Rafi Sahaab’s shining gem: Meree Aa.nkho.n Ke Ujaale...
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu/Hindi Lyrics:
Meree aa.nkho.n ke ujaale,
O LIGHT OF MY EYES!
Meree raahat mere bhaaee,
MY COMFORTER - MY BROTHER!
Mere bhaaee...
MY BROTHER...
Meree aa.nkho.n ke ujaale,
O LIGHT OF MY EYES!
Meree raahat mere bhaaee,
MY COMFORTER - MY BROTHER!
Mere bhaaee,
MY BROTHER!
Meree ummeed ke taare,
THE STAR OF MY HOPE,
Meree qismat mere bhaaee,
MY DESTINY - MY BROTHER!
Mere bhaaee...
MY BROTHER....
Ta.dap rahee hai, muhabbat, meree tumhaare liye,
MY LOVE LONGS FOR YOU,
Hai be-panah ki, ulfat, mereee tumhaare liye,
THERE’S MY BOUNDLESS LOVE FOR YOU,
Sunegaa kaun, meraa Gham, kise sunaaye.ngaa,
WHO’LL LISTEN TO MY WOES, WHOM TO NARRATE?
Binaa tumhaare, lahoo kis kaa, josh khaayegaa,
IN YOUR ABSENCE, WHOSE BLOOD WILL BOIL?
Kisee ka dard jo le, voh jigar nahee.n miltaa,
HE THAT WILL TAKE SOMEONE’S PAIN, SUCH A HEART I DON’T FIND,
Ke har shay miltee hai, bhaaee magar nahee.n miltaa,
FOR, EVERYTHING CAN BE FOUND , BUT A BROTHER CAN’T BE FOUND!
Bhaaee magar, nahee.n miltaa...
BUT A BROTHER CAN’T BE FOUND...
Mereee baaho.n ke sahaare,
THE PROP OF MY ARMS!
Meree himmat mere bhaaee..
MY COURAGE - MY BROTHER!
Mere bhaaee...
MY BROTHER...
Tumeh kaleje, lagaane, yeh baahe.n tarse.ngee,
MY ARMS WILL YEARN TO HUG YOU TO MY BOSOM,
Chale.ngee Thandi, hawaayen, toh aahe.n barse.ngee,
AS THE COLD WIND BLOWS, THE SIGHS WILL RAIN,
Chaman udaas rahegaa, bahaar royegee,
CHEERLESS WILL BE THE GARDEN, THE SPRING WILL WEEP,
Tumeh naa paa ke, Khushee be-qaraar royegee,
ON NOT FINDING YOU, THE JOY WILL UNCONSOLABLY WEEP,
Kisi ka bhaaee judaa ho, kabhee Khudaa naa kare,
THAT SOMEONE’S BROTHER SHOULD PART, MAY GOD NEVER WILL,
Naseeb itnaa buraa ho, kabhee Khudaa naa kare,
THAT THE PORTION SHOULD BE SO BAD, MAY GOD NEVER WILL,
Kabhee Khudaa, naa kare...
MAY GOD NEVER WILL...
Meree jaa.n se mujhe pyaare,
O DEARER TO ME THAN MY LIFE!
Meree chaahat mere bhaaee,
MY DESIRE, MY BROTHER!
Mere bhaaee,
MY BROTHER!
Mere aa.nkho.n ke ujaale,
O LIGHT OF MY EYES!
Meree raahat mere bhaaee,
MY COMFORTER, MY BROTHER!
Mere bhaaee.
MY BROTHER!
