanen hain lab-e-aalam par)2

The story of that incident is on every lips

(Ham to chup chaap gaye the milane)2

Even though our meeting was was kept a secret

Phir tujhe yaad kiyaa hai dil ne

Especially, whenever I remember you

Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane

The garden of desires has again started to bloom

Phir tujhe yaad kiyaa hai dil ne

Especially, whenever I remember you

Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane

The garden of desires has again started to bloom

(Main ne chhup kar teri baatein kii thiin)2

I talked about you in a very discrete manner

(Jaane kab jaan liyaa mahafil ne )2

I am not sure when the people found out about you

Phir tujhe yaad kiyaa hai dil ne

Especially, when ever I remember you

Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane

The garden of desires has again started to bloom

Phir tujhe yaad kiyaa hai dil ne

Especially, whenever I remember you

Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane

The garden of desires has again started to bloom

(Anjuman anjuman aaraa_ish hai)2

The gathering is beautified (by you)

(Aaj har chaak lagaa hai silane)2

Today every wound in the heart is begining to heal

Phir tujhe yaad kiyaa hai dil ne

Especially, when ever I remember you

Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane

The garden of desires has again started to bloom

Phir tujhe yaad kiyaa hai dil ne

Especially, whenever I remember you

Gunchaa-e-shauq lagaa hai khilane

The garden of desires has again started to bloom
