Philosophical/
Didactic Song of Rafi that’s still fresh in mind after 55 years: Kahaan jaa rahaa hai tuu ay jaane waale...
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi-Urdu Lyrics:


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai, tuu ay jaane waale
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO O VAGRANT!


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai, tuu ay jaane waale,
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO O VAGRANT!


andheraa hai mann kaa, diyaa toh jalaa le
THERE’S DARKNESS, LIGHT UP THE LAMP OF THE HEART,


kahaa.n jaa, rahaa hai, tuu ay jaane waale,
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO O VAGRANT!


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai ...
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO...


yeh jeevan safar ek a.ndhaa safar hai,
THIS LIFE’S JOURNEY IS A JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN,


yeh jeevan safar ek, a.ndhaa safar hai,
THIS LIFE’S JOURNEY IS A JOURNEY INTO THE UNKNOWN,


bahaknaa hai mumkin, bhaTakne kaa Dar hai,
‘TIS POSSIBLE TO BE MISLED, THERE’S THE FEAR OF GOING ASTRAY,


bahaknaa hai mumkin, bhaTakne kaa Dar hai,
‘TIS POSSIBLE TO BE MISLED, THERE’S THE FEAR OF GOING ASTRAY,


sa.mbhaltaa nahee.n, dil kisee ke sa.mbhaale
‘TIS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE HEART DESPITE THE CARE,


kahaa.n, jaa rahaa hai, tuu ay jaane waale
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO O VAGRANT!


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai,
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO...


jo Thokar naa khaaye, nahee.n jeet uskee,
IF ONE DOESN’T STUMBLE, HIS IS NOT THE VICTORY,


jo Thokar naa khaaye, nahee.n jeet uskee,
IF ONE DOESN’T STUMBLE, HIS IS NOT THE VICTORY,


jo gir ke sa.mbhal jaaye, hai jeet uskee,
IF ONE GETS UP AFTER STUMBLING, HIS IS THE VICTORY,


jo gir ke sa.mbhal jaaye, hai jeet uskee,
IF ONE GETS UP AFTER STUMBLING, HIS IS THE VICTORY,


nishaa.n ma.nzilo.n ke, ye pairo.n ke chhaale
SIGNS OF STAGES ARE THESE BLISTERS OF THE FEET,


kahaa.n jaa, rahaa hai, tuu ay jaane waale
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO O VAGRANT!


kahaa.n jaa, rahaa hai,
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO...


AAA~~~~AAAA~~~


kabhee yeh bhee sochaa ke ma.nzil kahaa.n hai,
HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU WHERE LIES YOUR DESTINATION?


kabhee yeh bhee sochaa, ke ma.nzil kahaa.n hai,
HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU WHERE LIES YOUR DESTINATION?


ba.De se jahaa.n me.n, teraa ghar kahaa.n hai,
WHERE IN THIS WHOLE WIDE WORLD IS YOUR HAVEN?


teraa ghar kahaa.n hai,
WHERE IS YOUR HAVEN?


teraa ghar kahaa.n hai,
WHERE IS YOUR HAVEN?


jo baa.Nndhe theh ba.ndhan, voh kyoo.n to.D Daale
THE KNOTS THAT YOU’D TIED, WHY DID YOU BREAK THEM UP?


kahaa.n jaa, rahaa hai, tuu ay jaane waale,
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO O VAGRANT!


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai,
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO,


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai ...
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO...


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai ...
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO...


kahaa.n jaa rahaa hai ...
WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO...
