Rafi's Peppy Song: mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo...
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the Urdu-Hindi filmy lyrics:

mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo, phir ho jaaooN sansaar kaa,
BEFRIEND ME, THEN I’LL BEFRIEND THE WORLD,

mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo, phir ho jaaooN sansaar kaa,
BEFRIEND ME, THEN I’LL BEFRIEND THE WORLD,

Arre aazmaa ke dekho, dil kaisaa hai dil-daar kaa, 
HEY, TRY ME AND SEE HOW GENEROUS IS THE SWEETHEART!

mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo, phir ho jaaooN sansaar kaa..
BEFRIEND ME, THEN I’LL BEFRIEND THE WORLD!

jin raastoN se niklooN, 
ON THE ROUTES I TAKE  

ek dhoom see machaa dooN, 
I CREATE A KINDA STIR,  

jin mehfiloN meN jaaooN, 
THE PARTIES I FREQUENT

voh mehfileN sajaa dooN,
THOSE PARTIES I ADORN, 

jin raastoN se niklooN, 
ON THE ROUTES I TAKE  

ek dhoom see machaa dooN, 
I CREATE A KINDA  STIR,  

jin mehfiloN meN jaaooN,
THE PARTIES I FREQUENT

voh mehfileN sajaa dooN,
THOSE PARTIES I ADORN! 

maiN raahee hooN albela, 
I’M A SPORTIVE WAYFARER, 

aur pyaasaa hooN deedaar kaa 
AND CRAVING FOR THE SIGHT!

mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo, phir ho jaaooN sansaar kaa,
BEFRIEND ME, THEN I’LL BEFRIEND THE WORLD,

Arre aazmaa ke dekho, dil kaisaa hai dil-daar kaa… 
HEY, TRY ME AND SEE HOW GENEROUS IS THE SWEETHEART!

maiN kyaa karooN ke zaalim, 
WHAT AM I TO DO, O SWEET OPPRESSOR!

soorat hee aisee paayee, 
I HAVE SUCH A FACE!  

dil meraa Aainaa hai,
MY HEART’S A MIRROR, 

dil meN naheeN buraayee, 
THE HEART NURTURES NO EVIL! 

mere dil ko dil meN lelo,
PUT YOUR HEART INTO MINE,

hai heeraa aitbaar kaa
‘TIS A RELIABLE DIAMOND! 

mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo, phir ho jaaooN sansaar kaa,
BEFRIEND ME, THEN I’LL BEFRIEND THE WORLD,

Arre aazmaa ke dekho, dil kaisaa hai dil-daar kaa…
HEY,  TRY ME AND SEE HOW GENEROUS IS THE SWEETHEART!

duniyaa kee waadiyoN meN,
IN THE VALLEY OF THE WORLD

bin yaar kaise jeenaa,
HOW ONE’S TO LIVE WITHOUT A FRIEND!

dariyaa bhee soonaa soonaa,
EVEN THE RIVER IS LONELY

jab tak naa ho safeenaa, 
UNLESS THERE’S A SHIP!

duniyaa kee waadiyoN meN,
IN THE VALLEY OF THE WORLD

bin yaar kaise jeenaa,
HOW ONE’S TO LIVE WITHOUT A FRIEND!

dariyaa bhee soonaa soonaa,
EVEN THE RIVER IS LONELY

jab tak naa ho safeenaa, 
UNLESS THERE’S A SHIP!

Arre sun lo duniya waaloN,
HEAR YE O WORLDLINGS

yeh naGhmaa dil ke taar kaa, 
THIS SONG OF THE HEART’S STRING!

mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo, phir ho jaaooN sansaar kaa,
BEFRIEND ME, THEN I’LL BEFRIEND THE WORLD,

Arre aazmaa ke dekho, dil kaisaa hai dil-daar kaa 
HEY,  TRY ME AND SEE HOW GENEROUS IS THE SWEETHEART!

mujhe apnaa yaar banaa lo, phir ho jaaooN sansaar kaa.
BEFRIEND ME, THEN I’LL BEFRIEND THE WORLD!
