Presenting my 1042nd transcription & translation of Rafi Sahaab's Solos:

Movie: AAKHRI DAO (1975)

Maiden release: Naaz Cinema

Music:  Laxmikant-Pyarelal

Lyrics:  Hasrat Jaipuri

 Aisa na ho ke, in waadiyoN meN,

LEST IT HAPPENS THAT IN THESE VALLEYS

Main kho jaauuN,

I MAY GET LOST,

Aisa na ho ke, in waadiyoN meN,

LEST IT HAPPENS THAT IN THESE VALLEYS

Main kho jaauuN,

I MAY GET LOST,

Aur tum mujhe DhuunDha karo,

AND YOU KEEP ON SEARCHING FOR ME

Aur main kabhi mil na paauuN,

AND I’D NEVER BE FOUND!

Aisa na ho ke, in waadiyoN meN,

LEST IT HAPPENS THAT IN THESE VALLEYS 

Main kho jaauuN…

I MAY GET LOST…

AaiiN agar, mujh ko nazar,

IF I HAPPEN TO CATCH THE GLIMPSE

jhiiloN ke Jhilmil darpan meN tum,

OF YOU IN THE SHALLOWS’ SPARKLING MIRROR,

AaiiN agar, mujh ko nazar,

IF I HAPPEN TO CATCH THE GLIMPSE

jhiiloN ke Jhilmil darpan meN tum,

OF YOU IN THE SHALLOWS’ SPARKLING MIRROR,

Milne gale, jaauungaa main,

 I’LL REACH OUT TO EMBRACE YOU,

Ho jaauunga jalwoN meN gum,

LOSING MYSELF IN THE SPLENDOUR!

Aur tum mujhe aawaaz doh,

AND THOUGH YOU GIVE ME A HOLLER,

Laut kar, main na aauuN,

I MAY NOT COME BACK!

Aisa na ho ke, in waadiyoN meN,

LEST IT HAPPENS THAT IN THESE VALLEYS

Main kho jaauuN…

I MAY GET LOST… 

yeh dhundh kyaa, jaise dhuuaaN,

ABOUT THIS MIST, ‘TIS  LIKE VAPOUR

merii hii aahoN se, paida hua,

BEGOTTEN FROM MY OWN SIGHS,

yeh dhundh kyaa, jaise dhuuaaN,

ABOUT THIS MIST, ‘TIS LIKE VAPOUR

merii hii aahoN se, paida hua,

BEGOTTEN FROM MY OWN SIGHS,

Aashiq huuN main, wo dil jalaa,

A LOVER AM I, WITH THE HEART-INFLAMED,

Lekin tumiih pe shaida hua,

BUT DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH YOU,

Dekha karo chaaroN taraf,

DO LOOK IN FOUR DIRECTIONS

Aur main kahiiN chhip na jaauuN,

LEST I MAY HIDE SOMEWHERE!

 Aisa na ho ke, in waadiyoN meN,

LEST IT HAPPENS THAT IN THESE VALLEYS

Main kho jaauuN,

I MAY GET LOST,

Aur tum mujhe DhuunDha karo,

AND YOU KEEP ON SEARCHING FOR ME

Aur main kabhi mil na paauuN,

AND I’D NEVER BE FOUND!

Aisa na ho ke, in waadiyoN meN,

LEST IT HAPPENS THAT IN THESE VALLEYS 

Main kho jaauuN…

I MAY GET LOST…

Main kho jaauuN…

I MAY GET LOST…

Main kho jaauuN.

I MAY GET LOST.

TRANSLATED BY NASIR ALI

Translator’s Notes:  (1) “maang” literally refers to the parting of hair especially from the centre of the forehead.

(2) “maang bharnaa” = to apply the parting with vermillion, etc., to marry a woman. 

(3) *I have alternately translated “maang” as a synecdoche to represent it as “beloved”.

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!

Darte naheeN hai.N hamm, ishq ke anjaam se,

I’M NOT AFRAID OF THE OUTCOME OF LOVE!

aisaa lagtaa hai, ke ab hamm, gaye kaam se, 

IT SEEMS NOW I’M DONE FOR!

MY HEART THUMPS AT THE MENTION OF YOUR NAME,

aisaa lagtaa hai, ke ab hamm, gaye kaam se. 

IT SEEMS NOW I’M DONE FOR!

Dha-dha dha dhaRakne lagtaa hai. 

O YEAH, IT THUMPS!

Aur ziyaadah naa tarsaanaa tum, tum, tum…

THIS WORLD AND THE NEXT WILL BE IN MY POWER

jis ghaRee main unheN paaooNgaa,

THEN IN A PALANQUIN OF MOON AND SUN

Apne ghar par unheN laaooNgaa,
