87. Translation of Rafi Song: Zara Mann Ki Kevadia Khol

From: Kohinoor (1960)
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni
Music: Naushad.


In true love, the smallest distance is too great and the greatest distance can be bridged. So echoes the voice of Romantic Rafi in Zara Mann Ki Kevadia Khol.....


The song revolves around the theme of love, patience, and the anticipation of a reunion between the lover and the beloved.

koi pyaar ke pankh pasaare
SPREADING THE WINGS OF LOVE, SOMEONE

aaya hai paas tihaare,
HAS DRAWN NIGH TO YOU,

sudh-budh apni bisraaye ke
HAVING LOST HIS SENSES,

paagal mann tohe pukaare:
THE CRAZY MIND CALLS YOU:


zaraaa mann ki kiva.dia khol
OPEN THE HEART’S SHUTTER FOR A WHILE,

saiyaa.n tore dwaare kha.de,
THE LOVER STANDS AT YOUR GATE,

zaraa mann ki kiva.dia khol
OPEN THE HEART’S SHUTTER FOR A WHILE,

saiyyaa.n tore dwaare kha.de,
THE LOVER STANDS AT YOUR GATE,

saiyyaa.n tore balma tore dwaare,
THE LOVER – THE DARLING - AT YOUR GATE,

O sajna tore dwaare kha.de
O THE TRUE LOVE STANDS AT THE GATE.


birha ki raina...
THE NIGHT OF PARTING...

birha ki raina teri, galiyon ke phere
THE NIGHT OF PARTING, GOING ROUND YOUR LANES

teri galiyon ke phere,
GOING ROUND YOUR LANES,

jogi ka roop liya preetam ne tere,
A YOGI’S GUISE YOUR LOVER’S DONNED,

Ohh... milna hai aaj tohe, apne piya se,
