(Phir vohii shaam vahii Gam vahii tanahaai hai
Again the same evening, the same hurt, the same loneliness
Dil ko samajhaane terii yaad chalii aai hai)2
The memory of you has arrived, to make my heart understand

Phir vohii shaam
Again the same evening….

(Phir tasavvur tere pahaluu mein bithaa jaaegaa)2
Once more my imagination will be spent by your side
Phir gayaa vaqt gharii bhar ko palat aaegaa
Once more the bygone times will return for a moment
Dil bahal jaaegaa aakhir ko to saudaai hai
the heart will be appeased, then comes the madness

Phir vohii shaam vahii Gam vahii tanahaai hai
Again the same evening, the same hurt, the same loneliness
Dil ko samajhaane terii yaad chalii aai hai
The memory of you has arrived, to make my heart understand

Phir vohii shaam
Again the same evening….

(Jaane ab tujh se mulaaqaat kabhii ho ke na ho)2
who knows whether I will ever meet with you again
Jo adhuurii rahe vo baat kabhii ho ke na ho
the things not yet done, will they ever happen?
Merii manzil terii manzil se bichhar aai hai
my path has veered from yours

Phir vohii shaam vahii Gam vahii tanahaai hai
Again the same evening, the same hurt, the same loneliness
Dil ko samajhaane terii yaad chalii aai hai
The memory of you has arrived, to make my heart understand

Phir vohii shaam
Again the same evening….

(Phir terii zulf se rukhasaar kii baatein hongii)2
again I will talk with your tresses about your beautiful face
Hijr kii raat magar pyaar kii baatein hongii
it will be the end of the world, but we will talk of love
Phir muhabbat mein tarapane kii qasam khaai hai
once again I have sworn to suffer in your love

Phir vohii shaam vahii Gam vahii tanahaai hai
Again the same evening, the same hurt, the same loneliness
Dil ko samajhaane terii yaad chalii aai hai
The memory of you has arrived, to make my heart understand

Mohabbat hi na jo samjhe, Woh zaalim pyaar kya jaane,
"the one who does not understand friendship,
how can that heartless one know love?"
Nikalatee dil ke taaron se, Jo hai jhankaar kya jaane,
how can she understand the melody that comes from my heartstrings?

Use to qatl karna aur tadpaana hi aata hai
she knows only how to slay me and make me suffer
Galaa kiska kata kyunkar kataa talvaar kya jaane
whose neck was cut, and why, the sword can never know

Mohabbat hi na jo samjhe, Woh zaalim pyaar kya jaane,
"the one who does not understand friendship,
how can that heartless one know love?"

Davaa se faayda hoga ki hoga zehar-e-qaatil se
will the potion help, or the poison?
Maraz ki kyaa davaa hai ye koi beemaar kya jaane
what indeed is the cure? How can the ailing one know?

Mohabbat hi na jo samjhe, Woh zaalim pyaar kya jaane,
"the one who does not understand friendship,
how can that heartless one know love?"

Karo fariyaad sar takrao apni jaan de daalo
keep moaning, bang your head, give up your life
Tadapte dil ki haalat husn ki deewaar kya jaane
how can the wall ever understand the pangs of love?

Mohabbat hi na jo samjhe, woh zaalim pyaar kya jaane
"the one who does not understand friendship,
how can that heartless one know love?"
Nikalati dil ke taaron se, jo hai jhankaar kya jaane
how can she understand the melody that comes from my heartstrings?

karte rahe khizaa se hum sauda bahaar ka
I traded away my youth for the autumn
badlaa diya to kya, yeh diya un ke pyaar ka
Is this some way to return her love?

(sab kuch lutaa ke hosh mein aye to kya kiyaa)2
Awaking finally after losing all, what have I done?
dil ne agar charaag jalaaye to kyaa kiyaa
if my heart burned a candle , what use was it?

sab kuch lutaa ke hosh mein aye to kya kiyaa
Awaking finally after losing all, what have I done?

(hum badanaseeb pyaar kee rusawaaee ban gaye)2
I had no luck, I brought shame to love itself
khud hi lagaa ke aag (tamaashaaee ban gaye)2
having set fire to it myself, I became a joke
daaman se ab yeh shole bujhaaye to kyaa kiyaa
if I put out the fire now, what use is it?

dil ne agar charaag jalaaye to kyaa kiyaa
if my heart burned a candle , what use was it?
sab kuch lutaa ke hosh mein aye to kya kiyaa
Awaking finally after losing all, what have I done?

(le le ke haar phoolon ke, aayee to thi bahaar)2
Spring came to my life with garlands of flowers
nazare uthhaa ke hum ne hi, (dekhaa na yek baar)2
but I never looked up to see them even once
aankhon se ab ye parade hataye to kyaa kiyaa
now the scales have fallen from my eyes, what is the use?

dil ne agar charaag jalaaye to kyaa kiyaa
if my heart burned a candle , what use was it?
sab kuch lutaa ke hosh mein aye to kya kiyaa
Awaking finally after losing all, what have I done?

the distance between us in love could not be overcome

Vo Gharii Yaad Hai Jab Tum Se Mulaaqaat Hui
I remember the time when we first met
Ek Ishaaraa Huaa Do Haath Badhe Baat Hui
one sign, two hands reached out, that was that
Dekhate Dekhate Din Dhal Gayaa Aur Raat Hui
the day went by just looking at you, and night fell
Vo Samaan Aaj Talak Dil Se Bhulaya Naa Gayaa

everyone leaves, but when will the pain go?

TASVEER BANATA HOON

I am drawing your picture, but it does not work
ek khwaab saa dekhaa hai, taabiir nahiin banatii
The dream I saw, it refuses to become reality

bedard mohabbat kaa itanaa saa hain afasaanaa
The story of this cruel love is not long
nazaron se milii nazare, main ho gaya diiwaanaa
Your eyes met mine, and I went crazy
ab dil ke bahalane kii, tadbiir nahiin banatii
Now there appears to be no way to appease my heart

dam bhar ke liye merii duniyaan mein chale aao
Come into my world for just a moment
tarasii huyii aakhon ko phir shakl dikhaa jaao
Show your face once more to my longing eyes

Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni

MERA JEEVAN SAATHI: MP 3:

Khushi ke sath duniya mein, Hazaron gam bhi hote hain
Jahan bajati hain shahanai, Vahan matam bhi hote nain

(Mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gai
Lo khatam kahani ho gai)2

(Qismat ne kiye vo dil pe sitam do chahane vale mil na sake)2
(Kahane ko bahar ai thi magar do phul khushi ke khil na sake)2
Aramanon ka gulashan bigad gaya barabad javani ho gai

Lo khatam kahani ho gai

(Dil deke yahan sab har gaye duniya mein kisiki jit kahan)2
(Hothon pe hain shikave qismat ke vo pyar bhare ab git kahan)2
Jab khel hi dil ka bigad gaya har bat purani ho gai

Lo khatam kahani ho gai

Mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gai

Lo khatam kahani ho gai

TALAT MAHMOOD: THE GOLDEN VOICE:

Mera Jeevan Saathi Bichad Gaya Lo Khatam Kahani Ho Gayee
Album- Babul
Year- 1950
M.D- Naushad
Lyrics- Shakeel Badayuni
Duration- Original Version 3:23, 1980's Version 3:41, Concert Version 3:27

If Naushad created the perfect tunes for the golden era of HFM, only Shakeel Badayuni could transcend the mental boundaries involved in penning lyrics that would do justice to Naushad's perfect creation. Sahir Ludhianvi and Majrooh Sultanpuri might've also contended for that position, yet one seems to feel that it was a different kind of magic altogether. The composition is gloomy & haunting, the words mesmerizing. Talat sahab's singing, doesn't necessarily shine out in the original number. In my opinion, Talat sahab has been able to put a lot more of his soulful voice, the misery and longing it epitomizes, in to the 80's version. The concert version, ranks below the 80's version, on my charts. Owing to this being a popular number, even with its shortcomings, I doubt that anyone would care. This song would be listened to just as diligently, like any other Talat song, by every faithful admirer.

15) KOI NAHI MERA IS DUNIYA MEIN:

Chaand ek beva ki choodi ki tarah toota hua
The moon is like a widow's bangle, broken
Har sitaara besahaara soz mein dooba hua
every star, without a companion, lost in sorrow
Gam ke baadal, ik janaaze ki tarah thahare hue
The clouds of sadness, halting like a funeral procession
Sisakiyon ke saaz par kahata hai dil rota hua
accompanied by sobs, the heart says, crying

Koi nahi mera is duniya mein aashiaan barbaad hai
there is no one in this world to call mine, the nest is ruined
Aansu bhari mujhe qismat mili hai zindagi naashaad hai
my destiny is filled with tears, my life with sorrow

(Ja hava tu rasta le apana qismat hai meri ji ke tadapanaa)2
get on your way, wind! My fate is to live in suffering
Aayi hai mere gam pe javaani roti hui ik yaad hai
my youth is a weeping memory in my sadness

Koi nahi mera is duniya mein aashiaan barbaad hai
there is no one in this world to call mine, the nest is ruined

(Sookh chuke hain aankhon ke jharane loot liya hamein daag-e-jigar ne)2
the flood in my eyes has dried up, the wound in my heart has ruined me
(Phool nahi ye zakhm khile hain)2 (aasamaan saiyyaad hai)2
these are not flowers but wounds, the skies are slinging arrows

Koi nahi mera is duniya mein aashiaan barbaad hai
there is no one in this world to call mine, the nest is ruined

(Mausam dukhon ka sar par hai chaaya mujhase juda hai khud mera saayaa)2
the mood is of sorrows, a shadow over my head, even my own shadow has left me
Ham hain akele gam ke hain mele rooh ki fariyaad hai
I am all alone, it is a festival of heartache, and a lament of my soul

Koi nahi mera is duniya mein aashiaan barbaad hai
there is no one in this world to call mine, the nest is ruined

Trans: Venkat


The Nest:
The lyrics tells the story of "the nest" Someone with his companion and their children living in a happy cheerful house where laughter and contentment fills the air.
The Children then reaches marriageable ages, and then the father with tears of happiness in his eyes, bid them farewell on their journey of something calls "life" and as fate would have it, he then losses his companion. Hence the lyrics

Koi nahi mera is duniya mein aashiaan barbaad hai
"there is no one in this world to call mine, the nest is ruined."
"the flood in my eyes has dried up, the wound in my heart has ruined me"
"my destiny is filled with tears, my life with sorrow"
"I am all alone, it is a festival of heartache, and a lament of my soul"
"get on your way, wind! My fate is to live in suffering"

The Story of my life, your life, our life, it is all about the dictates of fate:

when the darkness of sorrow looms over us, remember the dawn is not far
Har Raat Ki Hai Paigham Yahin, (Tare Bhi Yahi Doharate Hain)2
every night brings us this message, the stars tell us so

Hain Sabse Madhur Vo Geet ...
The sweetest songs are those that we sing to the tune of pain

Pahalu Mein Paraaye Dard Basake, (Hansana Hansana Seekh Zaraa)2
Set aside your sorrows, and learn to laugh and make others laugh
Toofan Se Kah De Ghir Ke Uthe, (Hum Pyaar Ke Dip Jalaate Hain)2
Tell the storms to go ahead and rage, I will light the lamps of love

Hain Sabse Madhur Voh Geet Jinhen, (Hum Dard Ke Sur Mein Gaate Hai)2
The sweetest songs are those that we sing to the tune of pain

Hain Sabse Madhur Woh Geet ...
The sweetest songs are those that we sing to the tune of pain

TALAT MAHMOOD: THE GOLDEN VOICE:



Movie : Babul (1950)
Singer: Talat Mohamed
Music : Naushad
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni

17) MERA JEEVAN SAATHI: MP 3:

Khushi ke sath duniya mein, Hazaron gam bhi hote hain
along with happiness in this world, there are a thousand sorrows
Jahan bajati hain shahanai, Vahan matam bhi hote nain
where the shehnai (wedding flute) plays, there is also a dirge

(Mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gai
my life's mate has left me, the story is ended
Lo khatam kahani ho gai)2
the story has ended

(Qismat ne kiye vo dil pe sitam do chahane vale mil na sake)2
Fate dealt such a blow to our hearts, that two lovers could not meet
(Kahane ko bahar ai thi magar do phul khushi ke khil na sake)2
spring arrived in name only, two flowers of happiness could not blossom
Aramanon ka gulashan bigad gaya barabad javani ho gai
the garden of desires has withered away, the youth lost

Lo khatam kahani ho gai
the story has ended

(Dil deke yahan sab har gaye duniya mein kisiki jit kahan)2
having lost our hearts, we lost everything, who can win in this world?
(Hothon pe hain shikave qismat ke vo pyar bhare ab git kahan)2
our lips lament our fate, where are those songs of love?
Jab khel hi dil ka bigad gaya har baat purani ho gai
when the game of the heart has been lost, all else is the same old story

Lo khatam kahani ho gai
the story has ended

(Mera jivan sathi bichhad gaya, lo khatam kahani ho gai
my life's mate has left me, the story is ended
Lo khatam kahani ho gai)2
the story has ended

A GLIMPSE INTO THE PAST SOME SIXTY YEARS AGO:
A VERY YOUNG AND DEBONAIR DILIP SAAB BELTING OUT "MERA JEEWAN SAATHI"

THE VIDEO: MERA JEEWAN SAATHI:

Bollywood then was at its infancy stage.

Movie : Jahan Ara (1964)
Singer: Talat Mohamed
Music : Madan Mohan
Lyrics: Rajinder Kishan

18) MAIN TERE NAZAR KA SUROOR HOON

Main teri nazar ka suruur huun Tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
I am the light in your eyes, whether you remember or not
Tere paas rahake bhi dur huun Tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
I am near you, yet so far, whether you remember or not

Main teri nazar ka.....
I am the light in your eyes

Mujhe aankh se to giraa diyaa Kaho dil se bhi kya bhulaa diyaa
I have fallen from your eyes, tell me, has your heart forgotten me, too?
Teri aashiqii ka Guruur huun Tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
I am the pride of your love, whether you remember or not

Main teri nazar ka ...
I am the light in your eyes

Teri zulf hai mere haath mein Ke tu aaj bhi mere saath hai
your tresses are in my fingers, you are still with me now
Tere dil mein bhi main zaruur huun Tujhe yaad ho ke na yaad ho
and I, too, remain in your heart, whether you remember or not

Main teri nazar ka ...
I am the light in your eyes

Muhabbat tark kee maine......
