Rafi’s Rare Gem: Roke se qayamat ruk jaaye….

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:

(First time on the Internet):

roke se qayamat ruk jaaye,

A GREAT CALAMITY CAN BE AVERTED

par roknaa dil kaa mushkil hai,

‘TIS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE HEART THOUGH,

kuchh bhee naa sujhayee,  detaa hai,

NOTHING SEEMS PERCEPTIBLE

jis waqt muhabbat hotee hai….

AT THE TIME WHEN LOVE STRIKES!

jab un kaa Khyaal aa jaataa hai,

WHEN SHE COMES TO THE MIND,

bechayn muhabbat hotee hai,

LOVE GROWS RESTLESS,

bechayn muhabbat hotee hai,

LOVE GROWS RESTLESS!

aisaa bhee zamaanaa aataa hai,

EVEN SUCH A TIME COMES

jab Gham kee zaroorat hotee hai,

WHEN BEING SAD BECOMES A NEED!

roke se qayamat ruk jaaye,

A GREAT CALAMITY CAN BE AVERTED

par roknaa dil kaa mushkil hai,

‘TIS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE HEART THOUGH,

kuchh bhee naa sujhayee  detaa hai,

NOTHING SEEMS PERCEPTIBLE

jis waqt muhabbat hotee hai….

AT THE TIME WHEN LOVE STRIKES!

yeh pyaar kaa josh bhee aisa hai,

LOVE’S PASSION IS SUCH

toofaa.N ko haTaa de raaho.N se,

THAT IT CAN REMOVE THE STORMS FROM THE PATHS,

yeh cheer de seenaa maujo.N kaa,

IT SPLITS OPEN THE BREAST OF WAVES,

haatho.n me.N yeh taaqat hotee hai,

SUCH STRENGTH IS VESTED IN THE HANDS,

jis waqt muhabbat hotee hai,

AT THE TIME THE LOVE STRIKES!

lo husn bachaane jaataa hai,

BEAUTY GOES TO THE RESCUE

voh ishq kahee.N badnaam naa ho,

SO THAT LOVE MAY NOT BE DEFAMED!

marne se kabhee Dartee hee nahee.N,

NEVER FEARS TO DIE,

kyaa cheez muhabbat hotee hai,

WHAT A THING LOVE IS!

jis waqt muhabbat hotee hai,

AT THE TIME WHEN LOVE STRIKES!

jab un kaa Khyaal aa jaataa hai

WHEN SHE COMES TO THE MIND,

bechayn muhabbat hotee hai,

LOVE GROWS RESTLESS!

bechayn muhabbat hotee hai,

LOVE GROWS RESTLESS

jis waqt muhabbat hotee hai,

AT THE TIME WHEN LOVE STRIKES!

jis waqt muhabbat hotee hai,

AT THE TIME WHEN LOVE STRIKES!

jis waqt muhabbat hotee hai.

AT THE TIME WHEN LOVE STRIKES!

Lyrics: Muzaffar Orkazai.


Again, another Rare gem from the Legendary Rafi Sahaab: Jal Jal Ke Shama ki Tarah...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:


Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.


Mushkil Hai, Bahut Pyar ki Duniya Ko Basaana
‘TIS VERY DIFFICULT TO SET UP THE LOVE WORLD,

Bedard Zamaane Ka Tareeqa Hai Puraana,
‘TIS THE AGE-OLD WAY OF THE CALLOUS WORLD:

Doh Pyaar Bhare Dil Kabhi Aabaad Na Karna
NEVER TO SETTLE THE TWO LOVING HEARTS,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.

Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.


Aakaash ki, Choti Pe Mahal Hamne Banaayaa,
ON THE HEAVEN’S PEAK A PALACE WE DID BUILD,

Duniya Se Bahot Door, Jahaa.n Apna Basaayaa,
AWAY FROM THE WORLD OUR HOME WE DID BUILD,

Qismat ne Magar Chaaha Hamme Shaad Na Karna
BUT WE SHOULDN’T REJOICE – THIS THE FATE WILLED.

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.

Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.


Ab Apne, Khayaalo.n mein Mujhe tum Na Basaana,
NOW IN YOUR THOUGHTS PLACE ME NOT,

Bhoole Se, Kabhi tum Mere Sapno.n mein Na Aana,
INTO MY DREAMS COME STRAYING NOT,

Gar Dil mein, uThe Dard tau Fariyaad Na Karna,
IF THE PAIN RISES IN THE HEART, THEN COMPLAIN NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.

Jal Jal Ke Shama Ki Tarah
LIKE THE LAMP THAT BURNS AND BURNS

Fariyaad Na Karna
LAMENT NOT,

Mai.n Yaad Bhi Aaoo.n tau
EVEN IF I COME TO YOUR MIND

Mujhe Yaad Na Karna.
REMEMBER ME NOT.
