Mohammed Rafi’s Evergreen Peppy Song: sar jo teraa chakraaye…

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the Hindi/Urdu filmy lyrics:

Maalish, tel maalish,  champii,

MASSAGE, OIL MESSAGE, BODYWORK…

sar jo teraa chakaraaye,

IF YOUR HEAD SPINS,  

yaa dil Duubaa jaaye
OR YOUR HEART SINKS,

aajaa pyaare paas hamaare,

COME TO ME DEAR,  

kaahe ghabraaye, kaahe ghabraaye,
DON’T FLINCH, DON’T FLINCH!

Maalish, tel maalish…

MASSAGE, OIL MASSAGE…

sar jo teraa chakaraaye,

IF YOUR HEAD SPINS, 

yaa dil Duubaa jaaye,
OR YOUR HEART SINKS,

aajaa pyaare paas hamaare,

COME TO ME DEAR, 

kaahe ghabraaye, kaahe ghabraaye…
DON’T FLINCH, DON’T FLINCH!

tel meraa hai muskii,

MY OIL IS MUSKY,

ganj rahe na khuskii,
NEITHER BALDNESS NOR DANDRUFF WILL LAST,

jis ke sar par haath phiraa duuN chamke Qismat us kii,
IF ON SOMEONE’S HEAD I MOVE MY HAND, HIS KISMET WILL SHINE!

tel meraa hai muskii,

IF ON SOMEONE’S HEAD I MOVE MY HAND, HIS KISMET WILL SHINE!
