Philosophical/Didactic Song of Rafi: Gham ne ha.sne naa diyaa....
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa,
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH,


zabt ne, rone naa diyaa,
FORTITUDE DIDN’T PERMIT ME TO WEEP,


isee uljhan ne, koee...
THE VERY CONFUSION,


isee uljhan ne, koee faislaa, hone naa diyaa,
THE VERY CONFUSION WOULDN’T ADMIT OF ANY DECISION TO BE MADE!


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa,
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH,


zabt ne, rone naa diyaa,
FORTITUDE DIDN’T PERMIT ME TO WEEP,


isee uljhan ne, koee faislaa, hone naa diyaa,
THE VERY CONFUSION WOULDN’T ADMIT OF ANY DECISION TO BE MADE!


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa...
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH...


Gham ke toofaa.n me.n,
IN THE STORM OF THE SORROWS,


kinaaraa toh hame.n, kyaa miltaa,
HOW COULD WE REACH THE SHORE!


Gham ke toofaa.n me.n,
IN THE STORM OF THE SORROWS,


kinaaraa toh hame.n, kyaa miltaa,
HOW COULD WE REACH THE SHORE!


na-Khudaa ne toh, safeenaa bhee, Dubone naa diyaa,
THE STEERSMAN DIDN’T PERMIT SINKING OF THE SHIP,


isee uljhan ne, koee faislaa, hone naa diyaa,
THE VERY CONFUSION WOULDN’T ADMIT OF ANY DECISION TO BE MADE!


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa...
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH...


teree poojaa bhee jo, kartaa toh mai.n, kaise kartaa,
EVEN IF I WERE TO VENERATE YOU, HOW COULD I!


teree poojaa bhee jo, kartaa toh mai.n, kaise kartaa,
EVEN IF I WERE TO VENERATE YOU, HOW COULD I!


ek motee bhee toh maalaa me.n,
NOT A SINGLE PEARL IN THE GARLAND


pirone naa diyaa,
WAS I ALLOWED TO STRING!


isee uljhan ne, koee faislaa, hone naa diyaa,
THE VERY CONFUSION WOULDN’T ADMIT OF ANY DECISION TO BE MADE!


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa...
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH...


kaisaa dastoor hai...
WHAT SORT OF A CUSTOM IT IS!


kaisaa dastoor hai duniya kaa
WHAT SORT OF A CUSTOM THE WORLD HAS,


Khudaa hee jaane,
GOD ALONE KNOWS!


log jee bhar ke ha.nse,
THE WORLD LAUGHS TO HEART’S CONTENT,


hamko toh rone naa diyaa,
AS FOR ME, I WASN’T ALLOWED TO WEEP!


isee uljhan ne, koee faislaa, hone naa diyaa,
THE VERY CONFUSION WOULDN’T ADMIT OF ANY DECISION TO BE MADE!


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa,
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH


zabt ne, rone naa diyaa,
FORTITUDE DIDN’T PERMIT ME TO WEEP,


isee uljhan ne, koee faislaa, hone naa diyaa,
THE VERY CONFUSION WOULDN’T ADMIT OF ANY DECISION TO BE MADE!


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa...
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH...


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa haa.nh...
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH...


Gham ne ha.nsne naa diyaa, haay...
THE SORROW DIDN’T ALLOW ME TO LAUGH, ALAS!

THE MOON BURNS LIKE MY HEART,BEARING THE STAINS,

Chaand jaltaa hai, mere dil kee, taraah daagh liye,
THE MOON BURNS LIKE MY HEART, BEARING THE STAINS,

Dil kee gheraayee se, rone kee, sadaa aayegee,
THE KEENING WILL BE HEARD FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE HEART,
