Movie: RUT RANGEELI AAYI (1972)
Lyrics: Hasrat Jaipuri
Music: Ratandeep Hemraj

Rafi Sahaab’s Rare Gem: Koi Chal Diya Akela...

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



Koee chal diya akela,
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh, gayaa akela,
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE,

Koee chal, diya akela,
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh gayaa akela,
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE,

Arre zindagee ke maalik, tuune kyaa yeh khel khelaa,
O LORD OF THE LIFE, WHAT A GAME YOU’VE PLAYED!

Koee chal, diya akela,
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh gayaa akela....
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE...


Koee jal raha chita me.n,
ON THE FUNERAL PYRE BURNS SOMEONE,

Koee dil, jalaa rahaa hai,
SOMEONE’S BURNS THE HEART,

Koee hasrato.n ko lekar,
CARRYING HIS DESIRES, SOMEONE

kahee.n duur, jaa rahaa hai
IS GOING FAR AWAY SOMEWHERE,

Kahee.n hichkiyaa.n, ba.ndhee hai.n,
CONVULSIVE SOBBINGS CONTINUE SOMEWHERE,

Kahee.n aa.suuo.n ka mela,
SOMEWHERE THERE’S AN ASSEMBLAGE OF TEARS.


Koee chal, diya akela
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh, gayaa akela....
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE...


Jo bani theeh kal suhaagan,
SHE, WHO HAD BECOME NEWLYWED YESTERDAY,

Wahi aaj, hai abhaagan
THE SAME ONE’S BECOME UNFORTUNATE TODAY,

Yeh sitam, nahee.n toh kyaa hai,
IF ‘TIS NOT OPPRESSION, THEN WHAT IS?

Ke chhoota piyaa ka daaman,
FOR SHE LOST THE PROTECTION OF HER HUSBAND,

Arre aasmaan waale, teraa khoob hai jhamela,
O THE OWNER OF HEAVENS, WHAT A MESS YOU’VE!


Koee chal diya akela,
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh, gayaa akela...
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE...


Hai issee ka naam qismat,
THIS ALONE IS CALLED “KISMET”,

Koee zindgee se haaraa,
SOMEONE LOST AGAINST LIFE,

Lagee, har qadam pe thokar,
RECEIVING A KNOCK AT EVERY STEP,

Naa milaa, kahee.n sahaara,
GETTING NO SUPPORT ANYWHERE,

Kahee.n raat hai, andheree,
A GLOOMY NIGHT THERE’S SOMEWHERE,

Kahee.n saanjh kee hai belaa,
SOMEWHERE THERE’S AN EVEN-TIDE.

Koee chal, diya akela,
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh gayaa akela...
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE..

Arre zIndagi ke maalik, tuune kyaa yeh khel khelaa
O LORD OF THE LIFE, WHAT A GAME YOU’VE PLAYED!

Koee chal, diya akela,
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh gayaa akela,
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE,

Koee chal diya akela,
SOMEONE’S GONE AWAY ALL ALONE,

Koee reh, gayaa akela,
SOMEONE’S BEEN LEFT BEHIND ALL ALONE.

NASIR.


Two people dead, one's soul never to be complete
But who shall this awful story put to blame?
But of course, we all know this simple answer.
Obviously it's the Creator and his little Game.

Movie: Noor Jahan (1967)
Lyrics: Shakeel Badayuni
Music: Roshan

Rafi Sahaab's Rare Gift of a Song: Voh Mohabbat Voh Wafaayen....

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:



voh mohabbat voh wafaaye.n,
THAT LOVE, THAT DEVOTEDNESS,

kis taraah hamm bhool jaaye.n,
HOW CAN WE FORGET?

Ay gham-e-dil jee rahe hai.n,
O SORROWING HEART, WE’RE SURVIVING

tujh ko dekar hamm duaaye.n..
BY GIVING YOU OUR BLESSINGS,

voh mohabbat....
THAT LOVE...


jab se looTa gardisho.n ne,
EVER SINCE THE MISFORTUNE STRUCK

ishq tanhaa reh gayaa hai,
THE LOVER HAS REMAINED ISOLATED,

unki yaado.n ke alaava,
APART FROM HER MEMORIES

ab yahaa.n kya reh gayaa hai,
NOW WHAT ELSE REMAINS HERE?

ab yahaa.n kyaa reh gayaa hai..
NOW WHAT ELSE REMAINS HERE?

hamm se rooTha hai Khuda bhee,
EVEN GOD IS OFFENDED WITH US,

kis ko apna gham dikhaaye.n,
WHOM SHOULD WE DISCLOSE OUR SORROW?

voh mohabbat voh wafaaye.n,
THAT LOVE, THAT DEVOTEDNESS,

kis taraah hamm bhool jaaye.n,
HOW CAN WE FORGET?

voh mohabbat..
THAT LOVE.....


naam unka goo.njtaa hai,
HER NAME RESOUNDS

ab bhee dil ki dhadkano.n me.n,
EVEN NOW IN THE HEART-BEATS,

kaT rahee hai zindagaani,
LIFE IS PASSING

haay kitnee uljhano.n me.n,
ALAS, IN SUCH CONFUSION,

haay kitnee uljhano.n me.n..
ALAS, IN SUCH CONFUSION,

kaash khwaabo.n me.n voh aakar,
HOW I WISH, BY APPEARING IN THE DREAMS, SHE

haalat-e-dil dekh jaaye.n,
WERE TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THE HEART,

voh mohabbat voh wafaaye.n,
THAT LOVE, THAT DEVOTEDNESS,

kis taraah hamm bhool jaaye.n,
HOW CAN WE FORGET?

voh mohabbat..
THAT LOVE.....


chand aaho.n ka sahaara,
SUPPORTED WITH A FEW SIGHS,

chand ashqo.n par guzara,
SUBSISTING ON A FEW TEARS,

yeh bhee koyee zindagi hai,
WHAT SORT OF LIFE IS THIS

ay mere Parwardigaara,
O MY PROVIDER!

ay mere Parwardigaara,
O MY PROVIDER!

khud hee baksha pyaar tuune,
YOU YOURSELF BESTOWED LOVE,

khud hee hamm ko dee.n sazaaye.n,
YOU YOURSELF GAVE US PUNISHMENTS.

voh mohabbat voh wafaaye.n,
THAT LOVE, THAT DEVOTEDNESS,

kis taraah hamm bhool jaaye.n,
HOW CAN WE FORGET?

Ay gham-e-dil jee rahe hai.n,
O SORROWING HEART, WE’RE SURVIVING

tujh ko dekar hamm duaaye.n.
BY GIVING YOU OUR BLESSINGS.

NASIR.

Search for love, for it is the most important ingredient
of life. Without it, you life will echo emptiness. With it,
your life will vibrate with warmth and meaning. Even during
any hardship, love will shine through.
