jis maa ne hameN hai janam diyaa,
THE MOTHER WHO GAVE US BIRTH,

us maa kii agar,  ho jaye dayaa,
IF WE RECEIVE THAT MOTHER' BLESSINGS, 

jis maa ne hameN…
THE MOTHER WHO GAVE US….

jis maa ne hameN hai janam diyaa,
THE MOTHER WHO GAVE US BIRTH,

us maa kii agar,  ho jaye dayaa,
IF WE RECEIVE THAT MOTHER'S BLESSINGS, 

Mit jaaye andheraa, aaye saweraa,
DARKNESS WILL TERMINATE, MORNING WILL DAWN, 

aasha rakh jeewan meN, 
HAVE HOPE IN LIFE!

saaNchi ho lagan, jo mann meN,
IF THE PASSION IN THE HEART BE TRUE,

dukh dard miTe pal chhin meN.   
THE SORROW AND PAIN WILL END INSTANTLY!

DON’T GO MY COMPANION, DON’T GO...

aisee ek aag jagegee,
SUCH A FIRE WILL BE ROUSED,

aisee ek aag jagegee,
SUCH A FIRE WILL BE ROUSED,

dunyaa shamshaan lagegee,
THE WORLD WILL LOOK LIKE A CREMATORIUM,

taare angaare honge,
THE STARS WILL BE CINDERS,

dhartee kee rooh jalegee,
EARTH’S SOUL WILL CATCH FIRE,

phoolo.n ka rangg u.degaa,
FLOWERS WILL LOSE COLOUR,

ambar ka chaand chhupegaa,
HIDDEN WILL BE THE HEAVEN’S MOON,

tere bin jeevan saathee,
O MY LIFE’S COMPANION! WITHOUT YOU

jeevan ka deep bujhegaa,
THE LAMP OF LIFE WILL EXTINGUISH,

naa jaa mere saathee naa jaa,
DON’T GO MY COMPANION, DON’T GO,

naa jaa mere saathee naa jaa,
DON’T GO MY COMPANION, DON’T GO,

DON’T GO MY COMPANION, DON’T GO...

aisaa toofaan uThegaa,

aisaa toofaan uThegaa,
SUCH A STORM WILL BREAK OUT,

jhanjhan baadal garjegaa,
THE CLOUD WILL RATTLE,

ka.d ka.d bijlee ka.dkegee,
THE LIGHTNING WILL CRACK,

saaraa sansar jalegaa,
THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL BURN,

yeh dil ab zahar piyegaa
THIS HEART WILL NOW DRINK POISON,

tere bin kaun jiyegaa,
WHO’S GONNA LIVE WITHOUT YOU!

toota jab jeevan dhaaga,
WHEN THE LIFE’S THREAD IS BROKEN,

kaise koee zakhm siyegaa,
HOW WILL ANYONE STITCH THE WOUND!

naa jaa mere saathee naa jaa,
DON’T GO MY COMPANION, DON’T GO,

naa jaa mere saathee naa jaa,
DON’T GO MY COMPANION, DON’T GO,

naa jaa mere saathee naa jaa.
DON’T GO MY COMPANION, DON’T GO!

Rafi Sahaab’s Rare Gem: Sarangaa Teree Yaad Me.n.....

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Hindi Lyrics:

Saarangaa teree yaad me.n ,
WHILE REMINISCING ABOUT YOU O SARANGA,

Nayn huwe bechayn,
THE EYES HAVE BECOME RESTLESS,

IN THE ABSENCE OF THE PLEASANT UNION WITH YOU

Din kaTte nahee.n rayn,
NEITHER THE DAYS PASS, NOR THE NIGHTS,

Madhuban ke madhu kunj me.n,
IN THE SUGARY BOWER OF THE HONEYED FOREST

Chalat birhaa sameer,

BaaT takoo.n teree mai.n priye,
I AWAIT YOUR ARRIVAL O SWEETHEART

Jal jamuna ke teer.
ON THE BANKS OF THE RIVER YAMUNA.
