101. Translation of Sad Song of Rafi: Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki...


From: Dulari (1949)
Music: Naushad
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni



Rafi in blue mood singing: Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki....

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:




Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki,
THE PLEASANT NIGHT IS OVER

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU’LL ARRIVE

Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki,
THE PLEASANT NIGHT IS OVER,

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU’LL ARRIVE,

Jahaa.n Ki Rut Badal Chuki
WORLD’S WEATHER HAS CHANGED

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU’LL ARRIVE,


Nazaare Apni Mastiyaa.n
THE SIGHTS THEIR RAPTURES

Dikha Dikha Ke So Gaye,
SHOWN, HAVE GONE TO SLEEP,

Sitaare Apni Raushnee
THE STARS THEIR LUMINANCE

Luta Luta Ke So Gaye
STRIPPED, HAVE GONE TO SLEEP,

Har Ek Shamma Jal Chuki
EVERY LAMP HAS GONE OUT,

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU'LL ARRIVE,

Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki
THE PLEASANT NIGHT IS OVER

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU’LL ARRIVE


Ta.rap Rahe Hai.n Hamm Yahaa.n
HERE WE’RE SUFFERING AGITATION

Ta.rap Rahe Hai.n Hamm Yahaa.n
HERE WE’RE SUFFERING AGITATION

Tumhaare Intizaaar Mein
IN YOUR EXPECTATION,

Tumhaare Intizaaar Mein
IN YOUR EXPECTATION,

Khizaa.n ka Rangg Aa Chala Hai
SHADES OF AUTUMN IS CREEPING

Mausam-e-Bahaar Mein,
IN THE TIME OF BLOSSOM,

Hawa Bhi Rukh Badal Chuki,
EVEN THE WIND HAS CHANGED ITS COURSE,

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU’LL ARRIVE,

Suhaani Raat Dhal Chuki
THE PLEASANT NIGHT IS OVER

Na Jaane Tum Kab Aaoge,
DON’T KNOW WHEN YOU’LL ARRIVE

NASIR.
