Philosophical/Didactic Song of Rafi: A rare vintage: Saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko....
Roman Transliteration/English Translation of the original Urdu-Hindi Lyrics:

saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko,
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP,


saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko,
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP


saahil kee tamanna kaun kare,
WHO’LL DESIRE THE SHORE!


saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko,
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP



araam naa ho jis  manzil par
THE HOME THAT HAS NO  REST, 


manzil ki tamanna kaun kare,
WHO WILL DESIRE THE HOME!


saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko...
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP…


jab dukh hee dukh ho duniyaa me.n,
WHEN THERE’S GRIEF AND SORROW IN THE WORLD,


roto.n pe haste mehfil me.n,
THE GATHERING THAT MOCKS THOSE WHO WEEP,


duniyaa se mohabbat kis ko ho,
WHO’LL LOVE THE WORLD,


mehfil kee tamanna kaun kare
WHO’LL DESIRE THE GATHERING!


saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko…
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP…


jab jaal bichhaa ho gulshan me.n,
WHEN A TRAP’S BEEN LAID OUT IN THE GARDEN,


aur kaa.nTe uljhe.n daaman me.n,
AND THE THORNS ENTANGLE THE GARMENT’S SKIRT,


us baagh kee khwaahish kaun kare,
WHO’LL DESIRE THAT GARDEN!


us gul kee tamanna kaun kare
WHO’LL DESIRE THAT FLOWER!


saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko…
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP…


ummeed miTee, dil TooT gayaa
HOPES SHATTERED, THE HEART BROKE,


voh shamma bujhee voh dil naa rahaa,
THAT LAMP EXTINGUISHED, THAT HEART’S NO MORE,


TooTe huwe dil se hastee huwee
FROM THE BROKEN HEART, A MIRTHFUL


mehfil kee tamanna kaun kare
GATHERING, WHO’LL DESIRE!


saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko,
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP,


saahil kee tamanna kaun kare
WHO’LL DESIRE THE SHORE!


saahil jo Dabo de kashtee ko.
THE SHORE THAT SINKS THE SHIP.

Translation of some more Romantic Songs of Rafi.

Image by Kuzeytac via Flickr

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.

Ik din ik armaan bharaa dil, Ulfat se doh-chaar huwaa

Ik din ik armaan bharaa dil,

Ek nayee dunyaa jo dekhee, Us dunyaa se pyaar huwaa,
AS HE SAW A NEW WORLD, HE LOVED THAT WORLD,

Ik din, ik armaan bharaa dil.
ONE DAY A HEART FULL OF DESIRE...


Hans kar kaan me.n aashaa bolee yeh sab dunyaa, teree hai,
THE HOPE LAUGHINGLY TOLD HIM IN HIS EAR, “ALL THIS WORLD IS YOURS”,

Tere liye hee zindagee maine, chaaro aur bakheree hai,

Paa ke sahaaraa aashaa kaa dil...

Paa ke sahaaraa aashaa kaa dil, jeene ko tayyaar huwaa,
ON FINDING HOPE'S SUPPORT, THE HEART GEARED UP TO LIVE,

Ik din ik armaan bharaa dil.
ONE DAY A HEART FULL OF DESIRE...


Ik din qismat dil se bolee Paal rahaa hai, mushkil tuu
ONE DAY THE FATE TOLD THE HEART, “YOU’RE NURTURING TROUBLE,”

Dekh rahaa hai khwaab suhaane, pagle nahee.n iss qaabil tuu
“YOU'RE SEEING LUCID DREAMS, YOU’RE NOT FIT FOR THIS, STUPID”,

Haay, laakh kahaa qismat naa maanee...

Laakh kahaa qismat naa maanee, Kehnaa sab bekaar huwaa,
A LOT WAS EXPLAINED, THE FATE WOULDN’T LISTEN, ALL WAS SAID IN VAIN,

Ik din ik armaan bharaa dil.
ONE DAY A HEART FULL OF DESIRE...


Pyaar ka maaraa dil bechaara qismat ko naa Taal sakaa,
THE POOR, LOVE-STRICKEN HEART COULD NOT AVOID THE FATE,

Apnee dunyaa dekh sakaa naa, Apnaa aap sambhaal sakaa,
NEITHER HE COULD SECURE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD, NOR COULD HE RECOVER,

TooT gayaa qismat kaa maaraa...
AFFLICTED BY FATE, HE BROKE DOWN...

TooT gayaa qismat kaa maaraa, marnaa bhee dushwaar huwaa,
AFFLICTED BY FATE, HE BROKE DOWN; EVEN DYING BECAME DIFFICULT.


ik din, ik armaan bharaa dil,
ONE DAY A HEART FULL OF DESIRE...

ik din, ik armaan bharaa dil, ulfat se doh-chaar huwaa,
ONE DAY A HEART FULL OF DESIRE, CHANCED UPON LOVE,

ik din, ik armaan bharaa dil.
ONE DAY, A HEART FULL OF DESIRE...

And yet I quickly might arrive
Where my extended soul is fixt,
But Fate does iron wedges drive,
And always crowds itself betwixt.
For Fate with jealous eye does see
Two perfect loves, nor lets them close;
Their union would her ruin be,
And her tyrannic pow'r depose.

jaate huwe dil le gaye nazraanaa samajh kar...
WHILE GOING SHE TOOK AWAY THE HEART, DEEMING IT TO BE A PRESENT...


hamm yaad liye aap kee, kooche me.n pa.de hai.n,
WITH YOUR REMEMBRANCE WE REMAIN LYING IN THE LANE,

kooche me.n pa.de hai.n,
REMAIN LYING IN THE LANE...

Thokar hee, lagaa jaaeeye deewaanaa samajh kar,
GO ON, AT LEAST KICK ME, JUDGING ME TO BE INSANE,

jaate huwe dil le gaye nazraana, samajh kar...
WHILE GOING SHE TOOK AWAY THE HEART, DEEMING IT TO BE A PRESENT,

Thukraa ke, hame.n chal diye begaanaa samajh kar,
SHE SPURNED ME AND WALKED AWAY, SIZING ME UP AS A STRANGER,

jaate huwe dil le gaye nazraanaa samajh kar.
WHILE GOING SHE TOOK AWAY THE HEART, DEEMING IT TO BE A PRESENT.

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes.
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears.
What is it else?
A madness most discreet,
a choking gall and a preserving sweet.
- William Shakespeare

Perhaps a great love is never returned. Had it been given warmth and shelter by its counterpart in the Other, perhaps it would have been hindered from ever growing to maturity. It "gives" us nothing. But in its world of loneliness it leads us up to the summits with wide vistas - of great insights. - Dag Hammarskjöld

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


Hamm apne dil kaa fasaanaa, unhe.n sunaa naa sake,
WE COULDN’T NARRATE TO HER OUR HEART’S TALE,

Lagee hai aag jo..
THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP ...

Lagee hai, aag jo dil me.n, usse bhujaa naa sake,
WE COULDN’T QUENCH THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP IN THE HEART,

Hamm apne dil kaa fasaanaa, unhe.n sunaa naa sake.
WE COULDN’T NARRATE TO HER OUR HEART’S TALE...


Teree talaash me.n, dar dar ki Thokre.n khaayee.n,
IN LOOKING FOR YOU, WE WENT FROM PILLAR TO POST,

Teree talaash me.n, dar dar kee Thokre.n khaayee.n,
IN LOOKING FOR YOU, WE WENT FROM PILLAR TO POST,

Mereee wafaa ke qadam phir bhee dagmagaa naa sake,
EVEN SO, THE STEPS OF MY CONSTANCY DIDN’T WAVER,

Lagee hai aag jo....
THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP ...

Lagee hai aag jo dil me.n, usse bujhaa naa sake,
WE COULDN’T QUENCH THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP IN THE HEART,

Hamm apne dil ka fasaanaa, unhe.n sunaa naa sake.
WE COULDN’T NARRATE TO HER OUR HEART’S TALE...


Zaraa toh soch ke, uss dil kaa haal kyaa hogaa,
JUST THINK, WHAT WILL BE THE STATE OF THAT HEART,

Haal kyaa hogaa,
WHAT WILL BE THE STATE...

Zaraa toh soch ke, uss dil kaa haaal kyaa hogaa,
JUST THINK, WHAT WILL BE THE STATE OF THAT HEART,

Haal kyaa hogaa,
WHAT WILL BE THE STATE....

Jo duur reh na sake tere paas aa naa sake,
WHICH CAN’T BEAR TO BE FAR AWAY, NOR CAN IT COME CLOSE TO YOU,

Lagee hai aag jo..
THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP ...

Lagee hai, aag jo dil me.n, usse bujhaa naa sake,
WE COULDN’T QUENCH THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP IN THE HEART,

Hamm apne dil kaa fasaanaa, unhe.n sunaa na a sake..
WE COULDN’T NARRATE TO HER OUR HEART’S TALE...

Hamm unko yaad naa, karte pe dil kaa kyaa kijeeye,
WE WOULDN’T RECALL HER; BUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE HEART?

pe dil, ka kyaa kijeeye,
BUT WHAT TO DO WITH THE HEART?

Hazaar bhoolnaa chaahaa, magar bhulaa naa sake
WE TRIED TO FORGET HER A THOUSAND TIMES, BUT COULDN’T,

Lagee hai aag jo,
THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP ...

Lagee hai aag jo dil me.n, usse bujhaa naa sake,
WE COULDN’T QUENCH THE PASSION THAT’S FIRED UP IN THE HEART,

Hamm apne dil ka fasaana, unhe.n sunaa na sake.

Sometimes we let affection, go unspoken,
Sometimes we let our love go unexpressed,
Sometimes we can't find words to tell our feelings,
Especially towards those we love the best.
