(Those days of dreams, those days of books)
Sawaalon ki raaten jawaabon ke din
(Nights of answers, days of questions)
Kayi saal humne guzaare yahaan
(we had spend a lot of years here)
Yahin saath khele hue hum jawaan, hue hum jawaan

Tha bachpan bada aashiqaana humaara

Bane chaahe dushman zamaana humaara
Salaamat rahe dostaana humaara

Humein dosti ki qasam doston
(we swear on this friendship)
Pata koyi poochhe to kehte hain hum
(If somebody asks about our wareabout)
Ke ek duje ke dil me rehte hain hum, rehte hain hum
(we say that we live in each others heart)
Nahin aur koyi thikaana humaara
(there is no other place for us to live)
Salaamat rahe dostaana humaara
(Our friendship are safe)

Both:
Bane chaahe dushman zamaana humaara
Salaamat rahe dostaana humaara

Kishore:
Salaamat rahe dostaana humaara

Both:
Bane chaahe dushman zamaana humaara
(Let the whole world be our enemy)
Salaamat rahe dostaana humaara
(Our friendship are safe)

yaad naa jaaye, beete dinon kee
Memories won't leave me, memories of days past
jaa ke naa aaye jo din
Days gone never to return
dil kyo bulaaye, unhe dil kyo bulaaye?
Why forget them, why will my heart forget them?

yaad naa jaaye, beete dinon kee
Memories won't leave me, memories of days past
jaa ke naa aaye jo din
Days gone never to return
dil kyo bulaaye, unhe dil kyo bulaaye?
Why forget them, why will my heart forget them?

(din jo pakheru hote, pinjare mein main rakh letaa)2
If the days were birds, I would keep them in a cage
(paalataa unako jatan se,)2 motee ke daane detaa
I would tend to them with care/love, feed them pearls
seene se rahataa lagaaye
Keep them close to my breast/heart

yaad naa jaaye, beete dinon kee
Memories won't leave me, memories of days past
jaa ke naa aaye jo din
Days gone never to return
dil kyo bulaaye, unhe dil kyo bulaaye?
Why forget them, why will my heart forget them?

(tasaweer unakee chhupaa ke, rakhadoo jahaa jee chaahe)2
I could hide her picture, keep it anywhere I chose
(man mein basee wo murat)2 lekin mite naa mitaye
But the one ensconced in my heart, will not erase however I try
kahane ko hain wo paraaye
Even though she is supposed to belong to another

yaad naa jaaye, beete dinon kee
Memories won't leave me, memories of days past
jaa ke naa aaye jo din
Days gone never to return
dil kyo bulaaye, unhe dil kyo bulaaye?
Why forget them, why will my heart forget them?

Help the poor, may your world/life be carefree

Happy Birthday to you - 2
Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

Baar baar din ye aaye, baar baar dil ye gaaye
Time and again, let this day return, and let the heart sing this
Tu jiye hazaaron saal, ye meri hai aarzoo
May you live thousands of years, this is my wish

Happy Birthday to you - 2
Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

Beqaraar hoke daaman, thaam lun main kiska - 2
Impulsively, who shall I reach for?
Kya misaal dun main teri, naam lun main kiska
Who can be your equal, who is such a one?
Nahin, nahin, aisa haseen, koyi nahin hai
no, no, so beautiful there is none
Jis pe ye nazar ruk jaaye, be-misaal jo keh laaye
cant take my eyes off, the one who is called matchless
Tu jiye hazaaron saal, ye meri hai aarzoo
May you live thousands of years, this is my wish

Happy Birthday to you - 2
Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

auron ki tarha kuchh main bhi, tohfa leke aata
like others, I too should have brought a gift
Main teri haseen mehfil mein, phool leke aata
in this beautiful assembly, I would have brought flowers
Jinhe kaha usse chaaha, phoolo ki zaroorat
The one spoken to, was loved, needs no flowers*
Jo pahar khud keh laaye, har kali ka dil dhadhkaaye
The one who dug up a mountain, made every flower bud's heart beat
Tu jiye hazaaron saal, ye meri hai aarzoo
May you live thousands of years, this is my wish
Happy Birthday to you - 2
[B]Happy Birthday to you, Sunita, Happy Birthday to you

Year..............1964
Singer............Mohd Rafi

Kar Chale Ham Fida, Jan-o-tan Saathiyon..
We are about to sacrifice our life, our body, friends
Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends/companions,

Saans Tham Thi Gayi, Nabz Jam Thi Gayi,
The breathing had stopped, the pulse was frozen
Phir Bhi Badathe Kadam Ko Na Rukh Ne Diya,
Even then advancing steps were not allowed to halt
Kat Gaye Sar Hamaare, Tho Kuch Gam Nahin,
Our heads fell, but we do not grieve
Sar Himalay Ka Hamne Na Jhuk Ne Diya,
We didn't let Himalay's head bend
Marte Marte Raha Baanq Pan Saathiyon,
Even in death we retained elegance, friends

Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends
Kar Chale Ham Fida, Jan-o-tan Saathiyon..
We are about to sacrifice our life, our body, friends
Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends

Zinda Rehene Ke Mausam, Bahut Hai Magar,
The season of living is a lot to go yet
Jaan Dene Ki Rut Roz Aati Nahin,
Life sacrificing weather doesn't come every day
Husn Aur Ishq Dono Ko Ruswa Kare,
The Beauty and the Love both are dishonored
Woh Jawaani Jo Khoon Mein Naahathi Nahin,
By youth (prime of life) that is not bathed in blood
Aaj Dharti Bani Hai Dulhan Saathiyon,
Today the earth has been decked as a bride, friends (red is the bridal color)

Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends
Kar Chale Ham Fida, Jan-o-tan Saathiyon..
We are about to sacrifice our life, our body, friends
Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends

Raah Qurbaaniyon Ki Na Veeran Ho,
Paths of Sacrifices, let not be deserted
Tum Sajaathe Hi Rehna Naye Kaafile,
You must continue to form traveling parties
Fathe Ka Jashn Is Jashn Ke Baad Hein,
The celebration of victory is after this celebration
Zindagi Maut Se Mil Rahi Hai Gale,
Life is embracing death
Bandlo Apne Sar Se Kafan Saathiyon,
Tie on your heads, your shrouds, friends

Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends
Kar Chale Ham Fida, Jan-o-tan Saathiyon..
We are about to sacrifice our life, our body, friends
Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends

Khench Do Apne Khoon Se Zameen Par Lakeer,
Describe a line on earth with your blood
Is Tarah Aane Ne Paaye Na Raawan Koyi,
So that no Raawan may cross over this side
Thod Do Haath Agar Haath Utne Lage,
Break the hands if they begin to reach
Chune Paaye Na Sita Ka Daaman Koyi,
Let no one touch Sita's hem
Ram Bhi Tum, tumhi Lakshman Saathiyon,
Ram is you, and youu are Lakshman, friends

Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends
Kar Chale Ham Fida, Jan-o-tan Saathiyon,
We are about to sacrifice our life, our body, friends
Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends
Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends
Ab Tumhare Hawale, Watan Saathiyon..
We give in your care now, our motherland, friends

Singer(s) :Mohd Rafi
Lyricist: :Anand Bakshi
Musician(s): :Laxmikant Pyarelal


(Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne)2
You awoke the pain in my heart
(Pehle To Maein Shaayar Tha)2 Aashiq Banaya Aapne
Before I was a poet, now you've made me into a lover

(Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne)2
You awoke the pain in my heart

(Aapki Madhosh Nazrein Kar Rahi Hain Shaayari)2
Your intoxicating glances are making poetry
Yeh Ghazal Meri Nahin Yeh Ghazal Hai Aapki
This poem isn't mine; this poem is yours
Maine To Bas Woh Likha, Jo Kuchh Likhaaya Aapne
I simply wrote that which you caused me to write.

(Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne)2
You awoke the pain in my heart

Kab Kahan Sab Kho Gayi Jitni Bhi Thi Parchhaiyaan
For all the shadows here, when and where was everything lost?
Uth Gayi Yaaron Ki Mehfil Ho Gayi Tanhaiyaan
The company of friends rose to leave; loneliness moved in.
Kab Kahan Sab Kho Gayi Jitni Bhi Thi Parchhaiyaan
For all the shadows here, when and where was everything lost?
Uth Gayi Yaaron Ki Mehfil Ho Gayi Tanhaiyaan
The company of friends rose to leave; loneliness moved in.
Kya Hua Shayad Koi Parda Giraaya Aapne
What happened? Perhaps you dropped some curtain

(Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne)2
You awoke the pain in my heart

(Aur Thodi Der Mein Bas Hum Judaa Ho Jayenge)2
And in a little while we'll be separated
Aapko Dhoondunga Kaise Raaste Kho Jayenge
How will I search for you? I'll lose the road.
Naam Tak Bhi To Nahin Apna Bataaya Aapne
You haven't even told me your name

Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne
You awoke the pain in my heart
(Pehle To Maein Shaayar Tha)2 Aashiq Banaya Aapne
Before I was a poet, now you've made me into a lover
Dard-E-Dil Dard-E-Jigar Dil Mein Jagaya Aapne
You awoke the pain in my heart

Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbt ki kasam(repeat)
My beloved, I beseech you in the name of my love for you
Phir mujhe nargisi ankhon ka sahara dede
Once again, give me the support of these Iris like eyes
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Ae mere khwab ki taabir meri jaan-e-ghazal
You who are the realization of my dreams, the soul of my poetry
Zindagi meri tujhe yaad kiye jaati hai
My existence (life) keeps remembering you
Raat din mujhko satata hai tasavur tera
Day and night I am tormented by the thought of you
Dil ki dhadkan tujhe awaaz diye jaati hai
My heartbeat keeps calling out to you
Aa mujhe apni sadaon ka sahara dede
Come strengthen me with your voice calling out to me
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazzara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Bhool sakti nahin ankhen woh suhana manzar
My eyes can not forget that lovely sight
Jab tera husn mere ishq se takraya tha
When your loveliness met with my adoration
Aur phir raha mein bikhre the hazaron naghme
Around us swelled thousands of melodies
Meri woh naghme teri awaaz ko de aaya tha
I had bestowed those melodies of mine to your voice
Saz-e-dil ko unhi geeton ka sahara dede
Play those songs on the lyre of my heart
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..

Yaad hai mujhko meri umr ki pehli woh gadi
[B]I remember the very first moment of my life
Teri ankhon se koi jaam piya tha maine
When I drank deep of thine eyes
Mere rug rug mein koi barqse lehrai thi
Lightening struck through every part of my being
Jab tere marmari haathon ko chua tha maine
When I hesitantly touched your fair hands
Aa mujhe phir unhi haathon ka sahara dede
Give me once again the support of those fair hands
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..


Maine ik baar teri ek jhalak dekhi hai
Once I saw you for a brief moment
Meri hasrat hai ke mein phir tera deedar karoon
I long to see you once again in front of my eyes
Tere saaye ko samajh kar mein haseen Taj Mahal
Your shadow I will treat as the Beautiful Taj
Chandni raat me nazaronse tujhe pyar karoon
And in moonlit night I will love you with my eyes
Apni mehki hui zulfon ka sahara dede
Give me the gift of your fragrant tresses
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..


Dhoond tha hoon tujhe har raah mei har mehfil mein
I seek you in every path, in every gathering
Thak gaye hai meri majboor tamanna ki kadam
Weary now is my helpless unfulfilled desire
Aaj ka din meri umeed ki hai aakhri din
Today is the last day of my hopes
Kal na jaane mei kahan aur kahan tu hai sanam
Tomorrow who knows where I will be and where you, my love
Do ghadi apni nigahon ka sahara dede
For a brief moment support me with your gaze
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..


Saamne aa ke zara parda utha de rukh se
Appear in front of me and unveil yourself
Ik yahi mera ilaaj-e-ghum-e-tanhai hai
Only this way can I be rid of this loneliness
Teri furqat ne pareshaan kiya hai mujhko
Your separation torments me constantly
Ab to milja ke meri jaan pe ban aayi hai
Oh come to me for this is now my life and death issue
Dil ko bhooli hui yaadon ka sahara dede
Shore up my heart with the forgotten memories
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe
My beloved ..


Mere mehboob tujhe meri mohabbt ki kasam(repeat)
My beloved, I beseech you in the name of my love for you
Phir mujhe nargisi ankhon ka sahara dede
Once again, give me the support of these Iris like eyes
Mera khoya hua rangeen nazara dede
Bring back to me the beautiful outlook that was lost
Mere mehboob tujhe

Year :1966

Lyrics :Anand Bakshi
Director :Laxmikant Pyarelal

mere dil se sitamgar tune achhi dillagi ki hai
My heart, O cruel one, you toyed with so casually
ke banke dost apane doston se dushamani ki hai
under the guise of friendship you were an enemy to your friends

(mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse)2
you who are my enemy, may you long for my friendship
mujhe gam denewale tu khushi ko tarse
you who gave me grief, may you long for happiness
mere dushman
My enemy

tu phool bane patjarh ka tujhape bahaar na aaye kabhi
May you be a bloom in autumn, may the spring never touch you
meri hi tarah tu tadape tujhako karaar na aaye kabhi
May you be in agony like me, may you never know peace
tujhako karaar na aaye kabhi
may you never know peace
jeiye tu iss tarah keh zindagi ko tarse
May you live in such a manner that you long for life
mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse
My enemy, may you long for my friendship
mere dushman
My enemy

itna toh asar kar jaayen meri wafaaye o bewafa
Let there this much effect of my fidelity, O fickle one
ek roz tujhe yaad aaye apani jafaye o bewafa
One day you may remember your cruelties, O fickle one
apani jafaye o bewafa
your cruelties, O fickle one
pashemaan ho ke roye tu hasi ko tarse
May you cry tears of regret, may you long for laughter
mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse
My enemy, may you long for my friendship
mere dushman
My enemy

tere gulshan se zyada viraan koi viraana na ho
May there be no desert more barren than your orchard
iss duniya mein koi tera apan toh kya begana na ho
Let alone friends, in this world, may you not even know strangers
apan toh kya begana na ho
not friends, not even strangers
kisi ka pyar kya tu berukhi ko tarse
What of some one's love, may you long for their rejection
mere dushman tu meri dosti ko tarse
My enemy, may you long for my friendship
mere dushman
My enemy

Revised:
koyee saagar dil ko bahalaataa naheen
[none of the seas entertain my heart]
bekhudee mein bhee qaraar aataa naheen
[during unconsciousness also i dont feel conscious]


There are two similar sounding words which are very distinct from each other. One is SAGAR meaning the sea, or a large water body and the other is SAGHAR which is a glass brimming with the right stuff. So here it would be right to change it thus:

koyee saagar dil ko bahalaataa naheen
[none of the wines appeal to me]
bekhudee mein bhee qaraar aataa naheen
[Even drunk I feel no relief from pain]
Accepted: Based on the fact of seeing the movie and I think this
is what the actor wanted to convey:

Saeed/CV/Oldie Fan/ Coming together to get this correct means a lot
to all Rafi Fans:

Some day we might even have another version of the two lines:

What a beautiful song. Lyrics, rhythem, rhyme. One verse leads to the next seamlessly. Wonderful choice

yohe tum mujh se baat karte ho

(yohe tum mujh se baat karte ho,)2 ya koee pyaar kaa iraada hai
Do you just talk to me or do you intend to love me?
(adaye dil kee jaanataa hee nahee)2 mera humadam bhee kitana saadaa hai
You doesn't understand the language of love my lover it so simple
yohe tum mujh se baat karte ho,
do you just talk to me?

(roz atee ho tum khayalon me)2 zindage mein bhee meree aa jaao
you enter in my thoughts everyday, do enter in my life too
beet jaaye naa ye sawaalon me, is jawaanee pe kuchh taras khao
I hope it does not pass away please have some sympathy towards me
(hal-e-dil samjho sanam)2 kahenge munh se naa hum
try and understand the feelings of my heart, I may not express them
humaaree bhee koee mayraadaa hai
I too have some self respect

adaye dil kee jaanataa hee nahee)2 mera humadam bhee kitana saadaa hai
You doesn't understand the language of love my lover it so simple
yohe tum mujh se baat karte ho,
do you talk to me like this, why?

(bhole pan mein hain wafa kee khushboo)2 tujh pe sab kuch na kyo lotaoo mai
innocently I sense the aroma of love, why shoudn't I give it all for your sake?
meraa betaab dil ye kahtaa hai, tere saaye se lipat jaoo mai
my impatient heart says, that I should hug your shadow tightly
(mujh se mel teraa)2 naa ho yek khel teraa
meeting me like this, is this a game you play?
ye karam mujh pe kuch zyadaa hai
fro this partiality to me seems a bit too much

yohe tum mujh se baat karte ho,ya koee pyaar kaa iraada hai
Do you just talk to me or do you intend to love me?
adaye dil kee jaanataa hee nahee, mera humadam bhee kitana saadaa hai
You doesn't understand the language of love my lover it so simple

(ban gayee ho meree sadaa ke liye)2 yaa mujhe yoo hee tum banaatee ho
you have become mine forever, or do you make me feel this way
kahee baahon mein naa bhar loo tum ko, kyo mere hausale badhatee ho
I hope I don't take you in my arms, why the encouragement?
(hausale aaur karo)2 paas aate naa daro
encourage me more, dont fear coming close to me
dil naa todenge apanaa waadaa hai
I shall not break ur heart, I promise

yohe tum mujh se baat karte ho,ya koee pyaar kaa iraada hai
Why you talk to me like this, or are you in love with me?
adaye dil kee jaanataa hee nahee, mera humadam bhee kitana saadaa hai
I dont know the actions of my heart my dear even if it is so simple
yohe tum mujh se baat karte ho,
why you talk to me like this

Lata
rang rang ke phool khile hain
Flowers in a riot of colors
mohe bhaaye koyi rang naa
But none appeals to me
ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover
(aan milo aan milo sajana)
Come back to me now, my lover

Rafi
(deepak sang patangaa naache)2
The flying insect dances around the lamp
koyi mere sang na
no one with me
ab aan milo sajanaa
aan molo aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover

Lata
sajanaa sajanaa sajanaa sajanaa
my lover, lover, lover, my lover
ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover

dhoondthe tohe taaro ke chhanv mein
Searching for you under canopy of stars
kitane kaante chubhe mere paavn mein
See how many thorns in my feet
toone soorat dikhaayee na zaalimaa
you didn't make an appearance, cruel one[/B]
paradesee huaa rah ke gaavn mein
You became a stranger, living in our village

Rafi
oy shaabaa shaabaa
hey come one come on[/B]

Lata
preet meet bin soonaa soonaa
without love without lover, so alone, so sad...
laage moraa aanganaa
seems my aanganaa (inner courtyard)
oh ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover

Rafi
aayee baagon mein phoolon ki savariyan
In the garden have appeared waves of flowers
mele ki ho gayi sab taiyyaariyaan
all preparations for the fair are made
tera mera milan kab hoga
when will we two come together
mili preetam se sab panahaariyan
All the water carrying girls met their beloved
oy shaabaa shaabaa
hey come on, come on
dhoor dhoor rah ke jeene se
living far far away, in separation
main aa jaaun tang naa
lest I become tired of living
oh ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover
aan milo aan milo sajanaa

Rafi
kaise poochhun main prem ki paheliyan
How to ask playful lovers' questions
sang hoti hain teri saheliyan
you are surrounded by your girlfriends

Lata
ve channaa kis dam kiya ye saheliyan
my moon, when will they go, your girlfriends
meriyaa raataa ne giniyaa akeliyan
my nights are so barren, alone
oh shaabaa shaabaa
hey come on, come on
raat raat bhar neend na aaye
all night, can't sleep all night
khan khan khanake kangnaa
khan, khan, your kangna makes this noise
oh ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover

rang rang ke phool khile hain
Flowers in a riot of colors
mohe bhaaye koyi rang naa
But none appeals to me
ab aan milo sajanaa
Come back to me now, my lover
(aan milo aan milo sajana)
Come back to me now, my lover

You wont be far from my heart, my love

Roke Zamaana Chaahe Roke Khudaai
(Even if the world or the Lord stops you)
Tumko Aana Padega
(you have to come)

Tarasti Nigaahon Ne Aawaz Di Hai

Mohabbat Ki Aahon Ne Awaaz Di Hai
(the desperate sighs of love are calling out to you)
Jaane Hayaa Jaane Ada Chodo Tarsaana
(Lady of modesty and grace, stop tormenting me)
Tumko Aana Padega
(You have to come)

Ye Maana Hamein Jaan Se Jaana Padega
(I agree that I have todie one day)
Par Ye Samajh Lo Tumne Jab Bhi Pukaara
(But understand this that whenever you give a call)
Humko Aana Padega...
(I will have to come)

Hum Apni Wafaa Pe Na Ilzaam Lenge
(Consistency in my love for you will never be in doubt)
Tumhe Dil Diya Hai Tumhe Jaan Bhi Denge
(I have given you my heart, will also give you my life)
Jab Ishq Ka Sauda Kiya, Phir Kya Ghabraana
(When loove is exchanged for love there is no hesitation)
Humko aana padega
(I have to come)

Chamakte Hain Jab Tak Yeh Chaand Aur Taare
(Until the time the stars and moon do shine)
Na Tootenge Ab Keh Do Paimaan Hamaare
(Our promises and vows will never break, say it)
Ek Doosra Jab De Sadaa Hoke Dewaana
(When one callsthe other in all eagerness )
Humko Aana Padega

O raat ke musaafir, chandaa zaraa bataa de

what is my crime, let your verdict be known
O raat ke musaafir, chandaa zaraa bataa de
O traveller of the night, moon, just tell me this

If the heart makes a mistake, how is it the fault of the eyes
kuchh bhee naheen to mujh se, fir kyo koee khafaa hain
if it is not so why then is he estranged from me

dil pe kisee ko apane kaaboo naheen rahaa hain
someone has lost control over their heart
ye raaj mere dil se, aankhon ne hee kahaa hai
this secret is revealed by my eyes to my heart
dil pe kisee ko apane kaaboo naheen rahaa hain
someone has lost control over their heart
ye raaj mere dil se, (aankhon ne hee kahaa hai)2
this secret is revealed by my eyes to my heart
aankhon ne jo hain dekhaa, dil kis tarah bhoolaa de
What the eyes have seen, how can the heart forget
meraa kasoor kyaa hain, too faisalaa sunaa de
what is my crime, let your verdict be known

Rafi:
o chaand aasamaan ke, damabhar jameen pe aa jaa
O moon, dweller of the skies, come down to earth for a moment

lost is the wayfarer, guide him to his destination

wandering is the boat, bring it to the shore
