Philosophical/Didactic Song of Rafi: Taqdeer kahaa.n le jaayegee..
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:


taqdeer kahaa.n le jaayegee,
WHERE WILL FATE LEAD US?


maaloom nahee.n,
DON’T KNOW,


taqdeer kahaa.n le jaayegee,
WHERE WILL FATE LEAD US?


maaloom nahee.n,
DON’T KNOW,


lekin hai yaqee.n, aayegee manzil,
BUT I’M SURE, THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


aayegee manzil,
THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


taqdeer kahaa.n le jaayegee,
WHERE WILL FATE LEAD US?


maaloom nahee.n....
DON’T KNOW.


pairo.n ki thakan kehtee hai Thehar,
THE TIRED LEGS SAY, “HALT,”


mushkil hai Dagar lambaa hai safar,
DIFFICULT IS THE PATH; LONG IS THE JOURNEY,


pairo.n ki thakan kehtee hai Thehar,
THE TIRED LEGS SAY, “HALT,”


mushkil hai Dagar lambaa hai safar,
DIFFICULT IS THE PATH, LONG IS THE JOURNEY,


par dil kehtaa hai gardish bhee,
BUT THE HEART SAYS THAT EVEN THE WANDERING


aakhir toh kahee.n paho.nchaayegee,
WILL LEAD TO SOMEWHERE IN THE END,




lekin hai yaqee.n, aayegee manzil,
BUT I’M SURE THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


aayegee manzil,
THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


taqdeer kahaa.n le jaayegee,
WHERE WILL FATE LEAD US?


maaloom nahee.n....
DON’T KNOW...


hairat se naa tum dekho mujh ko,
DON’T WATCH ME IN AMAZEMENT


aur haal bhee meraa mat poochho,
AND DON’T EVEN ASK ME ABOUT MY STATE,


hairat se naa tum dekho mujh ko,
DON’T WATCH ME IN AMAZEMENT


aur haal bhee meraa mat poochho,
AND DON’T EVEN ASK ME ABOUT MY STATE,


ab meree tabeeyat baato.n se,
BY MEANS OF PARLEYS, MY TEMPERAMENT NOW


kuchh bhee na behelne paayegee,
WON’T BE AMUSED IN THE LEAST,


lekin hai yaqee.n, aayegee manzil,
BUT I’M SURE THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


aayegee manzil
THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


taqdeer kahaa.n le jaayegee,
WHERE WILL FATE LEAD US?


maaloom nahee.n
DON’T KNOW,


lekin hai yaqee.n, aayegee manzil,
BUT I’M SURE THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


aayegee manzil
THE DESTINATION WILL ARRIVE,


taqdeer kahaa.n le jaayegee,
WHERE WILL FATE LEAD US?


maaloom nahee.n.
DON’T KNOW.

Rafi Sahaab’s rare gem: Zindagi Mujh Ko Dikhade Raasta...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:




O~~ O~~ O~~

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa,
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa,
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa...
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY....


bojh gham kaa hai chalaa jaataa nahee.n,
LADEN WITH SORROW, I CAN BARELY WALK,

bekasee kaa dukh sahaa jaataa nahee.n,
THE GRIEF OF HELPLESSNESS I CAN HARDLY BEAR,

saaraa aalam ajnabee hai kyaa karoo.n,
THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE IS A STRANGER, WHAT TO DO?

uljhano.n me.n kuchh nazar aataa nahee.n,
AMONG CONFUSIONS, NOTHING SEEMS VISIBLE,

O~~~~

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa...
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY...

O~~~~O~~~O~~~~


mai.n kahee.n tham jaaoo.n yeh aadat nahee.n,
HALTING SOMEWHERE IS NOT MY HABIT,

haath phailaanaa meree fitrath nahee.n,
BEGGING IS NOT IN MY NATURE,

jab chalaa hoo.n mai.n toh ma.nzil paaoo.n gaa,
AS I’VE SET OUT, I’LL FIND THE DESTINATION,

mai.n nahee.n yaa phir meree qismat nahee.n
EITHER IT’S ME OR MY DESTINY,

O~~~
Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

Tujh ko meree hasrato.n kaa vaastaa,
I INVOKE YOU IN THE NAME OF MY DESIRES,

Zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa,
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY,

zindagi mujh ko dikhaa de raastaa...
O LIFE SHOW ME THE WAY....
