Lyrics: Rajinder Krishan

Rafi Sahaab passionately singing about the extreme dejection of a jilted lover: Jo Unki Tamanna Hai....

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:



jo unkee, tamannaa hai barbaad ho jaa
IF IT’S HER DESIRE, RUIN YOURSELF,

jo unkee, tamannaa hai barbaad ho jaa
IF IT’S HER DESIRE, RUIN YOURSELF,

tau ay dil muhabbat kee qismat banaa de,
O HEART! SO MAKE THE LOVE FORTUNATE,

ta.dap aur ta.dap kar, abhee jaan de de,
WRITHING IN AGONY, LAY DOWN THE LIFE NOW,

yoo.n marte hai.n mar jaane waale dikhaa de,
DISPLAY THAT THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO DIE, PERISH THUS,

jo un kee, tamannaa hai barabaad ho jaa ...
IF IT’S HER DESIRE, RUIN YOURSELF...


naa un kaa, tabassum, tere waaste hai,
HER SMILE ISN’T MEANT FOR YOU,

naa unkaa tabassum, tere waaste hai,
HER SMILE ISN’T MEANT FOR YOU,

naa tere liye unkee zulfo.n ke saaye,
NOR FOR YOU ARE THE SHADES OF HER TRESSES,

tu be-aas phir kyu.n, jiye jaa rahaa hai,
THEN WHY DO YOU CONTINUE LIVING HOPELESSLY?

tu be-aas phir kyu.n, jiye jaa rahaa hai,
THEN WHY DO YOU CONTINUE LIVING HOPELESSLY?

jawaani me.n yeh zindagaanee luTaa de,
SQUANDER THIS LIFE IN THE YOUTH,

jo unkee, tamannaa hai barbaad ho jaa ...
IF IT’S HER DESIRE, RUIN YOURSELF..


sitam yaa, karam, husn waalo.n kee marzee,
CRUELTY OR KINDNESS? AS PER BEAUTIFUL WOMEN'S WHIMS!

sitam yaa karam, husn waalo.n kee marzee,
CRUELTY OR KINDNESS? AS PER BEAUTIFUL WOMEN'S WHIMS!

yahee soch kar koi shikvaa naa karnaa,
CONSIDERING THIS, DON’T MAKE ANY GRIEVANCE,

sitamagar salaamat, rahe husn teraa,
O OPPRESSOR! MAY YOUR BEAUTY ABIDE,

sitamagar, salaamat rahe husn teraa,
O OPPRESSOR! MAY YOUR BEAUTY ABIDE,

yahee uss ko miTne se pehle duaa de,
SUPPLICATE THUS FOR HER, BEFORE ANNIHILATION,


jo unkee, tamannaa hai barbaad ho jaa
IF IT’S HER DESIRE, RUIN YOURSELF,

tau ay dil muhabbat kee qismat banaa de,
O HEART! SO MAKE THE LOVE FORTUNATE,

ta.dap aur ta.dap kar, abhee jaan de de,
WRITHING IN AGONY, LAY DOWN THE LIFE NOW,

yoo.n marte hai.n mar jaane waale dikhaa de,
DISPLAY THAT THOSE WHO ARE ABOUT TO PERISH, DIE THUS,

jo un kee, tamannaa hai barabaad ho jaa ...
IF IT’S HER DESIRE, RUIN YOURSELF...

You can choose to be happy or sad and whichever you choose that is what you get. No one is really responsible to make someone else happy, no matter what most people have been taught and accept as true.
