Rafi Sahaab’s early nugget: TooTe Huwe Dil Ko Ulfat Kaa...

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



TooTe huwe dil ko ulfat ka, bas itnaa fasaanaa yaad rahaa,
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART REMEMBERS ONLY THIS TALE:

Ik un ka aanaa yaad rahaa, ik un kaa jaana, yaad rahaa,
JUST HER COMING, AND JUST HER GOING, IS ALL THAT’S REMEMBERED.

TooTe huwe dil ko, ulfat ka..
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART....

Din raat barastee hai.n aa.nkhen
DAY AND NIGHT THE EYES SHED TEARS,

Din raat barastee, hai.n aa.nkhen,
DAY AND NIGHT THE EYES SHED TEARS,

Ha.nsne ko tarastee hai.n ankhen...
THE EYES YEARN TO LAUGH,

Ha.nsne ko tarastee hai.n ankhen,
THE EYES YEARN TO LAUGH,

Ha.nsne ke bahaane bhool gaye,
AN EXCUSE TO LAUGH’S BEEN FORGOTTEN,

Rone ka bahaanaa yaad rahaa,
AN EXCUSE TO WEEP IS REMEMBERED.

TooTe huwe dil ko ulfat ka, bas itnaa fasaanaa, yaad rahaa,
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART REMEMBERS ONLY THIS TALE:

TooTe huwe dil ko, ulfat ka..
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART....


Mai.n saaraa zamaanaa bhool gayaa
I BECAME OBLIVIOUS OF THE WHOLE WORLD,

Mai.n saraa zamaanaa, bhool gayaa,
I BECAME OBLIVIOUS OF THE WHOLE WORLD,

Ik un kee dunyaa yaad rahee,
I REMEMBERED JUST HER WORLD,

Ik un kee dunyaa yaad rahee,
I REMEMBERED JUST HER WORLD,

woh meree hee dunyaa bhool gaye,
SHE FORGOT ONLY MY WORLD

aur saaraa zamaanaa yaad rahaa,
AND REMEMBERED THE ENTIRE WORLD,

TooTe huwe dil ko ulfat ka, bas itnaa fasaanaa yaad rahaa,
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART REMEMBERS ONLY THIS TALE:

TooTe huwe dil ko ulfat ka...
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART....

Jaanaa thaah unhe.n chale jaate
IF SHE WANTED TO GO SHE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE GONE,


Janaa thaah, unhe.n chale jaate,
IF SHE WANTED TO GO SHE MIGHT AS WELL HAVE GONE,

Par yaad bhee apnee le jaate..
BUT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN AWAY HER REMEMBRANCE AS WELL,

Par yaad bhee apnee le jaate,
BUT SHOULD HAVE TAKEN AWAY HER REMEMBRANCE AS WELL,

Kyoo.n aag bujhaana bhool gaye,
WHY DID SHE FORGET TO DOUSE THE FIRE,

Aur aag lagaanaa yaad rahaa,
AND SETTING OF THE FIRE SHE REMEMBERED,

TooTe huwe dil ko ulfat ka, bas itnaa fasaanaa yaad rahaa,
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART REMEMBERS ONLY THIS TALE:

TooTe huwe dil ko, ulfat ka.
OF THE ROMANCE, THE BROKEN HEART....

NASIR

If tears could build a stairway on memories alone,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
and bring you home again
