is shaam kaa hogaa, saveraa kahaa.n,
WHERE WILL THIS EVENING SEE A DAYLIGHT?


yeh panchhee legaa, baseraa kahaa.n
WHERE WILL THIS BIRD HAVE A SOJOURN?


yeh panchhee legaa, baseraa kahaa.n,
WHERE WILL THIS BIRD HAVE A SOJOURN?


yeh pawan hai agan,
SCORCHING IS THIS WIND,


aur garajtaa gagan,
AND THE THUNDERING SKY,


dhartee bhee lagee jab Thukraane,
EVEN AS THE EARTH BEGINS TO SPURN!


bedard zamaanaa, kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


bedard zamaanaa kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


(chorus:
bedard zamaanaa kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


bedard zamaanaa kyaa jaane…
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW! )


zulmee ko apne zulmo.n kee, hotee kyaa kabhee pechaan bhee hai,
DOES THE OPPRESSOR EVEN RECOGNIZE HIS CRUELTIES EVER!


insaan teree, in aa.nkho.n me.n, bhagwaan bhee hai, shaytaan bhee hai,
THERE’S GOD AS WELL AS SATAN IN THESE EYES OF YOURS, O MAN!


kashtee se kinaare rooTh gayaa,
THE SHORE IS DISPLEASED WITH THE SHIP!


tin-ke kaa sahaaraa chhooT gayaa,
THE SUPPORT OF THE STRAW HAS GONE!


yeh dahaktee lahar,
THIS BURNING STREAM!


aur aage bha.nwar,
AND THE EDDY AHEAD!


yeh khiwaiyaa nahee.n jab pehchaane,
THE STEERSMAN FAILS TO RECOGNIZE THESE NOW!


bedard zamaanaa, kyaa jaane
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


bedard, zamaanaa kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


(chorus:
bedard zamaanaa kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


bedard zamaanaa kyaa jaane…
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW! )


dil pehle tuk.De tuk.De thaah,
FROM THE START,  IN PIECES WAS THE HEART,


oh~~~O~~O~~


dil pehle, tuk.De tuk.De thaah,
FROM THE START,  IN PIECES WAS THE HEART,


ab har tuk.daa bhee TooT gayaa,
NOW EVEN EVERY  PIECE IS BROKEN!


hai janam se dukhee,
DISTRESSED SINCE BIRTH,


aur gham se jhukee,
AND STOOPING WITH SORROWS,


chalee maut se jeevan Takraane,
SHE GOES TO DASH LIFE AGAINST DEATH!


bedard zamaanaa, kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


bedard zamaanaa kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


(chorus:
bedard, zamaanaa kyaa jaane,
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!


bedard, zamaanaa kyaa jaane)
WHAT DOES THE CALLOUS WORLD KNOW!

Philosophical/Didactic Song of Rafi: Mann re, tuu kaahe naa dheer dhare...
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi Lyrics:


mann re, tuu kaahe naa dheer dhare,
O HEART,  WHY DON'T  YOU HAVE PATIENCE!


voh nirmohee, moh naa jaane, jin kaa moh kare,
THAT UNLOVING ONE WHOM YOU LOVE, KNOWS NO AFFECTION,


Mann re, tuu kaahe naa dheer dhare...
O HEART, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE PATIENCE!

iss jeevan kee cha.Dhatee Dhal-tee,
THE VICISSITUDE OF THIS LIFE’S


dhoop ko kis ne baa.ndhaa,
SUNSHINE – HAS ANYONE FETTERED IT?


ra.ngg pe kis ne pehre Daale,
WHO HAS RESTRAINED  COMPLEXION!


roop ko kis ne baa.ndhaa,
WHO HAS CONFINED BEAUTY!


kaahe yeh jatan kare,
WHY STRIVE TO DO THIS!


mann re, tuu kaahe naa dheer dhare.. .
O HEART, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE PATIENCE!

utnaa hee upkaar samajh koee,
CONSIDER THAT MUCH A FAVOUR, WHEN SOMEONE


jitnaa saath nibhaa de,
PUTS UP AS MUCH WITH YOU,


janam maran kaa mel hai sapnaa,
DREAM IS THE CONFLUENCE OF BIRTH AND DEATH,


yeh sapnaa bisraa de,
BANISH THIS DREAM!


koee naa sa.nng marre,
NO ONE ACCOMPANIES IN DEATH!

Mann re, tuu kaahe naa dheer dhare,
O HEART, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE PATIENCE!

voh nirmohee, moh naa jaane, jin kaa moh kare,
THAT UNLOVING ONE WHOM YOU LOVE, KNOWS NO AFFECTION,


Oh Mann re, tuu kaahe naa dheer dhare.
O HEART, WHY DON'T YOU HAVE PATIENCE!

SURRENDER UNTO HIM ALL THE AFFAIRS, O FOOLISH MORTAL!


O, maaTee ke putle, itnaa naa kar tuu gumaan,
O EARTHEN EFFIGY, DON’T BE SO PROUD!
