voh marne se, nahee.n Darte
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE,


jinne, sabaq mohabbat waalaa seekhaa
THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,

THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,

aatee hai majnoo.n kee sadaa,
THE VOICE OF MAJNU RESOUNDS


ab tak yahee veeraano.n se,
THUS FROM THE WILDERNESS STILL,


jeene kee, baate.n naa karo,
DON’T SPEAK OF LIFE


hamm ishq ke deewaano.n se,
WITH LOVE-CRAZY PEOPLE LIKE US,


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE,


jinne, sabaq mohabbat waalaa seekhaa
THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE,


jinne, sabaq mohabbat waalaa seekhaa
THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte…
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE…


ishq me.n marnaa kyaa hai,
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO DIE IN LOVE?


kisee barbaad se poochhe koee,
LET SOMEONE ASK THIS OF AN OVERWHELMED PERSON!


sar dene se yaar milaa,
WITH SACRIFICE, BELOVED WAS FOUND!


farhaad se poochhe koee,
LET SOMEONE ASK FARHAD!


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE,


jinne, sabaq mohabbat waalaa seekhaa
THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE,


jinne, sabaq mohabbat waalaa seekhaa
THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte…
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE…


jaan gawaa.n kar ulfat me.n,
BY LOSING LIFE IN LOVE...


jaan gawaa.n kar ulfat me.n,
BY LOSING LIFE IN LOVE,


marte nahee.n marne waale,
THE DEAD DON’T DIE!


yaad rahe.nge duniya ko,
THE WORLD WILL REMEMBER


hamm jee se guzarne waale,
US WHO GAVE UP LIFE!


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE,


jinne, sabaq mohabbat waalaa seekhaa
THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE,

jinne, sabaq mohabbat waalaa seekhaa

THOSE WHO’VE LEARNT THE LESSON OF LOVE,


voh marne se, nahee.n Darte…
THEY AREN’T AFRAID TO DIE…

Rafi Sahaab’s version: Toone Meraa Yaar Naa Milaayaa...
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:


teree qudarat, teree tadbeer, mujhe kyaa maaloom,
ABOUT YOUR POWER, YOUR DELIBERATIONS, I WOULDN’T KNOW,

bantee hogee kahee.n taqdeer, mujhe kyaa maaloom,
THE FATE CAN BE MODIFIED FOR THE BETTER, I WOULDN’T KNOW,

Oh toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
HO YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n kyaa jaanoo.n teree, ye khudaaee,
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS GODLINESS OF YOURS?

ho toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
HO YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n dekh dekh phiraa, kuchh nishaa.n nahee.n miltaa,
I’VE BEEN SEARCHING ALL AROUND, NO SIGNS CAN I FIND,

teree zamee.n pe meraa, kaaravaa.n nahee.n miltaa,
ON YOUR EARTH, MY CARAVAN I CAN’T FIND,

jahaa.n me.n aane se pehle, jise milaayaa thaah,
BEFORE MY COMING TO THE WORLD, THE ONE YOU MADE ME MEET

kahaa.n gayaa voh meraa, mehrbaa.n nahee.n miltaa,
WHERE’S THAT PATRON OF MINE GONE, I CAN’T FIND,

Oh toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
OH YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

agar tuu chaahe toh, patthar ke dil ko pyaar mile,
IF YOU WILL IT, LOVE, THE STONY HEART MAY FIND,

khizaa.n ko ra.ng toh veeraane ko, bahaar mile,
AUTUMN MAY FIND SPLENDOUR, THE SPRING - THE DESOLATION MAY FIND,

yeh kyaa sitam hai, ke mai.n hee naa paa sakoo.n uss ko,
WHAT’S THIS TYRANNY WITH ME, THAT HER I’M UNABLE TO FIND,

ke jis ke milne se, dil ko mere qaraar mile,
ON WHOSE MEETING, THE SERENITY MY HEART MAY FIND,

Oh toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
OH YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n kyaa jaanoo.n teree, ye khudaaee,
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS GODLINESS OF YOURS?

YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n kyaa jaanoo.n teree, ye khudaaee,
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS GODLINESS OF YOURS?


bahaar-e-gham kaa mere, dast-e-naatwaa.n se uThaa
TAKE AWAY MY LUXURIANT SORROW FROM THE FEEBLE HANDS,

magar ye dooree kaa pardaa naa darmiyaa.n se uThaa,
BUT REMOVE NOT THIS VEIL OF DISTANCE THAT’S BETWEEN,

uThaa ye dooree kaa pardaa, jo tujh se mumkin ho,
LIFT UP THE VEIL OF DISTANCE, IF THAT’S POSSIBLE FOR YOU,

nahee.n toh aa ke mujhee ko, phir iss jahaa.n se uThaa~~,
OTHERWISE, COME AND TAKE ME AWAY FROM THIS WORLD,

AAA~~

Oh toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
OH YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n kyaa jaanoo.n teree, ye khudaaee
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS GODLINESS OF YOURS?

Oh toone meraa yaar ...
OH YOU! MY FRIEND...

toone meraa yaar
YOU! MY FRIEND...

toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n kyaa jaanoo.n teree, ye khudaaee,
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS GODLINESS OF YOURS?

Oh toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
OH YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n kyaa jaanoo.n teree, ye khudaaee
WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS GODLINESS OF YOURS?

Oh toone meraa yaar,
OH YOU! MY FRIEND...

toone meraa yaar,
YOU! MY FRIEND...

toone meraa yaar, na milaayaa
YOU DIDN’T GET MY FRIEND TO MEET ME,

mai.n kyaa jaanoo.n teree, ye khudaaee,
HOW CAN I ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR GODLINESS?

Oh toone meraa yaar.
OH YOU! MY FRIEND...
