Philosophical/Didactic Song of Rafi: Aaj iss darja pilaa doh...

Roman Transliteration/
English Translation of the original lyrics:


Aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT TODAY


ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING,


aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT TODAY


ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING...


be-Khudee itnee ba.Dhaa doh,
INCREASE THE RAPTURE TO SUCH AN EXTENT


ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING,


aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT TODAY


ke na kuchh yaad rahe...
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING...


dosti  kyaa hai, wafaa kyaa hai, mohabbat kyaa hai,
WHAT’S FRIENDSHIP, WHAT’S CONSTANCY, WHAT’S LOVE,


dil ka kyaa mol hai, ehsaas kee qeemat kyaa hai,
WHAT’S THE HEART'S WORTH, WHAT PRICE SENSIBILITY! 


hamne sab jaan liyaa hai, ke haqeeqat kyaa hai,
I'VE REALIZED ALL THAT THE TRUTH  IS,


aaj bas itnee, dua doh,
JUST BLESS ME TO SUCH AN EXTENT TODAY


ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING!


aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT TODAY


ke na kuchh yaad rahe…
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING...


muflisee dekhee, ameeree kee adaa dekh chuke,
INDIGENCE I'VE SEEN; THE CHARMS OF OPULENCE I’VE SEEN,


gham kaa maahaul,  mussarrat kee fizaa dekh chuke,
THE SORROW’S ENVIRONMENT, THE AMBIENCE OF JOLLITY I’VE SEEN,


kaise phirtee hai zamaane, kee hawaa dekh chuke,
HOW THE WORLD CHANGES ITS ATTITUDE, I’VE SEEN,


shammaa yaado.n kee, bujhaa doh,
EXTINGUISH THE LAMP OF THE MEMORIES


ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING!


aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT TODAY


ke na kuchh yaad rahe…
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING...


ishq be-chayn Khayaalo.n, ke siwaa kuchh bhee nahee.n,
PASSIONATE LOVE IS NOTHING BUT RESTLESS THOUGHTS,


husn be-rooh, ujaalo.n ke siwaa kuchh bhee nahee.n,
BEAUTY IS NOTHING BUT A SOULLESS GLITTER,


zindagee cha.nd sawaalo.n, ke siwaa kuchh bhee nahee.n,
LIFE IS NOTHING BEYOND A FEW QUESTIONS, 


har sawaal aise, miTaa doh,
ERASE EVERY QUESTION IN SUCH A MANNER


ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING!


aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT


ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER ANYTHING...


Mit na paayegaa, jahaa.n se kabhee nafrat ka rivaaj,
PREVALENCE OF HATRED WILL NE'ER BE EEFACED  FROM THE EARTH,


Ho na paayegaa, kabhee rooh ke, zaKhmo.n kaa ilaaj,
NOR WILL THE TREATMENT FOR SOUL’S WOUNDS BE EVER ACCOMPLISHED,


saltanat zulm Khuda vahm, museebat hai samaaj,
SULTANATE IS TYRANNY, GOD IS IMAGINATION, SOCIETY, AN AFFLICTION,


saltanat zulm Khuda vahm, museebat hai samaaj,
SULTANATE IS TYRANNY, GOD IS IMAGINATION, SOCIETY, AN AFFLICTION,


zehan ko aise, sulaa doh,
PUT THE MIND TO SLEEP THUS 


ke na kuchh yaad rahe...
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING!


aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT

ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING,

be-Khudee itnee ba.Dhaa doh,
INCREASE THE RAPTURE TO SUCH AN EXTENT

ke na kuchh yaad rahe,
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING,

aaj iss darjaa pilaa doh,
GET ME DRUNK TO SUCH AN EXTENT

ke na kuchh yaad rahe.
THAT I MAY NOT REMEMBER A THING!
