42. Translation of Rafi Song: Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin...
From: TEESRI MANZIL (1966)
Music: R.D. Burman.
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri.
Loverboy, Mohammed Rafi, singing the futility of the "Fugitive Hours" of Life but in a romantic mood; Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin....
Transliteration/Translation of the original lyrics:
Deewaana...
INSANE
Mujh Sa Nahin...
LIKE ME THERE IS NONE
Is Ambar ke Neeche –
UNDER THIS SKY...
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.
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.
Paaya Hai Dushman Ko
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
AHEAD IS MY KILLER
Aur Main Peechhe Peechhe
WITH ME TAGGING BEHIND.
Deewaana Mujhe Sa Nahin
INSANE LIKE ME THERE IS NONE
Is Ambar ke Neeche
UNDER THIS SKY
hmmm hmmm hmm hmmm
NASIR.
