1052. Rafi's Peppy Song - merii biwi jahaaN se niraalii hai...

 

Movie: Subha-O-Shaam (1972)

Music: Laxmikant-Pyarelal

Lyrics: Anand Bakshi

Prima facie, the lyrics present a one-sided, male perspective on a troubled marriage, focusing on the husband’s feelings of being oppressed and harassed by his wife.  Despite this, the song serves as a comedic tease towards a character and is sung gustily by the Legendary Mohammed Rafi Sahab.

Original Lyrics transliterated and translated into English by NASIR ALI.

 

meree beewee jahaaN se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD IS MY WIFE,

jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai,
THE TYRANT HAS HARRIED MY LIFE!

meree beewee, jahaaN se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD IS MY WIFE,

jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai,

THE TYRANT HAS HARRIED MY LIFE!

duur rehtaa hooN maiN, paas jaataa naheeN,
STEERING CLEAR OF HER – THAT’S ME,

yeh toh naagin koii, kaalii kaalii hai,
SOME BLACK FEMALE COBRA is she!

meree beewee, jahaaN se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,

jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai...
THE TYRANT HAS HARRIED MY LIFE!

har ghaRii mujh se laRne, ko tayyar hai,
EVERY MOMENT SHE’S READY TO FIGHT ME,

har ghaRII mujh se laRne ko tayyar hai,
EVERY MOMENT SHE’S READY TO FIGHT ME,

meree taubaa yeh kitnee wafaadaar hai,
HEAVEN FORFEND, HOW SINCERE IS SHE!

yeh wafaadaar hai,
SINCERE IS SHE!

mujh ko jannat mile, yaa jahannum mile
WHETHER I FIND PARADISE OR HELL,

har jagaah, saath yeh, jaane waalee hai,
EVERY PLACE SHE’S GONNA ACCOMPANY ME!

meree beewee, jahaaN se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,

jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai...
THE TYRANT HAS HARRIED MY LIFE!

kehtee rehtee hai kyaa kyaa, naa jaane sadaa,
DON’T KNOW WHAT SHE BABBLES ALL THE TIME,

kehtee rehtee, hai kyaa kyaa, naa jaane sadaa,

DON’T KNOW WHAT SHE BABBLES ALL THE TIME,

suntaa rehtaa hooN maiN, is ke taane sadaa,
I KEEP ON HEARING HER TAUNTS ALL THE TIME,

is ke taane sadaa,
HER TAUNTS ALL THE TIME...

donoN rehte, haiN masroof yooN raat din,
NIGHT AND DAY BOTH OF US ARE SO BUSY

naa toh maiN Khaalee hooN, naa voh Khaalee hai,
NEITHER I’M FREE, NOR IS SHE!

meree beewee, jahaaN se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,

jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai...
THE TYRANT HAS HARRIED MY LIFE!

dekhtee hai mujhe is taraah, rooTh kar,
SHE LOOKS AT ME SO VEXEDLY,

dekhtee hai mujhe, is taraah rooTh kar,
SHE LOOKS AT ME SO VEXEDLY

roz reh jaataa hai, dil meraa TooT kar,
THAT IT SHATTERS MY HEART DAILY,

dil meraa TooT kar,
SHATTERS MY HEART…

kis se jaakar, maiN is kee, shikaayat karooN
WHO DO I APPROACH TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HER,

koee saalaa hai naa, koee saalee hai,
NO BROTHER SHE HAS, NOR A YOUNGER SISTER!

meree beewee, jahaaN se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,

jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai.
THE TYRANT HAS HARRIED MY LIFE!

Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:


meree beewee jahaa.n se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD IS MY WIFE,


jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai,
THE TORMENTER HAS EXTRACTED MY LIFE!


meree beewee, jahaa.n se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD IS MY WIFE,


jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai,
THE TORMENTER HAS EXTRACTED MY LIFE!


duur rehtaa hoo.n mai.n, paas jaataa nahee.n
I STAY AWAY, I DON’T GO NEAR HER,


yeh toh naagin koee, kaalee kaalee hai,
A SORT OF BLACK FEMALE COBRA SHE IS!


meree beewee, jahaa.n se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,


jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai...
THE TORMENTER HAS EXTRACTED MY LIFE!


har gha.Dee mujh se la.Dne, ko tayyar hai,
EVERY MOMENT SHE’S READY TO FIGHT ME,


har gha.Dee mujh se la.Dne ko tayyar hai,
EVERY MOMENT SHE’S READY TO FIGHT ME,


meree taubaa yeh kitnee wafaadaar hai,
HEAVEN FORFEND, HOW SINCERE SHE IS!


yeh wafaadaar hai,
SINCERE SHE IS!


mujh ko jannat mile, yaa jahannum mile
WHETHER I FIND PARADISE OR HELL,


har jagaah, saath yeh, jaane waalee hai,
SHE’S GOING TO ACCOMPANY ME TO EVERY PLACE!


meree beewee, jahaa.n se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,


jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai...
THE TORMENTER HAS EXTRACTED MY LIFE!


kehtee rehtee hai kyaa kyaa, naa jaane sadaa
WHO KNOWS WHAT ALL SHE ALWAYS KEEPS ON SAYING,


kehtee rehtee, hai kyaa kyaa, naa jaane sadaa,
WHO KNOWS WHAT ALL SHE ALWAYS KEEPS ON SAYING,


suntaa rehtaa hoo.n main, is ke taane sadaa,
ALWAYS HER TAUNTS I KEEP ON HEARING,


is ke taane sadaa,
ALWAYS HER TAUNT...


dono.n rehte, hai.n masroof yoo.n raat din,
THUS NIGHT AND DAY, BOTH OF US ARE BUSY,


naa toh mai.n Khaalee hoo.n, naa voh Khaalee hai,
NEITHER AM I FREE, NOR IS SHE FREE!


meree beewee, jahaa.n se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,


jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai...
THE TORMENTER HAS EXTRACTED MY LIFE!


dekhtee hai mujhe is taraah, rooTh kar,
SHE LOOKS AT ME WITH SUCH DISPLEASURE,


dekhtee hai mujhe, is taraah rooTh kar,
SHE LOOKS AT ME WITH SUCH DISPLEASURE,


roz reh jaataa hai, dil meraa TooT kar,
IT ALMOST BREAKS MY HEART DAILY,


dil meraa TooT kar,
ALMOST BREAKS MY HEART...


kis se jaakar, mai.n is kee,  shikaayat karoo.n
WHOM SHOULD I APPROACH TO LODGE HER COMPLAINT,


koee saalaa hai naa, koee saalee hai,
NEITHER BROTHER-IN-LAW NOR SISTER-IN-LAW HAVE I!


meree beewee, jahaa.n se, niraalee hai
POLES APART FROM THE WORLD, IS MY WIFE,


jaan zaalim ne, meree nikaalee hai.
THE TORMENTER HAS EXTRACTED MY LIFE!

To offer war where they should kneel for peace.
