Just to remind our esteemed visitors:

This blog has the Roman transliteration and English translation of some One Hundred Romantic Songs of Rafi Sahaab in the beginning, i.e. from 1 to 100.

Beginning from 101, sad songs of Rafi Sahaab were translated. The song numbers are from 101 to 387. There are of course many more sad songs that remain to be translated. Owing to the lack of availability of those songs on the Net either in Utube or just audio, I have temporarily halted this process. I would not like to rely on the lyrics that are available since they do not write the refrains or repetitions of the lines that are actually sung.

Now in the next post, I would like to revert to the same transliteration and translation of some more Romantic Songs of Rafi Sahaab, God Willing.

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Ke ab yeh des huwa begaana
FOR ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW,

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Bhool Ja Ab Voh Mast Hava...
FORGET THAT BALMY BREEZE

Voh U.dna Daaali Daali,
THAT FLITTING FROM BRANCH TO BRANCH,


Bhool Ja Ab Voh, Mast Hava
FORGET THAT BALMY BREEZE

Voh, U.dna Daaali Daali
THAT FLITTING FROM BRANCH TO BRANCH,

Jag Ki Aankh Ka, Kaanta Ban Gayi Chaal Teri Matwali,
YOUR CHIRPY GAIT BECAME A THORN IN THE EYES OF THE WORLD

Kaun Bhala Us Baagh Ko Poochhe,
WELL, WHO CARES FOR THAT GARDEN

Kaun Bhala Us Baagh Ko Poochhe,
WELL, WHO CARES FOR THAT GARDEN

Ho Na Jiska Maali
THAT HAS NO GARDNER?

Teri Qismat Mein Likha Hai, Jeete Ji Mar Jaana
‘TIS WRITTEN IN YOUR DESTINY: TO DIE A LIVING DEATH.

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Ke ab yeh desh huwa begaana
FOR ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW,

Chal Ud Ja, Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE


Rote Hain Woh Pankh Pakheru.... Saath Tere Jo Khele
RUEFUL ARE THE WINGED BIRDS – YOUR PLAY-MATES

Rote Hain Woh Pankh Pakheru.... Saath Tere Jo Khele
RUEFUL ARE THE WINGED BIRDS – YOUR PLAY-MATES

Jinke Saath Lagaye Toone, Armaano.n Ke Mele,
WITH WHOM YOU SHARED CARNIVALS OF DESIRES,

Bheegi Ankhiyon Se Hi Unki, Aaj Duaay.n Le Le
FROM THEIR TEARFUL EYES AT LEAST ACCEPT THEIR BLESSINGS TODAY,

Kisko Pata Ab Is Nagri Mei.n, Kab Ho Tera Aana,
NOW WHO KNOWS WHEN YOU’LL BE BACK IN THIS TOWN.

Chal Ud Ja, Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Ke ab yeh desh huwa begaana
FOR ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW,

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE...

AAAA~~~~~~~~~~~~~O~~~~~~~~~~O O O~~~~~~~~

PART III

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Ke ab yeh des huwa begaana
FOR ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW,

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE


Toone Tinka Tinka Chunkar , Nagri Ek Basaai
PICKING UP BITS AND PIECES YOU ESTABLISHED A HEARTH AND HOME,

Toone Tinka Tinka Chunkar , Nagri Ek Basaai
PICKING UP BITS AND PIECES YOU ESTABLISHED A HEARTH AND HOME,

baarish mein teri, bheegi paankhein, Dhoop mein garmi khai
YOUR WINGS DRENCHED IN THE RAINS; IN THE SUN, WERE SCORCHED,

Gham na kar..
DON’T GRIEVE...

Gham Na Kar Jo, Teri Mehnat , Tere Kaam Na Aayi
DON'T GRIEVE THAT YOUR EFFORTS DIDN'T BEAR YOU FRUITS,

Achha Hai Kuchh Le Jaane Se, Dekar Hi Kuchh Jaana
RATHER THAN TAKING, IT'S WELL TO BESTOW SOMETHING WHILE LEAVING.

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE

Ke ab yeh desh huwa begaana
FOR ALIEN IS THIS HOMELAND NOW,

Chal Ud Ja Re Panchhi
GO FLY AWAY BIRDIE...

From these broken days of anguish, some day soon I'm gonna rise, / I'm gonna raise my head to Heaven, I'm gonna fly the starry skies. (Donovan)

102. Translation of Sad Song of Rafi: Keh Ke Bhi Na Aaye Tum..

From: SAFAR (1946)
Music: C. Ramchandra
Lyrics: Gopal Singh Nepali


Forlorn Rafi singing: Kah Ke Bhi Na Aaye Tum...

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original lyrics:


kah ke bhi na aaye tum
EVEN AFTER CONFIRMATION, YOU DIDN’T COME,

ab chhupane lage taare
NOW THE STARS HAVE STARTED TO HIDE,

dil le ke tumhee.n jeete
YOU ONLY WON BY BEARING AWAY MY HEART,

dil de ke hamee.n haare
ONLY I LOST BY GIVING AWAY MY HEART.


hamm aas kiye jaate
HOPE WAS WHAT I WENT ON

tum paas nahi.n aate
YOU WOULDN’T COME NIGH

jaana tha chale jaate
IF YOU NEEDED TO GO YOU COULD’VE AS WELL GONE

milane tau chale aate
AT LEAST YOU SHOULD’VE GOT TOGETHER,


kah ke bhi na aaye tum
EVEN AFTER CONFIRMATION, YOU DIDN’T COME,

ab chhupane lage taare
NOW THE STARS HAVE STARTED TO HIDE,

dil le ke tumhee.n jeete
YOU ONLY WON BY BEARING AWAY MY HEART,

dil de ke hameen haare
ONLY I LOST BY GIVING AWAY MY HEART


hamne tha tumhe.n maana
WE HAD HIGH REGARDS FOR YOU,

tumne hi na pehachaana
IT’S YOU WHO DIDN’T DISCERN,

jab hona tha begaana
IF YOU’D TO BECOME A STRANGER,

tab kyon kiya deewaana
THEN WHY YOU MADE ME CRAZY.


kah ke bhi na aaye tum
EVEN AFTER CONFIRMATION, YOU DIDN’T COME,

ab chhupane lage taare
NOW THE STARS HAVE STARTED TO HIDE,

dil le ke tumhee.n jeete
YOU ONLY WON BY BEARING AWAY MY HEART,

dil de ke hamee.n haare
ONLY I LOST BY GIVING AWAY MY HEART.


Sunsaan huee.n galiyaan
SILENT ARE THE LANES,

Sab sookh gaee.n kaliyaan
DRIED UP ARE ALL THE BUDS,

ab beeth chalee.n ghadiyaa.n
THE MOMENTS ARE NOW FLEETING,

par jaag rahee.n ankhiyaa.n
BUT THE EYES ARE AWAKE.


kah ke bhi na aaye tum
EVEN AFTER CONFIRMATION, YOU DIDN’T COME,

ab chhupane lage taare
NOW THE STARS HAVE STARTED TO HIDE,

dil le ke tumhee.n jeete
YOU ONLY WON BY BEARING AWAY MY HEART,

dil de ke hamee.n haare
ONLY I LOST BY GIVING AWAY MY HEART.

93. Rafi's Romantic Song: Teri Aankh Jo Ishaara Na Hota...

From: Nai Roshni (1967)
Lyrics: Rajinder Krishen
Music: Ravi




Teri Aankh Ka Jo, Ishaaara Na Hota...
HAD THERE BEEN NO SIGNAL OF YOUR EYES

Teri Aankh Ka Jo, Ishaaara Na Hota...
HAD THERE BEEN NO SIGNAL OF YOUR EYES

Tau Bismil Kabhi, Dil Hamaara Na Hota
OUR HEART WOULD'VE NE'ER SURRENDERED.

Teri Aankh Ka Jo, Ishaaara Na Hota...
HAD THERE BEEN NO SIGNAL OF YOUR EYES

Tau Bismil Kabhi, Dil Hamaara Na Hota
OUR HEART WOULD'VE NE'ER SURRENDERED.

Teri Aankh Ka....
YOURS EYES


Agar Phool Teri, Hansi Na Churaate
HAD THE FLOWERS NOT STOLEN YOUR MIRTH

Tau Bechaare Bagho ke Dil Toot Jaate,
THE POOR GARDENS' HEART WOULD'VE BEEN BROKEN.

Agar Phool Teri, Hansi Na Churaate,
HAD THE FLOWERS NOT STOLEN YOUR MIRTH

Tau Bechaare , Bagho ke Dil Toot Jaate,
THE POOR GARDENS' HEART WOULD'VE BEEN BROKEN.

Chaman ki Yeh Mehfil, Na Aabaad Hoti
THIS GATHERING IN THE GARDEN WOULD'NT HAVE FLOURISHED

Chaman ki Yeh Mehfil, Na Aabaad Hoti
THIS GATHERING IN THE GARDEN WOULD'NT HAVE FLOURISHED

Bahaaro.n Ka, Aysa Nazaara Na Hota
SUCH BLOOMS WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SIGHTED.

Teri Aankh Ka Jo, Ishaaara Na Hota...
HAD THERE BEEN NO SIGNAL OF YOUR EYES

Tau Bismil Kabhi, Dil Hamaara Na Hota
OUR HEART WOULD'VE NE'ER SURRENDERED.

Teri Aankh Ka....
YOURS EYES


Na Hote Agar, Gesuo.n ke Yeh Saaye,
HAD THERE BEEN NO SHADES OF THESE TRESSES,

Kahaa.n Jaate Hamm, Chot Dil Ki Dabaaye,
WHITHER WOULD WE’VE GONE TO CONCEAL OUR BRUISED HEART?

Na Hote Agar, Gesuo.n ke Yeh Saaye
HAD THERE BE NO SHADES OF THESE TRESSES,

Kahaa.n Jaate Hamm, Chot Dil Ki Dabaaye,
WHITHER WOULD WE’VE GONE TO CONCEAL OUR BRUISED HEART?

Muhabbat Ka Raahi, Bhatakta Hee Rehta
THE LOVE’S WAYFARER WOULD'VE KEPT ON WANDERING,

Muhabbat Ka Raahi, Bhatakta Hee Rehta
THE LOVE’S WAYFARER WOULD'VE KEPT ON WANDERING,

Teri Zulf Ka, Jo Sahaara Na Hota
HAD THERE BEEN NO SUPPORT OF YOUR LOCKS.

Teri Aankh Ka Jo, Ishaaara Na Hota...
HAD THERE BEEN NO SIGNAL OF YOUR EYES

Tau Bismil Kabhi Dil Hamaara Na Hota
OUR HEART WOULD'VE NE'ER SURRENDERED.

Teri Aankh Ka....
YOURS EYES


Tera Saath Hai Tau, Safar Hai Suhaana
AS WE HAVE YOUR COMPANY, THE JOURNEY IS PLEASANT,

Teri Hee, Badaulat Hasee.n Hai Zamaana
BECAUSE OF ONLY YOU, LOVELY IS THE PASSING TIME,

Tera Saath Hai Tau, Safar Hai Suhaana
AS WE HAVE YOUR COMPANY , THE JOURNEY IS PLEASANT,

Teri Hee, Badaulat Hasee.n Hai Zamaana
BECAUSE OF ONLY YOU, LOVELY IS THE PASSING TIME,

Agar Haath Mein Tera, Daaman Na Aata
IF WE HADN’T SOUGHT YOUR SHELTER

Agar Haath Mein Tera, Daaman Na Aata
IF WE HADN’T SOUGHT YOUR SHELTER,

Kahi.n Bhi Hamaara, Guzaara Na Hota
NOWHERE COULD WE'VE SUBSISTED.

Teri Aankh Ka Jo, Ishaaara Na Hota...
HAD THERE BEEN NO SIGNAL OF YOUR EYES

Tau Bismil Kabhi, Dil Hamaara Na Hota
OUR HEART WOULD'VE NE'ER SURRENDERED.

Teri Aankh Ka....
YOURS EYES

From: DHARTI (1970)
Lyrics: Rajendar Krishen
Music: Shankar-Jaikishen


Romantic Rafi singing about the unique beauty of his beloved: Khuda Bhi Aasmaan Se...

Transliteration/Translation of the original lyrics:



Khuda bhi Aasmaa.n se Jab Zamee.n par Dekhta Hoga
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS MUST BE PEEKING AT THE EARTH,

Khuda bhi Aasmaa.n se Jab Zamee.n par Dekhta Hoga
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS MUST BE PEEKING AT THE EARTH,

Mere Mehboob ko Kisne Banaaya Sochta Hoga
WHO CREATED MY SWEETHEART, HE MUST BE WONDERING,

Khuda bhi Aasmaa.n se Jab Zamee.n par Dekhta Hoga
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS MUST BE PEEKING AT THE EARTH,

Khuda bhi aasmaa.n se
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS…..


Musavvir Khud Pareshaa.n Hai Ke Yeh Tasveer Kiski Hai
THE PAINTER HIMSELF IS PERPLEXED WHOSE PICTURE IS THIS,

Banogi Jiss ki Tum Aisi Hasee.n Taqdeer Kiski Hai
WHO IS THE EXCEEDINGLY LUCKY GUY TO WHOM YOU MAY BELONG?

kabhi woh jal raha hoga kabhi khush ho raha hoga
ENVIOUS SOME TIMES, HAPPY AT TIMES HE MUST BE.


Khuda bhi Aasmaa.n se Jab Zamee.n par Dekhta Hoga
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS MUST BE PEEKING AT THE EARTH,

Mere Mehboob ko Kisne Banaaya Sochta Hoga
WHO CREATED MY SWEETHEART, HE MUST BE WONDERING,

Khuda bhi aasmaa.n se
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS…..



Zamaane-Bhar ki Masti Ko Nigaaho.n mein Sameta Hai
EXHILIRATION OF AN ENTIRE ERA HAS GATHERED IN THE EYES

Kali Se Jism ko Kitni Bahaaro.n mein Lapeta Hai
THE BUD-LIKE BODY HAS BEEN WRAPPED IN SO MANY BLOSSOMS

Hua Tumsa Koi Pehle Na Koi Doosra Hoga
THERE NEVER WAS, NOR WILL THERE BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU.


Khuda bhi Aasmaa.n se Jab Zamee.n par Dekhta Hoga
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS MUST BE PEEKING AT THE EARTH,

Mere Mehboob ko Kisne Banaaya Sochta Hoga
WHO CREATED MY SWEETHEART, HE MUST BE WONDERING,

Khuda bhi aasmaa.n se
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS…..


Farishtey bhi Yahaa.n Raato.n ko Aa Kar Ghoomte Honge
THE ANGELS TOO MUST BE ROAMING AROUND HERE AT NIGHTS,

Jahaa.n Rakhti Ho Tum Paanv Jageh Woh Choomte Honge
WHERE YOU PLACE YOUR FEET, THOSE PLACES THEY MUST BE KISSING,

Kisi ke dil pe kya guzri yeh wohi jaanta hoga
WHAT SOMEONE’S HEART SUFFEERED, ONLY HE MUST BE KNOWING.


Khuda bhi Aasmaa.n se Jab Zamee.n par Dekhta Hoga
WHEN GOD TOO FROM THE HEAVENS MUST BE PEEKING AT THE EARTH,

Mere Mehboob ko Kisne Banaaya Sochta Hoga
WHO CREATED MY SWEETHEART, HE MUST BE WONDERING,

Khuda bhi aasmaa.n se

Thus with my Heart...

PALAT AATI.N HAIN.. MAUJE.N JIS TARAAH,
Like the Waves Coming Back

TAKRAA KE .....SAAHIL SE......
After Dashing the the Shore


DIL RUBA MAINE TERE, PYAAR MEIN KYA KYA NA KIYA,
Heart-Stealer, what all did I commit in your Love

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

KABHI PHOOLO.N MEIN GUZAARI,
Among the Flowers I lived Some times,

KABHI KAANTO.N MEIN JIYA,
Sometimes among the Thorns I dwelt,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA...
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain...


ZINDAGI AAJ BHI HAI,
Still there’s Life Today,

BEKHUDI AAJ BHI HAI,
Likewise there’s the Exhilaration,

PYAAR KEHTE HAIN JISE,
That which is called “Love”

WOH KHUSHI AAJ BHI HAI,
That Happiness is there as well,

MAINE DIN RAAT MUHABBAT KA TERI JAAM PIYA,
Day and Night I imbibed your Wine of Love..

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA...
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain....


KYA KAHOON TERE LIYE,
What to say, for You

MAINE AANSOON BHI PIYE,
I even drank the Tears,

KABHI KHAAMOSH RAHA,
Remaining Stoic Sometimes,

KABHI SHIQWE BHI KIYE,
Sometimes I even complained,

KAR LIYA CHAAQ GAREBAA.N KABHI DAAMAN KO SIYA,
Tore off my cloak, Putting Stitches in the Garment Sometimes.

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL RUBA MAINE TERE, PYAAR MEIN KYA KYA NA KIYA,
Heart-Stealer, what all did I commit in your Love

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA...
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,


PYAAR KI JAAN HAI TU,
Love’s Life You’re,

DIL KA ARMAAN HAI TU,
You’re the Heart’s Desire

KAUN DUNIYA SE DARRE,
Who’s Afraid of the World

JAB NIGHE BAAN HAI TU,
When You’re the Protector,

AP NI KASHTI KO SAHAARE PE TERE CHHO.D DIYA,
My Ship I’ve left under your Patronage.

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL RUBA MAINE TERE, PYAAR MEIN KYA KYA NA KIYA,
Heart-Stealer, what all did I commit in your Love

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

DIL DIYA DARD LIYA,
Ceded the Heart, Accepted the Pain,

KABHI PHOOLO.N MEIN GUZAARI,
Among the Flowers I lived Some times,

KABHI KAANTO.N MEIN JIYA,

WHOEVER GETS SUCH A BEAUTY AS YOURSELF,

Us ki Tau Haalat

jeene de chaahe,

tuu maar Daale,

LET ME LIVE, OR

DO ME TO DEATH,

tere haathon meN Ab,

meri jaan hai

IN YOUR HANDS NOW

IS MY LIFE!
