“ I pass by these walls, the walls of Laila
And I kiss this wall and that wall
It’s not Love of the houses that has taken my heart
But of the One who dwells in those houses.”

Movie: ROOP LEKHA (1949)
Lyrics: Khumar Barabankvi
Music: Sajjad Hussain/Nisar Bazmi


Young Rafi''s Rare Gem: Teer Pe Teer Khaaye Jaa...

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

Teer pe teer khaaye jaa,
ARROWS AFTER ARROWS, GO ON RECEIVING,

Zulmo.n sitam, uThaaye jaa,
TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION – GO ON ENDURING,

Ay mere beqaraar dil geet, wafaa ke gaaye jaa.
THE SONGS OF FIDELITY, O MY RESTLESS HEART, GO ON SINGING,

Teer pe teer khaaye jaa,
ARROWS AFTER ARROWS, GO ON RECEIVING,

Zulmo.n sitam, uThaaye jaa,
TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION – GO ON ENDURING,

Ay mere beqaraar dil geet, wafaa ke gaaye jaa.
THE SONGS OF FIDELITY, O MY RESTLESS HEART, GO ON SINGING,

Khushee ghamo.n ke, andhere ko jagmaatee hai,
JOY BRIGHTENS UP THE GLOOMY SORROWS,

Khizaa.n ke baad, hameshaa bahaar aatee hai,
IF WINTER COMES, CAN SPRING BE FAR BEHIND?

Pyaar ke din bhee aayenge,
THE DAYS OF LOVE WILL ALSO BE COMING,

Hijr ke din, bitaaye jaa,
THE DAYS OF SEPARATION - GO ON PASSING,

Pyaar ke din, bhee aayenge,
THE DAYS OF LOVE WILL ALSO BE COMING,

Hijr ke din, bitaaye jaa,
THE DAYS OF SEPARATION – GO ON PASSING,

Teer pe teer khaaye jaa,
ARROWS AFTER ARROWS – KEEP ON RECEIVING,

Zulmo.n sitam, uThaaye jaa,
TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION – KEEP ON ENDURING,

Ay mere beqaraar dil geet, wafaa ke gaaye jaa.
THE SONGS OF FIDELITY, O MY RESTLESS HEART, GO ON SINGING,

Naa chho.d sabr ka, daaman koee yeh keh naa sake,
DON’T LET GO OF THE CLOAK OF PATIENCE, LEST SOMEONE MAY SAY

Ke chaar din bhee, mohabbat me.n ranj seh naa sake,
THAT WE COULDN’T ENDURE THE GRIEF IN LOVE EVEN FOR A FEW DAYS,

Jhel khushee se har sitam,
GLADLY SUBMIT TO EVERY INJURY,

Labb pe ha.nsee, basaaye jaa,
THE LAUGHTER ON THE LIP – GO ON KEEPING,

Jhel khushee, se har sitam,
GLADLY SUBMIT TO EVERY INJURY,

Labb pe ha.nsee, basaaye jaa,
THE LAUGHTER ON THE LIP – GO ON KEEPING,

Teer pe teer khaaye jaa,
ARROWS AFTER ARROWS – KEEP ON RECEIVING,

Zulmo.n sitam, uThaaye jaa,
TYRANNY AND OPPRESSION – KEEP ON ENDURING,

Ay mere beqaraar dil geet, wafaa ke gaaye jaa.
THE SONGS OF FIDELITY, O MY RESTLESS HEART, GO ON SINGING,

NASIR.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more
hurt, only more love. – Mother Teresa
