Rafi Sahaab’s Rare Gem: Kaisaa Hai Naseeb Teraa...

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



Ruk jaa ...
STOP...

Tere haath bandhe hai.n..
YOUR HANDS ARE TIED...

Karmo.n kee zanjeer me.n..
IN THE FETTERS OF YOUR KARMA...

Apne khoon ko gale lagaanaa,
EMBRACING YOUR BLOOD-RELATIVE

Nahee.n tere taqdeer me.n...
IS NOT THERE IN YOUR DESTINY...


Kaisaa hai naseeb, teraa
WHAT SORT OF FATE YOU’VE!

Kaisaa tuu sawaalee hai,
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!

Kaisaa hai naseeb, teraa
WHAT SORT OF FATE YOU’VE!

Kaisaa tuu sawaalee hai,
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!

Sab kuchh paaya tuune,
YOU’VE EVERYTHING,

Sab kuchh paaya tuune,
YOU’VE EVERYTHING,

phir bhee jholee khaalee hai, ay......
EVEN THEN, EMPTY IS YOUR WALLET,

Kaisaa hai naseeb, teraa
WHAT SORT OF FATE YOU’VE!

kaisaa tuu sawaalee hai...
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!


Tuune saaree khushiyaa.n kho dee.n,
YOU LOST ALL HAPPINESS

Saap kee Kaalee raato.n me.n,
IN THE SNAKIEST BLACK NIGHTS,

Reh gaye gham ke jalte aa.nsoo,
LEAVING THE BURNING TEARS OF SORROW

Teree pyaasee aa.nkhon me.n.
IN YOUR THIRSTING EYES,


Kaisaa hai naseeb, teraa
WHAT SORT OF FATE YOU’VE!

Kaisaa tuu sawaalee hai,
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!

Sab kuchh paayaa tuune,
EVERYTHING YOU’ VE,

Sab kuchh paayaa tuune,
EVERYTHING YOU’VE,

phir bhee jholee khaalee hai, ay...
EVEN THEN, EMPTY IS YOUR WALLET,

Kaisaa hai naseeb, teraa
WHAT SORT OF FATE YOU’VE!

kaisaa tuu sawaalee hai...
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!


Pyaar ka daaman mailaa naa ho,
IN ORDER THAT THE SHEET OF LOVE MAY NOT BE SOILED,

Apne daagh chhupaa le tuu,
CONCEAL YOUR BLEMISHES,

Tere kiye kee yahee sazaa hai,
THE PUNISHMENT FOR YOUR DEEDS IS ONLY THIS:

Maut ko gale lagaale tuu,
YOU SHOULD EMBRACE DEATH.

Kaisa hai naseeb, teraa
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!

Kaisaa tuu sawaalee hai,
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!

Sab kuchh paaya tuune,
YOU’VE EVERYTHING,

Sab kuchh paaya tuune,
YOU’VE EVERYTHING,

Phir bhee jholee khaalee hai, ay.....
EVEN THEN, EMPTY IS YOUR WALLET,

Kaisaa hai naseeb teraa,
WHAT SORT OF FATE YOU’VE!

Kaisaa tuu sawaalee hai.
WHAT KIND OF A PETITIONER YOU’RE!

Apne daagh chhupaa le tuu,
CONCEAL YOUR BLEMISHES,

Maut ko gale lagaale tuu,
O YOU, EMBRACE DEATH!

Maut ko gale lagaale,
EMBRACE DEATH!

Maut ko gale lagaale,
EMBRACE DEATH!

Maut ko gale, lagaale.
EMBRACE DEATH!

NASIR.
