English transliteration/translation of the original lyrics:


Ay Phoolon Ki Rani,
O FLOWER QUEEN,

Bahaaron Ki Malika,
QUEEN BLOSSOM,

Tera Muskuraana Ghazab Ho gaya,
YOUR SMILE – HOW DAZZLING!

Na Dil Hosh Mein Hai,
NEITHER THE HEART IS IN SENSES

Na Hamm Hosh Mein Hai,
NOR AM I IN MY SENSES,

Nazar Kaa Milana - Ghazab Ho Gaya..
EXCHANGE OF GLANCES – GOODNESS GRACIOUS!


Terey Hont Kya Hai, Gulaabi Ka.nwal Hai,
WHAT LIPS YOU HAVE! PINKISH PETALS

Yeh Do Patiyaa.n, Pyar Ki Ik Ghazal Hai.n,
THESE TWO FOLDS ARE AN ODE TO LOVE

Woh Nazuk Labon Se, Mohobbat Ki Baaten,
FROM THOSE DELICATE LIPS – PARLEYS OF LOVE

Hami Ko Sunana, Ghazab Ho gaya,
MAKING ME HEAR - GOODNESS GRACIOUS!


Ay Phoolon Ki Rani,

Kabhi Ghul Ke Milna,
OFTEN HOBNOBBING,

Kabhi Khud Jhijhakna,
SOMETIMES DILLYDALLYING

Kabhi Raaston Par, Behekna-Machalna,
ON THE PATHS, SOMETIMES STRAYING AND SULKING,

Yeh Palkon Ki Chilman,
THIS SCREEN OF THE EYELASHES,

Uthaakar Giraana,
RAISING AND LOWERING,

Giraakar Uthaana, Ghazab Ho Gaya,
LOWERING AND RAISING - GOODNESS GRACIOUS!

Ay Phoolon Ki Rani,
O FLOWER QUEEN,

Bahaaron Ki Malika,
QUEEN BLOSSOM,

Tera Muskuraana Ghazab Ho gaya,
YOUR SMILE – HOW DAZZLING!


Na Dil Hosh Mein Hai,
NEITHER THE HEART IS IN SENSES

Na Hamm Hosh Mein Hai,
NOR AM I IN MY SENSES,

Nazar Kaa Milana Ghazab Ho Gaya..
EXCHANGE OF GLANCES – GOODNESS GRACIOUS!


Fizaao.n mei.n Thandak
COOLNESS OF AMBIENCE,

Ghataa bhar Jawaani
CLOUD FULL OF YOUTH,

Teri Gesuo.n ki Ba.di Meherbaani
MANY THANKS TO YOUR TRESSES!

Har ek Pench me.n Saink.Ro.n Maekade.n Hai.n
IN EACH CURL HUNDREDS OF TAVERNS THERE ARE!

Tera La.Rkha.Raana - Ghazab Ho Gayaa.
YOUR STAGGERING GAIT – GOODNESS GRACIOUS!


Ay Phoolon Ki Rani,
O FLOWER QUEEN,

Bahaaron Ki Malika,
QUEEN BLOSSOM,

Tera Muskuraana Ghazab Ho gaya,
YOUR SMILE – HOW DAZZLING!

Na Dil Hosh Mein Hai,
NEITHER THE HEART IS IN SENSES

Na Hamm Hosh Mein Hai,
NOR AM I IN MY SENSES,

Nazar Kaa Milana Ghazab Ho Gaya..
EXCHANGE OF GLANCES – GOODNESS GRACIOUS!

From: Sanghursh (1969)
Music: Naushad
Lyricist: Shakeel Badayuni.


Romance in the air with Rafi singing Jab Dil Se Dil Takraata Hai....

Transliteration/Translation of the original lyrics:



AAAAAA..... AAAAAA..AAA..

Jab Dil se Dil, Takraata hai,
WHEN THE HEART RUNS INTO ANOTHER...

Jab Dil se Dil, Takraata hai,
WHEN THE HEART RUNS INTO ANOTHER...

Mat poochiye, Kya ho jata hai,
ASK NOT WHAT TRANSPIRES,

Jhukti hai nazar,
BASHFUL BECOMES THE GLANCE

Rukti hai zubaan,
SPEECH BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE,

Maathe pe, paseena ata hai,
SUDOR SPANGLES THE FOREHEAD.

Jab Dil se Dil, Takraata hai,
WHEN THE HEART RUNS INTO ANOTHER...


Dekha tha tujhe ik baar kahin,
HAD SEEN YOU ONCE SOMEWHERE,

Uss din se abhi tak, hosh, nahin
HAVE NOT COME BACK TO THE SENSES EVERSINCE,

Uss din se abhi tak, hosh, nahin
HAVE NOT COME BACK TO THE SENSES EVERSINCE,

Phir ishq ne, karwat badli hai,
LOVE HAS AGAIN TAKEN A TURN,

Phir Saamne tu hai, Mahjabeen,
ONCE MORE YOU’RE BEFORE ME BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

Ab dekhiye kya kya rang naye,
NOW LET’S SEE WHAT ALL NEW HUES

Deedaar tera, dikhlaata hai.
YOUR SIGHT WILL DISCLOSE.

Jab Dil se Dil, Takraata hai,
WHEN THE HEART RUNS INTO ANOTHER...

Mat poochiye, Kya ho jata hai,
ASK NOT WHAT TRANSPIRES....


Yeh Husn sharaabi Mehka Badan,
THIS INTOXICATING BEAUTY, FRAGRANT BODY,

Aur uspe tera yeh bholapan,
AND TO TOP IT, YOUR INNOCENCE,

Teri bhi ummeedein jaagi hain,
YOUR HOPES TOO HAVE BEEN RAISED

Kehti hai tere Dil ki dhadkan,
SAYS YOUR HEARTBEAT,

Betaab hai Tu bhi mere liye,
RESTLESS YOU'RE TOO FOR ME,

Andaaz tera, batlaata hai.
REVEALS YOUR BODY LANGUAGE.

Jab Dil se Dil, Takraata hai,
WHEN THE HEART RUNS INTO ANOTHER...

Mat poochiye, Kya ho jata hai,
ASK NOT WHAT TRANSPIRES...


Mukh.daa naa chhupa yoon haathon se,
HIDE NOT YOUR FACE WITH YOUR HANDS

Din ko na badal, ab raato.n, se
CHANGE NOT THE DAY INTO NIGHTS NOW,

Din ko na badal, ab raaton se,
CHANGE NOT THE DAY INTO NIGHTS NOW,

Gulshan mein, bikharne de naghme,
IN THE ROSE-GARDEN LET THE MELODIES SPREAD

Tu pyaar ki Meethi Baaton se,
WITH THE SWEET WORDS OF LOVE FROM YOU,

Ay Husn ki devi Aankh mila,
O GODDESS OF BEAUTY LOOK INTO MY EYES,

Apnon se koi, Sharmaata hai.
NO NEED TO BE BASHFUL WITH LOVED ONES!

Jab Dil se Dil, Takraata hai,
WHEN THE HEART RUNS INTO ANOTHER...

Mat poochiye, Kya ho jata hai,
ASK NOT WHAT TRANSPIRES,

Jhukti hai nazar,
BASHFUL BECOMES THE GLANCE

Rukti hai zubaan,
SPEECH BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE,

Maathe pe, paseena ata hai,
SUDOR SPANGLES THE FOREHEAD.

Jab Dil se Dil, Takraata hai,
WHEN THE HEART RUNS INTO ANOTHER...

Lyrics: Raja Mehendi Ali Khan.

Rafi's Romantic Song: ek haseen shaam ko...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original filmy lyrics: 

Hmmm hmmmm, hmmm, hmmm...

Ek haseen shaam ko, 

ONE LOVELY EVENING 

Dil mera kho gaya, 

I LOST MY HEART, 

Ek haseen shaam ko, 

ONE LOVELY EVENING 

Dil mera kho gaya, 

I LOST MY HEART, 

Pehle Apna, Hua kar-ta thaa, 

FIRST IT USED TO BE MINE,

Ab Kisi ka ho Gaya, 

NOW IT BELONGS TO ANOTHER,

Ek haseen shaam ko, 

ONE LOVELY EVENING 

Dil mera kho gaya... 

I LOST MY HEART.... 

Mud-dato.N se, Aarzu thi, 

FOR AGES I HAD THE DESIRE

Zindagi mei.n, Koi Aaye, 

FOR SOMEONE TO COME INTO MY LIFE, 

Sooni Sooni, Zindagii mein, 

IN THE STILL, LONESOME, LIFE 

Koi Shamma Jhilmilaaye, 

TO  SPARKLE SOME LIGHT, 

Woh jo aaye toh Raushan, Zamaana ho Gaya, 

AS SHE ARRIVED, THE WORLD BRIGHTENED UP! 

Ek haseen shaam ko, 

ONE LOVELY EVENING 

Dil mera kho gaya... 

I LOST MY HEART.... 

Mere dil ke, kaaravaa.N ko, 

MY HEART'S CARAVAN

le chalaa hai aaj koi, 

IS LED BY SOMEONE TODAY, 

Shabnami si, Jis ki Aankhen, 

THE DEW-LIKE EYES OF WHOM 

Thodi Jaagi Thodi Soyi, 

ARE PARTLY AWAKE, PARTLY SLEEPY, 

Un ko dekhaa toh Mausam, Suhaanaa ho Gaya,

AS I SAW HER, THE WEATHER BECAME PLEASANT! 

Ek haseen shaam ko, 

ONE LOVELY EVENING 

Dil mera kho gaya, 

I LOST MY HEART, 

Pehle Apna, Hua kar-ta thaa, 

FIRST IT USED TO BE MINE,

Ab Kisi ka ho Gaya, 

NOW IT BELONGS TO ANOTHER.

Ek haseen shaam ko, 

ONE LOVELY EVENING 

Dil mera kho gaya. 

I LOST MY HEART.

This is an evening of wonders, indeed!

Yeh Jhuke.n Shaam Dhaley,
THEY LOOK DOWN – THE EVEN DECLINES,

Mera Jeena, Mera Marna, Inhi Palko.n ke Taley
MY LIVING, MY DYING, ARE BENEATH THESE EYE-LASHES.

Teri Aankhon ke siwa duniya mei.n rakha kya hai
BESIDES YOUR EYES, WHAT ELSE IS LEFT IN THE WORLD


In mein Merey Aaney Waaley Zamaaney ki Tasveeri Hai
IN THEM IS THE PICTURE OF MY TIME THAT'S TO COME,

Chaahat ke Kaajal Sey Likhee Hui Meri Taqdeer Hai
WRITTEN WITH THE KOHL OF DESIRE IS MY DESTINY.

EVEN AS I SAW YOU MY HEART BEGAN TELLING ME THIS:

Meri, Aawaara Tabiyat Ko,

LIKE ME THERE IS NONE

Is Ambar ke Neeche –

Deewaana Mujhe Sa Nahin

Is Ambar ke Neeche

Aage Hai Qaatil Mera
AHEAD IS MY KILLER

Aur Main Peechhe Peechhe

Deewaana Mujhe Sa Nahin
INSANE LIKE ME THERE IS NONE

Is Ambar ke Neeche
UNDER THIS SKY

Aage Hai Qaatil Mera
AHEAD IS MY KILLER

HAVING FOUND THE FOE

Jab Se Pyaar Ke Qaabil....
WORTHY OF LOVE SINCE,

Paaya Hai Dushman Ko
HAVING FOUND THE FOE

Jab Se Pyaar Ke Qaabil....
WORTHY OF LOVE SINCE,

Tabb Se Yeh Aalam Hai
SUCH IS THE CONDITION THENCE:

Rasta Yaad Naa Manzil
I REMEMBER NEITHER PATH NOR DESTINATION,

Neend Mein Jaise Chalta Hai Koi
JUST AS SOMEONE WALKS IN SLEEP

Chalna, Yoonhi, Aankhen Meeche.
WALKING WITH THE EYES SHUT.

Deewaana Mujhe Sa Nahin
INSANE LIKE ME THERE IS NONE

Is Ambar ke Neeche
UNDER THIS SKY

Aage Hai Qaatil Mera
AHEAD IS MY KILLER

Aur Main Peechhe Peechhe
WITH ME TAGGING BEHIND.


Hamne Bhi Rakh Dee Hain
WE TOO HAVE DEFERRED

Kal Pe Kal ki Baaten.....
TO THE FUTURE THAT WHAT’S TO COME,

Hamne Bhi Rakh Dee Hain
WE TOO HAVE DEFERRED

Kal Pe Kal ki Baatein.....
TO THE FUTURE THAT WHAT’S TO COME,

Jeevan Ka Haasil Hai
LIFE’S SUM AND SUBSTANCE ARE

Pal Do Pal Ki Baatein,
WHAT COMPRISES OF THE MOMENTS,

Do Hi Ghadi Ko Saath Rahegaa
ONLY A COUPLE OF MOMENTS THE TOGETHERNESS WILL BE,

Karna Kya Hai Tanha Jee Ke.
WHY TO LIVE A LONELY LIFE?

Deewaana Mujhe Sa Nahin
INSANE LIKE ME THERE IS NONE

Is Ambar ke Neeche
UNDER THIS SKY

Aage Hai Qaatil Mera

Aur Main Peechhe Peechhe
WITH ME TAGGING BEHIND.
