Rafi Sahaab’s unforgettable: Hamne Jafaa Na Seekhee...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:





Hamne jafaa na seekhee,
WE KNEW OF NO DISLOYALTY

Un ko wafa na aayee,
SHE KNEW NO LOYALTY,

Hamne jafaa na seekhee,
WE KNEW OF NO DISLOYALTY,

Un ko wafa na aayee,
SHE KNEW NO LOYALTY,

Patthar se dil lagaayaa,
A STONE WE LOVED

Aur dil pe chot khaayee,
AND OUR HEART SUFFERED A BLOW,

Hamne jafaa na seekhee...
WE KNEW OF NO DISLOYALTY...

Apne hee dil ke haathon, barbaad ho gaye hamm,
OF OUR OWN DOING WE GOT RUINED,

Apne hee dil ke haathon, barbaad ho gaye hamm,
OF OUR OWN DOING WE GOT RUINED,

Barbaad ho gaye hamm,
WE GOT RUINED,

Kis se kare.n shiqaayat, Ab kis ki de duhaaee,
WHO SHOULD WE COMPLAIN TO? WHO SHOULD WE GRIEVE FOR?

Patthar se dil lagaayaa,
A STONE WE LOVED,

Aur dil pe chot khaayee,
AND OUR HEART SUFFERED A BLOW,

Hamne jafaa na seekhee...
WE KNEW OF NO DISLOYALTY...


Duniya banane waale, Main tujh se poochta hoon,
O CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, I ASK YOU,

Duniya banane waale, Main tujh se poochta hoon,
O CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, I ASK YOU,

Main tujh se poochta hoon,
I ASK YOU,

Kya pyaar ka jahaa.n me.n , badla hai bewafaai,
IN THE WORLD, IS INFIDELITY THE RECOMPENSE FOR LOVE?


Patthar se dil lagaayaa,
A STONE WE LOVED,

Aur dil pe chot khaayee,
AND OUR HEART SUFFERED A BLOW,

Hamne jafaa na seekhee,
WE KNEW OF NO DISLOYALTY,

Un ko wafa na aayee,
SHE KNEW NO LOYALTY,

Hamne jafa na seekhi.
WE KNEW OF NO DISLOYALTY.

NASIR.

Infidelity thy name is woman!
