Peppy Song of Rafi: kaun yeh aayaa mehfil meN…

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the filmy lyrics:

kaun ye aayaa mehfil meN,
WHO IS IT WHO’S COME TO THE PARTY

bijlee see chamkee dil meN,

KINDA LIGHTNING FLASHED IN THE HEART,

ujlaa mukhRaa kaalaa til,

BRIGHT FACE, BLACK MOLE,

 
hoNTh gulaabee jaise dil,
LIPS AS ROSY AS THE HEART

rangg-e-badan taubaa taubaa,
BODY COMPLEXION, OH MY GOD!

tuu naa milee toh kyaa hogaa,

HEAVEN HELP ME IF I DON’T GET YOU,

haay o,   dil-rubaa,  meree neetaa…

O MY BEWITCHING NITA!

leke meraa dil yooN tuune,

TAKING MY HEART THUS

aaNkh jhukaa lee kyooN tuune,

WHY HAVE YOU LOWERED YOUR EYES?

tuune yahee sochaa hogaa,

YOU MUST HAVE THOUGHT

suntee hai mehfil kyaa hogaa,

THE CROWD’S LISTENING! WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN?

kyaa hogaa yeh kis ko paRee,

WHO CARES WHAT’S GONNA HAPPEN!

hosh kahaaN jab aaNkh laRee

NO SENSE REMAINS WHEN LOVING GLANCES MEET!

aaNkh laRee dil haar diyaa,

THE GLANCES HAVE MET AND THE HEART’S LOST,

teree adaa ne maar diyaa,

YOUR ELEGANCE HAS CONSUMED ME,

haay o,   dil-rubaa,  meree neetaa…

O MY BEWITCHING NITA!

pyaar kiyaa hai toh, phir nibhaanaa,

IF YOU’VE LOVED, THEN SEE IT THROUGH,

aaj khul ke yooN,  aaNkh milaanaa,
THUS LOOK INTO MY EYE OPENLY,

dekhtaa rahe muNh yeh  zamaanaa

LET THE WORLD WATCH THE FACE AGHAST!

O O-O O-O-O-O-O…

jaise gire shamma pe parwaana,

JUST AS THE MOTH FALLS OVER THE FLAME,

tuu bhee aajaa, kyaa karegaa zamaanaa,

YOU TOO COME! WHAT’S THE WORLD GONNA DO?

jaise koyee TooT-taa hai sitaaraa,

JUST AS SOME STAR FALLS,

jhoom ke aa, thaam le haath hamaaraa,

COME SWAYING, AND HOLD MY HAND!

jaise koyee,  mauj uThe bal khaa ke,

JUST AS THE SEA SURGES

aajaa aajaa, aa bhee jaa lehraa ke,

COME! COME WITH A WAVE,

haay o,   dil-rubaa,  meree neetaa…
O MY BEWITCHING NITA!

tuu jo hai meree baahoN meN,

AS YOU’RE IN MY ARMS,

jal-te haiN deepak raahoN meN,

THE LAMPS LIGHT THE PATHS,

(Usha Khanna):  jal-te haiN deepak raahoN meN,

                            THE LAMPS LIGHT THE PATHS,

KhawaaboN kee bastee hai zameeN,
A DREAM DWELLING’S THE EARTH,

aaj hai duniyaa kitnee haNsee,

HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THE WORLD TODAY!

(Usha Khanna): aaj hai duniyaa kitnee haNsee,

                            HOW BEAUTIFUL IS THE WORLD TODAY!

dil se dil kaa saath rahe,
MAY THE HEARTS REMAIN TOGETHER,

jeevan bhar yeh raat rahe,

MAY THIS NIGHT LAST FOR A LIFETIME,

(Usha Khanna): dil se dil kaa saath rahe,
                           MAY THE HEARTS REMAIN TOGETHER,

(Usha Khanna): jeevan bhar yeh raat rahe,

                           MAY THIS NIGHT LAST FOR A LIFETIME,

haay  o dilarubaa meree neetaa

O MY BEWITCHING NITA!

haay ay meree neetaa,

O MY NITA!

haay ay meree neetaa.

O MY NITA!
