Philosophical/Didactic Song of Rafi: Agar Teree Duniya Me.n Yeh Gham Rahenge..
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:


jidhar dekhtaa hoo.n, udhar hai.n andhere....
WHEREVER I LOOK, THE DARKNESSES ABOUND,


saveraa kahaa.n hai, O bhagwaan mere.....
WHERE’S THE DAWN? O GOD OF MINE!


agar teree duniyaa me.n yeh Gham rahenge,
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING,


agar teree duniyaa me.n yeh, Gham rahenge,
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING,


toh phir teree duniyaa me.n, kyaa hamm rahenge,
THEN HOW IN THE WORLD WILL WE BE EXISTING,


agar teree duniyaa me.n yeh, Gham rahenge,
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING...


hai.n tere jahaa.n me.n, kahee.n toh bahaare.n
AT LEAST SOMEWHERE IN YOUR WORLD THE SPRING MAY BE BLOOMING,


hai.n tere jahaa.n me.n,  kahee.n toh bahaare.n,
AT LEAST SOMEWHERE IN YOUR WORLD THE SPRING MAY BE BLOOMING,


kahee.n uTh rahee.n hai.n,  Ghamo.n ki pukaare.n,
SOMEWHERE, THE CRIES OF SORROWS ARE RISING,


kahee.n uTh rahee.n hai.n,  Ghamo.n ki pukaare.n,
SOMEWHERE, THE CRIES OF SORROWS ARE RISING,


yahee zindagi hai toh kyaa,  Khush rahenge
IF SUCH IS THE LIFE, THEN HOW WILL WE BE FLOURISHING?


agar, teree duniyaa me.n yeh Gham rahenge
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING...


naa itnaa sataa tu, tujhe hamm, bataa de.n
DON’T TORMENT US SO, LET’S TELL YOU,


naa itnaa sataa tu, tujhe hamm bataa de.n,
DON’T TORMENT US SO, LET’S TELL YOU,


yeh aaho.n ke shole, naa tujh ko jalaa de.n,
LEST THESE FLAMES OF SIGHS BURN YOU,


yeh aaho.n ke shole, naa tujh ko jalaa de.n,
LEST THESE FLAMES OF SIGHS BURN YOU,


bataa kab talak yeh, sitam hamm sahe.nge,
TELL US, HOW LONG THIS OPPRESSION WILL WE BE ENDURING?


agar, teree duniyaa me.n yeh Gham rahenge...
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING...


rahegaa sitam kaa , agar yeh andheraa,
IF THIS DARKNESS OF OPPRESSION WILL BIDE,


toh miT jaayegaa, naam duniyaa se teraa,
THEN FROM THE WORLD YOUR NAME WILL GET WIPED,


rahegaa sitam kaa , agar yeh andheraa,
IF THE DARKNESS OF OPPRESSION WILL BIDE,


toh miT jaayegaa, naam duniyaa se teraa,
THEN FROM THE WORLD YOUR NAME WILL GET WIPED,


hai maalik bhee jhooTaa, sabhee yeh kahenge,
EVEN THE LORD IS A LIE, ALL WILL BE INSISTING,


agar teree duniyaa me.n yeh Gham rahenge,
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING,


toh phir teree duniyaa me.n, kyaa hamm rahenge,
THEN HOW IN THE WORLD WILL WE BE EXISTING,


agar, teree duniyaa me.n yeh Gham rahenge.
IF IN YOUR WORLD SUCH SORROWS WILL BE PERSISTING.
