Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the Urdu filmy Lyrics: 

phir aane lagaa yaad wohee,  pyaar kaa Aalam,

COMING TO MY MIND AGAIN IS THAT VERY PHASE OF LOVE,

THEN GRADUALLY, THAT PHASE OF DISCORD!

phir aane lagaa yaad wohee,  pyaar kaa Aalam,

COMING TO MY MIND AGAIN IS THAT VERY PHASE OF LOVE,  

[Female voice: pyaar kaa Aalam…

THE PHASE OF LOVE!]

voh jhoomtaa, balkhaataa,

THAT SWAYING, TWISTING 

Huwaa,  sarv-e-* KhiraamaaN, 

GRACEFUL MOTION OF THE BELOVED!

CAN I BE FORGETFUL OF YOUR PHASE OF NIMBLENESS!

phir aane lagaa yaad wohee,  pyaar kaa Aalam,

COMING TO MY MIND AGAIN IS THAT VERY PHASE OF LOVE,  

[Female voice: pyaar kaa Aalam…

WHEN WAS IT WHEN SHE CAME AND LEFT,  

kab aaye theh voh kab gaye,

WHEN WAS IT WHEN SHE CAME AND LEFT,

kab aaye theh voh kab gaye,

WHEN WAS IT WHEN SHE CAME AND LEFT,

kuchh yaad naheeN hai, 

I REMEMBER NOTHING!

aaNkhoN meN basaa hai vohee, deedaar kaa Aalam, 

LODGED IN THE EYES IS THAT VERY PHASE OF VISION!

phir aane lagaa yaad wohee,  pyaar kaa Aalam,

COMING TO MY MIND AGAIN IS THAT VERY PHASE OF LOVE, 

inkaar kaa Aalam kabhee

THE PHASE OF REFUSAL, SOMETIME 

iqraar kaa aalam,

THE PHASE OF CONSENT!

[Female voice: pyaar kaa Aalam…

THE PHASE OF LOVE!]

pyaar kaa Aalam…

THE PHASE OF LOVE!

[Female voice: pyaar kaa Aalam…

THE PHASE OF LOVE!]

Haay pyaar kaa Aalam…

OH, THE PHASE OF LOVE!

*Notes:1.  Sarv = Having a body graceful as the cypress. 
            2. Female Voice is that of Usha Khanna who sings just three words.  Hence, I have      treated this as Rafi's Solo.
