Rafi Sahaab’s intoxicating and divine voice in : Woh Woh Naa Rahe....

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu/Hindi Lyrics:


woh woh naa rahe,
SHE ISN’T THE SAME AS SHE USED TO BE,

jin ke liye hamm theh, beqaraar,
FOR WHOM WE USED TO BE RESTLESS!

woh woh naa rahe,
SHE ISN’T THE SAME AS SHE USED TO BE,

jin ke liye hamm theh, beqaraar,
FOR WHOM WE USED TO BE RESTLESS,

ab kis kaa intizaar,
NOW WHOM TO WAIT FOR?

ajee kaisaa, intizaar
OH! WHAT TO WAIT FOR?

woh woh naa rahe,
SHE ISN’T THE SAME AS SHE USED TO BE,

jin ke liye hamm theh, beqaraar,
FOR WHOM WE USED TO BE RESTLESS,

woh woh naa rahe....
SHE ISN’T THE SAME AS SHE USED TO BE...


honaa thaah jo huaa so huaa, kyaa buraa huaa,
WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN, HAPPENED! WHAT SO BAD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?

honaa thaah jo huaa, so huaa, kyaa buraa huaa, kyaa buraa huaa,
WHAT HAD TO HAPPEN, HAPPENED! WHAT SO BAD ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED?

achchhaa hee huaa, TuuT gayaa jhuuTaa, etibaar,
IT HAPPENED FOR THE GOOD; THE FALSE TRUST GOT EXPOSED,

ab kis kaa intizaar,
NOW WHOM TO WAIT FOR?

ajee kaisaa, intizaar,
OH! WHAT TO WAIT FOR?

woh woh naa rahe,
SHE ISN’T THE SAME AS SHE USED TO BE,

jin ke liye hamm theh, beqaraar,
FOR WHOM WE USED TO BE RESTLESS,

woh woh naa rahe...
SHE ISN’T THE SAME AS SHE USED TO BE...

SHE ISN’T THE SAME AS SHE USED TO BE,

NASIR

A mighty pain to love it is,
And ‘tis a pain that pain to miss;
But of all pains the greatest pain
It is to love, but love in vain.
Abraham Cowley.
