Again, another Rare gem from the Legendary Rafi Sahaab: Jal Jal Ke Shama ki Tarah...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:


Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.


Mushkil Hai, Bahut Pyar ki Duniya Ko Basaana
‘TIS VERY DIFFICULT TO SET UP THE LOVE WORLD,

Bedard Zamaane Ka Tareeqa Hai Puraana,
‘TIS THE AGE-OLD WAY OF THE CALLOUS WORLD:

Doh Pyaar Bhare Dil Kabhi Aabaad Na Karna
NEVER TO SETTLE THE TWO LOVING HEARTS,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.

Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.


Aakaash ki, Choti Pe Mahal Hamne Banaayaa,
ON THE HEAVEN’S PEAK A PALACE WE DID BUILD,

Duniya Se Bahot Door, Jahaa.n Apna Basaayaa,
AWAY FROM THE WORLD OUR HOME WE DID BUILD,

Qismat ne Magar Chaaha Hamme Shaad Na Karna
BUT WE SHOULDN’T REJOICE – THIS THE FATE WILLED.

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.

Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.


Ab Apne, Khayaalo.n mein Mujhe tum Na Basaana,
NOW IN YOUR THOUGHTS PLACE ME NOT,

Bhoole Se, Kabhi tum Mere Sapno.n mein Na Aana,
INTO MY DREAMS COME STRAYING NOT,

Gar Dil mein, uThe Dard tau Fariyaad Na Karna,
IF THE PAIN RISES IN THE HEART, THEN COMPLAIN NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.

Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.
