(13)DIL KI DEWARON DAR PE KYA DEKHA....ALBUM: JAGJIT AND CHITRA:

Chitra:
(dil ke deewaron dar pe kya dekha)2
bas tera naam hi likha dekha
What did I see when I looked into my heart
I saw only your name written all over

Jagjit:
(teri aankhon mein humne kya dekha)2
kabhi qaatil kabhi khuda dekha
When I looked into your eyes, what did I see?
Sometimes a killer (of my heart), and sometimes a God

Chitra:
(apnee soorat lagi parayee si)3
(jab kabhi humne aa'inah dekha)
Looking at my face in the mirror
I felt that it belongs to you

Jagjit:
(haaye andaaz tere rukne ka)3
(waqt ko bhi ruka ruka dekha)2
Your gesture of stopping is admirable
even the time stops to observe your show

Chitra:
(tere jaane mein aur aane mein)3
(humne sadiyon ka faasila dekha)2
Time between your arrival and departure
Feels like a wait of hundred of years

Jagjit:
(phir na aaya khayaal zannat ka)3
jab tere ghar ka raasta dekha
I never thought about heaven again
eversince I saw the road to your home

teri aankhon mein humne kya dekha
kabhi qaatil kabhi khuda dekha
When I looked into your eyes, what did I see?
Sometimes a killer (of my heart), and sometimes a God

Chitra:
dil ke deewaron dar pe kya dekha
bas tera naam hi likha dekha
What did I see when I looked into my heart
I saw only your name written all over

THANKS a MILLION for this one. I was introduced to Jagjit Singh with this song and 'fell in love' with this tune. It sounds so JOYFUL, maybe a wedding song since it has MEHNDI in the lyrics.
Can't wait for the translation.
I hope you are able to find an MP3.

Ps
Please check out "Charka mera rangala.." and
"Hoton pe cholu.." as well if these are Ghazals.

Thank you once again and a big 'Thank You' to your friend Ranjana, for providing the numerous translations.

Once again , THANK you so very much.

ASJ, you (and Ranjana) are doing a superb job here. Congrats and thank you
Much appreciation from someone who hardly knew anything about ghazal ie aaprt fro the few Jagjit and Chitra songs). Now I have muchunderstanding and more appreciation for these melodies.



Vidya, Thanks for your kind words and sorry about the edit as the listed songs in your post was incomplete and did not look so well against the completed, once again I am sorry to edit.

Hey so very happy that you are getting into to groove of ghazals, if we changed the view of even one person on ghazals then our job would have been worthwhile.
Enjoy listening to the selections.

This one so cool, soul stirring, even my good buddy who is not so keen on Jagjit will tell you that this one is heavenly.
When a man indulges in so much sharab, the words and the thoughts comes naturally, even the voice is so soothing and appears to be pulling a string of one's heart.
A favorite of mine and I am sure that many will like this one.

Translations later by Ranjana: we all are eagerly awaiting the meaning of this Jagjit gem.

(1) KAHIN DOOR JAB DIN ...ALBUM: CLOSE TO MY HEART: MP3

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends..
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
And the dusk glides in slow and quiet like a new bride.
Mere Khayaalon Ke Aangan Mein Koi Sapnon Ke (Deep Jalaaye)2
in the courtyard of my thoughts, someone lights up my dreams

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in, slow and quiet like a new bride.

(Kabhi Yun Hi Jab Hui Bojhal Saansen
At times when my breathing is labored for no particular reason
Bhar Aai Baithe Baithe Jab Yun Hi Aankhen)2
When my eyes would fill with tears,for no reason at all,
Kabhi Machal Ke Pyar Se Chal Ke Chhuye Koi Mujhe Par (Nazar Na Aaye)2
someone stirs and walks up to me with love, touches my heart but i cannot see her.

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends..
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in slow and quiet like a new bride.

Kahin To Yeh Dil Kabhi Mil Nahin Paate
Sometimes inspite of physical closeness, people do not get along
Kahin Pe Nikal Aaye Janmon Ke Naate
Other times two people met and felt that they know each other forever, their relationship is longer than this lifetime
Ghani Thi Uljhan Bairi Apna Man, Apna Hi Hoke Sahe (Dard Paraaye)2
It is indeed a puzzle that the heart that belongs to me, feels others pain and make their troubles mine

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends..
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in, slow and quiet like a new bride.

Dil jaane, mere saare, bhed ye gahare
My hearts knows all my innermost secrets
Ho gae kaise mere, sapane sunahare
How my dreams have become a beautiful golden hue
Ye mere sapane, yahii to hain apane
My dreams, these dreams are all that I have
Mujhase judaa na ho.nge inake ye saaye, inake ye saaye
These dreams will never be taken away from me

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
and the dusk glides in, slow and quiet like a new bride.

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan aankho mein udaasi chhaayi hai
Desires kindle in the heart sorrow is entrenched in my eyes
Ye aaj teri duniya se hamein Taqdeer kaha le aayi hai
Today from your world where has fate brought me

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
Desires kindle in the heart

Kuchh aankh mein aansoo baaki hain (Jo mere gham ke saathi hain) 2
Some tears in the eyes are still left the friends of my grief
(Ab dil hain na dil ke armaan hain)2 Bas main hu meri tanhaai hai
There is the heart but no desire of the heart just me and my lonliness

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
Desires kindle in the heart

Na tujhse gila koyi hamko na koyi shikaayat duniya se
I don't have to blame you no complaints to the world
(Do chaar kadam jab manzil thi)2 Qismat ne thhokar khaayi hai
When the destination was four steps away fate has pushed me

Seene mein sulagte hain armaan
Desires kindle in the heart

Kuchh aisi aag lagi man mein jeene bhi na de marne bhi na de
Some type of fire was lit in my heart it won't let me live, it won't let me die
(Chup hu to kaleja jalta hai)2 Bolu to teri ruswaayi hai
If I am silent, my chest burns if I talk, then it will be your disgrace

Desires kindle in the heart

In my eyes is an endless ocean, the waters

Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain
Life is nothing else it is the story of you and me
(Ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai, maujo kee rawaanee hain
It is a song of love, it is a flow of ecstasy

Tufaan to aanaa hai, aa kar chale jaanaa hain
The storm is going to come, and then it will go away
Baadal hain ye kuchh pal kaa, chhaa kar dhal jaanaa hain
This dark cloud of a few moments, will eventually blown away
Parchhaeyan rah jatee, rah jatee nishaane hain
Images remain, marks remain

Zindagee aaur kuchh bhee nahee, teree meree kahaanee hain
Life is nothing else but a story of you and I

Ek pyaar kaa nagmaa hai, maujo kee rawaanee hain
It is a song of love, it is a flow of ecstasy

Asking for a garland of flowers (love) I got a garland of thorns (rejection)

Jaane Vo Kaise Log The Jinake Pyaar Ko Pyaar Milaa
Wonder who are these people whose love is reciprocated?

(Isko Hi Jiinaa Kahate Hain To Yuunhii Jii Lenge)2
If this is supposed to be living, then I will have to live like this
Uf Na Karenge Lab Sii Lenge Aansuu Pii Lenge
I will not even wince, remain silent not shedding any tears
Gam Se Ab Ghabaraanaa Kaisaa, Gam Sau Baar Milaa
Should I be afraid of sorrows? after I have been the receiptient 100 times
(Hamane To Jab Kaliyaan Maangii Kaanton Kaa Haar Milaa
Asking for a garland of flowers (love) I got a garland of thorns (rejection)

Jaane Vo Kaise Log The Jinake Pyaar Ko Pyaar Milaa)2
Wonder who are these people whose love is reciprocated?

(6)TASAVEER BANATA HOON......ALBUM: CLOSE TO MY HEART MP3:

(Tasaweer banaataa hoo, (tasaweer naheen banatee)2
I am trying to draw a picture of you, but alas I cannot
Ek khwaab saa dekhaa hai, taabeer naheen banatee
Your dreamlike glimpse was an illusion, in which the image is lost

(Bedard mohabbat kaa itanaa saa hain afasaanaa)2
This is the short story of my love affair
Nazaron se milee nazare, main ho gayaa deewaanaa
Our eyes met, and I have since become crazy for her
Ab dil ke bahalane kee, tadabeer naheen banatee
And now I cannot find a way to trick my restless heart to be content

Tasaweer banaataa hoo, tasaweer naheen banatee
I am trying to draw a picture of you, but alas I cannot

(Dam bhar ke liye meree duniyaan mein chale aao)2
Oh please for one moment, come back into my world
Tarasee huyee aakhon ko fir shakl dikhaa jaao
Show your face once more to my sad and waiting eyes
Muj se to meree bigadee takadeer naheen banatee
Fate is leading me astray, please come back into my life.

(Tasaweer banaataa hoo, (tasaweer naheen banatee)2
I am trying to draw a picture of you, but alas I cannot
Ek khwaab saa dekhaa hai, taabeer naheen banatee
Your dreamlike glimpse was an illusion, in which image is lost.

(8) TUM KO DEKHA TO YE.....ALBUM: KHAMOSHI MP3:

Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me
Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya)
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade

(Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya)2
When I saw you this thought came to me
Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade

Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

(Aaj Phir Dil Ne Ik Tamanna Ki)2
Today again my heart wished for something
(Aaj Phir Dil Ko Humne Samjhaaya)2
Today again I had to mollify my heart
(Sometimes the heart does not get its desires)

Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade
Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

(Tum Chale Jaaoge To Sochenge)2
When you leave then I shall ponder over it*
(Humne Kya Khoya Humne Kya Paaya)2
What did I lose (by your leaving) what did I gained
(by spending those moments with you)

Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade
Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

(Hum Jise Gunguna Nahin Sakte)2
The song that I am even forbidden to hum
(Waqt Ne Aisa Geet Kyoon Gaaya)2
Why did fate bring and sang that song for me?

Zindagi Dhoop Tum Ghana Chaaya
Life is like a hot sun and you are the soothing shade
Tum Ko Dekha To Ye Khayaal Aaya
When I saw you this thought came to me

(Teri Duniya Mein Jeene Se,
To Behtar Hai Ke Mar Jaaye)2
It is better to die,
than to live in your world

Wahi Ansu Wahi Aankhe,
Wahi Gum Hai Kidhar Jaaye
Same tears, same sighs, same sadness every,
Ohh where should one go to excape?

Teri Duniya Mein Jeene Se,
To Behtar Hai Ke Mar Jaaye
It is better to die,
than to live in your world

(Koi To Aisa Ghar Hoga,
Jaha Se Pyaar Mil Jata)2
Is there any place (home)
Where one could receive love

Wahi Begane Chere Hai,
Jaha Phuche Jidhar Jaye,
The same strange faces
Where ever I look and go

Teri Duniya Mein Jeene Se,
To Behtar Hai Ke Mar Jaaye
It is better to die,
than to live in your world

(Are O Asma Wale Bata,
Isme Bura Kya Hai)3
Oh God dwelling in the sky high, tell me
What is so bad about this

Kushi Ke Chaar Jhoke Agar,
Idhar Se Jo Guzar Jaye
Let the breeze of happiness
Blow through here (my life)

Teri Duniya Mein Jeene Se,
To Behtar Hai Ke Mar Jaaye
It is better to die,
than to live in your world

Wahi Ansu Wahi Aankhe,
Wahi Gum Hai Kidhar Jaaye
The same strange faces
Where ever I look and go

(har taraf har jagah beshumaara aadami
phir bhii tanahaaiiyon kaa shikaar aadamii)2
In every direction, every place is full of people
Even then, man is a victim of loneliness

subah se shaam tak bojh Dhotaa huaa
apanii hii laash kaa Khud mazaar aadamii
From morning to evening, bearing the burden (of his body)
A man is tombstone for his own corpse

phir bhii tanahaaiiyon kaa shikaar aadamii
har taraf har jagah beshumaara aadamii
In every direction, every place is full of people
Even then, man is a victim of loneliness

har taraf bhaagate daurate raaste
har taraf aadamii kaa shikaar aadamii
In every direction there are paths running
Everywhere, man is a victim (hunted by) of man

(har taraf har jagah beshumaara aadamii)2
phir bhii tanahaaiiyon kaa shikaar aadamii
In every direction, every place, there are several people
Even then, man is a victim of loneliness

roz jiitaa huaa roz marataa huaa
har nae din nayaa intazaar aadamii
Everyday he lives and everyday he dies
Every new day is a waiting game to live or die

phir bhii tanahaaiiyon kaa shikaar aadamii
har taraf har jagah beshumaara aadamii
In every direction, every place, there are several people
Even then, man is a victim of loneliness

zindagii kaa muqaddar safar dar safar
aakhirii saans tak beqaraar aadamii
The fate of life is journey after journey
Till the last breath, man is restless

phir bhii tanahaaiiyon kaa shikaar aadamii
har taraf har jagah beshumaara aadamii
In every direction, every place, there are several people
Even then, man is a victim of loneliness

Jab kisise koi gila rakhna
When you hold a grudge agains't someone

Trans: Ranjana

At last, the lovelorn finds that the blame he was putting on his beloved, the society and the whole world; these weren't the people to blame, but it was he himself, who had committed few mistakes and he himself was the one to be blamed.

(12) WOH KAGAZ KI KASHTI: ALBUM: WO KAGAZ KI KASHTI MP3:

Jagjit:
Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shohrat bhi le lo
Take all this wealth and fame
Bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawaani
You may even take my youth too
Magar mujhko lauta do bachchpan ka saawan
But please, let me keep my childhood memories
Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani
The boat made of paper and that water from the rain

Chitra:
Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shohrat bhi le lo
Take all this wealth and fame
Bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawaani
You may even take my youth too
Magar mujhko lauta do bachchpan ka saawan
But please, let me keep my childhood memories
Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani
The boat made of paper and that water from the rain

Jagjit/Chitra:
(Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani)
The boat made of paper and that water from the rain

Jagjit:
Mohalle ki sabse nishaani purani
The oldest relic of the community
Wo burhiya jise bachche kehte the naani
The old lady, whom all called Naani (Grandmother)
Wo naani kee baaton mein pariyon ka dera
That Naani's stories was about the fairies
Wo chehre ke Jhuriyon mein sadiyon ka phera
One could see her sufferings from the wrinkles on her face
Bhulaaye nahin bhool saqta hai koi
How can anyone forget
Wo choti see raaten wo lambi kahaani
The short nights and long stories
(concept: time passes fast when having fun)

(Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani)2
The boat made of paper and that water from the rain

Chitra:
Kari dhoop mein apne ghar se nikalna
In the hot afternoon, stealing out from the home
Wo chiriya wo bulbul wo thithli pakarna
and trying to catch the birds and butterflies
Wo guriya ki shaadi pe larna jhagarna
Those little squirmishes on a doll's wedding
Wo jhoolon se girna, wo gir ke sambhalna
Falling from the swing, and then getting up again
Wo pithal ke challon ke pyaare se tho'fe
Those beautiful presents of brass rings
Wo tuti hui chudiyoy ki nishaani
That Momento of broken glass bangles
(Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani)2
The boat made of paper and that water from the rain

Jagjit:
Kabhi re't ke oonche tilon pe jaana
Climbing the sand hillocks
Gharonde banana, banaake mitaana
Making sand castles then destroying them
Wo maasoom chaahat ki tasveer apni
That is the "Innocence of Childhood"
Wo khwabon khilono ki taabir jaageer apni
That personal estate of dreams and toys
Na duniya ka gham tha na rishton ke bandhan
Has no worries of the worlds nor bound by relationships
Bari khoobsoorat thi wo zindgaani
That life was so much beautiful

Jagjit/Chitra:
Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shohrat bhi le lo
Take all this wealth and fame
Bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawaani
You may even take my youth too
Magar mujhko lauta do bachchpan ka saawan
But please, let me keep my childhood memories
Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani
The boat made of paper and that water from the rain

Ranjana's Note: KAAGAZ KI KASTHI- HAS A SIGNIFICANCE- IN THE MONSOON WHEN IT RAINS- MOST KIDS, ESP IN THE VILLAGES WILL MAKE BOATS FROM PAPER AND FLOAT THEM IN
PUDDLES OR IN FLOWING WATER. IT IS TIME OF FRIVIOLITY AND EXCITEMENT.
THE POET IS CELEBRATING THE INNOCENCE OF THE CHILDHOOD.... TIMES OF SIMPLE
PLEASURES LIKE CELEBRATING A DOLL'S WEDDING, LISTENING TO STORIES, FLOATING
A PAPER BOAT.....

(13) DIL KI DEWARON DAR PE KYA DEKHA.......ALBUM: JAGJIT AND CHITRA MP 3

Chitra:
(dil ke deewaron dar pe kya dekha)2
bas tera naam hi likha dekha
What did I see when I looked into my heart
I saw only your name written all over

Jagjit:
(teri aankhon mein humne kya dekha)2
kabhi qaatil kabhi khuda dekha
When I looked into your eyes, what did I see?
Sometimes a killer (of my heart), and sometimes a God

Chitra:
(apnee soorat lagi parayee si)3
(jab kabhi humne aa'inah dekha)
Looking at my face in the mirror
I felt that it belongs to you

Jagjit:
(haaye andaaz tere rukne ka)3
(waqt ko bhi ruka ruka dekha)2
Your gesture of stopping is admirable
even the time stops to observe your show

Chitra:
(tere jaane mein aur aane mein)3
(humne sadiyon ka faasila dekha)2
Time between your arrival and departure
Feels like a wait of hundred of years

Jagjit:
(phir na aaya khayaal zannat ka)3
jab tere ghar ka raasta dekha
I never thought about heaven again
eversince I saw the road to your home

teri aankhon mein humne kya dekha
kabhi qaatil kabhi khuda dekha
When I looked into your eyes, what did I see?
Sometimes a killer (of my heart), and sometimes a God

Chitra:
dil ke deewaron dar pe kya dekha
bas tera naam hi likha dekha
What did I see when I looked into my heart
I saw only your name written all over
