Hmmm....hmmm...

Saathi na koi manzil,
NEITHER A COMPANION NOR ANY DESTINATION,

Cri de coeur of abandoned love as echoed in the plaintive voice of Rafi Sahaab: Hamm Pyaar me.n Dhokha khaa Baithe......


Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:



Wafa ke naam pe,
IN THE NAME OF FIDELITY

Kitne gunaah hote hai.n,
SO MANY SINS ARE COMMITTED,

WHO FALL INTO RUINS,

ALAS! OH!

Daaman me.n daagh laga baithe,
WE’VE SULLIED OUR REPUTATION,

Daaman me.n daagh laga baithe
WE’VE SULLIED OUR REPUTATION,

Hamm pyaar me.n, dhoka khaa baithe
WE GOT CHEATED IN LOVE,

Hamm pyaar me.n, dhokha kha baithe
WE GOT CHEATED IN LOVE,

Daaman me.n daagh lagaa baithe, Haay O haay.
WE’VE SULLIED OUR REPUTATION, ALAS! ALAS!


Chhoti see bhool jawaani ki
A MINOR SLIP OF YOUTH,

Chhoti see bhool jawaani ki
A MINOR SLIP OF YOUTH

Jo tum ko yaad na aayegi,
WHICH YOU WON’T CARE TO REMEMBER,

Is bhool ke taane de dekar
TAUNTING US FOR THIS SLIP

Duniya hamm ko ta.dpaayegee,
PEOPLE WOULD TORMENT US,

uTte hee nazaar jhuk jaayegi,
EVEN AS IT LOOKS UP, THE GLANCE WOULD LOOK DOWN WITH SHAME,

uTte hee nazar jhuk jaayegi, Oh~~~
EVEN AS IT LOOKS UP, THE GLANCE WOULD LOOK DOWN WITH SHAME, OH!

uTte hee, nazar jhuk jaayegi,
EVEN AS IT LOOKS UP, THE GLANCE WOULD LOOK DOWN WITH SHAME,

Aaj aisi, thokar khaaa baithe
SO BADLY DID WE STUMBLE TODAY,

Hamm pyaar me.n, dhoka khaa baithe
WE GOT CHEATED IN LOVE,

Daaman me.n daagh laga baithe Haay O haay.
WE’VE SULLIED OUR REPUTATION, ALAS, ALAS!


Chaahat ke liye jo rasmo.n ko...
FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE, THE CUSTOMS WHO

Chaahat ke liye jo rasmo.n ko,

Thukraa ke guzarne waale the,
WANTED TO TRAMPLE AND SWAY,

Jo saath hee jeene waale the,
WHO WAS TO COHABIT WITH US,

Aur saath hee marne waale the,
AND TOGETHER WHO WAS TO DIE,

Toofaa.n ke hawaale kar ke hame.n....,
LEAVING US TO THE STORM....

Toofaa.n ke hawaale kar ke hame.n, Oh~~~~
LEAVING US TO THE STORM, OH!

Toofaa.n ke, hawaale kar ke hame.n,
LEAVING US TO THE STORM

Khud duur, kinaare jaa baithe
HIMSELF WENT AND SAT FAR-END OF THE SHORE,

Hamm pyaar me.n, dhoka khaa baithe
WE GOT CHEATED IN LOVE,

Daaman me.n, daagh laga baithe Haay O haay.
WE’VE SULLIED OUR REPUTATION, ALAS, ALAS!


Lo aaj meri majboor wafaa,
NOW, MY CONSTRAINED CONSTANCY...

Lo aaj meri majboor wafaa,
NOW, MY CONSTRAINED CONSTANCY

Badnaam kahaani banne lagi,
WENT ON TO BECOME THE STORY OF DISREPUTE,

Jo prem nishaani payi thee,
THE LOVE’S TOKEN THAT I’D RECEIVED

Woh paap nishaani banne lagi,
WENT ON TO BECOME THE TOKEN OF SIN,

Dukh de ke hame.n jeevan bhar ka,
THRUSTING ON ME A LIFETIME OF SORROWS...

Dukh de ke hame.n jeevan bhar ka, Oh~
THRUSTING ON ME A LIFETIME OF SORROWS, ALAS!

Dukh de ke, hame.n jeevan bhar ka,
THRUSTING ON ME A LIFETIME OF SORROWS

Woh sukh ki, sej sajaa baithe
HE WENT ON TO REPOSE ON THE BED OF ROSES,

Hamm pyaar me.n, dhoka khaa baithe
WE GOT CHEATED IN LOVE,

Daaman me.n daagh laga baithe Haay O haay.
WE’VE SULLIED OUR REPUTATION, ALAS, ALAS!

Kaun Bhala Us Baagh Ko Poochhe,
WELL, WHO CARES FOR THAT GARDEN

Kaun Bhala Us Baagh Ko Poochhe,
WELL, WHO CARES FOR THAT GARDEN

GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Ke ab yeh desh huwa begaana
FOR ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW,

Chal Ud Ja, Re Panchhi

Rote Hain Woh Pankh Pakheru.... Saath Tere Jo Khele

PICKING UP BITS AND PIECES YOU ESTABLISHED A HEARTH AND HOME,

Toone Tinka Tinka Chunkar , Nagri Ek Basaai
PICKING UP BITS AND PIECES YOU ESTABLISHED A HEARTH AND HOME,

baarish mein teri, bheegi paankhein, Dhoop mein garmi khai
YOUR WINGS DRENCHED IN THE RAINS; IN THE SUN, WERE SCORCHED,

Gham na kar..
DON’T GRIEVE...

Gham Na Kar Jo, Teri Mehnat , Tere Kaam Na Aayi
DON'T GRIEVE THAT YOUR EFFORTS DIDN'T BEAR YOU FRUITS,

Achha Hai Kuchh Le Jaane Se, Dekar Hi Kuchh Jaana
RATHER THAN TAKING, IT'S WELL TO BESTOW SOMETHING WHILE LEAVING.

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Ke ab yeh desh huwa begaana
FOR ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW,

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE...
