Movie: Toofan Mein Pyar Kahan (1966)
Lyrics: Prem Dhawan

Versatile Rafi Sahaab commendably modulates his voice to suit the great natural actor, Ashok Kumar, while singing on the pangs of loneliness in: Itnee Badee Dunya.....
Roman Translation/English Translation of the original lyrics:
Itnee ba.dee dunyaa, jahaa.n itnaa ba.daa melaa,
SUCH A BIG WORLD, WITH SUCH A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE,
magar mai.n, h.N ha.N ha.N,
BUT AS FOR ME? (sarcastic grin)
kitnaa akelaa,
HOW LONESOME AM I!
kitnaa akelaa,
HOW LONESOME AM I!
Itnee ba.dee dunyaa, jahaa.n itnaa ba.daa melaa,
SUCH A BIG WORLD, WITH SUCH A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE
magar mai.n, h.N ha.N ha.N,
BUT AS FOR ME? (sarcastic grin)
kitnaa akelaa,
HOW LONESOME AM I!
kitnaa akelaa,
HOW LONESOME AM I!
ay dil gha.dee bhar ko, mil ke kare.n baate.n,
O HEART, FOR A MOMENT, LET’S TALK TO EACH OTHER,
ay dil gha.dee bhar ko, mil ke kare.n baate.n,
O HEART, FOR A MOMENT, LET’S TALK TO EACH OTHER,
kaTtee nahee.n aise tanhaa, meree raate.n,
THE LONELY NIGHTS OF MINE DON’T PASS SO,
sab ko milaa saathee, jabhee aayee milan belaa,
EVERYONE FOUND HIS COMPANION, WHEN THE TIME CAME FOR THE UNION,
magar mai.n, h.N ha.N ha.N,
BUT AS FOR ME? (sarcastic grin)
kitnaa akelaa ...
HOW LONESOME AM I!
kitnaa akelaa.
HOW LONESOME AM I!
guzre dino.n kaa hai, dhu.ndhalaa nishaa.n baaqee,
OF THE DAYS GONE BYE, A FAINT TRACE REMAINS,
guzre dino.n kaa hai, dhu.ndhalaa nishaa.n baaqee,
OF THE DAYS GONE BYE, A FAINT TRACE REMAINS,
dil toh bujhaa kab se ab hai, dhu_aa.n baaqee,
THE HEART HAS EXTINGUISHED SINCE LONG, NOW THE SMOKE REMAINS,
dukhte huwe dil pe, bhalaa kyaa-kyaa nahee.n jhelaa,
WELL, WHAT NOT THE ACHING HEART HAS ENDURED!
magar mai.n, h.N ha.N ha.N,
BUT AS FOR ME, (sarcastic grin)
kitnaa akelaa,
HOW LONESOME AM I!
kitnaa akelaa,
HOW LONESOME AM I!
Itnee ba.dee dunyaa, jahaa.n itnaa ba.daa melaa,
SUCH A BIG WORLD, WITH A MULTITUDE OF PEOPLE,
magar mai.n,
BUT AS FOR ME,
kitnaa akelaa,
HOW LONESOME AM I!
kitnaa akelaa.
HOW LONESOME AM I!

“The most terrible poverty is loneliness, and the feeling of being unloved.”
Mother Teresa
I had heard this song before but listening to it and going through the lyrics parallely gave me gooseflesh! It's soooooooooo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteVery well commented sunheriyaadein! Tucked away in some remote nestling, Ashok Kumar laments the engulfing loneliness so beautifully voiced by the Legendary Rafi Sahaab!
