34. Translation of Rafi song: Falsafa Pyaar Ka Tum Kya Jaano...


From: DUNIYA (1968)
Music: Shankar-Jaikishen
Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri.

Rafi Sahaab singing the Love Philosophy (Falsafa Pyaar Ka) in a charming, soothing, enthralling Voice that only he commands.

Transliteration/Translation of the original lyrics:




Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Tum ne kabhi pyaar na kiyaa,
YOU NEVER LOVED

Tum ne intezaar na kiyaa
YOU NEVER STUCK AROUND....


Khoobsoorat ho magar pyaar ke andaaz nahin
BEAUTIFUL YOU’RE, BUT DON’T HAVE LOVE’S ELEGANCE,

Yeh kami hai ke tumhaara koi hamraaz nahin
WHAT’S LACKING IS THAT YOU DON’T HAVE ANY CONFIDANT,

Dil mein jab dard nahin baat banegi kaise
WHEN THE HEART IS DEVOID OF PAIN, HOW CAN SUCCESS BE GAINED?

Saaz chhe.ra bhi magar pyaar ki awaaz nahin.
DESPITE STRIKING THE CHORDS THERE IS NO NOTE OF LOVE.

Falsafaa...
PHILOSOPHY..

Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Tum ne kabhi pyaar na kiyaa,
YOU NEVER LOVED

Tum ne intezaar na kiyaa
YOU NEVER STUCK AROUND....


Kaise samjhaaoon yeh naazuk sa fasaana tum ko?
HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS SUBTLE-LIKE NUANCE?

Yeh woh manzar hai jo mehsoos hua karta hai
THIS SCENE IS SUCH THAT CAN ONLY BE FELT,

Rehti duniya mein wohi rehta hai mar kar zinda
IN THE ABIDING WORLD DESPITE DEATH LIVES HE

Pyaar ke naam pe jo jaan diya karta hai.
WHO IN THE NAME OF LOVE GIVES UP HIS LIFE.

Falsafaa…
PHILOSOPHY….

Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Tum ne kabhi pyaar na kiyaa,
YOU NEVER LOVED

Tum ne intezaar na kiyaa
YOU NEVER STUCK AROUND....


Pyaar Sheeri.n ne kiyaa pyaar hi Laila ne kiyaa
SHIRIN LOVED, SO DID LAILA LOVE,

Pyaar Meera ne kiyaa pyaar hi Radha ne Kiyaa
MEERA LOVED, SO DID RADHA LOVE,

Pyaar har rang mein logo.n ko sada detaa hai
LOVE CALLS OUT TO PEOPLE IN ALL HUES

Pyaar ke parde mein hum sub ka Khuda rehta hai
IN THE VEIL OF LOVE RESIDES OUR GOD.

Falsafaa…
PHILOSOPHY….

Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Falsafaa pyaar ka tum kyaa jaano,
WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF LOVE?

Tum ne kabhi pyaar na kiyaa,
YOU NEVER LOVED

Tum ne intezaar na kiyaa
YOU NEVER STUCK AROUND....

Tum ne kabhi pyaar na kiyaa,
YOU NEVER LOVED

Tum ne intezaar na kiyaa
YOU NEVER STUCK AROUND....

NASIR.
