When the Love Star is pushed into a vicious revolution of Misfortune, Rafi Sahaab sings: Raha Gardishon Me.n Har Damm....

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:


rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm, mere ishq kaa sitaaraa,
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN THE STAR OF MY LOVE,

rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm, mere ishq kaa sitaaraa,
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN THE STAR OF MY LOVE,

kabhee Dagmagaayee kashtee, kabhee kho gayaa, kinaaraa,
SOMETIMES THE BOAT ROCKED, SOMETIMES THE SHORE WAS LOST,

rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm,
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN...


koee dil ke khel dekhe, ke muhabbato.n kee baazee,
SHOULD THE HEART’S FROLICS SOMEONE MIND, OR THE STAKES OF LOVE?

koee dil ke khel dekhe, ke muhabbato.n kee baazee,
SHOULD THE HEART’S FROLICS SOMEONE MIND, OR THE STAKES OF LOVE?

woh qadam qadam pe jeete, mai.n qadam qadam pe haaraa,
SHE WON AT EVERY PACE, I LOST OUT AT EVERY STEP,

rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm, mere ishq kaa, sitaaraa,
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN THE STAR OF MY LOVE,

rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm..,
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN....


yeh hamaaree badd-naseebee, jo nahee.n toh aur kyaa hai,
IF THIS ISN’T OUR MISFORTUNE, THEN WHAT IS IT?

yeh hamaaree badd-naseebee, jo nahee.n toh aur kyaa hai,
IF THIS ISN’T OUR MISFORTUNE, THEN WHAT IS IT?

yeh hamaaree badd-naseebee, jo nahee.n toh aur kyaa hai,
IF THIS ISN’T OUR MISFORTUNE, THEN WHAT IS IT?

ke ussee ke ho gaye hamm, jo na ho sakaa, hamaaraa.
FOR, WE GAVE OURSELF TO THE ONE, WHO COULDN’T BE OURS.

rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm, mere ishq kaa, sitaaraa,
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN THE STAR OF MY LOVE,

Rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm....
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN...


pa.de jab ghamo.n se paale, rahe miT ke miTne waale,
WHEN THE SORROWS SEIZED, DEVASTATED WERE THE ONES WHO UNDERWENT DEVASTATION.

pa.de jab ghamo.n se paale, rahe miT ke miTne waale,
WHEN THE SORROWS SEIZED, DEVASTATED WERE THE ONES WHO UNDERWENT DEVASTATION,

jise maut ne na poochhaa, usse zi.ndagee ne maaraa.
HE, WHOM THE DEATH DENIED, WAS KILLED BY LIFE.

rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm, mere ishq kaa sitaaraa,
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN THE STAR OF MY LOVE,

kabhee Dagmagaayee kashtee, kabhee kho gayaa, kinaaraa,
SOMETIMES THE BOAT ROCKED, SOMETIMES THE SHORE WAS LOST,

Rahaa gardisho.n me.n har damm....
ALWAYS UNFORTUNATE HAS BEEN...

Rafi Sahaab’s evergreen number: Naseeb Me.n Jis Ke Jo Likhaa Thaah...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:



Naseeb me.n jis ke jo likhaa thaah,
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN SOMEONE’S DESTINY

voh teree mehfil me.n kaam aayaa,
THAT CAME TO BE USED IN YOUR GATHERING,

Naseeb me.n, jis ke jo likhaa thaah,
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN SOMEONE’S DESTINY

voh teree mehfil me.n kaam aayaa,
THAT CAME TO BE USED IN YOUR GATHERING,

kisee ke hisse me.n pyaas aayee,
SOMEONE’S LOT WAS THE “THIRST”,

kisee ke hisse me.n jaam aayaa,

SOMEONE WAS ALLOTTED “WINE,”

naseeb me.n, jis ke jo likhaa thaah...
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN SOMEONE’S DESTINY...


mai.n ik fasaanaa hoo.n bekasee kaa,
MINE IS A STORY OF HELPLESSNESS,

yeh haal hai, meree zi.ndagee kaa,
THIS IS THE STATE OF MY LIFE...

mai.n ik fasaanaa, hoo.n bekasee kaa,
MINE IS A STORY OF HELPLESSNESS,

yeh haal hai, meree zi.ndagee kaa,
THIS IS THE STATE OF MY LIFE...

yeh haal hai meree zi.ndagee kaa,
THIS IS THE STATE OF MY LIFE:

na husn hee, mujh ko raas aayaa,
NEITHER THE BEAUTY APPEALED TO ME

na ishq hee mere kaam aayaa,
NOR DID LOVE ITSELF PROVE USEFUL TO ME,

naseeb me.n jis ke jo likhaa thaah ...
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN SOMEONE’S DESTINY...


badal gayee.n teree ma.nzile.n bhee,
YOUR DESTINATIONS ALSO CHANGED,

bichha.d gayaa, mai.n bhee kaarvaa.n se
I, TOO, STRAYED AWAY FROM THE CARAVAN,

badal gayee.n, teree ma.nzile.n bhee,
YOUR DESTINATIONS ALSO CHANGED,

bichha.d gayaa, mai.n bhee kaarvaa.n se,
I, TOO, STRAYED AWAY FROM THE CARAVAN,

bichha.d gayaa, mai.n bhee kaarvaa.n se,
I, TOO, STRAYED AWAY FROM THE CARAVAN,

teree muhabbat ke raaste me.n,
IN THE PATH OF YOUR LOVE

na jaane yeh kyaa maqaam aayaa,
WHO KNOWS WHAT STATION ARRIVED,

naseeb me.n jis ke jo likhaa thaah ...
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN SOMEONE’S DESTINY...


tujhe bhulaane ki koshishe.n bhee,
EVEN MY EFFORTS IN TRYING TO FORGET YOU

tamaam naakaam ho gayee.n hai.n,
HAVE ALL BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL,

tujhe bhulaane ki koshishe.n bhee,
EVEN MY EFFORTS IN TRYING TO FORGET YOU

tamaam naakaam ho gayee.n hai.n,
HAVE ALL BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL,

tamaam naakaam ho gayee.n hai.n,
ALL HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL,

kisee ne zikr-e-vafaa kiyaa jab,
WHEN SOMEONE BROACHED “FIDELITY,”

zubaa.n pe teraa hee naam aayaa,
ONLY YOUR NAME CAME TO BE SPOKEN,

Naseeb me.n, jis ke jo likhaa thaah,
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN SOMEONE’S DESTINY

voh teree mehfil me.n kaam aayaa,
THAT CAME TO BE USED IN YOUR GATHERING,

kisee ke hisse me.n pyaas aayee,
SOMEONE’S LOT WAS THE “THIRST”,

kisee ke hisse me.n jaam aayaa,
SOMEONE WAS ALLOTTED “WINE,”

naseeb me.n, jis ke jo likhaa thaah...
THAT WHICH WAS WRITTEN IN SOMEONE’S DESTINY...
