Lover-Boy Rafi goes Sufistically romantic in O MERE SHAHE KHOOBAA.N....
English Transliteration/Translation of the original lyrics:








O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST..

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...


Kab Khayaalo.n ki Dhoop Dhalti Hai
WHEN THE SUNLIGHT OF THOUGHTS DECLINES,

Har Qadam Par Shama Si Jalti Hai,
EVERY STEP LITS UP LIKE THE LAMP,

Mere Saaya Jidhar Bhi Jaata Hai
WHEREVER GOES MY SHADOW,

Teri Tasveer Saath Chalti Hai
YOUR PICTURE IT ACCOMPANIES.


O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST.

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...



Tum Ho Sehraa mei.n Tum Ho Gulistaa.n mei.n
IN THE DESERT YOU ARE, IN THE ROSE-GARDENS YOU EXIST,

Tum Ho Zarro.n mei.n, Tum Biyaabaa.n mei.n
IN THE ATOMS YOU ARE, IN THE WILDERNESS YOU EXIST,

Maine Tum Ko Kahaa.n Kahaa.n Dekha
ALL OVER I LOOKED FOR YOU,

Chhup Ke Rehte Ho Tum Rag-e-Jaa.n mei.n
STAYING HIDDEN IN THE JUGULAR VEIN YOU EXIST.


O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST..

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...


Meri Aankho.n ki Justajoo Tum Ho,
THE QUEST OF MY EYES YOU’RE

Iltaja Tum Ho, Arzoo Tum Ho
REQUEST YOU’RE, DESIRE YOU’RE,

Mai.n Kisi Aur ko Toh Kyaa Jaanu.n
WHAT DO I CARE TO KNOW ABOUT ANOTHER,

Meri Ulfat ki Aabru Tum Ho.
THE DIGNITY OF MY LOVE YOU’RE.


O Mere Shaah-e-Khoobaa.n
O MY FAIREST OF THE FAIR,

O Meri Jaan-e-Jaanaana
O MY SOUL OF SOULS,

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST..

Tum Mere Paas Hote Ho,
WHEN YOU ARE BESIDE ME,

Koi Doosra Nahi.n Hota
NOTHING ELSE EXIST...

14. Translation of Rafi Song: Aaja Re AA Zaraa AA...

From: Love in Tokyo (1966)
Music:Shankar-Jaikishen
Lyrics: Hasrat
English translation of Mohammed Rafi's song:

Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE,

Lehra ke aa zara
COME SWAYINGLY AWHILE,

Aankhon se dil mein samaa
FROM THE EYES ENTER THE HEART

Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE,


Dekh fiza mein
LOOK THE ENVIRONS

Rang bhara hai
ARE FULL OF COLOURS

Mere jigar ka
MY HEART’S

Zakhm hara hai
WOUND IS FRESH

Seene se mere
ON MY BOSOM

Sar ko laga de
REST YOUR HEAD

Haath mein tere
IN YOUR HAND

Dil ki dava hai
LIES THE HEART’S REMEDY.


Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE,

Lehra ke aa zara
COME SWAYINGLY AWHILE,

Aankhon se dil mein samaa
FROM THE EYES ENTER THE HEART

Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE…


Apna sulagna
MY PASSIONATE HEAT

Kisko dikhaaoun
WHOM SHOULD I REVEAL TO?

Saans ke toofan
THE STORMY BREATH

Kaise chhupaaoun
HOW SHOULD I CONCEAL?

Aankhen kya kya
ALL THAT THE EYES

Dekh rahi hain
ARE WATCHING ,

Dil pe jo guzre
WHAT THE HEART IS GOING THROUGH

Kaise bataaoun
HOW SHOULD I DIVULGE?


Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE,

Lehra ke aa zara
COME SWAYINGLY AWHILE,

Aankhon se dil mein samaa
FROM THE EYES ENTER THE HEART

Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE,


Tere bhi dil mein
YOUR HEART TOO

Aag lagi hai
IS ON FIRE,

Mere bhi dil mein
MY HEART TOO

Aag lagi hai
IS ABLAZE,

Dono taraf hai
BOTH THE SIDES

Ek si haalat
HAVE A SIMILAR CONDITION,

Dono dilon par
ON BOTH THE HEARTS

Bijli giri hai.
THE (LOVE’S) LIGHTNING HAS FALLEN


Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE,

Lehra ke aa zara
COME SWAYINGLY AWHILE,

Aankhon se dil mein samaa
FROM THE EYES ENTER THE HEART

Aaja re aa zara
COME HITHER AWHILE….
