Rafi Reviving Dying Love: Muhabbat Zinda Rehti Hai...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:



khol aa.nkhe.n, apne khawaab-e-naaz se,
OPEN UP YOUR EYES FROM YOUR GRACEFUL DREAM,

jaag mere, pyaar kee, aawaaz se
WAKE UP BY THE VOICE OF MY LOVE,

Zindagi, betaab hai, tere liye,
LIFE IS ANXIOUS FOR YOU,

aa gale, lag jaa usee, andaaz se
COME, EMBRACE ME IN THE SAME MANNER.


muhabbat zindaa rehtee hai,
LOVE LIVES ON,

muhabbat mar nahee.n saktee,
LOVE CAN’T DIE,

ajee insaan kyaa ye tau, Khuda se Dar nahee.n saktee,
WHAT TO SPEAK OF MAN, IT CAN’T BE AFRAID OF EVEN GOD,

muhabbat zindaa rehtee hai,
LOVE LIVES ON,

muhabbat mar nahee.n saktee.
LOVE CAN’T DIE.

ye keh doh, maut se jaakar ke ik, deewaanaa kehtaa hai,
GO AND TELL THIS TO DEATH THAT AN INSANE- LOVER SAYS...,

ye keh doh....,
TELL THIS...

ke ik deewaanaa kehtaa hai,
THAT AN INSANE-LOVER SAYS...,

koi deewaanaa kehtaa hai
SOME INSANE-LOVER SAYS:

meri ruh-e-, muhabbat mujh se pehle, mar nahee.n saktee,
THE ‘SOUL-OF- MY- LOVE’ CAN’T DIE BEFORE I DO

muhabbat zindaa rehtee hai,
LOVE LIVES ON,

muhabbat mar nahee.n saktee.
LOVE CAN’T DIE.


chalee aa, o meri jaan-e-tamannaa,
COME OVER O LIFE- OF- MY- DESIRE

dil ki mehfil me.n
TO THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEART,

chalee aa,
COME OVER...

chalee aa......., chalee aa.....,
COME OVER, COME OVER,

chalee aa dil ki mehfil me.n,
COME OVER TO THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEART

meri jaa.n dil ki mehfil me.n,
MY LOVE, TO THE ASSEMBLY OF THE HEART,

tu mujh se duur ho ulfat, ga.nwaaraa kar nahee.n saktee,
THAT YOU BE FAR AWAY FROM ME, THE LOVE CAN’T TOLERATE.

muhabbat zindaa rehtee hai,
LOVE LIVES ON,

muhabbat mar nahee.n saktee,
LOVE CAN’T DIE,

ajee insaan kyaa ye tau, Khuda se Dar nahee.n saktee,
WHAT TO SPEAK OF MAN, IT CAN’T BE AFRAID OF EVEN GOD,

Chalee Aa...., Chalee Aa...,
COME OVER...., COME OVER....,

Chalee Aa...., Chalee Aa...,
COME OVER...., COME OVER...,

Chalee Aa....
