Sahiba Russ Gaiya Lyrics Translation | Firangi

Movie: Firangi
Music: Jatinder Shah
Lyrics: Dr Devendra Kafir
Singer: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Label: Zee Music Company

nain nain se kuch na boley
raina na darwaza kholey
chhup chhup ke kyun roye mann ki maina
pyar ni hota maashe-tole
sabse wakhre iske chole
aR jaaye te phir na maane kehna

eyes say nothing to eyes,
she doesn't open the door at night,
why does the sparrow of the heart cry in hiding?
love doesn't happen in bits
(masha and tola are old small units for weighing jewellery etc.)
its colors are different from all.
(chola literally means a robe. The meaning here is that it changes colors.)
it doesn't listen to anyone if it becomes stubborn.



ja nahi bolNa
main nahi bolNa
ja nahi bolNa ja
ja nahi bolNa...

Go, I'll not talk to you.

tenu koi khabar nahi mirza
koi joR khul gaya hai dil da
hatthan ‘cho ishqe di mehndi
thoRi chhuT gaiyaa..

You don't have any idea, O beloved,
some joint of the heart seems to have broken,
henna of love in the palms
seems to have been wiped a little.

sahiba rus gaiyan, rus gaiyaan
sahiba rus gaiyaan

my beloved seems to have become upset.

[The last talks about Mirza, and this line talks about Sahibaan, both characters from the classic love story of Mirza and Sahibaan.]

kya khoya, kitna khoya, kya hai paaya,
kis jagah pe pyaar mujhko leke aaya
dil mera waang jogiya rulya
mujhko to apna naam hi bhulya
phir bhi raaz-e-ishq na khulya
ki karaan, ki karaan
chaar dina di jindaRi
do din jee ke ruk gaiyaan

what have I lost, how much, and what have I found,
where has love brought me?
my heart has turned into an ascetic and cries,
I have forgotten even my name,
still, the secret of love is not opened.
what shall I do, what shall I do?
this life is just four days long (i.e. very short),
seems to have stopped after two days only.

saeba rus gaiyaan, rus gaiyaan
saiba rus gaiyaan

man-Ne nu te man javaan
par dil chandre nu
channa das kivein samjhawaan

as such, I'll console myself,
but how do I explain to this crazy heart?

sahiba rus gaiyaan, rus gaiyan
sahiba rus gaiyaan

Music: Sachin-Jigar
Lyrics: Priya Saraiya

rab warga ve rab warga
mainu hai mila maahi rab warga

Like God, ah, like God,
I have got a beloved like God.

zinda hai ye dil mera
saanson se teri sanam
tere dil mein basa hai mera saara jahaan

this heart of mine is alive
from your breaths only, my beloved.
all my world lives in your heart.



pehla pyaar tu mera
tu hi aakhiri sanam
teri chaahat ko maan baiTha main hoon khudaa

you are my first love,
and my last one too, my beloved.
I have believed your love to be my God.

tere mere pyaar nu nazar na lage
ruk ja o yaara aaja lag ja gale
jaan waliye, lag ja gale
jaan waliye... lag ja gale

I wish our love be far from the evil eye,
stop, O beloved, come and embrace me.
O the one leaving, embrace me.

ye dhoop teri milti rahe to
sau martaba sardiyaan maang loon
tu paas yoon hi baiThi rahe to
main waqt se mohlatein maang loon

If I keep getting this sunshine of yours,
I can wish for winters a hundred times.
if you keep sitting next to me like that,
I can wish for more time from Time.

tere bina na jeena gawaara
tera bina na ho jeena
ye duaayein maang loon main

I don't accept a life without you,
I'd wish that there be no life without you.

tere mere pyaar nu nazar na lage
ruk ja o yaara aaja lag ja gale
jaan waliye lag ja gale
jaan waliye lag ja gale

rab warga ve rab warga
mainu hai mila maahi rab warga

Mere Rashke Qamar Lyrics Translation | Baadshaho

Movie: Baadshaho
Music: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, recreated by Tanishk Bagchi
Lyrics: Fana Bulandshehri, New Lyrics by Manoj Muntashir
Singers: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Music Label: T-Series

Mere Rashq-e-Qamar was a Qawwali sung by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The ghazal was written by Fana Bulandshehri. Fana's name is mentioned as a takhallus in the original ghazal/qawwali, and even Manoj Muntashir, who has written entirely new lyrics except the ghazal's matla (the first sher) and converted the ghazal into a song, has written a line 'hum fanaa ho gaye' in this version, giving a tribute to the original writer. Also, some good work by Tanishk Bagchi here, who maintains the flavor of the original qawwali.

aise lehra ke tu rubaroo aa gayi
dhaRkanein betahasha taRapne lagin
teer aisa laga dard aisa jagaa
chot dil pe wo khaayi mazaa aa gayaa!

you came in front of me, waving, such that
the heartbeats started craving crazily.
the arrow shot thus, the pain was such,
the heart was hurt such, that it was wonderful.

mere rashke qamar tune pehli nazar
jab nazar se milaayi maza aagaya

O my moon's envy, when for the first time
you met my gaze, it was wonderful.

[rashk = envy, qamar = moon. So rashq-e-qamar means envy of the moon.

josh hi josh mein meri aagosh mein
aake tu jo samaayi mazaa aa gaya

when in all enthusiasm, you came into my arms,
it was wonderful.



mere rashke qamar tune pehli nazar
jab nazar se milaayi mazaa aagaya

ret hi ret thi mere dil mein bhari
pyaas hi pyaas thi zindagi ye meri

there was just sand everywhere in my heart,
my life was just all thirst.

aaj sehraaon mein ishq ke gaaon mein
baarishein ghir ke aayin mazaa aa gaya

today, in the deserts (of my heart), in the village of love,
there were heavy rains, it was wonderful.

mere rashke qamar tune pehli nazar
jab nazar se milaayi mazaa aagaya

ranjha ho gaye hum fanaa ho gaye
aise tu muskuraayi mazaa aa gaya

I became a crazy lover, I destroyed myself (in love)
(when) you smiled so beautifully, it was just wonderful.

barq si gir gayi kaam hi kar gayi
aag aisi lagaai mazaa aa gaya

there was almost a lightening on me, it did its work,
there was such a fire, that it was just wonderful.

mere rashke qamar tune pehli nazar
jab nazar se milaayi mazaa aagaya

Tinka-Tinka Dil Mera Lyrics Translation | Tubelight

Movie: Tubelight
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Kausar Munir
Singer: Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
Label: Sony Music India

tinka tinka dil mera
teri lau mein jalta hai
jaaye tu chaahe kahin
mere dil mein Dhalta hai

Little by little,
my heart burns in your flame,
Wherever you go,
You melt in my heart.

qatra katra dil mera
teri rau mein behta hai
jaaye tu chaahe kahin
mere dil mein rehta hai

Drop by drop, my heart
Flows with your flow,
Wherever you go,
You live in my heart.



teri ik-ik karke yaadein aati hain
teri ik-ik karke saansein jaati hain
ye meri aah jo kabhi kaheen nikal jaaye
maange bas ik jhalak teri kaheen tu mil jaaye

Your memories come one by one,
Your breaths go one by one.
Whenever I sigh somewhere,
I just wish to see you for a moment.

tukRa tukRa dil mera
tera rastaa takta hai
jaaye tu chaahe kahin
mere dil mein thamta hai

Piece by piece, my heart
Waits for you.
Wherever you go,
You come back to my heart.

zarra zarra gham mera
tere dil mein hansta hai
jaaye tu chaahe kahin
mere dil mein basta hai

Particle by particle, my sorrow
Smiles in your heart,
Wherever you go,
You live in my heart.
