649. Philosophical Song of Rafi: Sab din hoth naa ek samaan....

Movie: SENAPATI (1961)

Lyrics: Rajinder Krishan
Music: Madan Mohan


Philosophical/Didactic Song of Rafi: Sab din hoth naa ek samaan…
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi Lyrics:



sab din hoth naa ek samaan,
ALL DAYS DON’T HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME,


sab din hoth naa ek samaan,
ALL DAYS DON’T HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME,


dukh me.n bhee naa, chho.D magar tuu, hoTo.n kee muskaan,
EVEN IN GRIEF DON’T LET GO OF THE SMILE ON THE LIPS,


sab din hoth naa ek samaan…
ALL DAYS DON’T HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME…


bin soche samjhe kyoo.n nikle, mukh se koee bol,
WHY SHOULD ANY WORD COME OUT OF THE MOUTH WITHOUT DELIBERATION!

bin  samjhe kyoo.n nikle, mukh se koee bol,
WHY SHOULD ANY WORD COME OUT OF THE MOUTH WITHOUT DELIBERATION!

bol ba.Daa anmol hai praanee, pehle usko tol,
VERY PRECIOUS IS THE WORD, O HUMAN BEING, WEIGH  IT FIRST!


diyaa huwaa kabhee vachan naa jaaye, beshaq jaaye praan,
THE GIVEN PROMISE MUST NEVER LAPSE; THE LIFE MAY INDUBITABLY  LAPSE!


sab din naa hoth ek samaan…
ALL DAYS DON’T HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME…


raaj paaT se, ba.Dh ke hai yeh, maanavtaa kaa tej,
MORE EXCELLENT THAN KINGDOM IS THIS REFULGENCE OF HUMANITY!


raaj paaT se, ba.Dh ke hai yeh, maanavtaa kaa tej,
MORE EXCELLENT THAN KINGDOM IS THIS REFULGENCE OF HUMANITY!


hai phoolo.n ke taaj se achchee, yeh kaa.nTo.n kee sej,
BETTER THAN THE CROWN OF FLOWERS IS THIS BED OF THORNS,


kaun yeh jaane, isee raah me.n, mil jaaye bhagwaan,
WHO KNOWS ON THIS VERY PATH YOU MAY FIND GOD!


sab din hoth naa ek samaan,
ALL DAYS DON’T HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME,


dukh me.n bhee naa, chho.D magar tuu, hoTo.n kee muskaan,
EVEN IN GRIEF DON’T LET GO OF THE SMILE ON THE LIPS,


sab din hoth naa ek samaan…
ALL DAYS DON’T HAPPEN TO BE THE SAME…


NASIR.

For every day that there is sunshine, there will be days of rain,
it's how we dance within them both that shows our love and pain.

  1. How true. No matter how mundane life must be, all days don't happen to be the same. Like your quote, it's how one chooses to dance within the day. The choice is there.

  2. Truly stated Veen!
    What happens Veen is that sometimes despite knowing the philosophical aspects of life, we just tend to flounder when faced with a situation. At that time we need to look about some piece of advice whether from friends, or books or songs such as the above one.
