My Song Of Peace (Prayer)
(Written by Pt. Jag B Mahadeo – Sing to ‘Although we Hail from The Same Land’ by Rafi)
We are all born of the same Earth,
We share one God and Sky and Sun,
Remember friends, our God is one.
We want all minds to be of peace,
For we want wars, and fights to cease,
We want no hate, we want no strife,
For we were born for love and life,
Let us all pray to the divine,
We shall not rest till wars are done,
Remember friends, our God is one.
We are all born of the same Earth,
We share one God and sky and sun,
Remember friends, our God is one.
We are all children of the earth,
Regardless of country or birth,
With peace and love we can all live
If we can all learn to forgive
A world which teach oneness of mind,
A world we seek to make noble,
Remember friends, our God is one.
We are all born of the same Earth,
We share one God and sky and sun,
Remember friends, our God is one.
We all gather to sing and pray,
We all worship in our own way,
Some of us pay homage each day
With folded hands and Namaste
We are all God’s Humanity
A world of peace we wish to see,
Remember friends, our God is one.
We are all born of the same Earth,
We share one God and sky and sun,
Remember friends, our God is one.
Remember friends, our God is one.
Aaj Andhere Me (Prayer)
Aaj andhere me hai ham insaan
Jyaan ka sooraj chamkaa de bhagawaan
The human beings today are living in the blinding darkness of ignorance. O Lord, let the lamp of Your knowledge guide us onto the righteous path of life.
Bhatak rahe hame raah dikhaade, bhagawan raah dikhaade
Kadam kadam par kiran bichhaade bhagawan kiran bichhaade
In akhiyan ko prabhu karaade jyoti se pehchaan
And O God, as we roam in darkness, bless me with that discriminating intelligence and power of sight to see. We pray that you light up our path with your illuminating light of knowledge so we can distinguish the right path from the not-right path and make the choice to walk the right path.
Ham to hai santaan tihaaree, prabhu santaan tihaaree
Teree dayaa ke ham adhikaaree, prabhu hai ham adhikaaree
Duniyaa howe sukhee hamaaree, aisaa de vardaan
We are Your children O God, and have be granted our endless potential by you. We are the ones privileged to enjoy these generous gifts granted by you. Bless us that we may enjoy the peace and happiness of this world.
Aaj Ke Is Insaan (What is wrong with Society)
Aaj ke is insaan ko ye kyaa ho gayaa,
What has happened to this human of today
Iskaa puraanaa pyaar kahaan par kho gayaa,
Where has his old love gotten lost
Kaisi ye manhoos gharee hai
What wretched time is this?
Bhaaiyon mei jang chiree hai,
There is a battle going on between brothers
Kahin pe khoon, kahin par jwaalaa,
Somewhere is blood, somewhere is blaze / flames
Jaane kyaa hai hone waalaa,
Who knows what is about to happen
Sab kaa maathaa aaj jhukaa hai,
Everyones head is bowed today
Aazaadi kaa juloos rukaa hai,
The Independence procession has stopped
Chaaron or dagaa hee dagaa hai,
All around is just treachery only treachery
Har chhure par khoon lagaa hai,
On every dagger there is blood
Aaj dukhi hai jantaa saari,
Today all public is sad
Rote hain laakho nar naari,
Hundreds of thousands of men and women are crying
Rote hain aangan galiyaare,
The courtyards and alleys are crying
rote aaj mohalle saare,
Today all neighborhoods are crying
Roti Salmaa, roti hai Seeta,
Salma is crying, Seeta is crying (Muslim & Hindu names)
Rote hain Quraan aur Geeta
Quraan and Geeta are crying
(Muslim & Hindu Religious books) – regardless of what religion they follow everyone is crying)
Aaj Himaalay chillaataa hai,
Today the Himalayas shout
Kahaan puraanaa wo naataa hai,
Where is that old connection / relationship
Das liyaa saare desh ko zehree naagon ne,
The whole country has been bitten by poisonous snakes
Ghar ko lagaa dee aag ghar ke chiraago ne
The homes were set on fire by the lamps of their own homes
Apnaa desh wo desh thhaa bhaai,
Our country was that country, brother
laakhon baar musibat aayee,
Hundreds of thousands of times difficulties came
Insaanon ne jaan ganwaayee
Men sacrificed their lives
Par bahano ki laaj bachaayee,
But they saved the honour of their sisters
Lekin ab wo baat kahaa hai,
But nowhere is that any more
Ab to kewal ghaat yahaa hai,
Now all that is left are the wounds
Chal rahee hai ultee hawaaye,
The wind is blowing backwards
Kaap rahee thhar thhar ablaaye,
Women are shivering with fear
Aaj har ek aanchal ko hi khatraa,
Today each aanchal (end of sari) is in danger
Aaj har ek ghunghat ko hi khatraa,
Today each veil is in danger (all women are in danger)
Khatre mei hai laaj behen kee,
The sister’s honor is in danger
Khatre mei churiyaa dulhan kee,
The bangles of the bride are in danger
(It really means the husbands are in danger because when the husband dies traditionally Hindu women shatter their bangles)
Dartee hai har paaw ki paayal,
The ankle bracelet is scared
Aaj kahee ho jaaye na ghaayal,
In case it is wounded today
Aaj salaamat koi naa ghar hai,
Today no home is safe any more
Sab ko lut jaane kaa dar hai,
Everyone is afraid of being looted
Hum ne apne watan ko dekhaa,
We have seen our country
Aadmi ke patan ko dekhaa,
We have seen the downfall of men
Aaj to bahano par bhee humlaa hotaa hai,
Today even sisters are attacked
Door kisi kone me mazhab rotaa hai,
In some far corner religion cries
Kiske sar ilzaam dhare ham,
Upon whose head can we lay the blame
Aaj kahaa fariyaad kare ham?
Today to whom can we appeal
Karte hai jo aaj laraaee,
Those who are fighting today
Sab ke sab hai apne hee bhaai,
All of them are our own brothers
Sab ke sab yahaa apraadhi,
All of them here are the accused / guilty
Haay mohabbat sab ne bhulaa dee,
Alas all have forgotten love
Aaj bahee jo khoon ki dhaaraa,
Today the blood that is flowing
Doshi uskaa samaaj hai saaraa,
The blame for that goes to all of society
Suno zara o sun-ne waalo,
Listen for a bit those of you listening
Aasmaan par nazar ghumaa lo,
Take a look at the sky
Ek gagan mei karoro taare,
In one sky there are billions of stars
Rahte hain hil mil ke saare,
But they still stay together
Kabhi naa wo aapas mei larte,
They never fight with each other
Kabhi naa dekhaa unko jhagarte,
We have never seen them fighting
Kabhi nahi wo chhure chalaate,
They never attack with daggers
Nahi kisi kaa khoon bahaate,
They never flow any one elses blood
Lekin is insaan ko dekho,
But look at this human
Dharti ki santaan ko dekho,
Look at the son of the earth
Kitnaa hai ye haay kameenaa,
Look how wicked / mean spirited he is
Is ne laakho kaa sukh chheenaa,
He has stolen the happiness of millions
Kee hai isne jo aaj tabaahee,
The devastation he has created today
Denge uskee ye mukre gawaahee,
This country will give evidence of that
Aapas kee dushmani kaa ye anjaam huaa,
The result of the enmity with each other is
Duniyaa hansne lagi desh badnaam huaa,
The world is laughing at us and the reputation of our country is hurt
Kaisaa ye khatre kaa pahar hai,
This is the warning of what type of danger
Aaj hawaao may bhee zahar hai,
Today there is poison even in the wind
Kahi bhee dekho baat yahee hai,
Where ever you look this is what is happening
Haai bhayaanak raat yahee hai,
This is a horrifying / scary night
Maut ke saaye me har ghar hai,
The shadow of death is in each house
Kab kya hogaa kise khabar hai,
When what will happen who knows
Band hain khirki, band hain dwaare,
The windows are closed, the doors are closed
Baithe hain sab darr ke maare,
Everyone is sitting scared
Kyaa hogaa in bechaaron kaa,
What will happen to these poor souls
Kyaa hogaa in laachaaro kaa,
What will happen to these helpless people
Inkaa sab kuch kho saktaa hai,
They can lose every thing
In pe hamlaa ho saktaa hai,
They can be attacked
Koi rakshak nazar na aataa,
No protector / saviour is in sight
Soyaa hai aakaash ke daataa,
The Giver (GOD) is lost in the sky
Ye kyaa haal huaa apne sansaar kaa,
What is this condition of our world
Nikal rahaa hai aaj janaazaa pyaar kaa
Today we can see the funeral procession of love
Aaj Mil Sab Geet Gaao (Thanks to God)
Aaj mil sab geet gaa-o us prabhu ke dhanyawaad
Jiskaa yash nit gaate hai gandharva gunijan dhanyawaad
Let us all now come together to sing and express our thanks unto that Lord of whose glory and fame all noble and righteous men always sing.
Mandiro me kandaro me parvato ke shikhar par
Date hai lagaataar sow-sow baar muniwar dhanyawaad
In temples, in caves, and even high on the peaks of mountains, all the sages repeatedly express their gratitude to the great God.
Karte hai jangal me mangal paksheegan har shaakh par
Paate hai aanand mil gaate hai swar bhar dhanyawaad
Perched on branchs of the trees even the birds are happy in the forests. Together, in full sweet voices, they sing their thanks unto the Lord, and in so doing try to achieve supreme peace and happiness.
Koop me taalaab me sindhoo kee gehree dhaar me
Pram ras me tript ho karte hai jaichar dhanyawaad
In ponds and in lakes, and in the great depths of all the rivers, the aquatic creatures sing their praises and thanks to God in deep satisfaction and love.
Shaadiyo me jalsayo me yajya par utsav ke aad
Meethe swar se chaahlye kare naari nar sab dhanyawaad
Us as children of God should, should express our gratitude to the Lord with our sweetly intoned voices at all weddings, fairs and all religious congregations.
Gaan kar Ameechand bhajanaa nand eeshwar kee stuti
Dhyaan dhar sunte hai shrotaa kaan dhar dhar dhanyawaad
Those trained in singing and music! Together let us sing the joy-giving praises of God. Devotees in this gathering are listening attentively.
Aaj Suno Ham Geet (Mourning)
Aaj suno ham geet vidaa kaa gaa rahe
Do dukhiyaare panchhee bichhure jaa rahe
Bahut dino ke saathee haay Judaa honge
Gum sum aakhariyo me aasoo aa rahe
Today I am singing a song that records the tremendous pain of loss and separation from a loved one. Two bird-like souls are painfully are separated from each other after having lived together for so long. They are silently fearful and their eyes are filled with tears of sorrow.
Alag alag raaho par chal diye do praanee
Nirdai jag ne inkee peer nahee jaanee
Aaj puraane sukh ke din yaad aa rahe
These two bird-like souls have parted to their separate ways, but society cannot begin to measure their pain. Today, we, their children and dear friends, can only remember about the earlier days they spent with joy and happiness.
Koi mat poochho kown hai ye kyo rote hai
Is jag me aise bhi abhaage hote hai
Lut gaye phir bhi dil kaa dard chhipaa rahe
Should one ask who these mourners are and why they are crying? In this world there are many unfortunate people who feel cheated, but they silently hide their pain in their heart.
O Lord help to ease the sorrow of the loved ones remaining here.
Ai Maalik Tere Bande (Help O God)
Devotional
Ai maalik tare bande ham, aise ho hamaare karam
Ne kee par chale our badee se tale, taaki haste hu-e nikle dam
O almighty God, we are your servants. May our actions be noble ones, which we walk the path of virtue, ignore the path of vice, and smile in gratitude when we take our leave from this world.
Baraa kam zoor hai aadmee, abhi laakho hai isme kamee
Par too jo kharaa, hai dayaalu baraa
Teree kirpaa se dhartee thamee
Deeyaa toone hame jab janam, too hi jhe-legaa ham sab ke gam
Ne kee par chale our badee se tale, taaki haste hu-e nikle dam
Ai maalik tare bande ham
We human beings suffer from inherent lapses of judgement and are weak. And we have You to depend upon. You are Merciful and kind and the whole universe is alive only because of Your Mercy. We know that You will support us in our moments of pain because it is You who give us birth.
Ye andheraa ghanaa chhaa rahaa, teraa insaan ghabraa rahaa.
Ho rahaa be-khabar, kuchh na aataa nazar
Sukh kaa sooraj chhupaa jaa rahaa
Hai teree rosh-nee me wo dam, jo amaawas ko kar de poonam
Ne kee par chale our badee se tale, taaki haste hu-e nikle dam
Ai maalik tare bande ham
Sometimes, darkness seems to reign everywhere, and we, Your Children, are scared. We know not what will happen O God nor do we know when. Sometimes we see no reassuring sign, and happiness and joy is hidden by dark clouds of misfortune. We know that Your Light has the power to replace fear and insecurity with assurance and peace.
Jab julmoo kaa ho saamnaa, tab too hee hame thaam-naa.
Wo buraa-ee kare, ham bhalaa-ee bhare
Nahee badle ki ho kaam-naa,
Barh uthe pyaar kaa har kadam, our mite bair akaa ye bharam
Ne kee par chale our badee se tale, taaki haste hu-e nikle dam
Ai maalik tare bande ham, aise ho hamaare karam
Ne kee par chale our badee se tale, taaki haste hu-e nikle dam
Ai maalik tare bande ham
In the face of injustice, O God, give us the courage to love those who hate us, and not ever to seek revenge. Let us take step to practice and increase Love in society so that we can remove distortions caused by enmity.
Ab Saup Diya (Surrender)
Ab saup diya is jeevan kaa
Sab bhara tumhaare haathon me
Hai jeet tumhaare haatho me
Hai haar tumhaare haathon me
O Lord, I now surrender into Your Hands all the problems and strains of my life because I realize that victory and defeat can be had only from Your Hands. O God, I can only resolve the problems in my life by using the intellect which you have granted onto me.
Mera nishchai hai ek yahee:
Ek baar tumhe paa jaa-oo mai .
Arpan kar doo jagtee bhar kaa
sab pyaar tumhaare haathon me.
My mind is focused on realizing you O God! I yearn to have the realization of your presence and to do so even once, I dedicate into Your Hands all the love I can find in this world and all the love that I can offer to this world O God. My Goal is to love as you love O God. My goal is to show your kind of Selfless Love to all of your creation.
Jab jab sansaar ka bandee ban,
Darabaar me tere aa-oo mai.
Ho mere paapo kaa nir-nai
Sarkaar tumhaare haatho me.
Whenever I am re-born as a prisoner in this world and a prisoner of my own karma, I always come to Your Court to have the final decision regarding my life’s actions, because the power of fair judgment is only in Your Hands. You have given unto me O Master the mental capacity to distinguish between right and wrong and the intellect resolve to put in place the discipline to make the right choices and follow them to the letter O Master. Yet I sometimes become the slave to the desires and a prisoner in this physical world.
Yaa to mai jag se door rahoo
Aur jag me rahoo to aise rahoo.
Is paar tumhaare haatho me
Us paar tumhaare haatho me.
Either I remain aloof from the world, or I reside in the world with the consciousness of your blessed hands on all sides. When I realize your presence in this world and open communications with you and listen to your guiding words, only then can I ever hope to realize my full potential O Lord.
Yadi maanush hee mujhe janma mile
Tab to charano kaa pujaaree rahoo
Mujh poojak kee ik rag rag kaa
Ho taar tumhaare haatho ma
If I should ever be reborn as a human being let me remain as one who worships at your lotus feet. And every limb of mine, the worshipper, be firmly placed in your hands. O God I pray that I satisify all your requirements as a human being in this life O master that if I am reborn, it is with your blessings and trust of fulfilling my purpose.
Mujhme me tujhme me hai bhed yahee:
Mai narhoo too Naaraayan hai.
Mai hoo sansaar ke haatho me,
Sansaar tumhaare haatho me.
The main difference between me and You, O Lord, is that while I am human, You are the Master of all humans and all of creation. I am in the hands of the world and the world rests in Your Hands. O God, I ask for your guidance so that I can fulfill as much of the unlimited potential which you have granted onto me. For this I pray O Great Master.

Many nights you kept awake to rock us to sweet sleep. Your loving embrace has protected us from heat and from the cold. Even though we were not the wealthiest of people, our home was always like heaven to us. This is all due to the power of your love.
Maaraa jo kabhee galtee pe hame, hamse dukh jyaadaa tujhko huaa
Ham asoo bahaake chup hogaye, lekin Ma teraa man royaa
Aisee mamtaa kee moorat kee, jeewan bhar karte rahe poojaa
In our childhood, if you punished us for any reason, you suffered more than we did. In being punished, we wept just for a while, but in your mind, you wept for many hours. Maa! We, your children, will forever worship you as a symbol of love.

Mere baag ki ai naazuk daalee,
tujhe har pal nayee bahaar mile
I brought you up with the tenderness a gardener has for his own roses and flowers. As a little child, I rocked you with my own hands in my lap. You are like the tender limb in my garden! May your life always be blessed in joy and happiness!

Like others, I could have brought you a gift of flowers to make you smile in this celebration activity. But my heart told me that you have no need for flowers, because you resemble the flowers of spring. Every rose-like heart blossoms in happiness in your presence.

Baraa Niraalaa (Mother)
Baraa niraalaa baraa hi paawan, man bhaawan ik naataa
Ek taraf hai, saaree duniya, ek taraf hai Maataa
Baraa niraalaa baraa hi paawan, man bhaawan ik naataa
Ek taraf hai, saaree duniya, ek taraf hai Maataa
Very unique and very pure is this pleasant relationship between mother and child. In the final estimation, Mother’s value far exceeds the combined wealth of the world.
Baalak chale sada be-dhangaa, maa ka man woh-jhangaa
Ek nayan me behtee Jamunaa, ek nayan me Gangaa
Chaaro dhaam is ke charano me, jholi woh sar jataa
Ek taraf hai, saaree duniya, ek taraf hai Maataa
Mother is always unhappy when her child goes astray. When she weeps for her child, the Jamunaa flows front one eye, while the Gangaa flows from the other. The fruit of having visited the four places of pilgrimage can be found at the feet of mother. (Comparing Maa to Mother Earth – her tears are like the rivers of the Earth) (Four places of pilgrimage – that God exists at Mothers feet)
lk palre me baalak kee ye, saaree umar uthaa lo
Our doosre palre me Maa, ke now maheene daalo
Phir bhee Maa kee mamtaa waalaa, palraa jhuk jhuk jaataa
Ek taraf hai, saaree duniya, ek taraf hai Maataa
On the Scale of Life, the sacrifices that mother makes for a child during pregnancy are far more substantial than all the sacrifices a child makes for his mother his whole life.
Zeher ke badle amrit detee, mowt ke badle jeenaa
Is kee matee heere motee, Maa hai ek nageenaa
Kis naate ke aage dekho, dharmaataa hai vidhataa
Ek taraf hai, saaree duniya, ek taraf hai Maataa
In a child’s life, a mother replaces poison with nectar and death with life. Mother is an expensive piece of jewelry — the words she addresses to her child are like jewels. All worldly relationships pale into insignificance when compared to the relationship between mother and child.
Baraa niraalaa baraa hi paawan, man bhaawan ik naataa
Ek taraf hai, saaree duniya, ek taraf hai Maataa
Bache Man Ke Sache (Children)
Bachche man ke sachche,
Saare jag kee aakh ke taare
Ye vo nanhe phool hai jo
Bhagawaan ko lagte pyaare
Our children are truthful and honest by nature and they are dear to everyone.
They are like the flowers that God likes.
Khud roothe khud man jaaye
Phir hamjolee ban jaaye
Jhagdaa jiske saath kare
Agale hi pal phir baat kare
Inako kisee se bair nahee
Inake liye ko-ee gair nahee
Inakaa bholaa pan miltaa hai
Sabko baanh pasaare
Bachche Man Ke Sachche
Children hold no ill feelings and feels no enmity for anyone. Even when upset in an instant they become your friends again. No one seems like a stranger to them. They are so innocent that they are ready to hug anyone.
Insasaan jab tak bachchaa hai
Tab tak samjo sachchaa hai
Jyo jyo uskee umra badhe,
Man par jhooth kaa maile charhe
Krodh barhe nafarat ghere,
Laalach kee aadat ghere
Bachpan in paapon se hata
Kar apnee umra guzaare
Bachche Man Ke Sachche
People remain innocent as long as they are children. Their minds become corrupt as they get older. In their adult life they are influenced by anger, hate and greed. A child enjoys his childhood and is not influenced by these vices.
Tan komal man sundar hai,
Bachche baro se behtar hai
Iname chhoot our chhaat nahee,
Jhoothee jaat our paat nahee
Bhaashaa kee taqaraar nahee,
Mazhab kee deewaar nahee
Inkee nazaron me ek hai
Mandir masjid gurudwaare
Children are better than adults in their innocent behavior. They are free from the prejudice of race, gender, caste and class. They do not judge and are not confined by language, religion and temple.
Bachche man ke sachche,
Saare jag kee aakh ke taare
Ye vo nanhe phool hai jo
Bhagawaan ko lagte pyaare
Children by nature are truthful and honest.
They are dear to everyone. They are the flowers that God loves.
Bhagavaan Meree Naiyaa (Be My Guide O God)
Bhagawaan meree naiyyaa us paar lagaa denaa
Bhagawaan meree naiyyaa us paar lagaa denaa
Ab tak to nibhaayaa hai, agay bhi nibhaa denaa
O Lord, take my boat to the other bank of the river, away from pain and misery. So far You have helped me to get across. I beg of you to continue giving me the help I need.
Sambhav hai jhanjhato me, mai tumko bhool jaa-oo
Prabhujee ……
Par naath kahee tum bhee, mujhko na bhulaa denaa
In my moments of anxiousness and distress, I tend to forget You. But, Lord, I beg of you to not treat me likewise; do not forget me.
Dal-bal ke saath maayaa ghere mujhe jo aakar
Prabhujee ……
To dekh te naa rehnaa, jhat aake bachaa denaa
Whenever ignorance comes and surrounds me, never be a silent spectator to my plight O God. Give me the help which I need O gracious God.

You are my all powerful Lord, I am Your child and worshipper. You are my beloved and I seek to commune with you O Lord.
Bhagawaan meree naiyyaa us paar lagaa denaa
Ab tak to nibhaayaa hai, agay bhi nibhaa denaa
Bharosaa Kar Tu Eshwar (Have faith in God)
Bharosaa kar tu eeshvara par tujhe dhokhaa nahee hogaa
Ye jeevan beet jaayegaa, tujhe ronaa nahee hogaa
O man, have confidence in God, and you will never feel deceived. With such confidence, you will spend your life without tears. Do what you can and leave the rest in the hands of God.
Kabhee sukh hai kabhee dukh hai, ye jeevan dhoop chhaayaa hai
Hasee me hee bitaa dalo, bitaanee hee ye maayaa hai
Life is made up of opposing experiences — of pain and pleasure, of heat and cold. If you have to live your life, and live you must, then try to live it in joy.
Jo sukh aawe to has denaa, jo dukh aawe to sah leenaa
Na kehnaa kuchh kabhi jag se, prabhu se hee tu keh denaa
O man, when pleasure or happiness comes, welcome it with a smile; and when pain or sorrow comes, try to endure it also with a smile. Make all effort to not complain to the world. If you have anything to say, then say it to God. Use your prayers O man.
Ye kuchh bhee to nahee jag me, tere bas karm kee maayaa
Too khud hee dhoop me baithaa, lakhe nij roop kee chhaayaa
Nothing belongs to you in this world except the fruits of the actions which you have committed in past births and in this birth. When you are fully exposed to sunlight, you will see a reflection of your own face. In the same way, when you are fully immersed in this world, you will clearly see that your life is made up of the pleasures, pains, joys and insecurities.
Bare Pyaar Se Milnaa Sabse (Show love to all)

Duniyaa me inasaan re
Kyaa jaane kis bhesh me baabaa,
Mil jaaye bhagavaan re
O brothers and sisters of this earth, greet everyone in this world with a smile, with delight and love. This means that we should speak and act with love. This means that we should convey love at every turn. We know that God is present within everyone.
Kaun baraa hai kaun hai chhotaa,
Oochaa kaun aur neechaa
Prem ke jal se sabhi ko seechaa,
Ye hai prabhu kaa bageechaa
Mat kheecho tum dewaare,
Mat kheecho tum dewaare,
Insaano ke darmi-yaan re
Who is big and who is small? We are are all the same regardless of status. We are all children of one God. Weather young or old, God’s love is equal and the same. We are all like beautiful flowers in his garden. Never turn anyone with good intention away from your door. This also means that never turn away another child of God by using his gift of this voice in a demeaning and hurtful way.
Kyaa jaane kab shaam muraaree,
Aajaaye ban karke bhikhaaree
Kahee laut na jaaye dwaar se,
Kahee laut na jaaye dwaar se,
Liye binaa ko-i daan re
The Lord is even in the form of a begger so never let some one leave your home unsatisfied. Always express your utmost kindness, patience and love for we greet the almighty Lord in all forms.

Duniyaa me inasaan re
Kyaa jaane kis bhesh me baabaa,
Mil jaaye bhagavaan re

Baato se kaam ko-ee pooraa kabhee na hotaa
Vaanee se jo kahaa hai kar ke use dikhaale

Sanshai kaa bhaav dil se apne zaraa hataale

Chhor Jhamelaa Jhoothe (Materialism)
Chhor jhamelaa jhoothe jag kaa,
keh gaye Daas Kabeer
Paar lagaa-yenge ik pal me,
Tulsee ke Raghubeer
Kabirdas – a great reformer of Hindu Dharma who lived about six hundred years ago advised to give up the entangling influences of this false world. Tulsidas also gave the same message to the world while portraying the life of his epic-hero, Bhagawan Shri Rama. Tulsidas promised emancipation for those people who followed Shri Rama’s teachings.
Bhool-bhulaiyaa jeevan teraa,
saacho naam prabhu ko
Man me basaa le aaj to bande,
lekar naam guru ko
Soordaas ke Shyaam harenge
janam janam kee peer
Your life is filled with mistakes and blunders O man. Follow the teachings of your spiritual masters and Gurus and keep repeating God’s name so that you can have Him in your heart as a constant guide in your life. Like the great ones Kabir and Tulsi, Soordasji also portrayed the life of Bhagawan Krishna, to help his fellow men overcome the pains which has accumulated from past births.
Teraa meraa din bhar kartaa,
Par teraa kachhu nahi
Maati kaa ye khel hai saaraa,
milegaa maati mahhi
Meeraa ji ke geet bulaawe,
Sabko Jamunaa teer
In this life you are always busy determining and separating what is yours from what belongs to others. Nothing is yours because this world is nothing but clay and dust in different forms. One day the world will be reduced to this clay and dust again. The songs of Meeraa Bai advises us to relinquish the binding influences of the world and sit in deep meditation places, like the banks of the Jamunaa River which is condusive to peace of mind.

Dekh Tere Sansaar Ki (What is wrong with Society)
Dekh tere sansaar ki haalat kyaa ho gai bhagawaan
Kitnaa badal gayaa insaan
Sooraj na badlaa, chaand na badlaa, na badlaa re aasmaan
Kitnaa badal gayaa insaan
Dear God! Look at the condition of the world You have created and see what has happened to it. Look at how man has changed and not for the better. The sun hasn’t changed, nor the moon, nor the sky. But man has changed so much.
Aayaa samai baraa be-dhangaa, aaj aadmee banaa lafangaa
Kahee pe jhagraa, kahee pe dangaa, naach rahaa nar hokar nangaa
Chhale owr kapat ke haatho apnaa bech rahaa eemaan
We currently live in a society which seems dysfunctional and depraved. Human beings today practice loose moral values. Fights and wars define our society, and in their low values, people even dance away in public places, completely nude. In greed we sell our honesty and trust with the hands of hypocrisy and fraud.
Raam ke bhakt kaheem ke bande, rachte aaj fareb ke phande
Kitne ye mak-kaar ye andhe, dekh liye inke bhee dhandhe
Inhee kee kaalee kartoo-to se hu-aa ye mulk mashaan
Those people who claim to champion righteous virtues even trap innocent people in evil designs all for the sake of greed. They are so cunning that they become blind to what is right and what is good. Their deeds, saturated with evilness, have made this country into a graveyard of living dead.
Jo ham aapas me na jhagarte, bane hu-e kwo khel bigarte
Kaahe laakho ghar ye ujarte, kye ye bach-che maa se bichharte
Phoot phoot ke kyo rote pyaare Baapu ke praan
If we did not have these wars and been fighting, society would not have broken down like this. Homes could have been saved, and parents would not have been separated from their children. If we had lived in unity, Bapu’s final breath would not have cried in mournful tones.
(Baapu – Mahatma Gandhi – the Father of the Nation,)
Dukh Door Kar Hamaaraa (Passing Soul)
Dukh door kar hamaaraa, sansaar ke rachaiyyaa
Jaldee se do sahaaraa, majh-dhaar me hai naiyyaa
Dear Creator of this world! Please take away our pain. Help us quickly, for our boat is caught in the undercurrent of worldly attachments.
Tum bin ko-ee hamaaraa, rakshak nahee yahaa par
Dhoodhaa jahaan saaraa, tum-saa nahee rakhaiyyaa
Without You, no-one is here to be our protector. We have looked all over, to find that no one compares with You as our protector.
Duniyaa me khoob dekhaa, aakhe pasaar karke
Saathee nahee hamaaraa, maa baap owr bhaiyyaa
We have seen how the world operates. And we have realized that eventually no mother, father, brother or sister is a truer friend than you.
Duniyaa me phas ke hamko, haasil huwaa na kuchh phal
Tere binaa hamaaraa, ko-ee nahee sunaiyyaa
We are attached to the materialness of this world, and sometimes feel that we have no reward from our hard work. O Lord, without You, there is no one to listen to our story of sadness.
Eeshwar Allah Tere (Worship)
Ishwar allah tere naam
Sab ko sanmati de bhagvaan
Sara jag teri santaan
Ishwar Allah are Your names
We pray that you grant wisdom on all, O Lord!
For the entire universe is Your child
Is dharati par basane wale
Sab hai teri gode ke paale
Koi neech na koi mahaan
Sab ko sanmati de bhagvaan
All the dwellers – living things of this earth
Have all been nurtured in Your divine lap
No one of your creation is inferior or superior
Grant us all with wisdom O Lord!
Gaatho nasalon ke bataware
Jhoot kahaye tere dwaare
Tere liye sab ek samaan
Sab ko sanmati de bhagvaan
The divisions of castes and races we do
These lies which we tell in Your name
But for you all are equal
Grant us all with wisdom O Lord!
Janam ka koyi mol nahin hai
Janam manush kaa tol nahin hai
Karam se hai sab ki pehechaan,
Sab ko sanmati de bhagvaan
Our social status of birth has no value
But to be born a human is priceless
It is our deeds that distinguishes all
Grant us all with wisdom O Lord!
Gangaa Me Nahee (Worship)
Gangaa me nahee, Jamunaa me nahee
Mehlo me nahee, kutiyo me nahee
Jahaa yaad karo Bhagawaan wahee
Mehlo me nahee, kutiyo me nahee
Jahaa yaad karo Bhagawaan wahee
We know that God exists everywhere, but we have to acknowledge the existence of God to recognize his presence. If you go on a intellectually blind search you will not find God in the rivers like the Gangaa and Jamunaa where people go on pilgrimage, nor in ‘Mahals’ palaces or ‘Kuti’ cottages. Once we understand the omnipresence of God, we will find him wherever we are. We will find God wherever and whenever we focus on Him.
Too naam na lekar dhan jore,
kowree ke liye naataa tore
Sone me nahee chaandee me nahee
Heerey me nahee motee me nahee
Jahaa yaad karo Bhagawaan wahee
O man! In our constant focus of only accumulating excess ‘dhan’ wealth, by being solely materialistic, you have snapped your ‘nata’ relationship with God — you stopped calling His Name and acknowledging Him. You will not find God in ‘sone ka’ gold, ‘chandadi’ silver, ‘hira’ diamonds and ‘moti’ pearls. You will find him wherever you focus on him.
Chupke phero man kee maalaa,
chhupke dekhe murlee waalaa
Jantar me nahee, mantar me nahee
Dhartee me nahee, saagar me nahee
Jahaa yaad karo Bhagawaan wahee
You can only visualize God when you chant His Name in silence and you withdraw from public attention. This means that you will only find God when you find calmness in your mind and focus on Him. That is when you become quiet and calm. God is not in empty chantings and incantations. If you chant and sing to your heart’s content, you will not automatically find God. Yo will only find Him by acknowledging his presence in you. Even though he exists everywhere, unless you you open your mind to receive him you will not find him in ‘dharti’ Earth and ‘saagar’ Oceans and other places on earth. He is in you and with you.
Paataal gagan jal me thal me,
muskaataa hu-aa nikle pal me
Mandir me nahee teertho me nahee
Geetaa me nahee Vedo me nahee
Jahaa yaad karo Bhagawaan wahee
Mehlo me nahee, kutiyo me nahee
Jahaa yaad karo Bhagawaan wahee
Upon your realization of Him he will appear in a split second. Upon realizing Him, he can appear in his brilliance from any part of the creation —from the rising sun, the full shining moon, the blooming flowers, the twinkling stars, the flowing rivers. He is not conditioned to a Temple, nor a place of pilgrimage. Even routine and empty recitations of Gita and Veda, unaccompanied by study, will not yield an experience of God unless your mind is open and in a condition to receive Him.
Hanuman Chalisa (Acknowledging His Powers)
As Rama declines to break his vow given to his deceased father, Bharata is compelled to go back to Ayodhya with his sandals, which he places on the throne as the symbol of Rama’s continuing monarchy

In brightness, you are brighter than the sun. In coolness, you are like the moon. You are more forgiving than the Earth, and more superior than the sky, deeper than the entity of the ocean.

Sheeghra saare durgune ko, door hamse keejiye
O God, you who grant happiness, we ask that you grant upon us discriminating knowledge that brings us happiness, and help us remove all vices which makes our life difficult.

Please take us into your shelter so that we may develop within ourselves pure and righteous behavior. May we become controlled in life, be brave in our actions and firm in our vows and may we have the courage to stand by the principles of righteousness.

Ik Baar Bhajan Karle (Prayer)
lk baar bhajan karle, mukti kaa yatan karle
Chhut jaayenge janma maran, prabhu kaa smaran karle
O man, pray with all your heart, and so make an effort to have Mukti, and attain final liberation from pain. In so doing, you will cease being caught up in the wheel of birth and death. For this O man, you need to focus on God.
Ye maanush kaa cholaa, har baar nahee miltaa
Jo jir gayaa daalee se, wo phool nahee khiltaa
Mowkaa hai ye jeevan kaa, gulzaar chaman karle
This human body is not attainable every time you are born. In this life that you have it, do not lose the opportunity to be free once and for all. Remember, a flower once broken off from its limb do not blossoms again. This is an opportunity to make the garden of your life beautiful.
Is mailee chaadar me, hai daag lage kitne
Par jyaan ke saabun me, hai jhaag bhare itne
Dhul jaayegee sab syaahee, ujlaa tan man karle
At one time your mind was clean like a white shawl, but now it is filled with stains of the wrong actions which you have done. But the soap of knowledge can wash away all stains that you have accumulated. Take this opportunity to purify your mind and body.
Jo rishiyo ne gaayaa hai, mai bhee hoo us dhun me
Us dhun ko sun sun kar, premee too bhee gaale
Prabhu ke aage ab too neechee gardan karle
Today I am singing, the song the Rishis had chanted since time immemorial. Listen to this chant, my friends and sing along with me. This is the time for you to bow your head in acknowledgement of the power and presence of God. Recognize His presence and obey His laws.
Insaaf Kaa Mandir Hai (Prayer)
Insaaf kaa mandir hai ye bhagawaan kaa ghar hai
Kehnaa hai jo keh de tujhe kis baat ka dar hai
This world is God’s House and it is His Temple of Justice. Come and speak your mind. What are you afraid of?
Hai khot tere man me jo bhagwaan se hai door
Hai paaw tere phir bhee too aane se hai majboor
Himmat hai to aa jaa ye bhalaa-ee kee dagar hai
Your mind is not free from blemish and because of this you hesitate to approach God. You have feet to walk, but you are afraid to go to God. If you have the courage, then come forward, for this is the path to righteousness.
Even God will not forgive any person who does injustice to others and inflict pain on them. Remember that God knows our secret thoughts, words and deeds.
Hai paas tere jiskee amaanat use de de
Nirdhan hai jo insaan mohabbat use de de
Jis dar pe sabhee ek hai bande yah wo dar hai
Give back whatever you owe to others. Show love to other people by giving them selflessly what they need. This kind of action, this door leads to God’s Temple of Justice where everyone is treated alike.
Maayoos na ho haar ke takdeer kee baajee
Pyaaraa hai wo har kaam jisme bhagwaan bhee raajee
Dukh dard mile jisme wahee pyaar amar hai
If you feel you are losing the struggle of Life, don’t feel hopeless. Life become pleasant when God approves of your actions.

Itni shakti hame dena data
Mann ka vishvas kamzor ho na
It seems that everywhere there is cruelty and helplessness in this world.
Everyone needs or is looking for guidance and direction to find the right path. The burden of sins seem to be growing. I don’t know how this Earth is able to bear it. Dear Lord, help us to lift the burden of attachment and do not let your creation come to an end
Door agyaan ke hon andhere
Tu hame gyaan ki roshni de
Har burayi se bachte rahen ham
Jitni bhi de bhali jindagi de

Itni shakti hame dena data
Mann ka vishvas kamzor ho na
O God, help us to dispel the darkness of ignorance and guide us and give us the light of knowledge so that we are saved from all misdeeds in the path of our lives. Whatever life we have let it be blessed and let there be no ill-will towards each other. O God bring forgiveness into our hearts so that there is no desire for revenge
Ham na sochen hame kya mila hai
Ham ye sochen kiya kya hai arpann

Sab ka jeevan hi ban jaye madhuban
Apni karunna ka jas tu baha ke
Kar de pawan har ek mann ka kona
Ham chalen nek raste pe ham se
Bhool kar bhi koyi bhool ho na
Itni shakti hame dena data
Mann ka vishvas kamzor ho na
Dear God, let us not focus on what we have received but let us focus on what we have given and what we can give to others. Teach us how to be selfless O God and how to contribute to society! In our lives, let us instead be distributing the flowers of happiness to all and let everyone’s life becomes a fragrant garden where happiness grows. Let your grace flow and cleanse every corner of our minds O God.
Ham andhere men hain roshani de
Kho na de khud ko hi dushmani se
Ham saza paye apane kiye ki
Maut bhi ho to sah le khushi se
Kal jo guzara hai phirase na guzare
Anevala vo kal aisa ho na
Ham chalen nek raste pe ham se
Bhool kar bhi koyi bhool ho na
Itni shakti hame dena data
Mann ka vishvas kamzor ho na
When we are in darkness in our lives, in ignorance, help us O Lord by giving us the light and illumination of knowledge so that we can remove darkness from ourselves and our lives. Save us so that we do not lose ourselves to enmity, hate and dislike. Even when we are punished for our bad deeds, let us accept even death gladly!
Let us not repeat the past mistakes! O God let not the future be like that!
Jai Jagadeesh Hare (Prayer End of Havan)
Om jai jagadeesh hare, Swaamee jai jagadeesh hare
Bhakta jano ke sankat, jan me door kare
O Lord of the universe, Super Soul, He who dispels of sorrows, Hail unto Thee! May Thy rule of righteousness be established everywhere in the Universe, for it is You who banishes in an instant the agonies and pains of Your devotees. May Thy kingdom of virtue always reign supreme.

Maat pitaa tum mere sharan gahoo kiskee
Tum bin owr na doojaa aas karoo jiskee
O Lord, you are my Mother and Father. Who else can I go to for protection? Besides you there is no other in whom I can place my hope for salvation.
Tum pooran paramaat maa tum antaryaamee
Paar-brahma parameshwar tum sabke swaamee

Jinke Hriday Shri Raam Base (God in your Heart)
Twameva mata cha-pita twameva

Twameva vidya dravinam twameva
Twameva sarvam mama deva deva
Tvam – you, eva – certainly, mata – mother, cha – and, pita – father, bandhu – relative, family, sakha – friend, vidyaa – knowledge, learning, dravina – wealth, money, property, sarva – all, whole, entire, mama – my, deva – God
O God,
You are our mother, our father, our brother, our constant companion, and our only true friend. You are our knowledge, our wealth, Strength, Valor And Power
You are everything to me and the God of all Gods. You are the sum-total of all of our knowledge and of all of our possessions (wealth). You are the God of all gods and, indeed, everything to us.
Jinke hriday Shree Raam base
Un aur ko naam liyo na liyo.
Jinke hriday Shree Raam base
Aur ko naam liyo na liyo.
Jinke hriday Shree Raam.
Whomsoever has Shri Ram residing in their hearts, need not chant (call on) any other holy name – (for the name Ram is equivalent to the other thousand names of the Lord).
Koee maange kanchan see kaayaa;
Koee maang rahaa prabhu se maayaa.
Koee punya kare koee daan kare;
Koee daan kaa roz bakhaan kare.
Jin kanyaadhan ko daan diyo;
Jin kanyaadaan ko daan diyo.
Un aur ko daan diyo na diyo;
Jinke hriday Shree Raam.
Some ask the Lord for a body of wealth; while others are asking for wordly (illusory) things. Some do charitable works and make donations; and some daily mention what they gave. Those who give a righteous daughter in marriage (with her consent, to another righteous family); need not offer any other gift or make any other donation – (for they will have given the greatest gift, an earthly Seeta-Mahalakshmi, that one human being can
bestow unto another).
Koee ghar me baithaa naman kare;
Koee Hari-mandir me bhajan kare.
Koee Gangaa-Jamanaa snaan kare;
Joee Kaashee jaake dhyaan dhare.
Jin maatu-pitaa kee sevaa kee;
Jin maatu-pitaa kee sevaa kee.
Un teerath-snaan kiyo na kiyo;
Jinke hriday Shree Raam base.
Un aur ko naam liyo na liyo;
Jinke hriday Shree Raam.
Some chant (call on) the name of the Lord sitting in their homes; while others chant bhajans in the Lord’s temples. Some take baths in the holy Ganges and Yamuna; and others go to Kashi (Varanasi) and do meditation. Those who reverently serve (take care of) their parents; need not make pilgrimage to, (chant) or bathe in, any other holy place – (for they will have made the greatest pilgrimage, in this world, by daily prostrating themselves to the lotus feet of their parents). Bhajan that when you take care of your parents, you have Lord Rama in your heart, you have found your God in your heart. Then you would not need to go bathe in the Ganga and the Yamuna.
Kabhi Pyase Ko Pani (Prayer of reflection)
(Sing to Tum agar sath dene ka tune)
Kabhi pyase ko pani, pilaya nahi
Baadme amrith pilane se kya fayda(2)
Kabhi girte huve ko uthaya nahi
Baad aasu bahane se kya fayda.
If you never gave a thirsty person any water, then what is the point in giving him nectar granting immortality afterwards, or giving them medicine later, when it’s too late? If you never picked up a falling person, then what is the point in shedding tears afterwards when it’s too late?

Fir manav kehlane se kya fayda;

Daan karte huve ye khayaal aa gaya.(2)

Baadme amrith pilane se kya fayda

Aaja-aaja yahi mukti ka dham hai.(2)

Fir tirtho mein jaane se kya fayda;

All your places of worship are at the feet of your respected parents, Come. Come that is the place to achieve liberation and enlightenment, If you never did a selfless service for your father and mother, Then what is the point in going on pilgrimages?
….
The hands that help are holier than lips that pray. Real devotion did not lie in selfish acts but in honest thinking and living and helping others in need or distress. God realization is not possible through construction of temples, great and costly charities done or reading hymns done with out a good heart but only possible through sincere and simple acts of compassion performed with a true sense of devotion.
Lelo Lelo Duwaaye Maa Baap kee (Mother/Father)
Lelo lelo duwaaye maa baap kee,
Sar se utaregee gathree paap kee
Now take blessings from your Mother and Father. With their blessings, you will succeed in your life and will be able to free yourself from the burden of many of the sins you carry.
God ma maa kee aakh khulee jag
Dekhaa baap ke kaandhe charhke
Sewaa baree ne hogee ko-ee
In dono ki sewaa se barh-ke
You opened your eyes for the first time while in your mother’s lap. You saw the world first being carried on your father’s shoulder. No duty in the world comes before your duty to your mother and father.
Dukh sehnaa maa baap ki khaatir
Farz to hai ehsaan nahee
Karz hai inkaa tere sar par
Bhikshaa yaa ko-i daan nahee
Make every effort to serve your mother and father. Whatever you do for them is not charity, but your sacred duty as their child. They did the same for you in your childhood, withour thought of payment but that debt remains to be paid.
Maat pitaa ke charan chhu-e jo,
chaar dhaam teerath phal paawe
Jo aasheesh ye dil se de
bhagawaan se bhee taalee na jaaye
Any child who honors his parents’ wishes is always blessed with the fruit of fulfilling the four purpose of life – Dharm (righteousness), Arth (wealth), Kaam (enjoyment) and Moksh (salvation).
Maa Nahi Milti (Mother)
Yaad kisi ko ho to, aisee baat sunaye
Jisme kahi na kahi, maa ka naam na aaye
Duniya me koi aisee das, ta nahi milti,
Sab kuch mil jata hai, lekin ha, ma nahi milti
Can anyone remember and tell us a story in which Mother’s name does not appear? In the whole world we cannot find such a story without a Mother.
O Koun si hai wo cheez jo yaha nahi milti
Sabh kuch mil jata hai lekin haa, Maa nahi milti
In this world, with the right amount of effort one can achieve almost anything he wants. However, there is one thing that he can easily acquire; the love of a Mother.
Jinki ma hoti hai, khush kismat hote hai
Jinki ma nahi hoti, jivan bhar rote hai
Jism unhe milte hai lekin, jaa nahi milti
Sab kuch mil jata hai lekin ha, ma nahi milti
Ha ma nahi milti
Those who still have their mothers are very fortunate. Children cry bitterly when they lose their mothers. Such children without mothers live without the desire to really live.
Koun si hai wo cheez jo yaha nahi milti
Sabh kuch mil jata hai lekin haa, Maa nahi milti
In this world, with the right amount of effort one can achieve almost anything he wants. However, there is one thing that he can easily acquire; the love of a Mother.
Mandir pe bhi aye man kuch raahi nahi rukte
Ishwar ke aage bhi, kitne sar nahi jhukte
Ma ko jo na mane wo, zuba nahi milti
Sab kuch mil jata hai lekin ha, ma nahi milti
Ha ma nahi milti
Some people do not and refuse to acknowledge the value of praying in Mandirs. Some others see no importance in bow to God. But there is no one in this world whose voice will fail to acknowledge Mother and her love.
Koun si hai wo cheez jo yaha nahi milti
Sabh kuch mil jata hai lekin haa, Maa nahi milti
ha ma nahi milti
In this world, with the right amount of effort one can achieve almost anything he wants. However, there is one thing that he can easily acquire; the love of a Mother.
Maa Mujhe Apne (Mother)
Maa mujhe apne
Aanchal mein chupa le
gale se laga le
ki aur mera koi nahi
Phir na sataaunga kabhi paas bula le
gale se laga le
ki aur mera koi nahi
maa mujhe apne …
O Mother, O Maa, cover me in your Aanchal. I have no one else to go to for selfless love. I know I have said harsh things to you in the past but O Ma, I promiae you that won’t hurt you again. Call me near to you O Maa and hold me O Mother. (Aachal the end of the shawl that covers a mother’s breast)
Bhool meri chhoti si bhool jaao maata
aaise koi apno se rooth nahi jaata
Rooth gaya hu main
tu mujhko mana le
gale se laga le
ki aur mera koi nahi
maa mujhe apne …
Forgive me O Mother if I have I ever hurt you even in a small way. How long can a loving mother be upset with her child? In the past, you always made me laugh when I was upset. Your love is always pure and unconditional.
God me teri aaj tak main pala hoon
ungali pakad ke teri maan main chala hoon
Tere bina mujhko
ab kaun sambhaale
gale se laga le
ki aur mera koi nahi
maa mujhe apne …
O Maa, I may not be surrounded by pure darkness but I see no light at this moment. I am not dead, but I do not feel like I am not fully alive either. You left me and there is no one left who can watch over me the way you do. Only you give me the kind of selfless love which I need. Everyone else have love with conditions attached.
Maa Teri Mamta (Mother)
Maa teri mamta kitni pyaree, kitna pyar jagaate hai
Swaas swaas ke raksha karti, pag pag praan bachati hai
How sweet is Your love, Oh Mother. You are the vast ocean of love. We are reminded of Your great compassion. You protect your children with every breath and you are the savior of our lives at every step.

Tu maato say bhaag jagaaday, bhaagi Bhaagi aati hai…
You are the knowledge and wisdom of the Rishis. Oh mother, You are the power of Bramha’s devotion and the power of Vishnu’s illusion. You are the power of Shiva’s shakti. When Your presence is invoked, You rush to help and bestows faith in abundance.
Tu Kali Maha Kali Durga, tu hai baal Bhavani hai
Tu puran kaa saar Sharadaa, tu Vedo ki baani hai
Tu baalak goad may lay kar, jeewan geet sunaati hai…
You are the greatness of Kali and the ever-mild Bhawani. You are the voice of the Puranas and Vedas. You take Your children in Your arms and sing to them the sweet songs of life.

Swaas swaas ke raksha karti, pag pag praan bachati hai
kitna pyar jagaate hai.
Maa teri mamta kitni pyaree, kitna pyar jagaate hai
kitna pyar jagaate hai.
Maataa Putra Se Pyaar (Mother)
Maataa putra se pyaar kiyaa hai jitnaa,
Kown karegaa itnaa
Who can love a child as much as a mother does?
Who else in this world can give that kind of love?
Now maheene udar me raakhaa
Jab duniyaa me aayaa
Sardee lagegee chaadar orhaa-
Kar stan doodh pilaayaa
Dear Mother carries her child in her womb for nine whole months. She shares all with the child, half of what she eats and drinks and protects that baby step after step. After the child is born, she take care of it and makes sure that the child never be cold during the nights, and breastfeeding him when he cries in hunger for food.
Thapak thapak kar sukh se sulaayaa
Gaakar surlaa bhajanaa
Beemaar pare jab vaidya bulaakar
Owshadh paan karaayaa
She put the child to sleep by cuddling and tapping him lightly and singing him songs with her sweet mother voice. And when the child gets sick, she is concerned about the baby more that she is for herself and she makes sure that she has the right care.
Jawaan bhaye jab shaadee karnaa
Tab tak prem na chhoote
Maataa ki mamtaa aisee baree hai
Saagar baraa hai jitnaa
Friends, for this reason when you will have grown up and get married and live away from your Mother never forget your mother, for a mother’s love is unfathomable and endless like the very ocean itself.
Maa Hai Mohabbat ka (Mother)
Maa hai mohabbat ka naam,

Mahimaa Tihaar Bhagavan (Memorial Prayer)
Mahimaa tihaar bhagavan, kis bhaati mai sunaa-oo
Sab lok gaa rahe hai, kyaa gaaya mai sunaa-oo
How and in what way can I sing Your Glory, O Lord?
The Sun, the moon, stars, the intellectuals and scholars are all engaged in singing, but what song can I sing O Lord?
Jag hai rachaa tihaaraa, to paalataa ise hai
Avasaan haath te-re, at-kal kahaa lagaa-oo
This world is part of Your entire creation, and You sustain all of it.
This world finds its destruction too at Your hands. (Our ends also come at your hands)
What can I learn further about You?
Sab jyaan sot too haiii, bhandaar bal tumee ho
Tere binaa na kuchh bhee, mahimaa kahaa bakhaan-oo
You are the source of all learning, and you are the source of all strength. Without You O God, nothing can be achieved. How can I explain Your Glory?
Chahu or raashi jal hai, dharanee su-vishtri-taa hai
Ravi chand shubhra jyot-snaa, kaise kripaa lakhaa-oo
The Earth is spread across such a vast expanse of space.
All around, we find vast expanses of water.
In addition, we have the sun and the moon with their gracious light.
How can we thank You for all these graces?
Mailee Chaadar Odhke Kaise (Worship)
Maile Chaadar Odhke Kaise
Dwaar Tumhaare Aaoon
Hey Paavan Parameshwara Mere
Man Hi Man Sharmaaoon
O Lord of Purity! How can I present myself to you at Your door with a mind which is like a dirty shawl? I am ashamed to think of the dirty shawl I will wear when I come back to You to account for my deeds which I have performed in this world.
Tune Mujhko Jag Me Bhejaa
Nirmal Dekar Kaayaa
Is Sansaar Me Aakar Maine
Isko Daag Lagaaya
Janam Janam Ki Maili Chaadar
Kaise Daag Chudaaoon
You sent me into this world pure and with a spotlessly clean mind, but during the sixty or so years which I have lived, I have stained it with so many sins. I have brought some stains in my causal body even from several of my past births. How can I now wash away these countless stains O God?
Nirmal Vaani Paakar Tujhse
Naam Na Teraa Gaayaa
Nain Moondhkar He Parameshwar
Kabhi Naa Tujhko Dhyaayaa
Man Veena Ki Taaren Tooti
Ab Kyaa Geeth Sunaaoon
You gave me a sweet, cuckoo-like musical instrument of a voice, and requested for me to sing You songs of love. Unfortunately, I never closed my eyes and tried to meditate on Your gracious self nor did I call Your Name. My body is broken, and my once melodious voice is gone and now rough.
In Pairon Se Chal Kar Tere
Mandir Kabhi Na Aayaa
Jahaan Jahaan Ho Poojaa Teri
Kabhi Naa Sees Jhukaayaa
Hey Harihar Main Haar Ke Aayaa
Ab Kyaa Haar Chadhaaoon
My two feet never lead me to the Temple of Your worship, and I did not ever bow my head in acknowledgement of those engaged in Your worship. O God, in this sixtieth year of my life, I am in complete ruin. What gift can I now present to You O glorious God?

O Lord, even if the whole world were to become my enemy, and my life were to become an unbearable weight on me! Even if death were to take me I would concentrate my thoughts on Your Lotus Feet.

Rahe dhyaan tumhaare charano me
Even if all kinds of difficulties were to surround me, and I was engulfed in total darkness from all sides, still my mind would continue to be focused on Your Lotus Feet.

Jaago owr jagaa-o sab ko samai hai aisaa aayaa
Let us do away with the these walls which we have created among ourselves, differences of of color and race, which is used to separate humans into groups, sects and castes. The age of change is here and we will change our bad habits. Wake up from this spiritual slumber and help to also awaken your sleeping brothers and sisters.

When our body limbs give out fragrance, we make the world fragrant. Our life becomes a lamp that gives light to others. We then embody the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and serve the cause of Vedas and Puraan.

Nirvana Shatakam
Adi Shankaracharya’s Nirvana Shatakam, which was composed over 1200 years ago, is an embodiment of the “not this, not this” (neti, neti) teaching…which, when understood, can lead to the state of enlightenment, freedom, happiness and peace of mind. In these verses, Adi Shankaracharya explains how one should investigate and understand the true nature of the Atman (self) by rejecting the Anatma’s. (Non-self)
These verses are a powerful demonstration of the breadth and range of understanding which when truly practiced, leads to enlightenment. Some of them are easy to comprehend whereas others challenge the depths of our very own identity and challenges our very understanding of all we have taken for granted.
In these verses, every attachment – material, emotional, spiritual or any other, every belief, every experience, sensation, bodily function and our very existence is examined and negated. When we realize that we cannot be both the subject and the object, the each of these elements in our existence is “not me”, we realize that we are only the observer, and then we are motivated to refocus on the self as the observer. And when the observer is found to be not separate, then the entire dualistic structure collapses and everything is found to be That, One, or that Being-ness.
Our Guruji Swami Veda Bharati taught of Oneness with Universe, Oneness with Nature and Oneness with God!
And as he has taught us, this is the realization which leads to the true feeling of Oneness with Universe, Oneness with Nature and Oneness with God!

Prabhu Bhakti Me Man Ko (Prayer)
Prabhu Bhakti me man ko lagaa-i-ye
Wah sab kaa hi paalan haar hai
Dukh door karegaa param-aatmaa,
sarv sukho kaa wah bhandaar hai
Create in your mind the devotion to the Lord. He is your sustainer, your support and your guide, and he is the remover of all your pains. He alone can grant happiness unto you, O man.
Khaalee uske dwaar se aaye, aisaa kabhi na ho saktaa
Param pita ko bhool ke praanee, such se kabhi na so saktaa
Saaree srishti ka wah aandhaar hai
Uskee mahimaa kaa paayaa na paar hai
It is never possible to return empty handed from God’s door, O man. If you ever forget that he is the master of the universe, then you will not sleep in peace. The temptation of the world will always haunt you and leave you restless. He is the sustainer of the world and no one has been able to understand his glory.
Bhaa-ee bandhu maal khazaanaa, saath tere na jaa-e-gaa
Dharm he hai ik ant kaa saathee, kaam tere jo aa-e-gaa
Shubh karmo se hotaa beraa paar hai
Naav paapee ko doobe majh-dhaar hai
O man, no one and nothing will accompany you when you exit this world! Not brother, nor friend, nor wealth. Nothing of the material world that you hold dear will follow you. Dharma will be your only friend in your last moments. With good deeds on this journey, you will cross over the turbulent sea of life. With evil deeds you will only drown in the currents.
Vishayo me phas karke bande, jeevan ko barbaad no kar
Na tan cholaa uttam hai ye, paap ne kar apraadh na kar
Nandlaal prabhu niraa-kaar hai
Namaskaar use baar baar hai
O Man, you only end up destroying the unlimited potentials of a wonderful life by getting trapped in the realm of sense-pleasures. This body is a precious gift for you to use in gaining that Moksha, that Nirvana. Do not be caught up in the sinful cycle of existing only for the sense-pleasures O Man. Always think and act within the moral laws of God.
Pinjre Ke Panchee (Memorial)
Pinjre ke panchhee rey teraa dard na jaane koy
Baahar se too khaamosh rahe too, bheetar bheetar roee
O you bird-like soul imprisoned in that cage-like body! No one else knows your pain. On the outside you are silent, but deep within you weep – you so much desire to fly to Freedom.
Keh na sake too, apni kahaanee,
Teree bhee panchhee kyaa zindagaanee re
Vidhi ne teree kathaa lickee, asoo me kalam duboy
The pain of your bondage is so intense that you cannot describe your feelings to anyone. O bird-like soul, what can be said about such a painful life? It seems as if Fate has written your story with its pen dipped in tears.
Chupke chupke rone-waale,
Rakhnaa chhipaa ke dil ke chhaale re
Ye patthar kaa desh hai pagle, ko-i na teraa hoy
Pinjre ke panchhee rey teraa dard na jaane koy
You have wept silently and have hidden the blisters burning your heart. It seems that this world is filled with stone-hearted people; no one will sympathize with, or help you, O simple-minded one!
Pitaa-jee Tum Patit (Prayer)
Pitaa-jee tum patit-uddhaaranhaar
Deen Sharan kangaal ke svaamee
Dukh ke mochan-haar, pita-jee ….
O Father, you are the one who helps the fallen and the timid.
Those who are in trouble and distress seek to be one with you and you help those who are unfortunate. O Pitaji, O father Dukh ke mochan-haar – you release them from their suffering. We understand that we are the cause of our own suffering and we reap what we have sown, but O God, we ask for your continued guidance to help us overcome our self-inflected troubles.
Is jag maayaa jaal bhraman me
Soojhe na saar asaar, pita-jee ….
We know O god that jag maayaa this world is nothing but a web of illusions and while we have been passing through, we have not gained the slightest understanding of what is real and what is unreal. We have not learned how to separate the two. Without this knowledge we will flail about endlessly O Lord. Give me the mental capacity and strength to differentiate the real from the unreal.
Satya jyaan bin andha sam dole
Kare asatya aachaar, pita-jee ….
Without satya jyaan knowledge of the truth, we keep wandering about as if we’re in darkness and our behavior is one of asatya or untruths. Grant us the light of knowledge so that we can identify the truths from the untruths O God.
Paap pravaah bhayankar jal me
Doobat hai majh-dhaar, pita-jee ….
Our flow of ungodly-like behavior is like the flow of rough waters, and the current in it can cause one to sink below. O Lord, we know that we should walk that straight and righteous path, but we need your blessings to transcend to the next level of spiritual intelligence O God. Give us this blessing O Father.
Tumharee dayaa bin ko samarath hai
Kare deen do paar, pita-jee ….
O Lord, without your mercy, we are incapable of crossing these rough waters. Guide us so we can use the intellect that you have given me so we can get beyond the despair of life O God. Help me use the discipline to listen to my intuition, my tuition from within, my communication with you O God, so I fan fulfill my unlimited potential in this life.
Pitu Maatu Sahaayak (Prayer)
Pitu maatu sahayak swami sakha,
tumhi eka naath hamare ho
Jinke kuchu aur aadhar nahee,
Tin ke tum hee rakhvaare ho
Sab bhaati sada sukh dayak ho,
dukh durgun naashan hare ho
Pratipaal karo sigare jag ko,
atishaya karunaa urdhare ho
Bhoole hai hum hee tum ko tum to,
hamaree sudhi naahi visaare ho
Upkaaran ko kuchu ant nahee,
chhin hi chin jo vistaare ho
Mahaaraaj maha mahima tumharee,
samjhe virle budhee vaare ho
Shubha shanti niketan prem nidhe
man mandir ke ujiyaare ho
Is jeevan ke tum jeevan ho,
in praanan ke tum pyaare ho
Tum so prabhu paaya prataap haree,
Kihi ke ab aur sahaare ho
You are our Father, Mother, Lord & Friend, without whom we would have nothing.
You are indeed the protector of he who has no other support in this world. You are the giver of happiness and you destroy pains and sorrows. Protect all of this world O Lord. You are the all merciful one. We have from time to time shown the tendency to forget you O Lord, but you never forget us.
The scope of your powers is such that most do not understand it but we know that you are all Peace and Love. You are the light of my life and my very life-force O God.
Phoolo Se Tum Hasnaa (Reflection on life)
Phoolon se tum hasna seekho, bhawaron se tum gaana
Sooraj ki kiranon se seekho, jaganaa aur jagaanaa…
Dhoo-e se tum saare seekho, oochee manzil jaanaa
vaayu kee jhoke se seekho, harkat me le aanaa…
Vriksho kee daalee se seekho, phal paakar jhuk jaanaa
Mehandee ke patto se seekho, pis pis rang charhaanaa
Patte aur pero se seekho, dukh me dheer bandhaanaa
Dhaage aur su-ee se seekho, bichhure gale lagaanaa
Murgo kee bolee se seekho, praatah prabhu gun gaanaa
Paanee kee machh-lee se seekho, dharm ke hit mar jaanaa…
There are many things we can learn from looking at our surroundings.
Learn from the flowers how to smile and laugh, and from the black bees, how to sing. And learn from the sun how to wake up early and help to awake others too.
Learn from the smoke how to rise high, to aim for new heights in life and from the wind on how to inspire motion into that which is still.
Look at the limbs of a tree laden with fruits and beholds how it bends downwards. This is the vital lesson in humility. Only those who have something to offer will bend, not others. And what lesson the mehendi leaf has to offer? The more you grind it, the more it gives out its color. Therefore O man, the more you encounter difficulties, the more you should embrace and display your divinity.
Learn to be calm in times of calamity like the leaves and trees. And from needle and thread, learn to bring together and embrace those separated from their loved ones.
Learn even from the hens how to sing God’s praises early in the morning, and from the fish, to die for your dharma.
Poojneeya Prabhu (Prayer)
Poojneeya prabho hamaare bhaava ujjwal keejiye,
Chhor deve chhal-kapat ko, maansik bal deejiye.
Veda kee gaave richaaye, satya ko dhaaran kare,
Harsh me ho magn saare, shhok saagar se tare.
Ashvamedhaadik rachaaye, yajna par-upkaar ko,
Dharm maryaadaa chalaakar, laabha de sansaar ko.
Nitya shraddhaa bhakti se yajnaadi ham karte rahe
Rog peerit vishva ke santaap sab harte rahe.
Bhaavanaa mit jaave man se, paap atyaachaar kee
Kaamanaaye poorna hove, yajna se nar-naar kee.
Laabhakaari ho havan, har jeevadhaaree keliye
Vaayu jai sarvatra ho, shubh gandh ko dhaaran kiye.
Svaartha-bhaav mite hamaaraa, prem path vistaar ho
Idanna mama kaa saarthak, pratyek me vyavhaar ho.
Haath jor jhukaaye mastak, vandanaa ham kar rahe
Naath karunaa roop karunaa, aapkee sab par rahe.
Venerable Lord, make our intentions clear so that we may be free fi deception; give us mental strenght.
May we chant the Vedic hymns and uphold truth, Let all be immersed in joy and cross beyond the sea of grief.
May we arrange Vedic yajnas to bring about the well-being of all. Lit within the boundaries of righteousness, may we be of benefit to the woe.
Regularly may we perform yajnas with faith and devotion?
May the disease-afflicted world be free from all sorrows?
Let our mind be free from the sins of lust and atrocity. Let the desires of men and women be filled through self sacrifice.
May our sacrifice be beneficial to all living organisms?
May the wind and water everywhere maintain sweet odour.
May our selfish intentions be wiped away and the path of love be extena Let unselfish and useful attitudes prevail in all our dealings.
With folded hands and bowed heads we pay obeisance to Thee. Let Thy Lordly form of compassion prevail on us all.
Raahi Manva Dukh Ki Chinta (Prayer)
(Dukh Ho Ya Sukh,
Jab Sada Sang Rahe Na Koi
Phir Dukh Ko Apanaaiye,
Ke Jaae To Dukh Na Hoye)
May there be sorrow or happiness.
When it does not remain with you always!
So you better accept sorrow, So that when it goes away, you do not feel sorry.
Raahi manva dukh ki chinta kyo sataati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai (2)
Sukh hai ek chhaanv dhalti aati hai jaati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai…
O traveller why do you worry about sorrow!
Sorrow is our friend and happiness is but a transient shadow – it comes and goes
only sorrow is our companion – don’t worroy about it.
Door hai manzil door sahi
Pyar hamaara kya kam hai
Pag mein kaante laakh sahi
Par ye sahaara kya kam hai
Hamraah tere koi apna to hai (2)
Hoooo …, sukh hai ek chhaanv dhalti …
Aati hai jaati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai
If destination is afar, so be it. Is our love any less [powerful]?
Even if there are thousands of thorns in path, is our support any less?
O traveller, you do have your someone, sorrow is our friend.
Raahi manva dukh ki chinta kyon sataati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Sukh hai ek chhaanv dhalti aati hai jaati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai…
O traveller why do you worry about sorrow!
Sorrow is our friend and happiness is but a transient shadow, it comes and goes
only sorrow is our companion
Dukh ho koi tab jalte hain
Path ke deep nigaahon mein
Itni badi is duniya ki
Lambi akeli raahon mein
Hamraa ha tere koi apna to hai(2)
Ho O … sukh hai ek chhaanv dhalti …
During the sorrow only, light up lamps of path in your eyes
(you find goodness in world only when in sorrow)
in such a big world on long lonely paths
o traveller, you do have your someone
Aati hai jaati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Raahi manva dukh ki chinta kyon sataati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai
sorrow is our friend
O traveller why do you worry about sorrow
sorrow is our friend
Saat Bhaaware Jis Se Pare (Wedding)
Saat bhaaware jis-se paree, wohee saath nibhaa-ye-gee
Par naaree kee preet kaam kitne din aayegee
O husband! When you have made seven circumambulations around the sacramental fire with your wife, she promised to live with you all lifetime. How many days do you think another woman will live with you?
Bhool se samjhaa jisko toone amrit kee pyaalee
Wo to madiraa hai tujhko behkaa dene waalee
Madiraa Gangaa kee paawantaa kahaa se laayegee
In practicing infidelity, you accept intoxicating wine and considered it to be a cup of nectar. This is the vital flaw in your judgment. Intoxication can never bring Purity in your life.
Do praano kaa bandhan hai do din ki nahee ye baat
Saat bhaawaro kaa matlab hai saat janam kaa saath
Seetaa jab jan-megee Raam ko byaahee jaayegee
Two people get married to live not for a couple days together, but for a full lifetime, because seven circumambulations symbolize seven lives together. An ideal woman, like Seetaa, is born to get married to an ideal man, like Raam.
Sab ke saam-ne haath thaamkar jise diyaa dhokhaa
Us par kyaa beetee hogee, toone ye nahee sochaa
Tarap kisee kee tujhe zindagee bhar tar-paaye-gee
When you deceive your duly married wife by practicing infidelity, you never know the anguish you inflict on her. Her sighs caused in pain and anguish will make you live in anguish all your life, O husband!

Tumhe tajkar kahaa jaa-oo hitoo ko aur hia meraa
Take me into your shelter O Merciful God. I am now totally surrendered to you like a servant to his master. Leaving your feet there is no other, no where else to go. Where shall I go to find another like you?
Bhataktaa hoo mai muddat se nahee aaraam paataa hoo
Dayaa kee drishti se dekho nahee to doobataa beraa
Sataayaa raag dvesho ne tapaayaa teen taapo ne
Dukhaayaa janma mrityu kaa hu-aa behaal hai meraa
I have been lost and wandering around aimlessly, failing to find a place of rest & comfort. Be merciful O Lord or my boat will surely sink in the strong currents of the rocky stream of this world.
O Lord! I am so tormented by feeling of like, dislike and hate and this has caused so much stress & tension in me. The cycle of birth & death has served to only increase this pain inside me. This is the cause for my present state of disharmony, desperation and ruin.
Dukho ko metane vaalaa tumhaaraa naam sunkar mai
Sharan me aa giraa ab to bharosaa naath hai teraa
Kshamaa apraadh kar mere fakat ab aas hai teree
Dayaa ’baldeva’ par karke banaale naath nij cheraa
I have heard from my teachers and their experiences that your name is meditated upon, brings an end to all pains. For this I am now falling at your feet, for all my faith is in you, O God.
O Lord, I beg of you to forgive my sins and all my hope is on you. Be merciful and allow me to become your true devotee. Show me the way O God!

Jo tum ho swaamee to ham hai sevak
Jo tum pitaa ho to ham hai baalak
Jo tum ho thaakur to ham pujaaree
There is an inseparable bond between You and me O God. You are the Master and I am your servant! You are the Father and I am the child! O Merciful One, have mercy on me.
Pradaan kardo mahaan shakti
Bharo hamaare me jyaan bhakti
Tabhee kahaa-o ge taap-haaree
Grant me great power of understanding. Have mercy on me, O merciful One, for You are called the Remover of pain.

Sur Kee Gati Mai (Prayer)
Sur kee gati mai kyaa jaanoo, ek bhajan karnaa jaando
What do I know of sound and its variations? All I know is to sing a song of love.
Marma bhajan kaa bhee ati gehraa, usko bhee mai kyaa jaanoo
Prabhu prabhu prabhu karnaa jaanoo, naino jal jharnaa jaanoo
I do not know the intricacies of singing. All I can sing is, Prabhu, Prabhu, Prabhu – Lord, My God, O My Lord, let my eyes fill with tears of His Love.

Mai bolaa mai prem diwaanaa, itnee baate kyaa jaanoo
People have always argued with me about my belief in God, telling me that God would never abandon His Justice even if we were to sing His name over and over. ‘Then why sing His Name?’ they asked me. In replying, I said, ‘I am only interested in loving Him. I care for Him, not for what I can have in return. What do I understand of your logic?’

And don’t forget God – He granted you with this human form for a purpose. Remember your loving parents who brought you into this world. Live in unity and harmony with your brothers and sisters, like water and milk do when mixed together.
Tora Man Darpan Kahalaaye (Prayer)
Tora man darpan kahalaye
Bhale bure sare karmo ko,
Dekhe aur dikhaye
Tora man darpan kahalaye
When we ask our God, “How can we get to you?” And He answers, “You get to me by conquering your own mind; do this and you will get tome.” Your mind is your own mirror. Good or Bad, it sees and reflects all of yourself and all of your actions – Karma.
Mind is like your Goddess – Devata; your mind is like God – Eshwar, nobody is more important than mind. When the light – Purity of mind spreads, the world becomes knowledgeable. O Man, don’t let dust gather on this clean mirror. (mind).
Man hi devata, man hi ishvar, man se baraa na ko-i
Man ujiyaaraa jab jab phaile, jag ujiyaaraa ho-i
Is ujale darpan per praanee, dhool na jamne paaye
………. Tora man darpan kahalaye
This mind is a devtaa and a great blessing to you and it is the guardian of this body. In this body, nothing is more powerful than the mind. You only understand the universe when the mind is functioning. Never let the dust of negligence dirty the surface of the mind and inhibit its functions and potentials.
You can only understand the part you play in this universe, understand your purpose and understand what it takes to fulfill that purpose of you control and consciously use the mind to help on your journey.
Sukh ki kaliyaa, dukh ke kaante, man sabaka adhar
Man se ko-ee baat chhupe na, man ke nain hazaar
Jag se ko-ee bhaag le ko-ee, man se bhaag na paaye
………. Tora man darpan kahalaye
The mind perceives our pleasant and unpleasant experiences and no secrets can be hidden from the mind. We can try to ignore and run away from the world but we cannot from the mind. That is why that famous saying goes that ‘a traveler never returns’! Because with every experience, we learn and change – for the better or worse – but we change and is never the same person ever again!
Tan kee daulat dhaltee chhaayaa man kaa dhan anmol
Tan ke kaaran man ke dhan ko mat maatee me rol
Man kee kadar bhulaane waalaa, heeraa janma gawaaye
………. Tora man darpan kahalaye
The wealth of this body comes to an end, but that wealth of the mind is precious. Never put the body ahead of the mind. In not trying to be in control of the mind we waste away the potential of this life O Man.
Tumhee Mere Mandir
Tumhee mere mandir, tumhee meree poojaa
Tumhee devataa ho, tumhee devataa ho
Ko-ee meree aakho se dekhe to samjhe, ki tum mere kyaa ho
You are my Temple, you are my worship, you are my god. Anyone who looks into my eyes will understand who you are to me.
Jidhar dekh-tee hoo, udhar tum hi tum ho
Na jaane magar kin khayaalo me gum ho
Mujhe dekh-kar tum zaraa muskuraa do
Nahee to mai sam-jhoongee mujhse khafaa ho
I see no one else but you everywhere I turn, but you seem lost in your own thoughts. Do smile when you look at me or else I may feel that you are not pleased with me.
Tumhee mere maathe kee bindiyaa kee jhil-mil
Tumhee mere haatho ke gazaro kee manzil
Mai hoo ek chhotee si maati ki guriyaa
Tumhee praan mere, tumhee aat-maa ho
You are the light in the Bindi on my forehead, and the destination in the bracelets on my hands. I am nothing more than an insignificant clay-doll. You are the source of my life, my breath and my soul.
Bahut raat beetee, chalo mai sulaa-doo
Pawan chhere saregam mai loree sunaa-doo
Tumhe dekh-kar ye khayaal aa rahaa hai
Ki jaise farishtaa ko-ee so rahaa hai
Come now, it is very late, let me send you to sleep. The wind is playing soft music and I will sing you a lullaby. When I look at you I feel you are an angel sleeping.
Tumhi Ho Maata (Prayer)
Tumhi ho maata, pita tumhi ho,
Tumhi ho bandhu, sakha tumhi ho;
O Lord, you are our Mother, Father, Brother and Companion
Tumhi ho saathi, tumhi sahaare,
Koi na apna siva tumhaare;
Tumhi ho naya, tumhi ki vaiya,
Tumhi ho bandhu, sakha tumhi ho;
You are our friend and helper. Without you we have no one else. You are the boat and also the rower who take us across this rough sea of life.
Jo khil sake na, who phul ham hai
Tumhaare charano ki dhul hum hai;
Daya ki drishti sadaa hi rakhanaa,
Tumhi ho bandhu, sakha tumhi ho.
We your children are like those flowers which do not blossom because the spring of joy and happiness have not yet visited us. O Lord, we are the dunt that finds a welcome seat at your feet. O Lord always have mercy on us. You are our Brother and Companion.
Tere Dar Ko Chhor Kar (Prayer)
Tere dar ko chhor kar kis dar jaa-oo mai
Suntaa meree kaun hai, kisko sunaa-oo mai
Where can I go except to your door, to tell my problems & distress?
Who, except you would listen to me? Sometimes O God, I fail in using the intelligence which you have granted onto me. At these times, I need to come to your door and receive your guidance.
Jab se yaad bhu-laa-ee teere, laakho kasht uthaaye hai
Kyaa jaanoo is jeevan andhar, kitne paap kamaaye hai
Hoo sharmindaa aap se, kyaa bat-laa-oo mai
Ever since I have forgotten you, I have experienced endless problems and committed numerous sins. Now, I am ashamed of coming to your door to meet face to face with you. What can I say? I failed in many ways O God, especially in my daily duties. I have gotten away from listening to you everyday. I have gotten to the point that I no longer recognize or hear your voice.
Mere paap karm hi tujh se preeti na karne dete hai
Kabhee jo chaa-hoo miloo aapko, mujhe rok ye lete hai
Kaise swaamee aapke, darshan paa-oo mai
My bad actions and decisions have kept me from acknowledging and loving you. Many times I wanted to talk to you O God, but my bad tendencies kept me from doing so. How can I now O God, have a vision of your true self? I have let the temptations of this life lead me away from you. I have strayed away from the path you wanted me to travel O God. Now I try to get back onto that path.
Hai too naath varo kaa daataa tujh se sab var paate hai
Rishi muni aur yogee saare, tere hi gun gaate hai
Cheetaa dedo jyaan kaa, hosh me aa-oo mai
O Lord, you grant blessings and so, all the Rishes, Munis & Yogis sing your praises. I have lost my divine consciousness, the connection to you O God, Sprinkle me with your cool drops of your divine knowledge so I can regain that consciousness. O God, I need to reconnect with you so that I can begin to communicate with you once again. I have failed in using my connection with you, my intuition, to do the righteous things in this life and I need your help. O God, I need your guidance.
Jo beetee so beetee lekin, baakee umar sambhaaloo mai
Charano me jo baith aapke, geet prem ke gaaloo mai
Jeevan pyaare desh kaa saphal banaa-oo mai
I understand that I have to reap the fruits of actions I have already committed but inspire me O God so that I can take good care of the rest of my life. Let me sing your songs and take the right steps so that may realize my true purpose O God.
Guide me once again O Lord so that I can get onto that path of righteousness, so I can filter my thoughts and keep only the good ones and let go of the bad ones. I understand that this mind which you have given me is so very powerful and that where my mind goes, my feet soon follow. I need your help and guidance so that I can overcome my bad habits and desires. O God, for this I pray.
Tere Poojan Ko Bhagavaan (Prayer)
Tere poojan ko bhagavaan banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
Kisne dekhee teree maayaa, kisne bhed teraa hai paayaa
Rishi muni haare kar dhyaan, banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
Kisnee dekhee teree soorat, kaun banaa-e teree moorat,
Too hai niraakar bhagwaan, banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
O Lord, I have made a great temple in my mind to worship you.
Who understands your awesome power O God? Who understands your deep secrets?
The Rishis and Munis have meditated on you to understand the source of your power and have failed.
Who has really seen your face O God to be able to put an image to it?
Indeed you are formless O Lord
Yah sansaar hai teraa Mandir, too ramaa hai iske andar
Karte rishi muni sab dhyaan, banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
Too har gul me too bul bul me, too har shaakh me too har paatme
Too har dil me prabhoo ko maan, banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
This world is your temple, where you are worshipped and you exist in every corner of this temple. Because of this, all the Rishis and Munis meditate in this temple.
You are found in everything, in every flower, in every bubble, in every limb and every leaf. Every heart acknowledges your existence.
Saagar teree shaan barhaave, parvat teree shobhaa gave
Tere roop anoop mahaan, banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
Too ne raajaa rank banaaye, too ne bhikshuk raaj bithaaye
Teree leelaa eesh mahaan, banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
The seas point to your magnificence, the mountains sing your beauty. All your forms are great beyond compare.
You have made many kings into beggars and have caused beggars to sit in kings thrones. That is the greatness of your powers O God.
Jhoothe jag kee jhoothee maayaa, moorakh isme kyo bharmaayaa
Kar kuchh jeevan kaa kalyaan, banaa man mandir aaleeshaan
This false world projects only false illusions, O fool, why get tangled in this illusion. Work for the greater good of your life O Man.
Tu Kitni Achchhi Hai (Mother)
Tu kitni achhi hai, tu kitni bholi hai
Pyaari pyaari hai, O maa O maa O maa, O maa – 2
Ke yeh jo duniya hai, yeh ban hai kaanton ka
Tu phulwaari hai, O maa O maa O maa, O maa
O Mother, O Maa, you are so good, you are so innocent
You are so sweet, oh mother. This world is a forest of thorns
You are the flower garden, oh mother
Dookhan laagi hai maa teri aankhiyaa – 2
Mere liye jaagi hai tu, saari saari ratiyaa
Meri nindiyaa pe apni nindiyaa bhi, toone vaari hai,
O maa O maa O maa, O maa
Mother your eyes have started to hurt
You have stayed awake for me so many complete nights
For my sleep you have even given up your sleep
oh mother
(Tu kitni achhi hai, tu kitni bholi hai
Pyaari pyaari hai, O maa O maa O maa, O maa) – 2
Apna nahin tujhe sukh dukh koee – 2
Mai muskaaya tu muskaayi, mai roya tu royi
Mere hansne pe, mere rone pe
Tu balihaari hai, O maa O maa
O maa, O maa
You have no happiness or sorrow for yourself
You smiled when I smiled, you cried when I cried
On my laughing, on my crying
You give up every thing for me o mother
(Tu kitni achhi hai, tu kitni bholi hai
Pyaari pyaari hai, o maa o maa O maa, o maa) – 2
Maa bachon ki jaa hoti hai – 2
Voh hote hai kismat vaale, jinke maa hoti hai
Kitni sundar hai, kitni sheetal hai
pyaari pyaari hai, O maa O maa
O maa, O maa
For the kids the mother is part of their life
Those who have mothers are lucky
How beautiful you are, how proud I am of you
you are unique o mother
Oh mother
(Tu kitni achhi hai, tu kitni bholi hai
Pyaari pyaari hai, O maa O maa O maa, O maa) – 2
O maa, O maa
Tujhe Sooraj Kahoo (Father)
Tujhe sooraj kahoo ya chanda, Tujhe deep kahoo ya taaraa
Meraa naam karegaa roshan, jag me meraa raaj-dulaaraa
In this bhajans, a father addresses his first born son:
Shall I call you sun or moon, or lamp or star? I know that you will make my name shine my son, I know you will make me proud.
Meraa ghar thaa khalee khalee, chhaa-ee thee ajab udaasee
Jeevan thaa soonaa soonaa, har aas thee pyaasee pyaasee
Tere aate hi khushiyo se, bhar gayaa ye jeevan saaraa
My house was empty and filled with a kind of sadness and life was empty and thirsty for some kind of joy. Then you came and brought joy to our lives.
Main kab se taras raha tha, mere aangan mein ko-ee khele
Nanhee see hasee ke badle, meree saaree khushiyaa lele
Tere sang jhool rahaa hai, Meree baaho me jag saaraa
I was eager for some time for a child to play in my home. I was willing to forgo other joys in exchange for the innocent smile of a child. Now when I rock you, I feel like I rock the entire world.
Aaj ung-lee thaam ke teree, tujhe mai chalnaa sikhlaa-oo
Kal haath pakarnaa meraa, jab mai boorhaa ho jaa-oo
Tu milaa to maine paayaa, Jeene kaa nayaa sahaaraa
Today I hold your fingers and will teach you how to walk and when tomorrow I become frail and old you will be my guide and walking-stick.
Mere baad bhi is duniyaa me, zindaa meraa naam rahegaa
Jo bhee tujhko dekhegaa, Tujhe hi laal kahegaa
Tere roop me mil jaayegaa, mujhko jeevan dobaaraa
When I am no longer in this world, my name will shine on in you and others seeing you will call my name. I will carry on in you my child.
Usko Nahee Dekhaa (Mother)
Usko nahin dekha hamne kabhi,
par uski zaroorat kya hogi
Ai Maa! Ai Maa! teri surat se alag
Bhagwan ki surat kyaa hogee
We have never seen the face of God, O Maa but why should we try to see a face that would be no different from your face?
Insaan to kyaa Dev-taa bhee, aachal me pale tere
hai swarg isee duniyaa me kad-mo ke tale tere
mamtaa hi lutaaye jiske nayan, aisee ko-ee moorat kya hogee
Not only ordinary humans, but great souls have been nurtured in your aachal (part of sari that covers the breast) Heaven on earth is found at your feet O Maa! What other being can mirror the mother’s love in their eye?
Kyo dhoop jalaaye dukho kee, kyo gam kee ghataa barse
ye haath duwaa-o waale rehtee hai sadaa sar pe
too hai to andhere path me hame, sooraj kee zaroorat kyaa hogee
When we are blessed by your hands, how can pain and sorrow even touch us? We don’t even need the sunlight when you are there to guide us O Maa.
Kahte hai teree shaan me jo, ko-ee ooche bol nahee
Bhagwaan ke paas bhi Maata, tere pyaar ke mol nahee
hum to yehi jaane tujhse baree, sansaar ki daulat kyaa hogee
None can compare to you in greatness and no richness can be above you O Mother!
Uth Jaag Musafir (Prayer)
Uth jaag musafir, bhor bayi; ab rain kahaa, jo sovat hai
Jo sovat hai, so khovat hai, jo jaagat hai so paavat hai.
O traveler! Get up!
Get up from your slumber, for a new day has dawned – now is not the time to sleep anymore. Get up, open your eyes and seek to serve your purpose on this earth.
Tuk neend se aakhe khol zaraa aur apne eesh se dhyaan lagaa
Yaha preeti karan kee reeti nahee prabhu jaagat hai too sovat hai
During the time of dawn, great gifts of life are available for the taking and are given out just for just being awake and asking – the one who is awake can share of these rewards, but he who continues to sleep at the time of awakening loses so many great opportunities to improve themselves.
Jo kal karna hai aaj karle, jo aaj karna hai ab karle
Jab chiriyo no chug khet liyaa phir pachha-taaye kyaa hovat hai
Naadaan bhugat karnee apnee ai paapee paap me chain kahaa
Jab paap kee gatharee sees dharee phir sees pakar kyo rovat hai
‘Wake up, O wanderer, day breaks now; it is no longer night, so why do you sleep? While sleeping, you lose and not gain, while the wakeful receives and win.
Wake up now and do tomorrow’s work today and today’s work, do it now.’
Come out of your sleep now and think of your God and what potential he has given to you!
O foolish man, do you not realize that you will reap what you have sown? When you realize this, what do you stand to gain by doing things which are not right? And when you reap your just rewards, hold your head and cry.
O man get up and fulfill your true potential as my child.
Yeh To Sach Hai Ki Bhagavan hai (Prayer)
Yeh to sach hai ki Bhagwan hai
Hai magar phir bhi anjaan hai
Yeh to sach hai ki bhagwan hai
Hai magar phir bhi anjaan hai
Dharti pe roop maa baap ka
Us vidhaata ki pehchaan hai
Though it’s true that there is God,
But he is unknown to everybody
He is recognized on earth
In the form of parents
Yeh to sach hai ki Bhagwan hai
Janmdaata hai jo naam jin-se mila
Thaam kar jinki ungli hai bachpan chala
Kaandhe par baith ke jinke dekha jahaa
Gyan jin-se mila kya bura kya bhala
He(father) is the giver of life whose name we have attained
We held his finger and walked all the way through our childhood
On whose shoulders we sat and saw the world
He taught us the difference between right and wrong
Itne upkaar hain kya kahen
Yeh bataana na aasaan hai
Dharti pe roop maa baap ka
Us vidhaata ki pehchaan hai
There are so many favors
That it is not easy to tell them all
Yeh to sach hai ki Bhagwan hai
Janam deti hai jo maa jise jag kahe
Apni santaan mein pran jiske rahe
Loriyaa hothon par sapne bunti nazar
Neend jo vaar de hanske har dukh sahe
She give’s birth, who is known as the mother
Who has her life in her child
She has lullabies on her lips and dreams for her children in eyes
She sacrifice’s her sleep and bears all grief with a smile
Mamta ke roop mein hai prabhu
Aapse paaya vardaan hai
Dharti pe roop maa baap ka
Us vidhaata ki pehchaan hai
I have attained a boon from you God
In the form of the love of my mother
Yeh to sach hai ki Bhagwan hai
Aapke khawaab hum aaja hokar jawaan
Us param shakti se karte hain prarthna
Inki chhaya rahe rehti duniya talak
Ek pal reh sakein hum na jinke bina
Your dreams now after growing up
We pray to the Lord that
Your shadow should remain on us till the world end’s
We cannot live without you
Aap dono salaamat rahe
Sabke dil mein yeh armaan hai
Dharti pe roop maa baap ka
Us vidhaata ki pehchaan hai
Everybody’s heart desires
That you should remain safe
Yeh to sach hai ki Bhagwan hai
Hai magar phir bhi anjaan hai
Dharti pe roop maa baap ka
Us vidhaata ki pehchaan hai
Watan Ki Raah (Freedom fighter)
Watan ki raah me watan ke nowjawaan shaheed ho
Pukaarte hai ye zameen aasmaa shaheed ho
The Earth and Sky are appealing to young people to become martyrs for
the glory and welfare of their Motherland.
Shaheed teree mowt hi tere watan ki zindagee
Tere lahoo se jaag uthegee is chaman ki zindagee
Khilenge phool us jagah pe too jahaa shaheed ho
O Shaheed! O Martyr! Our country is like a garden. When you surrender your life, your blood will enrich the soil of this garden and ensure longer life for it. Roses will blossom on the very spot where you will lay down your life for your Motherland.
Watan ki laaj jisko thee azeez apni jaan se
Wo nowjawaan jaa rahaa hai aaj kitnee shaan se
Is ik jawaa ki khaak par har ik jawaa shaheed ho
Referring to Bhagat Singh, the poet continues: Throughout his life,
This martyr had and showed intense love for the honor of his country.
This martyred youth was carried with so much dignity. Every youth should follow his supreme example of a fighter for freedom.
Hai kown khush-naseeb maa, ki jiskaa ye chiraag hai
Wo khush-naseeb hai kahaa, ye jiske sar kaa taaj hai?
Amar wo desh kyo na ho, ki too jahaa shaheed ho?
Who is the fortunate mother of this martyred youth? He was the lamp of her heart.
O Youth! Your country will become immortal when you, like Bhagat Singh, offer your life to defend it?
Yah Om Kaa Jhandaa (Om Flag Raising)
While chanting the Mantra below, pour water at the base of the Flag Staff
Om achyutaaya bhaumaaya swaahaa
Let this flagpole be firmly placed in the Earth to keep this Om Flag flying in dignity and pride.
Raise the Om Flag while singing the following lines;
Yah Om kaa jhandaa aataa hai,
Yah Om kaa jhandaa aataa hai,
sone waalo jaag chalo
sone waalo jaag chalo
Here is this Om Flag raising and unfurling, O Sleepers! Awake and be active!
Lekar ugate ravi kee laalee, le nitya vasanti hariyaalee
Yah lele lahare aataa hai, dharti ke jaage bhaag chalo
This flag is the brilliant, golden color of the rising sun and the greenery of the spring season, and here it is being raised with fluttering wave-like, to awaken the fortune of all of mankind.
Ab prem sach-chaayee vidyaa kaa, yah jhandaa leh-raayaa baakaa
Himsaa paakhand avidyaa se, kah do ab tum bhaag chalo
This Om flag represents all of Truth, Love and Learning. As we all raise this beautiful Flag, let us all say with one together voice: “Away with violence, superstition, and the darkness of ignorance in society.”
Popular Oldies Songs from Movies
Ae Mere Watan Ke Loge (A call to People of India)
A call to the people on India and meaning; ‘O! The people of Motherland’
Ae mere vatan ke logon
Tum khoob laga lo naara
Ye shubh din hai ham sab ka
Lehera lo tiranga pyaara
O! The people of my motherland!
Raise all the slogans you desire,
This is a great day for us all,
Hoist your beloved tricolor,
Par mat bhoolo seema par
Eeeron ne hai praan ganvae
Kuch yaad unhein bhi kar lo
Kuch yaad unhein bhi kar lo
Jo laut ke ghar na aaye
Jo laut ke ghar na aaye
But don’t forget on the border,
The brave did lose their lives,
And remember each great soldier,
Who did not return home ever,
Ae mere vatan ke logon
Zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani
O! the people of my motherland!
Shed a few tears,
For those who martyred on ice,
Remember their great sacrifice!
Ae mere vatan ke logon
Zara aankh mein bhar lo paani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani
Tum bhool na jaao unko
Is liye kahi ye kahaani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani
You don’t forget them,
That is why I am reciting you the tale
Jab desh mein thi diwali
Woh khel rahe the holi
Jab ham baithe the gharon mein
Jab ham baithe the gharon mein
Woh jhel rahe the goli
Sangeen pe dhar kar maatha
So gaye amar balidaani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani
Resting their head on the soil,
Sacrificed and slept immortal,
For those who martyred on ice,
Remember their great sacrifice!
When the country celebrated Diwali,
They played with their blood the game of Holi,
When we were sitting safe at our homes,
They dealt with deadly bullets and bombs.
Blessed they were those soldiers,
Blessed were their youths,
Jab ghayal hua himaalaya
Khatre mein padi aazadi
Jab tak thi saans lade woh
Jab tak thi saans lade woh
Phir apni jaan gawaa di
When injured was the Himalayan might,
Our freedom was in jeopardy,
Till their last breath did they fight,
And then laid their dead body,
Jo khoon gira parvat par
Woh khoon tha hindustaani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani
The blood that stained the mountain,
That blood was that of an Indian,
For those who martyred on ice,
Remember their great sacrifice!
Koi Sikh koi jaat Maraatha
Koi Sikh koi jaat Maraatha
Koi Gurakha koi Madaraasi
Koi Gurakha koi Madaraasi
Sarhad pe marane vaala
Sarhad pe marane vaala
Har veer tha bhaaratvaasi
For those who martyred on ice,
Remember their great sacrifice!
Some Sikh, some Jaat and Maratha,
Some were Gurkha or Madrasi,
But each soldier who died on the border,
Was a brave Hindustani.
The dhanya javaan woh aapane
Thi dhanya woh unki javaani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani
Thi khoon se lath-path kaaya
Phir bhi bandook uthaake
Dus dus ko ek ne maara
Phir gir gaye hosh ganva ke
With blood their body was drenched,
Yet they lifted their rifle and aimed,
One killed tens of the enemy,
Then fell down unconsciously.
Jab ant samay aaya to
Jab ant samay aaya to
Keh gaye ke ab marate hain
Khush rahana desh ke pyaaron
Khush rahana desh ke pyaaron
Ab hum to safar karate hain
Ab hum to safar karate hain
When the final moment came on,
They said they will die now,
Be happy! O beloved of the nation,
We embark on eternal journey now,
Kya log the woh deewane
Kya log the woh abhimaani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
Zara yaad karo qurbaani
How great were those patriots,
How great was their pride,
Tum bhool na jaao unko
Is liye kahi ye kahaani
Jo shaheed hue hain unki
zara yaad karo qurbaani
For those who martyred on ice,
Remember their great sacrifice!
Don’t you ever forget their glory,
So I narrate this noble story,
For those who martyred on ice,
Remember their great sacrifice!

Aadami Musafir Hai (Love)
Aaadami musafir hai aata hai jaata hai
Aate jaate raste me yade chhod jaata hai
Aadami musafir hai aata hai jaata hai
Aate jaate raste me yade chhod jaata hai
Aadami musafir hai Aadami musafir hai
Man is nothing but a traveler,
In this long and hard journey of life,
he enters once and exits once
Leaving bits of memories all along his route
Jhoka hava ka pani ka rela
Jhoka hava ka pani ka rela
Mele me rah jaye jo akela
Mele me rah jaye jo akela
Yo phir akela hi rah jaata hai
Aadami musafir hai, aata hai jaata hai
Aate jaate raste me, yade chhod jaata hai
Like one caught in the gale of the wind
Like one caught in the swirling whirlpool
Like one lost in the midst of the crowd
He has lost himself, he is alone
Kab chodta hai ye rog ji ko
Kab chodta hai ye rog ji ko
Dil bhul jaata hai jab kisi ko
Dil bhul jaata hai jab kisi ko
Wo bhulkar bhi yaad aaata hai
Aadami musafir hai, Aadami musafir hai
Aata hai jaata hai, aata hai jaata hai
Aate jaate raste me yade chhod jaata hai
Aadami musafir hai, Aadami musafir hai
The heart’s troubles will seem to vanish,
When you get the courage to forget someone,
even if you have forgotten them,
your heart will still remember them
Kya sath laye kya chhod aaye
Kya sath laye kya chhod aaye
Raste me ham kya chhod aaye
Raste me ham kya chhod aaye
Mazil pe jaake yaad aata hai
Aadami musafir hai aata hai jaata hai
Aate jaate raste me yade chhod jaata hai
What have you brought along with u in your journey?
What have you broken along your journey?
Whatever you have thrown away along your journey,
you will recollect them with pain at the end of your journey.
Jab dolati hai jivan ki naiya
Jab dolati hai jivan ki naiya
Koi to ban jaata hai khivaiya
Koi kinare pe hi dub jaata hai
Aadami musafir hai aata hai jaata hai
Aate jaate raste me yade chhod jaata hai
Aadami musafir hai aata hai jaata hai
Aate jaate raste me yade chhod jaata hai
Yade chhod jaata hai, yade chhod jaata hai
Yade chhod jaata hai
When the boat that is your life is thrown off-course in the stormy waters,
someone could aid you by being your anchor
one could also drown at the shallow water near the bank too.
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet (Love)
Laut ke aa
Laut ke aa
Laut ke aa
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hain
Come!!Come, return to me my friend
My songs are calling out to you
Mera soona padha re sangeet
Mera soona padha re sangeet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hai
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
My music is barren/lonely/melody-less
My songs are calling out to you
Come, return to me my friend
Barse gagan mere barse nayan
Dekho tarse hai man ab to aaja
Sheetal pavan yeh lagaye agan
O sajan ab to mukhada dikha ja
Toone bhali re nibhai preet
Toone bhali re nibhai preet
Tujhe mere get bulate hain
Aa laut ke aaja mere met
The sky/heaven is raining and so are my eyes
Look my heart is full of compassion & longing, come now
Cool breeze in the air is making me ablaze
O beloved, now make an appearance
How well have you kept your promises of love?
My songs are calling out to you
Come, return to me my love
Ek pal hai hasna ek pal hai rona
Kaisa hai jeevan ka khela
Ek pal hai milna ek pal bichadna
Duniya hai do din ka mela
Yeh ghadi na jaye beet
Yeh ghadi na jaye beet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hain
One moment we laugh, one moment we cry
What sort of a game is this life
One moment we meet, the next moment we separate
Life, this world is a two day fair
Let this moment not pass
My songs are calling out to you
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hain
Mera soona padha re sangeet
Mera soona padha re sangeet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hain
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Come, return to me my love
My songs are calling out to you
My music is barren/lonely/melody-less
My songs are calling out to you
Come, return to me my love
Mat Kar Tu Abhimaan Re Bandhe (How to Live)
Mat kar tu abhiman re bande
Jhuthi teri shaan re
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Mat kar tu abhiman re bande
Jhuthi teri shaan re
Mat kar tu abhiman
O Man, do not be arrogant and don’t develop false pride! The glory which you associate with all your wealth is all false, it is all an illusion.
Tere jaise laakho aaye
Laakho iss mati ne khaye..
Tere jaise laakho aaye
Laakho iss mati ne khaye..
Raha naa naam nishan re bande
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Mat kar tu abhiman re bande
Jhuthi teri shaan re
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Millions of souls like you came into this world and they were all consumed by the Clay of the Earth -they all eventually died and left their false possessions and gone back to Mother Earth from where they came. Nothing about them has survived – not their name, not their ownership, not their reputation. Eventually, no one remembers them in society.
Jhoothi maaya jhoothi kaayaa
Wo teraa jo hari gun gaayaa
Jhoothi maaya jhoothi kaayaa
Wo teraa jo hari gun gaayaa
Japle hari kaa naam re bande
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Mat kar tu abhiman re bande
Jhuthi teri shaan re
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Your wealth is an illusion and is false! Even your body is false because they are temporary in the larger scheme of things. Your devotion to God, and his presence alone is what belongs to you and what lasts. So, it is important for you to remember God and give glory to Him.
Maya ka andhkar nirala
Bahar ujla bheetar kala.
Maya ka andhkar nirala
Bahar ujla bheetar kala.
Issko tu pahchan re bande
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Mat kar tu abhiman re bande
Jhuthi teri shaan re
Mat kar tu abhiman..
The deceptiveness and falseness of our physical wealth is unique in that outside it shines, whereas it is dark within. Recognize this fact about all material wealth, and act in harmony with this Truth.
Tere pass hai heere moti
Mere mann mandir mein jyoti…
Tere pass hai heere moti
Mere mann mandir mein jyoti…
Kaun hua dhanwan re bande
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Mat kar tu abhiman re bande
Jhuthi teri shaan re
Mat kar tu abhiman re bande
Jhuthi teri shaan re
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Mat kar tu abhiman..
Mat kar tu abhiman..
A true devotee of God says: O man of the world! You may have diamonds, pearls and money, and all I have is the Light of God in my heart. You tell me, of the two of us, who is of more value – you or I?
Although We Hail From Different lands (Prayer)
Although we hail from different lands,
we shone earth and sky and sun,
remember friends, the world is one.
We want all enmity to cease,
for we want peace, we all want peace,
we want no hate, we want no strife,
since we were born for love and life,
come let us chant while joining hands,
we shall not rest till wars are done,
remember friends, the world is one..
Although we hail from different lands,
we shone earth and sky and sun,
remember friends, the world is one..
we have met here to dream and build,
we want our dreams to be fulfilled,
we have come here to dream and plan,
a world of joy and hope for man,
a world is dignity demands,
a world that we shall see begun,
remember friends, the world is one..
Although we hail from different lands,
we shone earth and sky and sun,
remember friends, the world is one..
Agar Tum Na Hote (Prayer)
Na jaane jo dil se ye aavaaz aai
I don’t know this sound that has come from the heart
Milan se hai badhake tumhaarii judaaee
Your separation is obstructed by our meeting
Ye aankhon ke aansuu, na kahalaate motee
These tears from the eyes would not be called pearls
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here
Humein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
I would not have the desire to live any more
Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here – 2
Tumhein dekhke to lagta hai aise
When i saw you, it felt like
Bahaaron ka mausam aaya ho jaise
The season of flowers has come – 2
Dikhayi na deti andheron mein jyoti
In the darkness, the light would not be seen
Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here
Humein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
I would not have the desire to live any more
Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here – 2
Humein jo tumhaara sahara na milta
If i never got your support
Bhanvar mein hi rehte kinaara na milta
I would have stayed in a whirlpool, and the shore would not be found – 2
Kinaare pe bhi to lehar aa duboti
Even on the shore, the waves would have sunk me -2
Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here
Humein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
I would not have the desire to live any more
Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here – 2
Tumhein kyaa bataauun ke tum mere kyaa ho
How should i tell what you are to me?
Merii zindagii kaa tum hii aasaraa ho
You are the solace/shelter of my life-2
Main aashaa ki ladiyaan, na rah rah pirotii
I would not have strung/filed the loads of hope on every path
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here-2
Humein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
I would not have the desire to live any more
Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here – 2
Har ik gam tumhaaraa sahenge khushii se
I will bear every sorrow of yours with happiness
Karenge na shikavaa kabhii bhii kisii se
I will not complain to anyone anywhere-2
Jahaan mujh pe hansataa, khushii mujhape rotii
The world would laugh at me and happiness would cry at me-2
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here
Humein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti
I would not have the desire to live any more
Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here – 2
Na jaane jo dil se ye aavaaz aai
I don’t know this sound that has come from the heart
Milan se hai badhake tumhaarii judaaii
Your separation is obstructed by our meeting-2
Ye aankhon ke aansuu, na kahalaate motii
These tears from the eyes would not be called pearls
Agar tum na hote, agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here-2
Humein aur jeene ki chaahat na hoti

Agar tum na hote agar tum na hote
If you were not here, if you were not here – 2

Bekhudi Mein Sanam (Love)
Bekhudi
Unaware of my self, as I started walking
Aa gaye, aa gaye
I arrived
Aa gaye paas hum, aa gaye paas hum
I arrived nearer to you
Aag yeh kaisee man mein lagee hai?
What kind of fire is aflame in my mind?
Man se badhee to tan mein lagee hai
Yet, even bigger than that in the mind, is the one burning my body
Aag naheen yeh dil ki lagee hai
This is not a fire, its the heart’s desire
Jitnee bujhaayee, utnee jalee hai
However much you try to put it out, it will keep burning
Dil ki lagi na ho to, kya zindagee hai?
Without this desire of the heart, what is life?
Saath hum jo chale mit gaye faasle
When we walk together, all that separates us disappears
Aa gaye, aa gaye
I arrived
Aa gaye paas hum, aa gaye paas hum
I arrived nearer to you
Khoyee nazar thee, soye nazaare
The vision was lost, and the sights were asleep
Dekhaa tumhe to jaage yeh saare
On seeing you, all of them were awakened
Dil ne kiye jo dil ko ishaare
As one heart signaled to the other
Milke chale hum saath tumhaare
We met and walked together
Aaj khushee se meraa dil yeh pukaare
Today my heart calls out with joy
Teraa daaman milaa, pyaar meraa khilaa
In finding your embrace, my love has blossomed
Aa gaye, aa gaye
I arrived
Aa gaye paas hum, aa gaye paas hum
I arrived nearer to you
Dil kee kahaanee pahunche zubaan tak
The story of my heart is on my tongue
Kisko khabar ab pahunche kahaan tak
Now who knows where it will reach?
Pyaar ke raahee aaye yahaan tak
Travelers of love have arrived here
Jaayenge dil ki had hai jahaan tak
They will go to the limits set by their hearts
Tum paas jo to chale hum aasmaan tak
With you at my side, we will reach the sky
Dil mein armaan liye laakh toofaan liye
With a heart full of desires and beset by storms
Aa gaye, aa gaye
I arrived
Aa gaye paas hum, aa gaye paas hum
I arrived nearer to you
Bekhudi mein sanam, uth gaye jo qadam
Unaware of my self, as I started walking
Aa gaye, aa gaye
I arrived
Aa gaye paas hum, aa gaye paas hum
I arrived nearer to you
Chaudvin ka chand (Love)
The moon of the 14th
Chaudavin kaa chaand ho, yaa aafataab ho
Are you the full moon or the sun?
Jo bhi ho tum khudaa ki qasam, laa javaab ho
Whichever you are, I swear, you are matchless!
Cheharaa hai jaise jhiil me hastaa huaa kanval
Your face is like the lotus blooming in the lake!
Yaa zindagii ke saaj pe chhedii hui gazal
Or a song played on the musical instrumental of life.
Jaane bahaar tum kisii shaayar kaa Kvaab ho
O the life of spring, you are a poet’s dream!
Chaudavin kaa chaand ho, yaa aafataab ho
Are you the full moon or the sun?
Jo bhi ho tum khudaa ki qasam, laa javaab ho
Whichever you are, I swear, you are matchless!
Zulfein hain jaise kaandhe pe baadal jhuke hue
Locks of your hair fall like beautiful clouds over your shoulders.
Aankhein hain jaise may ke payaale bhare hue
Your eyes are like full cups of wine!
Mastii hai jisame pyaar kii tum, vo sharaab ho
You are the liquor which intoxicates with love.
Chaudavin kaa chaand ho, yaa aafataab ho
Are you the full moon or the sun?
Jo bhi ho tum khudaa ki qasam, laa javaab ho
Whichever you are, I swear, you are matchless!
Hothon pe khelatii hain tabassum kii bijaliyaan
Bright lightenings of your smile play on your lips!
Sazade tumhaarii raah mein karatii hain kaikashaan
The milky way, full of its stars bows before your beauty!
Duniyaa-e-husn-o-ishq kaa tum hii shabaab ho
You are the glamour of the world of beauty and love!
Chaudavin kaa chaand ho, yaa aafataab ho
Are you the full moon or the sun?
Jo bhi ho tum khudaa ki qasam, laa javaab ho
Whichever you are, I swear, you are matchless!

Chaand Phir Nikla (Reflection on Love)
Chaand phir nikla magar tum na aaye
The Moon has came out again but you still not came
Jala phir mera dil karoon kya main haay
My heart is burning. What can I do now?
Chaand phir nikla
Yeh raat kehti hai woh din gaye tere
This night is telling me that those good old days are gone.
Yeh jaana ta hai dil ke tum nahin mere
My heart is telling me that you are no longer mine.
Khadi hoon main phir bhi nigahein bichaye
Even then, I am still waiting with my eyes wide open (with the hope that someday you will still come back to meet me).
Main kya karoon haay ke tum yaad aaye
I do not know what to do since thoughts of you come to my mind.
Chaand phir nikla magar tum na aaye
jala phir mera dil karoon kya main haay
chaand phir nikla
The Moon has came out again but you still not came
My heart is burning. What can I do now?
Sulaga te seene se dhuaan sa uthtaa hain
The smoke is coming out of fire burning inside my heart.
Lo ab chale aao ke dam ghuth ta hain
I feel choked now, please come back to me.
Jala gayi tan ko baharon ke saaye
The shadow from spring has burnt my whole body.
Main kya karoon haay ke tum yaad aaye
I do not know what to do since thoughts of you come to my mind.
Chaand phir nikla magar tum na aaye
jala phir mera dil karoon kya main haay
chaand phir nikla
The Moon has came out again but you still not came
My heart is burning. What can I do now?
Chalo ek baar phir se (Reflection on Love)
Chalo ek baar phir se ajanabi ban jayen hum dono
O my love! Let us be strangers once again
Na main tum se koi ummeed rakhun dil nawazi ki
Let me not have any hopes of tenderness from you
Na tum meri taraf dekho galat andaaz nazron se
Nor should you look towards me with longing eyes
Na mere dil ki dhadkan ladkhadaaye meri baaton mein
Let not my words betray my trembling heart
Na zahir ho tumhari kashamkash ka raaz nazron se
Nor your eyes show the torment inside you
Chalo ek bar phir se ajanabi ban jayen hum dono
Come, let us be strangers once again
Tumhein bhi koi uljhan rokati hai peshkadami se
There is something that keeps you from taking the next step
Mujhe bhi log kahte hain ki ye jalwe paraaye hain
As for me, they say these delights are not mine
Mere humraah bhi ruswaaiyaan hain mere maazi ki
My past infamy has become my companion
Tumhare saath bhi guzari huyee raaton ke saaye hain
You too are burdened by the shadows of the nights gone by
Chalo ek baar phir se ajanabi ban jayen hum dono
Come, let us be strangers once again
Tarruf rog ho jaye to usko bhool na behtar
When familiarity becomes an affliction it is better to forget it
Talluq bojh ban jaye to usko todana achha
When relationship becomes a burden it is better to break it
Wo afsana jise anjaam tak lana na ho mumkin
The story which can not be brought to a happy ending
Use ik khoobsoorat mod de kar chhodna achha
It is better to give it a beautiful turn and leave it
Chalo ek baar phir se ajanabi ban jayen hum dono
Come, let us be strangers once again
Chehra Hai ya Chand Khila Hai (Love)
Ho, chehra hai ya chand khila hai
Zulf ghaneri shaam hai kya
Saagar jaisi aankhon vaali
Ye to bataa tera naam hai kyaa
O, is this a face or the moon become more brilliant?
Are these tresses a heavy dusk?
Oh ocean-eyed girl
At least tell me your name
Tu kya jaane teri khaatir
Kitna hai betaab ye dil
Tu kya jaane dekh raha hai
Kaise kaise khwaab ye dil
Dil kehta hai tu hai yahaan To
Jaata lamha tham jaaye
Waqt ka dariya behte behte
Is manzar mein jam jaaye
Toone deewana dil ko banaaya
Is dil par ilzaam hai kya
Saagar jaisi aankhon vaali
Ye to bataa tera naam hai kya…
What would you know
Of how anxious this heart is for you?
What would you know
Of what kind of dreams this heart dreams?
If you are here, then my heart hopes
thats this fleeting moment still
that the river of time, ever flowing
Freeze at this sight
You have made this heart insane
Can it be blamed?
Oh ocean-eyed girl
At least tell me your name
Ho, aaj maein tujhse door sahi
Aur tu mujhse anjaan sahi
Tera saath nahin paaun to
Khair tera armaan sahi
Ye armaan hain shor nahin ho
Khamoshi ke mele hon
Is duniya mein koi nahin ho
Hum dono hi akele hon
Tere sapne dekh raha hoon
Aur mera ab kaam hai kya
Saagar jaisi aankhon vaali
Ye to bataa tera naam hai kya…
O, so what if today I am far from you?
So what if I am unknown to you?
If I cannot have you, so what if you remain a mere desire?
These are desires
May there be no clamour
May there be gatherings of silence
May there be no one in this world
May we be alone
I am dreaming of you
What else do I have to do anymore?
Oh ocean-eyed girl
At least tell me your name

Dil apanaa aaur pareet paraayee (Love)
Dil apanaa aaur preet paraayee
Why is it that the one you love is not yours
Kis ne hain ye, reet banaaee
Who made this strange ritual?
Aandhee mein yek deep jalaayaa

Dil apanaa….
Hai dard ayesaa ke sahanaa hain mushkil
Pain in such that it is unbearable
Duniyaawaalon se kahanaa hain mushkil
And it is impossible to tell others about it as well
Gheer ke aayaa hain tufaan ayesaa-2
So powerful is storm which engulfs me
Bach ke saahil pe rahanaa hain mushkil-2
That it’s difficult to stay safe ashore
Dil apanaa aaur preet paraayee

Who made this strange ritual?
Aandhee mein yek deep jalaayaa
Who lighted lamp in windstorm?
Aaur paanee mein, aag lagaaee
And made fire in water?
Dil apanaa….
Dil ko sanbhaalaa naa daaman bachaayaa
I couldn’t handle my heart nor save my honour
Failee jab aag tab hosh aayaa
When fire had swept then only I realized
Gam ke maare pukaare kise hum-2
Whom do I call out to in times like these
Hum se bichhadaa humaaraa hee saayaa-2
Even my shadow has left my company
Dil apanaa aaur preet paraayee
One’s heart and [controlled by] another’s love
Kis ne hain ye, reet banaaee
Who made this strange ritual?
Aandhee mein yek deep jalaayaa
Who lighted lamp in windstorm?
Aaur paanee mein, aag lagaaee
And made fire in water?
Dil apanaa….

Insaaf kar do, mujhe maaf kar do
Judge me, forgive me
Itna hi kar do karam
Do just that much of a favor for me
Dil de diya hai, jaan tumhe denge
I have given you my heart, I will give you my life
Daga nahin karenge sanam
I will not betray you, darling
Aawaargi mein ban gaya deewaana
Maine kyoon saadgi ko nahin jaana – 2
In waywardness I became mad
Why didn’t I understand simplicity?
(Appreciate our relationship – “simple life”)
Chaahat yahi hai ke is kadar pyaar doon
My desire is this, that I give you such love
Kadmon mein tere main do jahaan waar doon
That I surrender both worlds upon your footsteps
Chain mera le lo, khushi meri le lo
Take away my peace, take my happiness
De do mujhe de do saare gham
Give to me all your pain
Dil de diya hai, jaan tumhe denge
I have given you my heart, I will give you my life
Daga nahin karenge sanam
I will not betray you, darling
Mere ashq keh rahe meri kahaani
Inhe samjho na tum sirf paani – 2
My tears are telling my story
Don’t think them to be only water
Ro roke aansuon ke daag dhool jaayenge
Crying, the mark of my tears will wash away
In mein vafa ke rang aaj ghul jaayenge
In them, the color of fidelity will be absorbed today
Paas tum rahogi, bhool ab na hogi
If you stay close, no mistakes will happen now
Karoonga na tum pe sitam
I will not do you any injustice
Dil de diya hai, jaan tumhe denge
I have given you my heart, I will give you my life
Daga nahin karenge sanam
I will not betray you, darling
Ho, rab di kasam yaara rab di kasam
With God’s vow, dear, with God’s vow
Dil de diya hai, jaan tumhe denge
Daga nahin karenge sanam – 2
I have given you my heart, I will give you my life
I will not betray you, darling
Ek Pyaar Ka Nagma Hai (Love)
Mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm, mm mm mm mm
Ek pyar ka nagma hai, maujon ki ravaani hai – 2
Its a song of love, its a flow of ecstasy
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Life is nothing else
Teri meri kahaani hai

Ek pyar ka nagma hai, maujon ki ravaani hai
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Teri meri kahaani hai
Ek pyar ka nagma hai
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
Kuch paakar khona hai, kuch khokar paana hai
In gaining you must lose something, in losing you must gain something
Jeevan ka matlab to aana aur jaana hai
The meaning of life is coming and going
Do pal ke jeevan se ek umr churaani hai
From a life of a couple moments U have to steal a full lifetime
MALE
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Teri meri kahaani hai
BOTH
Ek pyar ka nagma hai

Tu dhaar hai nadiya ki, main tera kinaara hoon
You are the current of the river, Im your shore
–FEMALE–
Tu mera sahaara hai, main tera sahaara hoon
You are my support, Im your support
Aankhon mein samandar hai, aashaaon ka paani hai
In my eyes there’ss an ocean of desire
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Teri meri kahaani hai
BOTH
Ek pyar ka nagma hai
MALE
Toofaan to aana hai, aakar chale jaana hai
The storm is coming, and then it will go away
Baadal hai yeh kuch pal ka, chhaakar dhal jaana hai
This is the cloud of few moments, after spreading it will pass
Parchhaa niyan reh jaati, reh jaati nishaani hai
Shadows (memories) remain, marks remain
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Teri meri kahaani hai
Ek pyar ka nagma hai, maujon ki ravaani hai
Zindagi aur kuch bhi nahin
Teri meri kahaani hai
Ek pyar ka nagma hai
Ek Tera Saath (Worship-Love)
Ek tera saath, ek tera saath humko do jahan se pyara hai
Ek tera saath, ek tera saath humko do jahan se pyara hai
To share my life with you is worth more than this entire world.
Too hain to har sahara hai
With you by my side, I have all that I need.
Na mile sansar, na mile sansar, tera pyar to humara hai
When I have your love, I do not wish for worldly gains
Na mile sansar, tera pyar to humara hain
Too hain to har sahara hain
With you by my side, I have all that I need.
Hum akele hain, shehnaiya choop hain,
To kangana bolata hain
We are alone, the music plays not but the music of your bangle enchants me.
Too jo chalatee hain, chhote se aangan mein, chaman sa dolata hain
When you walk, it is as though flowers of a garden sway before me.
Aaj ghar hum ne, aaj ghar hum ne, milan ke rang se sanwara hain
Today, we have adorned our home through the union of our love.
Too hain to har sahara hain
With you by my side, I have all that I need.
Dekh aanchal mein kayee chandani rut pe, najare bhar gaye hain
I am covered in the many elements of this moonlit night
Nain se tere is maang mein jaise, sitare bhar gaye hain
I am like a bride who is embellished by the stars twinkling in your sight.
Pyar ne is raat, pyar ne is raat ko aakash se utara hain
Love has beckoned this night to descend from the heavens
Too hain to har sahara hai.
With you by my side, I have all that I need.
Tere pyaar ki daulat mili hum ko to jeena raas aya
When I acquired the wealth of your live, only then did life value me
Tu nahi aayi ye aasma chal kar zameen ke paas aya
With your coming, it seems that heaven has come to earth.
Hum ko ulfat ne, hum ko ulfat ne teri awaaz se pukara hai
Love has beckoned me through your voice, by beloved
Too hain to har sahara hai.
With you by my side, I have all that I need.
Ek tera saath, ek tera saath Humko do jahan se pyara hain
To share my life with you is worth more than this entire world.
Jab Jab Bahar Aaye (Love)
Jab jab bahar aaye aur phool muskaraye,
Whenever the spring comes and flowers blossoms
Mujhe tum yaad aaye
I always think of you
Jab jab bhi chand nikla aur tare jagmagaaye,
Whenever the moon comes out and the stars sparkle
Mujhe tum yaad aaye.
I think of you
Apna koi tarana maine nahin banaaya
I never made any songs of mine
Tumne mere labon pe har ek sur sajayaa
You have set all the tunes on my lips
Jab jab mere taraane duniyane gungunaaye
Whenever the world hears my songs
Mujhe tum yaad aaye.
I think of you
Ek pyar aur wafa ki tasveer maanta hoon
I think of you as true love and honesty of my mirrors
Tasveer kya tumhe main taqdeer manta hoon
Not mirrors I think you are my destiny
Dekhi nazar ne khushiyaan, ya dekhe gum ke saaye
Have seen the happiness, also have seen the sad days
Mujhe tum yaad aaye
I think of you
Mumkin hai zindagaani kar jaaye bewafaai
It’s possible that life might deceive me
Lekin yeh pyar woh hai jismein nahin judaai
But my love for you is that that knows no separation
Is pyar ke fasaane, jab jab zuban pe aaye
Whenever people talk about our love
Mujhe tum yaad aaye.
I always think of you
Humei Tum Se Pyaar (Love)
Humei tum se pyaar kitanaa, ye hum naheen jaanate
How much do I love you, this I don’t know
Magar jee naheen sakate, tumhaare beenaa
But I can not live without you
Sunaa gam judaee kaa, uthhaate hain log
I have heard that people carry the burden of sorrows of separation
Jaane jindagee kaise, bitaate hain log
Don’t know how can they survive this
Din bhee yahaa to lage, baras ke samaan
Even one day here seems like a year
Humei intazaar kitanaa, ye hum naheen jaanate
How long do I have to wait, I don’t know
Magar jee naheen sakate, tumhaare beenaa
But I can not live without you
Humei tum se pyaar
Tumhe koee aaur dekhe, to jalataa hain dil
If someone else looks at you , then my heart hurts
Badee mushkilon se fir, sanbhalataa hain dil
with very great difficulty, my heart comes in control
Kyaa, kyaa jatan karate hai, tumhe kyaa pataa
What consequenses do I go through, you don’t even know
Ye dil bekaraar kitanaa, ye hum naheen jaanate
How restless is my heart, I don’t know
Magar jee naheen sakate, tumhaare beenaa
But I can not live without you
Humei tum se pyaar kitanaa, ye hum naheen jaanate
How much do I love you, this I don’t know
Magar jee naheen sakate, tumhaare beenaa
But I can not live without you
Humei tum se pyaar
Janam janam ka saath hai nibhaane ko (Love)
Janam janam ka saath hai nibhaane ko
There are so many lifetimes for us together
Sau sau baar maine janam liye
I’ve already lived a hundred with you
Pyaar amar hai duniya mein, pyaar kabhi nahin marta hai (2)
Love is eternal in this world, it never dies
Maut badan ko aati hai, ruh ka jalva rehta hai
The body may die but the soul lives on
Janam janam ka saath hai nibhaane ko
There are so many lifetimes for us together
Sau sau baar maine janam liye
I’ve already lived a hundred with you
Oh shehzaadi sapnon ki, itni tu hairaan na ho (2)
Oh dream girl of mine, don’t be so perturbed
Main bhi tera sapna hoon, jaan mujhe anjaan na ho
I’m your dream too, know me, don’t be so unaware
Janam janam ka saath hai nibhaane ko
There are so many lifetimes for us together
Sau sau baar maine janam liye
I’ve already lived a hundred with you
Tu manzil main raahi hoon, ek din tujhko paaunga (2)
I’m the traveler and you’re my destination, I will make you mine someday
Kaun mujhe ab rokega, har dum yoon hi aaunga
Who can stop me now? I’ll appear like this each time
Janam janam ka saath hai nibhaane ko
There are so many lifetimes for us together
Sau sau baar maine janam liye
I’ve already lived a hundred with you
Janam janam ka saath hai nibhaane ko
There are so many lifetimes for us together
Sau sau baar maine janam liye
I’ve already lived a hundred with you
Jhilmil Sitaron Ka (Love)
Jhilmil sitaron ka aangan hoga
There will be shining stars over a courtyard
Rimjhim baras ta sawan hoga
There will be the season of rain
Aisa sunder sapna apna jeevan hoga
Our life will be like a beautiful dream
Prem ki gali mein ek chota sa ghar banayenge
We will make a small house in the street of love
Kaliyan na mile na sahi kaaton se sajayenge
If we don’t obtain rose buds, doesn’t matter, we will adorn with thorns
Bagiya se sunder woh ban hoga
That garden will be more beautiful than a rose garden
Rimjhim baras ta sawan hoga
There will be the season of rain
Teri aankhon se saara sansar mein dekhoon gi
I will see the whole world from your eyes
Dekhoongi is paar ya us paar mein dekhoon gi
I will see from this side and that side
Nainon ko tera hi darshan hoga
The eyes will pray to you
Rimjhim barasta sawan hoga
There will be the season of rain
Phir to mast hawaon ke hum jhonke ban jayenge
Then we will become the intoxicated gust of wind
Naina sunder sapnon ke jharonkhe ban jayenge
We will become the eyes of a beautiful dream
Man aashaon ka darpan hoga
The heart will become the mirror of desires
Rimjhim barasta sawan hoga
There will be the season of rain
Aisa sunder sapna apna jeevan hoga
Our life will be like a beautiful dream
Jhilmil sitaron ka aangan hoga
There will be shining stars over a courtyard
Rimjhim baras ta sawan hoga
There will be the season of rain

Jis Gali Mein Tera (Love)
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma
Us gali se hame to guzarna nahin
Jo dagar tere dwaare pe jaati na ho
Us dagar pe hame paaon rakhna nahin
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma…
Any street on which your house does not stand, my beloved
Is not a street that I want to pass through.
Any path that doesn’t lead to your door,
Is not a path that I will set foot on.
Any street that your house is not on…
Zindagi mein kaee rang galiyan sahi
Har taraf muskurati ye kaliyan sahi
Khoobsurat bahaaron ki galiyan sahi
Jis chaman mein tere pag mein kaante chubhe…
Jis chaman mein tere pag mein kaante chubhe
Us chaman se hame phool chunana nahin
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma…
In life, I have had many colorful celebrations
Everywhere I look, I see smiling flower buds
And many beautiful views of springtime.
But that garden in which a thorn pricks your feet…
Any garden in which a thorn pricks your feet,
Is not a garden that I will pick any flower from.
That street that your house is not on…
Haah ye rasame, ye kasame sabhi tod ke
Tu chali aa chunar pyar ki odh ke
Ya chala jaaonga, main ye jag chhod ke
Jis jagah yaad teri sataane lage…
Jis jagah yaad teri sataane lage,
Us jagah ye ek pal bhi theharana nahin
Yes, these traditions, these promises… break them all
And run to me, flying the shawl of love in the air
Or else I will leave this world behind
And that place where your memories torment me…
That place where your memories torment me,
I will not linger there for one second.
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma
Us gali se hame to guzarna nahin
Jo dagar tere dwaare pe jaati na ho
Us dagar pe hame paaon rakhna nahin
Jis gali mein tera ghar na ho baalma…
Any street on which your house does not stand, my beloved
Is not a street that I want to pass through.
Any path that doesn’t lead to your door,
Is not a path that I will set foot on.
Any street that your house is not on…
Jo Vaada Kiya Woh (Love)
Jo Vaada Kiya Woh Nibhaana Padega
You have to keep the promise that you have made
Roke Zamaana Chaahe Roke Khudaai
Even if the world or the Lord stops you
Tumko Aana Padega
You have to come
Jo Vaada Kiya Woh Nibhaana Padega
You have to keep the promise that you have made
Tarasti Nigaahon Ne Aawaz Di Hai
The longing/ fearful eyes have called out to you
Mohabbat Ki Rahon Ne Awaaz Di Hai
the desperate sighs of love are calling out to you
Jaane Hayaa Jaane Ada Chodo Tarsaana
Life of modesty and life of grace, please don’t put me to fear
Tumko Aana Padega
You have to come
Jo Vaada Kiya Woh Nibhaana Padega
You have to keep the promise that you have made
Ye Maana Hamein Jaan Se Jaana Padega
I agree that I have to go from the world
Par Ye Samajh Lo Tumne Jab Bhi Pukaara
But understand this that whenever you give a call
Humko Aana Padega…
I will have to come
Jo Vaada Kiya Woh Nibhaana Padega
You have to keep the promise that you have made
Hum Apni Wafaa Pe Na Ilzaam Lenge
We will not take blame to our loyalty/love
Tumhe Dil Diya Hai Tumhe Jaa Bhi Denge
I have given you my heart, will also give you my soul
Jab Ishq Ka Sauda Kiya, Phir Kya Ghabraana
Now that I have traded my love for yours, why be afraid
Humko Aana Padega
I have to come
Jo Vaada Kiya Woh Nibhaana Padega
You have to keep the promise that you have made
Chamakte Hain Jab Tak Yeh Chaand Aur Taare
Until the time the stars and the moon shine
Na Tootenge Ab Keh Do Paimaan Hamaare
Our promise will never break, say it
Ek Doosraa Jab De Sadaa Hoke Dewaana
When the other gives out/ goes around like crazy
Humko Aana Padega
We have to come
Jo Vaada Kiya Woh Nibhaana Padega
You have to keep the promise that you have made
Kabhi Kabhi Mere Dil Mein (Love)
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Sometimes, sometimes in my heart I get these thoughts
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Sometimes, sometimes in my heart I get these thoughts
Ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye
That you’ve been made only for me
Ki jaise tujhko banaya gaya hai mere liye
That you’ve been made only for me
Tu abse pehle sitaaron mein bas rahi thi kahin
Before this you were among the stars somewhere
Tu abse pehle sitaaron mein bas rahi thi kahin
Before this you were among the stars somewhere
Tujhe zameen pe bulaya gaya hai mere liye
You’ve been called down to earth only for me
Tujhe zameen pe bulaya gaya hai mere liye
You’ve been called down to earth only for me
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Sometimes, sometimes in my heart I get these thoughts
Ki ye badan ye nigaahein meri amaanat hain
That these arms, these shoulders are my treasures
Ki ye badan ye nigaahein meri amaanat hain
That these arms, these shoulders are my treasures
Ye gesuon ki ghani chhaon hain meri khatir
This shadow of your thick beautiful hair is only for me
Ye honth aur ye baahein meri amaanat hain
These lips and your arms are my treasures
Ye honth aur ye baahein meri amaanat hain
These lips and your arms are my treasures
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Sometimes, sometimes in my heart I get these thoughts
Ki jaise bajti hain shehnaaiyaan si raahon mein
That on the roads the music of the shahanayi is played
Ki jaise bajti hain shehnaaiyaan si raahon mein
That on the roads the music of the shahanayi is played
Suhaag raat hain ghoonghat utha raha hoon main
It’s our first nite and I’m lifting the veil off your face
Suhaag raat hain ghoonghat utha raha hoon main
It’s our first nite and I’m lifting the veil off your face
Simat rahi hai tu sharma ke apni baahon mein
You’re shrinking with shyness in my arms
Simat rahi hai tu sharma ke apni baahon mein
You’re shrinking with shyness in my arms
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Sometimes, sometimes in my heart I get these thoughts
Ki jaise tu mujhe chaahegi umr bhar yoohin
Like you’re goin to love me just like this all your life
Uthegi meri taraf pyaar ki nazar yoohin
That your eyes shall lift up and have the same look all your life
Main jaanta hoon ki tu geir hai magar yoohin
I know you’re a stranger but the same way
Main jaanta hoon ki tu geir hai magar yoohin
I know you’re a stranger but the same way
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Sometimes, sometimes in my heart I get these thoughts
Kabhi kabhi mere dil mein khayaal aata hai
Sometimes, sometimes in my heart I get these thoughts
Kaun aaya (Love)
Kaun aayaa
Kaun aayaa, kaun aayaa
Kaun aayaa mere man ke dvaare
Paayal ki jhanakaar liye
Kaun aayaa mere man ke dvaare
Paayal ki jhanakaar liye
Kaun aayaa
Who has come? Who has come?
Who has come knocking on the door of my heart?
Whose anklets are making this melodious sound?
Who is there?
Aankh na jaane, dil pahechaane
Aankh na jaane, dil pahechaane
Suratiyaa kuch aisi
Aankh na jaane, dil pahechaane
Suratiyaa kuch aisi
Yaad karun to, yaad na aaye mooratiyaa ye kaisi
Paagal manavaa, soch men doobaa
Sapanon kaa sansaar liye
I don’t recognize her, but my heart recognizes its soulmate
That is what this person is like
I try to remember the face, but can’t visualize the physical features
My crazy heart is still pondering on this miraculous happenings
Lost in the world of dreams
Kaun aayaa mere man ke dvaare
Paayal ki jhanakaar liye
Kaun aayaa
Whose anklets are making this melodious sound?
Who is there?
Ik pal sochoon, meri aashaa rup badal kar aai
ik pal sochoon, meri aashaa rup badal kar aai
Duje pal phir, dhyaan ye aae ho na kahin parachai
Jo paradesi ke ghar aai, ek anokhaa pyaar liye
Kaun aayaa mere man ke dvaare
Paayal ki jhanakaar liye
Kaun aayaa
For a moment I wonder if this is my “hope” personified.
In next moment I think that I am mistaken, perhaps it is just wishful thinking
This person who came into a stranger’s house and filled my heart with love and tenderness
Who has come knocking on the door of my heart?
Whose anklets are making this melodious sound?
Who is there?
Karvatein Badalte Rahein (Love)
Karvatein badalte rahein saaree raat ham
Tossing and turning in bed, I have been restless the entire night.
Aap kee qasam, aap kee qasam
I swear by you.
Gham na karo, din judaayee ke bahut hain kam
Do not be sad; the days of our separation are very limited.
Aap kee qasam, aap kee qasam
I swear by you.
Yaad tum aate rahe ek hook see uthtee rahee
As I remembered you, a sharp pain kept arising in my heart.
Neend mujhse, neend se main, bhaagtee chhuptee rahee
Sleep and I kept fleeing and hiding from each other.
Raat bhar bairan nigodee chaandnee chubhtee rahee
The hostile, wretched moonlight continued to pierce through the entire night.
Aag sii jaltee rahee, girtee rahee shabnam
A fire kept burning, as the dew continued to fall.
Aap kee qasam, aap kee qasam
I swear by you.
Jheel see aankhon mein aashiq duub ke kho jaayegaa
Your beloved will get lost by drowning in the loch of your eyes.
Zulf ke saaye mein dil armaan bharaa so jayegaa
Under the shadows of your tresses, his hope-filled heart will fall into slumber.
Tum chale jaao, naheen to kuchh na kuchh ho jaayegaa
Please go away, or else something will happen between us.
Dagmagaa jaayenge aise haal mein qadam
Our steps will falter out of control under these circumstances.
Aap kee qasam, aap kee qasam
I swear by you.
Ruuth jaayein ham to tum ham ko manaa lenaa sanam
Should I sulk, please console me, oh beloved.
Duur hon to paas ham ko tum bulaa lenaa sanam
Should you be far away, please call me to your side, oh beloved.
Kuchh gelaa ho to gale ham ko lagaa lenaa sanam
Should I make a mistake, please embrace me in forgiveness, oh beloved.
Toot na jaaye kabhee yah pyaar kee qasam
May this vow of love never be broken by us.
Aap kee qasam, aap kee qasam
I swear by you.
Kahin Door Jab Din (Love)
Kahin Door jab din dhal jaye
Sanjh ki dulhan badan churaye
Chupke se aaye
Mere khayalon ke aangan mein
Koi sapnon ke deep jalaye
Into the horizon, as the day retires,
The Evening bride, steps gingerly inside,
Tiptoeing into the verandah,
Of my lonely thoughts,
Quietly igniting dreams alight.
Kabhi yun hi jab hui bojhal sansen
Bhar aai baithe baithe jab yun hi aankhen
Kabhi machal ke pyar se chal ke
Chhuye koi mujhe par nazar na aaye
Nazar na aaye
Kahin door…
Without reason the breath grows heavier,
Then teardrops welled, for no reason or rhyme,
Featherweight pranced, someone into my mind,
Fleetingly touched, left no footprint behind.
Kahin to yeh dil kabhi mil nahin paate
Kahin se nikal aaye janmon ke naate
Thami thi uljhan bairi apna man
Apna hi hoke Sahe dard paraye
Dard paraye
Kahin door…
Once every while, when hearts didn’t unite,
Reincarnated relationships, appeared generations later,
Problems stood still, but the fickle mind,
Picked up grievings, of a life left beind.
Dil jane mere saare bedh yeh gehre
Hogaye kaise mere sapne sunehre
Yeh mere sapne yehi to hai apne
Mujhse juda na hoge inke yeh saaye
Inke yeh saaye
Kahin door…
This heart it holds, secrets rather deep,
In the know of hues golden, that dreams turned
After all these are what, I can call my own,
Their shadows shall linger, long after.
Khuda Bhi Aasmaan Se (Love)
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hoga
When God too from the heavens must be peeking at the earth
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen 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 aasmaan se jab zameen par dekhta hoga
When God too from the heavens must be peeking at the earth
Khuda bhi aasmaan se
When God too from the heavens ….
Musavvir khud pareshaan hai ke yeh tasveer kiski hai
The painter himself is perplexed, whose picture is this?
Banogi jiss ki tum aisi haseen 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 aasmaan se jab zameen 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 aasmaan se
When God too from the heavens ….
Zamaane-bhar ki masti ko nigaahon mein sameta hai
Exhiliration of an entire era has gathered in the eyes.
Kali se jism ko kitni bahaaron 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 aasmaan se jab zameen 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 aasmaan se
When God too from the heavens ….
Farishtey bhi yahaan raaton ko aa kar ghoomte honge
The angels too must be roaming around here at nights.
Jahaan 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 suffered, only he must be knowing.
Khuda bhi aasmaan se jab zameen 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 aasmaan se
When God too from the heavens ….
Kasme Waade Pyaar Wafa (Distrust)
Kasme waade pyaar wafa sab baate hain baato kaa kya
Koyee kisee kaa nahee yeh jhuthe naate hain naato kaa kya
kasme waade pyaar wafa sab baate hain baato kaa kya
Hoga masiha -2 saamane tere, phir bhee naa tu bach paayega
Teraa apana -2 khoon hee aakhir tujhako aag lagayega
Aasmaan me -2 udane waale mitti me mil jaayega
Kasme waade pyaar wafa sab baate hain bato kaa kya
The swearings, promises, love, fidelity
These are all just talk.
What is the use of just talk?
Nobody belongs to nobody here,
These are all fake relationships.
What is the use of such relationships?
Sukh me tere -2 saath chalenge, dukh me sab mukh modenge
Duniya waale -2 tere bankar teraa hee dil todenge
Dete hain -2 bhagwan ko dhokha, insaan ko kya chhodenge
Kasme waade pyaar wafa sab, baate hain baato kaa kya
They will walk with you in happiness.
When you are sad, they will all turn away from you.
The people of the world will pretend to be yours
But will break your heart.
These people even deceive God.
How do you expect them to leave man alone.
Kyaa Miliye …. (Trust)
Kyaa miliye.
What to meet ….
Kyaa miliye aise logon se,
What to meet such guys
Jin ki fitrat chhupee rahe.
Whose nature remains hidden
Naqlee chehraa saamne aaye.
The false face is put on view
Aslee soorat chhupee rahe.
And the real face remains hidden
Khud se bhee jo khud ko chhupaayen,
Those who even conceal their real self from themselves
Kyaa un se pehchaan karen,
What to make of their acquaintance
Kyaa un ke daaman se lipten,
What to cling to their protection
Kyaa un kaa armaan karen,
What to desire of them
Jin kee aadhee neeyat ubhre.
Whose half the intention is disclosed
Aadhee neeyat chhupee rahe.
Half their intention remains hidden
Naqlee chehraa saamne aaye.
The false face is put into view
Aslee soorat chhupee rahe.
The real face remains hidden
Dil-daaree kaa dhong rachaakar
Pretending to be generous hearted
Jaal bichhaayen baaton kaa,
They ensnare with words
Jeete jee ka rishtaa keh kar,
After assuring about the relationship for a lifetime
Sukh dhoondhe kuchh raaton kaa,
They seek the pleasure for some nights
Rooh kee hasrat labb par aaye,
The desire of the soul comes to the lips
Jisam kee hasrat chhupee rahe,
The desire of the body remains hidden
Naqlee chehraa saamne aaye,
The false face is put into view
Aslee soorat chhupee rahe,
The real face remains hidden
Jin ke zulm se dukhee hai jantaa,
By whose oppression the public is miserable
Har bastee har gaao mein,
In every dwelling, in every village
Dayaa dharam kee baat karen voh,
They speak of compassion and piety
Baith ke sajee sabhaaon mein,
By presiding over elegant meetings
Daan kaa charchaa ghar ghar pahonche,
News about donations reach every home
Loot kee daulat chhupee rahe,
The looted wealth remains hidden
Naqlee chehraa saamne aaye,
The false face is put into view
Aslee soorat chhupee rahe,
The real face remains hidden
Dekhen in naqlee chehron kee,
Let’s see, these false faces
Kab tak jai jaikaar chale,
Are cheered for how long
Ujle kapdon kee teh mein,
Under the folds of white clothes
Kab tak kaalaa sansaar chale,
For how long the shady world lasts
Kab tak logon kee nazron se,
For how long from the people’s sight
Chupee haqeeqat chhupee rahe,
The hidden fact remains hidden
Naqlee chehraa saamne aaye,
The false face is put on view
Aslee soorat chhupee rahe,
The real face remains hidden
Kyaa miliye aise logon se,
What to meet such guys
Jin ki fitrat chhupee rahe,
whose nature remains hidden
Naqlee chehraa saamne aaye,
The false face is put on view
Aslee soorat chhupee rahe,
The real face remains hidden
Mera Dil Bhi Kitna (Love)
Mera dil bhi kitna paagal hai
ye pyaar to tum se karta hai
par saamne jab tum aate ho
kuchh bhi kehne se darta hai
mere saajan, mere saajan
saajan saajan, mere saajan
How mad my heart is,
it loved you, still
when you come before me,
it’s afraid of saying anything..
O my beloved, O my beloved..
Kitna is ko samjhaata hoon,
kitna is ko behlaata hoon,
naadaan hai kuchh na samajhta hai
din raat ye aahein bharta hai
How so much I explain to it,
How so much I pacify it, [or try to divert it]
It’s naive, doesn’t understand a thing,
All days and nights it sighs.
Har pal mujh ko tadpaata hai
mujhe saari raat jagaata hai
is baat ki tum ko khabar nahi
ye sirf tum hi pe marta hai
It agonizes me every moment,
It keeps me awake all nights,
You don’t have an idea of this,
that it loves you and you alone..
Mera dil bhi kitna paagal hai
ye pyaar to tum se karta hai
par saamne jab tum aate ho
kuchh bhi kehne se darta hai
O mere saajan,O mere saajan
saajan saajan, mere saajan
Madhuban Khushboo Detaa Hai (Love)
Madhuban khushboo detaa hai
A garden gives fragrance.
Saagar saawan detaa hai
An ocean gives rainfall.
Jeenaa uskaa jeenaa hai,
Life has a meaning for
Jo auron ko jeewan detaa hai
He who gives and infuses life to others
Madhuban khushboo detaa hai
The forest of honey gives us fragrance
(We should help others selflessly, just like the oceans give us rain and air helps us breathe. Likewise, only that life is worthy which infuses life into others, without asking for anything in return.)
Sooraj na ban paaye to,
If you cannot become the sun
Ban kay deepak jaltaa chal
Be a lamp and keep burning
Sooraj na ban paaye to,
If you cannot become the sun
Ban kay deepak jaltaa chal
Become a lamp and keep burning
Phool milen yaa angaare,
Whether you get flowers or flames
Sach ki raahon pe chaltaa chal
Keep walking on the path of truth
Sach ki raahon pe chaltaa chal
Keep walking on the path of truth
Pyaar dilon ko detaa hai,
He gives love to others
Ashkon daaman detaa hai
Love expands our hearts, it offers comfort to tears.
Jeenaa uskaa jeenaa hai,
Life has a meaning for
Jo auron ko jeewan detaa hai
He who gives life to others
Madhuban khushboo detaa hai,
The forest of honey gives us fragrance
Saagar saawan detaa hai
The ocean gives us rain
Madhuban khushboo detaa hai
The forest of honey gives us fragrance
(If we cannot shine as brightly as the sun, we should shine gently like a lamp. In other words, we should not wait to do something big for others; even small acts of kindness are helpful.)
Chalti hai lahraa ke pawan,
The wind blows with some gusto
Ke saans sabhi ki chalti rahe
So that all of us may breathe
Chalti hai lahraa ke pawan,
The wind blows with some gusto
Ke saans sabhi ki chalti rahe
So that all of us may breathe
Logon ne tyaag diye jeewan,
Many have sacrificed their lives
Ke preet dilon mein palti rahe
So that love may continue in our hearts
Ke preet dilon mein palti rahe
So that love may continue in our hearts
Dil wo dil hai jo auron ko,
Only that heart is worthy
Apni dhadkan detaa hai gives
which shares its heartbeat with others.
Jeenaa uskaa jeenaa hai,
Life has a meaning for
Jo auron ko jeewan detaa hai
He who gives life to others
(The last verse has two inspiring examples of selfless service. First consider the wind, the sun, the air, the earth — these are bounties of nature that seek nothing in return. Then there are martyrs who sacrificed their lives to uphold principles of peace. They died so that love may continue to thrive among those who live. With our hearts full of thankfulness for both nature and fellow humans who have done so much for us, we must serve others.)
Madhuban khushboo detaa hai,
The forest of honey gives us fragrance
Saagar saawan detaa hai
The ocean gives us rain
Madhuban khushboo detaa hai
The forest of honey gives us fragrance
Meri Bheegi Bheegi Si (Heartbreak)
Meri bheegi bheegi si, palkon pe reh gayee
On my wet eyelashes were left.
Jaise mere sapne bikhar ke
Like my shattered dreams.
Jale man tera bhi, kisi ke Milan ko
May your mind also burn!
Anamika, tu bhi tarse
Anamika, may you thirst for the companionship of someone.
Meri bheegi bheegi si, palkon pe reh gayee
On my wet eyelashes were left.
Jaise mere sapne bikhar ke
Like my shattered dreams.
Jale man tera bhi, kisi ke milan ko
May your mind also burn!
Anamika, tu bhi tarse
Anamika, may you thirst for the companionship of someone.
Meri bheegi bheegi si…
Tujhe bin jaane, bin pehchaane
Without knowing you, recognizing you
Maine hriday se lagaya
I brought you close to my heart.
Tujhe bin jaane, bin pehchaane
Without knowing you, recognizing you
Maine hriday se lagaya
I brought you close to my heart.
Par mere pyar ke badle men toone
But in return of my love you
Mujhko ye din dikhalaya
Showed me these days
Jaise biraha ki ritoo maine kati
Like I suffered the period of separation
Tadapake aanhen bhar bhar ke
Tormented, sighing
Jale man tera bhi, kisi ke milan ko
May your mind also burn!
Anamika, tu bhi tarse
Anamika, may you thirst for the companionship of someone.
Meri bheegi bheegi si…
Aag se nata, naari se rishta
A relationship with a woman is like a bond with fire.
Kahe man samajh na paya
Why did my mind not understand this?
Mujhe kya Hua Tha, Ik bevafa Say
What had happened to me? With an unfaithful
Haay mujhe kyon pyaar aaya
Why did I fall in love?
Teri bewafai pe, hanse jag sara
The world will laugh at your infidelity
Gali gali guzare jidhar Se
In every lane that you go by
Jale man tera bhi, kisi ke milan ko
May your mind also burn!
Anamika, tu bhi tarse
Anamika, may you thirst for the companionship of someone.
Meri bheegi bheegi si…
Meri bheegi bheegi si, palkon pe reh gayee
On my wet eyelashes were left.
Jaise mere sapne bikhar ke
Like my shattered dreams.
Jale man tera bhi, kisi ke milan ko
May your mind also burn!
Anamika, tu bhi tarse
Anamika, may you thirst for the companionship of someone.
Mere Naseeb Mein (Love & Destiny)
Mere naseeb mein too hain ke nahee,
tere naseeb mein main hoo ke nahee
Are you in my destiny or not,
Am I in your destiny or not
Mere naseeb mein too hain ke nahee,
Tere naseeb mein main hoo ke nahee
Are you in my destiny or not,

The one who has written the destiny of all
Mere naseeb mein too hain ke nahee,
Tere naseeb mein main hoo ke nahee
Are you in my destiny or not,

Yek din khwaab me, wo muhje mil gayaa
One day, in my dreams, he met me
Yek din khwaab me, wo muhje mil gayaa
One day, in my dreams, he met me
Dekhakar ja mujhe, fool saa khil gayaa
And after seeing me, blossomed like a flower
Sharamaa gayee mai, ghabaraa gayee mai
Felt shame, i became confused
Sharamaa gayee mai, ghabaraa gayee mai(2)
Felt shame, i became confused
Kahane lagaa wo aa kar kareeb
After coming close he began to speak
Mere naseeb mein too hain ke nahee,
tere naseeb mein main hoo ke nahee
Are you in my destiny or not,
Am I in your destiny or not
Hum kahee fir mile, Ik hasee raat me
Should we meet one beautiful night
Hum kahee fir mile, Ik hasee raat me
Should we meet one beautiful night
Baat ye aa gayee, fir kisee baat me
If this thing has come to pass, then in anything
Ab ke huaa ye, maine kahaa ye
This thing that has happened, i have said
ab ke huaa ye, maine kahaa ye
This thing that has happened, i have said
Mujhe ko bataa de mere habeeb
Tell me, my beloved.
Mere naseeb mein too hain ke nahee,
tere naseeb mein main hoo ke nahee
Are you in my destiny or not,
Am I in your destiny or not
Ye hum kyaa jaane, ye wahee jaane,
jisane likhaa hain sab kaa naseeb
What do I know, only he knows,
the one who has written the destiny of all
Mere naseeb mein too hain ke nahee, tere naseeb mein main hoo ke nahee
Are you in my destiny or not, Am I in your destiny or not
Main Pal Do Pal (Life)
Main pal do pal ka shaayar huun
I’m a poet only for a second or two;
Pal do pal meri kahaani hai
My story will be over in a few seconds.
Pal do pal meri hansti hai
My laughter is only for a moment or two;
Pal do pal meri jawaani hai
My youth will be over in a few moments. – 2
Main pal do pal ka shaayar huun
I’m a poet only for a second or two.
Mujhse pahale kitne shaayar aaye aur aakar chale gaye
Many poets came before me, and after coming, departed;
Kuchh aahein bharkar laut gaye
Some went filled with sighs,
Kuchh nagme gaakar chale gaye
And some went singing songs.
Voh bhi ek pal ka qissa tha
They were only the story of a moment in time;
Main bhi ek pal ka qissa huun
I too am only the story of a moment.
Kal tumse juda ho jaa’uunga
Tomorrow I will be separated from you,
Voh aaj tumhaara hissa huun
But for today, I’m a part of you.
Main pal do pal ka shaayar huun
I’m a poet only for a second or two;
Pal do pal meri kahaani hai
My story will be over in a few seconds.
Pal do pal meri hansti hai
My laughter is only for a moment or two;
Pal do pal meri jawaani hai
My youth will be over in a few moments. – 2
Main pal do pal ka shaayar huun
I’m a poet of a moment or two, no more.
Kal aur aayeinge nagmon ki
Tomorrow new songs will arrive,
Khilti kaliyaan chunnevaale
Freshly bloomed blossoms to be plucked.
Mujhse behatar kahanevaale
There will be better storytellers than me,
Tumse behatar sunnevaale
And better listeners than you.
Kal koi mujhko yaad kare
Tomorrow, someone might remember me;
Kyon koi mujhko yaad kare
But why should anyone remember me?
Masaruuf zamaana mere liye
For my sake, why should this busy world
Kyon vaqt apna barbaad kare
Waste its time?
Main pal do pal ka shaayar huun
I’m a poet only for a second or two;
Pal do pal meri kahaani hai
My story will be over in a few seconds.
Pal do pal meri hansti hai
My laughter is only for a moment or two;
Pal do pal meri jawaani hai
My youth will be over in a few moments. – 2

Main Shaayar To Nahin (Love)
Main shaayar to nahin
Main shaayar to nahin, magar ae haseen
Jab se dekha maine tujhko mujhko
Shaayari aa gayi
I’m not a poet
I’m not a poet but hey beauty,
Since the time I saw you
Poetry came to me (implying he became capable of poetry)
Main shaayar to nahin
Main shaayar to nahin, magar ae haseen
Jab se dekha maine tujhko mujhko
Shaayari aa gayi
Main aashiq to nahin, magar ae haseen
Jab se dekha maine tujhko mujhko
Aashiqui aa gayi
I am not romantic, but hey beauty,
Since the time I saw you
I have started being romantic
Main shaayar to nahin
Pyaar ka naam maine suna tha magar
Pyaar kya hai, yeh mujhko nahin thi khabar
I had heard about love but
What love was, I didn’t understand
Pyaar ka naam maine suna tha magar
Pyaar kya hai, yeh mujhko nahin thi khabar
Main to uljha raha uljhanon ki tarha
Doston mein raha dushmanon ki tarha
I was confused about these problems
Like enemies hidden among one´s friends
Main dushman to nahin
Main dushman to nahin, magar ae haseen
Jab se dekha maine tujhko mujhko
Dosti aa gayi
I am no one´s enemy
I am not an enemy, but dear beauty,
Since the time I saw you,
I understood friendship
Main shaayar to nahin
Sochta hoon agar main dua maangta
Haath apne uthaakar main kya maangta
I sometimes think that if I ever prayed
What possibly could I have asked for
Sochta hoon agar main dua maangta
Haath apne uthaakar main kya maangta
Jab se tujhse mohabbat main karne laga
Tab se jaise ibaadat main karne laga
Since I fell in love with you
I have started worshipping god too
Main kaafir to nahin
Main kaafir to nahin, magar ae haseen
Jab se dekha maine tujhko mujhko
bandagi aa gayi
I am not ignorant
I am not ignorant, but hey beauty,
Since the time I saw you,
I´ve begun to feel more belief and belonging
Main shaayar to nahin, magar ae haseen
Jab se dekha maine tujhko mujhko
Shaayari aa gayi
Main shaayar to nahin .
Maine Tere Liye Hi Saat (Love)
Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
Only For you I have selected seven colors of dreams
Sapne, surile sapne
Dreams, melodious dreams
Kuch hansee ke, kuch gum ke
Few are laughter and few are sorrow
Teri ankhon ke saye churaye rasili yaadon ne
Juicy memories stolen from under the shades of your eyes
Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
Only For you I have selected seven colors of dreams
Sapne, surile sapne
Dreams, melodious dreams
Choti baaten
Small talks
Choti choti baaton ki hai yaadein badi
Big Memories are made of small talks
Bhoole nahin bithi hui ek choti ghadi
I have not forgotten a single moment gone by
Janam janam se, aankhen bichaaye, tere liye in rahon mein
In every life my eyes have been laid out for you in these paths
Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
Only For you I have selected seven colors of dreams
Sapne, surile sapne
Dreams, melodious dreams
Bhole bhale
Good and innocent
Bhole bhale dil ko behlate rahe
Innocent and good have embraced my heart
Tanhai mein tere khayalon ko sajate rahe
When I was alone I kept thinking about you
Kabhi kabhi tho, aavaaz dekar, mujhko jagaya khabon ne
Some times dreams called me I got awakened
Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
Only For you I have selected seven colors of dreams
Sapne, surile sapne
Dreams, melodious dreams
Roothi raatein
Sad nights
Roothi hui raaton ko manaya kabhi
When nights were sad I became friendly with those nights
Tere liye beethi subah ko bulaya kabhi
Sometimes I called morning of yesterday only for you
Tere bina bhi, tere liye hi, diye jalaye raaton mein
Without you but only for you I lit lamps at night
Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune
Only For you I have selected seven colors of dreams
Sapne, surile sapne
Dreams, melodious dreams
Musafir Hoon Yaaron (Love)
Musafir Hoon Yaaron Na Ghar Hai Na Tikhana
Friends I am a wonderer traveler I do not have home and address
Hm Hm He
Musafir Hoon Yaaron Na Ghar Hai Na Tikhana
Friends I am a wonderer traveler I do not have home and address
Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai Bas Chalte Jaana
I have to travel and travel
Ek Raah Rukh Gayi Tho Aur Judh Gayi
When one road or aim or wish ended that road or aim or wish got connected to other road or aim or wish
Main Mura Tho Saath Saath Raha Murgayi
When I turned the road or aim or wish the road turned with me.
Hawaon Ke Paron Par Mera Ashiana
My home is at the feets of air
Musafir Hoon Yaaron Na Ghar Hai Na Tikhana
Friends I am a wonderer traveler I do not have home and address
Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai Bas Chalte Jaana
I have to travel and travel
Din Ne Haath Thaam Kar Idhar Bithaliya
I sat here as the day is finished
Raat Ne Ishaare Se Udhar Bulahliya
Darkness that is night kept me here
Subah se Shaam Se Mera Dostana
For me evening and morning are like best friends
Musafir Hoon Yaaron Na Ghar Hai Na Tikhana
Friends I am a wonderer traveler I do not have home and address
Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai Bas Chalte Jaana
I have to travel and travel
Musafir Hoon Yaaron Na Ghar Hai Na Tikhana
Friends I am a wonderer traveler I do not have home and address
Mujhe Chalte Jaana Hai Bas Chalte Jaana
I have to travel and travel
Patthar Ke Sanam (Love)
Patthar ke sanam, tujhe hamane, muhabbat ka khuda jaana
Oh lover made of stone (i.e. heartless lover), I thought of you as God
Patthar ke sanam, tujhe hamane, muhabbat ka khuda jaana
Oh lover made of stone (i.e. heartless lover), I thought of you as God
Badi bhul hui, are hamne ye kya samajhaa, ye kya jaanaa
It was such a mistake, alas, what did I understand, what did I know.
Patthar ke sanam
Oh lover with heart of stone
Chehara tera dil mein liye, chalate rahee angaaron pe
Keeping your face in my heart, I kept walking on burning coals
Tu ho kahin,(2) sajade kiye hamne tere rukasaaron pe
No matter where you were, I prayed/bowed on your face
Ham sa na ho, koi divaanaa
There can be no one, as crazy as me
Patthar ke sanam, tujhe hamane, muhabbat ka khuda jaana
Oh lover made of stone (i.e. heartless lover), I thought of you as God
Patthar ke sanam….
Oh lover with heart of stone
Socha tha yeh badh jaayengi tanhaaiyaan jab raaton ki
I thought that when the loneliness of the nights would increase
Rasta hamein(2) dikhlaayengi shamm-e-wafa in ankhon ki
The light of faith/fidelity in your eyes will show me the way
Thokar lagi, tab pehchaana
After being hit, I realized
Patthar ke sanam, tujhe hamane, muhabbat ka khuda jaana
Oh lover made of stone (i.e. heartless lover), I thought of you as God
Patthar ke sanam
Oh lover with heart of stone
Ai kaash ke hoti khabar tune kise thukaraaya hai
If only you knew who you have rejected
Shisha nahi (2), saagar nahin, mandir sa ik dil dhaaya hai
Not glass, not ocean, my heart is like a temple
Saara aasamaan, hai viraanaa,
The whole sky is barren/lonely
Patthar ke sanam, tujhe hamane, muhabbat ka khuda jaana
Oh lover made of stone (i.e. heartless lover), I thought of you as God
Patthar ke sanam
Oh lover with heart of stone
Raat aaur din (Reflection on life)
Raat aaur din diyaa jale, mere man mein fir bhee andhiyaaraa hai
Jaane kahaa, hai O saathee, too jo mile jeewan ujiyaaraa hai
Night and day the Candle burns, my heart is still in darkness
Don’t know where is that partner, if you meet, light would spread in the life.
Night and Day…..
Pag pag man meraa thhokar khaaye, chaand sooraj bhee raah naa dikhaaye
Ayesaa ujaalaa koee man mein samaaye, jis se piyaa kaa darshan mil jaaye
Every step my heart get bumped, even Moon and Sun don’t show me the way
Such a light enters in to heart so that I can see my beloved one (lover),
Night and day……
Gaharaa ye bhed koee muj ko bataaye, kisane kiyaa hain mujapar anyaay
Jis kaa ho deep wo sukh naheen paaye, jyot diye kee duje ghar ko sajaaye
Somebody tell me this deep mystery, who has done injustice with me
(Jiska ho deep vo sukh nahi paye…)
The Candle whom it belongs to don’t get benefit (of the light), the flame of Candle gives light to your house,
Khud naheen jaanoo dhoondhe kis ko nazar, kaun dishaa hain mere man kee dagar
Kitanaa ajab ye dil kaa safar, nadiyaan mein aaye jaaye jaise lahar
I don’t know whom my eyes searching for, which way my heart goes
This journey of heart is so strange, like waves of the River.
Suhani Raat (Reflection on life)
Suhaani raat dhal chuki
The lovely night has descended
Na jaane tum kab aaoge – 2
I don’t know when you will come
Jahan ki rut badal chuki
The world’s climate has changed
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come
Nazaarein apni mastiyaan dikha dikhaake so gaye
The sights have shown their madness and gone to sleep
Sitaarein apni roshni luta lutaake so gaye
The stars have thrown out their shine and gone to sleep
Har ek, shamma jal chuki
Each and every lamp has burned out
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come
Suhaani raat dhal chuki
The lovely night has descended
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come
Tadap rahe hai hum yahan
I am suffering here
Tadap rahe hai hum yahan tumhaare intezaar mein
I am suffering here in your wait
Tumhaare intezaar mein
In your wait
Fiza ka rang aa chala hai
The atmosphere’s color has come
Mausam-e-bahaar mein – 2
In the spring season
Mausam-e-bahaar mein
In the spring season
Hawa bhi rukh badal chuki
The wind has also changed face
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come
Suhaani raat dhal chuki
The lovely night has descended
Na jaane tum kab aaoge
I don’t know when you will come
Tere Bina Zindagi Se (Love)
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
Without you, there will not be any complaints about life
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi
But then without you my life will not be a life at all
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi
Without you, I will have no complaints about life
Kaash aisa ho tere qadmo se, chun ke manzil chale, aur kahi, door kahi (2)
If only the destiny was to touch your feet and go somewhere else, far away
Tum gar saath ho, manzilo ki, kami to nahi
If you are with me, there are many destinations
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi
Without you I will have no complaints with life
(Dialog begins)
Suno Aarti.., ye jo phoolon ki belen nazar aati hain na,
Listen Arti… you see these flower vines
Darasal ye belein nahin hai, arabi main aayaten likhi huyi hain.
Actually they are not vines, but signs/symbols written in Arabic
Ise din ke vaqt dekhna chahiye.., bilkul saaf nazar aati hain.
You should watch it during the day..is very clear then
Din ke vaqt ye paani se bharaa rahataa hai.
During the day it is filled with water
Din ke vaqt.., jab ye fuwhare…
In the daytime…. when the droplets…
Kyon din ki baaten kar rahe ho.
Why are you talking about daytime
Kahaan aa paaungi main din ke vaqt?
How will I be able to come during the day
Ye jo chaand hai na, ise raat main dekhnaa…
See this moon… watch it at night…..
Ye din main nahin nikaltaa ..
It doesn’t come out at daytime
Ye to jaroor nikaltaa hogaa
This surely must be coming out
Haan.., lekin beech mein amaavas aa jaati hai.
Yes, but in the middle/halfway there is the dark night
Waise to amaavas pandra dinon ke hothi hai, lekin is baar bahut lambi thhi
Actually the darkest night is usually for 15 days, but this time it was a very long one
Nau baras lambi thhi naa ?
Was as long as 9 years, na?
(Dialog ends)
Jee mein aata hai, tere daaman mein, sar jhuka ke ham, rote rahe, rote rahe (2)
I feel like, keeping my head at your feet/ in your lap I cry over and over
Teri bhi aankho mein, aansuo ki, nami to nahi
In your eyes also isn’t there a trace of tears
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi,
Without you I will have no complaints of life
shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
No compaints
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi,
But without you my life is not a life at all
zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi
Tum jo keh do to aaj ki raat, chaand doobega nahi, raat ko rok lo (2)
If you say then the moon will not set tonight, make the night last forever
Raat ki baat hai, aur zindagi baaki to nahi
It is only for the night… the rest of the life may not be there
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi,
Without you I will have no complaints of life
Shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi, shikwa nahi
No compaints
Tere bina zindagi bhi lekin, zindagi, to nahi,
But without you my life is not a life at all
zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi, zindagi nahi
Tere bina zindagi se koyi, shikwa, to nahi,
Without you I will have no complaints of life
Tere Honthon Ke Phool (Love)
Tere honthon ke do phool pyaare-pyaare – 2
The two sweet flowers of your lips
Mere pyaar ki bahaaron ke nazaare
The view of the season of my love
Ab mujhe chaman se (kya lena) – 2
Now I have no care over the flower garden
Teri aankhon ke do taare pyaare-pyaare
The two sweet stars of your eyes
Meri raaton ke chamakate sitaare
The shining stars of my nights
Ab mujhe gagan se (kya lena) – 2
Now I have no care over the sky
Tere honthon ke do phool pyaare-pyaare
The two sweet flowers of your lips
Teri kaaya kanchan-kanchan kiranon ka hai jisamein basera
Your body abodes the golden sun rays
Teri saansen mahakee-mahaki teri zulfon mein kushbu ka dera
Your fragrant breaths, aroma resides in your tresses
Tera mahake ang-ang jaise sone mein sugandh
Every part of your body is perfumed as if the scent from gold
Mujhe chandan-van se (kya lena) – 2
What do I care about the fragrant sandalwood
Teri aankhon ke do taare pyaare-pyaare
The two sweet stars of your eyes
Meri raaton ke chamakate sitaare
The shining stars of my nights
Maine dekha jabase tujhako mere sapane hue sindoori
Since I have seen you, my dreams have become adorned
Tujhe pa ke mere jeevan-dhan har kami hui meri poori
From obtaining you my life has become rich, every deficiency has become fulfilled
Piya ek tera pyaar mere solah singaar
Beloved only your love is my beautification
Mujhe ab darpan se (kya lena) – 2
Now what do I care about a mirror
Tere honthon ke do phool pyaare-pyaare
The two sweet flowers of your lips
Mere pyaar ki bahaaron ke nazaare
The view of the season of my love
Tera mukhada damake-chamake jaise saagar pe chamake savera
Your face shines like how the sunrise shines on the sea
Teri baanhen pyaar ke jhoole teri baanhon mein jhoole man mera
Your arms are like the swings of love, my heart swings in your arms
Teri meethi har baat
Every talk of yours is sweet
Ras ki hai barasaat
The rain is of sweet juice
hamein ab saavan se (kya lena) – 2
Now what do I care about the season
Tere honthon ke do phool pyaare-pyaare
The two sweet flowers of your lips
Teri aankhon ke do taare pyaare-pyaare
The two sweet stars of your eyes
ab mujhe gagan se (kya lena) – 2
Now I have no care over the sky
ab mujhe gagan se (kya lena) – 2
Now I have no care over the sky
(Hame kya lena kya lena) – 2
Now we have no care
Tere Mere Milan Ki (Love)
Tere mere milan ki ye raina
This night of our union,
Naya koi gul khilaayegi
A new flower will blossom.
Tabhi to chanchal hain tere naina
That’s why your gaze is so bashful.
Dekho na
Just look!
Dekho na tere mere milan ki ye raina
Look! This night of our union,
Nanha sa gul khilega angana
A little flower will bloom;
Suuni bainyaan sajegi sajana
Our empty arms will be filled, darling.
Nanha sa gul khilega angana
A little flower will bloom;
Suuni bainyaan sajegi sajana
Our empty arms will be filled, darling.
Jaise khele chanda baadal mein
Just as the moon plays in the clouds,
Khelega vo tere aanchal mein
He will play in your skirts.
Chandaniyaan gunagunaayegi…
The moonbeams will sing…
Tabhi to chanchal hain tere naina dekho na
That’s why your gaze is so bashful.
Tere mere milan ki ye raina
This night of our union,
Tujhe thaame kayi haathon se
Catching hold of you in countless embraces,
Miluunga madabhari raaton mein
I’ll meet you in the scented nights.
Tujhe thaame kayi haathon se
Catching hold of you in countless embraces,
Miluunga madabhari raaton mein
I’ll meet you in the scented nights.
Jagaake ansuuni si dhaDakan
Awakening unfamiliar feelings in your heart,
Balamava bhar duungi tera mann
I will fill your senses, my love.
Nayi ada se sataayegi…
You’ll torment me in a new way…
Tabhi to chanchal hain tere naina dekho na
That’s why your gaze is so bashful; see?
Tere mere milan ki ye raina
This night of our union,
Naya koi gul khilaayegi
A new flower will blossom.
Tabhi to chanchal hain tere naina
That’s why your gaze is so bashful.
Dekho na
Just look!
Dekho na tere mere milan ki ye raina
Look! This night of our union,
Tu Pyaar Ka Saagar hai (Love)
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
you are an ocean of love
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
We are thirsty for a single drop of love
Lauta jo diya tune
Lauta jo diya tune
If you turn us away
Chale jaayenge jahaan se hum
Chale jaayenge jahaan se hum
We will go away from this world, we will meet to death
Chorus:
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
you are an ocean of love
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
We are thirsty for a single drop of love
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
you are an ocean of love
Mm mm mm mm mm, mm
Mm mm mm mm mm
Ghaayal mann ka paagal panchhi urne ko beqaraar
the wounded bird of the heart is restless to fly
Pankh hai komal, aankh hai dhundli
the wings are delicate, the eyes are foggy
Jaana hai saagar baar
Jaana hai saagar baar
have to go across the ocean
Ab tu hi isse samjha
Ab tu hi isse samjha
Now only you can explain it my soul and heart
Raah bhoole the kahan se hum
Raah bhoole the kahan se hum
from where have we forgotten the path
Chorus;
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
you are an ocean of love
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
We are thirsty for a single drop of love
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
you are an ocean of love
Mm mm mm mm mm,
Mm mm mm mm mm
Idhar jhoom ke gaaye zindagi
on this side life sings and dances
Udhar hai maut khadi
Udhar hai maut khadi
on that side death is standing
Koi kya jaane kahaan hai seema
who can know where is the border
Uljhan aan padi
Uljhan aan padi
The mind is confused now
Kaanon mein zara keh de
Kaanon mein zara keh de
Tell me in my ears
Ke aaye kaun dikha se hum
Ke aaye kaun dikha se hum
from which direction have we come
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
you are an ocean of love
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
Teri ek boond ke pyaase hum
We are thirsty for a single drop of love
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
Tu pyaar ka saagar hai
you are an ocean of love
Tu jo Nahi Koee Meraa (Love)
Tu jo nahi koee meraa,
Meraa koee nahi
Koee nahi….
Zindagee teree yaadon mein khoyee,
Phir bhee khoyee nahi,
Zindagee, teree yaadon mein khoyee,
Phir bhee khoyee nahi,
Tu jo nahi koee meraa,
Meraa koee nahi,
Koee nahi,
If you aren’t someone who is mine,
No one is mine,
No one…
Life is absorbed in your memories,
Despite this, it is not destroyed,
If you aren’t someone who is mine,
No one is mine,
No one…
Zindagee teree yaadon mein khoyee,
Phir bhee khoyee nahi…
Teree chaahat naa jab tak, milegee
Teree chaahat, na jab tak milegee,
Ruh meree bhataktee rahegee,
Haal meraa agar voh suneinge,
Mujhe pe deewaane bhee ro padeinge,
Mujhe pe deewaane bhee ro padeinge,
Haal sun ke meraa phir bhee teree,
aankh royee nahi…
Tuu jo nahi koee meraa,
meraa koee nahi,
koee nahi,
Till the time I find your love,
My spirit will rove,
If they were to hear about my circumstance,
Even the crazy ones would weep over me,
Even upon hearing about my state your
Eyes didn’t weep…
If you aren’t someone who is mine,
No one is mine,
No one…
Zindagee teree yaadon mein khoyee,
Phir bhee khoyee nahi…
Phir se Dekha tujhe, hamne jis damm
Phir se Dekha, tujhe hamne jis damm,
Mar chale theh magar jee uthe hamm,
Berukhee se hamein tuune maaraa,
Tuu hai kaisaa, maseeh hamaaraa,
Tuu hai kaisaa maseeh hamaaraa,
Jab lagaanee naa theeh paar nayya,
kyoon duboyee nahi,
Tuu jo nahi koee meraa,
meraa koee nahi,
Koee nahi,
Life is absorbed in your memories,
Despite this, it is not destroyed,
The moment we saw you again,
We were dying but got revived,
You killed us by your indifference,
What kind of savior are you?
When you didn’t want to take the boat ashore
Why didn’t you sink it?
If you aren’t someone who is mine,
No one is mine,
No one…
Zindagee teree yaadon mein khoyee,
Phir bhee khoyee nahi,
Zindagee teree yaadon mein khoyee,
Phir bhee khoyee nahi.
Life is absorbed in your memories,
Despite this, it is not destroyed,
Tere Pyaari Pyaari (Love)
Teri pyaari pyaari surat ko
Kissi nazar na lage chashme-baddur
May all malicious looks be away from your lovely visage.
May God preserve you from evil eyes.
Mukhde ko chhupa lo aanchal mein kahin meri nazar na lage chashme-baddur
Just hide your face in your mantle, even to avoid my glance!
May God preserve you from evil eyes.
Yoon na akele phira karo sab ki nazar se daraa karo
Don’t wander alone like this, be afraid of the evil eyes of others.
Phool se jyada nazuk ho tum jaal sambhal kar chala karo
You’re even more delicate that a flower, just beware of the traps.
Zulfon ko gira lo gaalo par mausam ki nazar na lage chashme-baddur
Spread the locks of your hair on your cheeks, so that you’ll be saved from the malicious glance of the surroundings. May God preserve you from evil eyes.
Teri pyaari pyaari surat ko kissi nazar na lage chashme-baddur
May all malicious looks be away from your lovely visage. May God preserve you from evil eyes.
Ek jhalak jo paata hai raahi wahin ruk jaata hai
Once any traveler or passerby get a glimpse of you, he usually gets stuck over there.
Dekh ke tera roop salona chaand bhi sir ko chhupaata hai
After seeing your beautiful and comely face, even the moon shies away.
Dekha na karo tum aai na kahin khud ki nazar na lage chashme-baddur
Don’t look into the mirrors, or its reflecting glance may affect you.
May God preserve you from evil eyes.
Teri pyaari pyaari surat ko kissi nazar na lage chashme-baddur
May all malicious looks be away from your lovely visage. May God preserve you from evil eyes.
Mukhde ko chhupa lo aanchal mein kahin meri nazar na lage chashme-baddur
Just hide your face in your mantle, even to avoid my glance!
May God preserve you from evil eyes.
Tum Agar Sath Dene Ka Vada Karo (Love)
Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Karo
Maine Yunhi Mast Nagme Lutata Rahoon
Tum Mujhe Dekh Kar Muskurati Raho
Maine Tumhe Dekh Kar Geet Gaata Rahoon
Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Karo
Maine Yunhi Mast Nagme Lutata Rahoon
As long as you promise to be with me
I will keep singing beautiful melodies
If you look at me and keep smiling
I will keep looking at you and sing for you
Kitne Jalwe Fizaaon Maine Bikhare Magar
Maine Ab Tak Kisi Ko Pukara Nahin
Tumko Dekha To Nazrein Yeh Kehne Lagin
Humko Chehre Se Hatna Gavara Nahin
Tum Agar Meri Nazron Ke Aage Raho,
Maine Har Ek Shaiy Se Nazrein Churata Rahoon
Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Karo
Maine Yunhi Mast Nagme Lutata Rahoon
Many beautiful temptations came my way
I have never been attracted to any
As soon as I took one look at you
I was not able to take my eyes off you
As long as you are in my presence
I will avoid all temptations
Maine Khwabon Mein Barson Tarasha Jise
Tum Vahi Sang-E-Marmar Ki Tasveer Ho
Tum Na Samjho Tumhara Muqadar Hoon Maine
Maine Samajhta Hoon Tum Meri Taqdeer Ho
Tum Agar Mujhko Apna Samajhne Lago
Mein Bahaaron Ki Mehfil Sajata Rahoon,
Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Karo
Maine Yunhi Mast Nagme Lutata Rahoon
The image that I had sculpted in my dreams
You are same image personified
You may not think that I am you destiny
But I believe you are mine
If you think of me as yours
I will think life is wonderful
Main akelaa bahut der chalataa rahaa
Ab safar zindagaani ka katataa nahin
Jab talak koi rangin sahaaraa naa ho
Vaqt qaafir javaani kaa katataa nahin
Tum agar hamaqadam banake chalati raho
Main zamin par sitaare bichhaataa rahun
I have been lonely for a while
But now I can’t live this lonely life
If one does not have a beautiful partner
The time of youth becomes unbearable
If your footsteps are beside mine
I will throw a carpet of stars under your feet
Tum Agar Saath Dene Ka Vada Karo
Maine Yunhi Mast Nagme Lutata Rahoon
Tum Mujhe Dekh Kar Muskurati Raho
Maine Tumhe Dekh Kar Geet Gaata Rahoon
Waqt Se Din Aur Raat (Reflection on time)
Kal jahaan basti thi khushiyaan,
Aaj hai maatam wahaan,
Waqt laaya thaa bahaare,
Waqt laaya hai khizaan
Yesterday where happiness had dwelled
Today there is mourning
Time had brought spring
Time has brought the decaying autumn
Waqt se din aur raat,
Waqt se kal aur aaj,
Waqt ki har shay ghulaam,
Waqt ka har shay par raaj.
Waqt se din aur raat,
Waqt se kal aur aaj,
Waqt ki har shay ghulaam,
Waqt ka har shay par raaj.
The night and day exist because of time
The future and the present adheres to time,
All things are subservient to time,
That which governs all things is time.
The night and day exist because of time
The future and the present adheres to time,
All things are subservient to time,
That which governs all things is time.
Waqt ki gardish se hai
Chaand taaron ka nizaam,
Waqt ki gardish se hai
Chaand taaron ka nizaam,
Waqt ki thokar mein hai,
Kya huqumat kya samaaj,
Kya huqumat kya samaaj.
Waqt se din aur raat,
Waqt se kal aur aaj,
Waqt ka har shay par raaj.
Waqt ki har shay ghulaam,
With the revolution and passing of time
Lies the governing of celestial bodies
With the revolution of time
Lies the administration of celestial bodies
Time has all at its feet:
Whether it’s the kingdom or the society,
Whether it’s the kingdom or the society,
The night and day exist because of time
The future and the present adheres to time,
All things are subservient to time,
That which governs all things is time.
Waqt ki paaband hain
Aati jaati raunaqein
Waqt hai phoolon ki sej,
Waqt hai kaanto ka taaj,
Waqt hai kaanto ka taaj.
To the time is subjugated
The ephmeral splendors,
Time is a bed of flowers,
Time is a crown of thorns,
Time is a crown of thorns,
Waqt se din aur raat,
Waqt se kal aur aaj,
Waqt ka har shay par raaj.
Waqt ki har shay ghulaam,
The night and day exist because of time
The future and the present adheres to time,
All things are subservient to time,
That which governs all things is time.
Aadmi ko chaahiye,
Waqt se dar kar rahe…
Aadmi ko chaahiye,
Waqt se dar kar rahe…
Kaun jaane kis ghadi,
Waqt ka badle mizaaj,
Waqt ka badle mizaaj.
Man must make it a point
To be respectful of time,
Man must make it a point
To be respectful of time,
Who knows at what moment
Time will change its temparament,
Time will change its temparament,
Waqt se din aur raat,
Waqt se kal aur aaj,
Waqt ka har shay par raaj.
Waqt ki har shay ghulaam,
The night and day exist because of time
The future and the present adheres to time,
All things are subservient to time,
That which governs all things is time.
Zindagi bhar nahi bholengi (Love)
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi vo barasaat ki raat
Never ever will forget that raining night for my whole lifetime
ek anjaan hasina se mulaakaat ki raat
The night of bumping into a stranger,
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
Never will forget for the whole lifetime
Haaye vo reshmi zulfon se barasthaa paani
Sigh! That trickling water from those sinken locks(2)
phool se gaalon pe rukne ko tarasthaa paani
That water, palpitating to stay on your delicate flower-like cheeks
dil mein toofaan utaathe huae
And those instigating emotional storms in the heart,
dil mein toofaan utaathe hue jasbaath ki raat
Those instigating emotional storms in the heart, in a night of emotions.
zindagii bhar nahin bhoolegi
Never will forget for the whole lifetime
Dar ke bijli se achaanak vo lipat naa uskaa
Her cringing and cuddling up being frightened by the lightening strikes,
aur phir sharm se balakhaaki simat naa uskaa
And then pulling back while blushing
kabhi dekhee na sunee aisee ho
Never ever thought or seen like this,
kabhi dekhee na sunee aisee tilismaat ki raat
Never ever thought or seen like this, this night of enchantment,
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
Never will forget for the whole lifetime
Surkh aanchal ko dabaakar jo nichodaa usne
As she twisted while pressing the end of her sari (2)
dil pe jalthaa huaa ek teer saa chodaa usne
She shoots the burning arrow passions to the heart,
aag paanee mein lagaathe hue
Setting alight even the water,
aag paani mein lagaathe hue halaath ki raat
The night of having such situations, which set alight the water,
zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi
Never will forget for the whole lifetime
Mere nagmon mein jo basthee hai vo thasveer thee vo
She is that portrait which dwelled in the songs of my heart,
naujavaanee ke haseen kwaab ki taabeer thee vo
She is the reality of the beautiful dreams of youthfulness,
aasmanon se uthar aayee hoo
Has come down from the heavens,
aasmanon se uthar aayee thi jo raat kee raat
That nights of nights which has come down from the heavens,
zindagii bhar nahin bhoolegi
Never will forget for the whole lifetime
Zindagi Ke Safar Main Guzar (Love)
Zindagi ke safar mein, guzar jate hain jo makam
Woh phir nahin aate,
Woh phir nahin aate
Zindagi ke safar mein,guzar jate hain jo makam
Woh phir nahin aate,
Woh phir nahin aate
Life is a journey we have to spend here
And it never comes back
And it never comes back
Life is a journey we have to spend here
And it never comes back
And it never comes back
Phool khilte hain,
Log milte hain
Phool khilte hain,
Log milte hain magar
Patjhar main jo phool
Murjha jate hain
Woh baharon ke aane se khilte nahin
Kuchh log ek roz jo bichad jate hain
Woj hazaron ke aane se milte nahin
Umr bhar chahe koi pukara kare unka naam
Woh phir nahin aate,
Woh phir nahin aate
Flowers bloom
Sorrows meet
But like flowers
Regret soon withers
But in this spring there won’t be blossoms
Some sorrow on each day of separation
Still there’s not the right one among the thousands you meet
For screaming his name out loudly you need more maturity
And it never comes back
And it never comes back
Aakh dhoka hai
Kya bharosa hai
Aap dhoka hai kya bharosa hai suno
Doston shak dosti ka dushman hai
Apne dil me ise ghar banane na do
Kal tarapna pade yaad me zindagi
Rok lo roothkar unko jaane na do
Baad me pyaar ke chahe bhejo hazaro salaam
Woh phir nahi aate
Woh phir nahi aate
Your eyes get wet
What’s the matter
Your eyes get wet, what’s the matter, listen
My friend, there are often doubts and friends are enemies
Let me find a home in your heart
Those who will remember me tomorrow, will remember life
Let these moments of doubts go away
No matter how much my love craves, I still greet it at thousand times
And it never comes back
And it never comes back
Subaah aate hai
Raat jaate hai
Subaah aate hai
Raat jaate hai yuhi
Waqt chalta hee rehta hai rukta nahi
Ek pal me ye aage nikal jaata hai
Aadmi theek se dekh paata nahin
Aur parde pe manzar badal jaata hai
Ek baar chale jaate hai jo din raat subaaho shaam
Woh phir nahi aate
Woh phir nahi aate
Morning comes
Night goes by
Morning comes
Night goes by here
Time passes by and nobody ever realizes it
In a moment everything can change
You’ll see the right thing but you’ll never know
And in this fog things are changing
One day we have to go for it, at darkness or daylight, morning or evening
Zindagi ke safar mein,guzar jate hain jo makam
Woh phir nahin aate,
Woh phir nahin aate
Life is a journey we have to spend here
And it never comes back
And it never comes back
Raahi Manva dukh Ki (Love)
Raahi manva dukh ki chinta kyon sataati hai
Dukh to apna saathi hai
O traveller why do you worry about sorrow
Sorrow is our friend
Sukh hai ek chhaanv dhalti aati hai jaati hai
Happiness is but a transient shadow, it comes and goes
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Only sorrow is our companion
Raahi manva dukh ki chinta kyon sataati hai
O traveller why do you worry about sorrow
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Sorrow is our friend
Door hai manzil door sahi
If destination is afar, so be it
Pyar hamaara kya kam hai
Is our love any less powerful
Pag mein kaante laakh sahi
Even if there are thousands of thorns in path
Par ye sahaara kya kam hai
Is our support any less?
Hamraah tere koi apna to hai
O traveller, you do have your someone
Hamraah tere koi apna to hai
O traveller, you do have your someone
Ho o , Sukh hai ek chhaanv dhalti aati hai jaati hai
Happiness is but a transient shadow, it comes and goes
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Sorrow is our friend
Raahi manva dukh ki chinta kyon sataati hai
O traveller why do you worry about sorrow
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Sorrow is our friend
Dukh ho koi tab jalte hain
During the sorrow only, light up
Path ke deep nigaahon mein
Lamps of path in your eyes
Itni badi is duniya ki
In such a big world
Lambi akeli raahon mein
On long lonely paths
Hamraah tere koi apna to hai
O traveller, you do have your someone
Ho , Sukh hai ek chhaanv dhalti aati hai jaati hai
Happiness is but a transient shadow, it comes and goes
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Sorrow is our friend
Raahi manva dukh ki chinta kyon sataati hai
O traveller why do you worry about sorrow
Dukh to apna saathi hai
Sorrow is our friend
Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai (Love)
Yeh jo mohabbat hai, yeh unka hai kaam
This love, it is his job
Arre mehboob ka jo bas lete hue naam
He who only keeps taking the name of his lover
Mar jaaye, mit jaaye, ho jaaye badnaam
He’ll die, he’ll be destroyed, he’ll become ill-reputed
Rehne do chhodo bhi jaane do yaar
Let me be, leave me alone, let me go friend
Hum na karenge pyaar
I will not fall in love
Toote agar saagar naya saagar koi le le
If a wineglass breaks, someone can take a new glass
Mere khuda dil se koi kisi ke na khele
My god, no one should play with anyone’s heart
Dil toot jaaye to kya ho anjaam
If the heart breaks then what will be the result?
Yeh jo mohabbat hai, yeh unka hai kaam
This love, it is his job
Arre mehboob ka jo bas lete hue naam
He who only keeps taking the name of his lover
Mar jaaye, mit jaaye, ho jaaye badnaam
He’ll die, he’ll be destroyed, he’ll become ill-reputed
Rehne do chhodo bhi jaane do yaar
Let me be, leave me alone, let me go friend
Hum na karenge pyaar
I will not fall in love
Aankhen kisi se na ulajh jaaye main darrta hoon
I am scared that my eyes might get tangled with someone else’s
Yaaron haseenon ki gali se main guzarta hoon
Friends, I am passing through a path of girls
Hey, aankhen kisi se na ulaj jaaye main darrta hoon
I am scared that my eyes might get tangled with someone else’s
Yaaron haseenon ki gali se main guzarta hoon
Friends, I am passing through a path of girls
Bas door hi se karke salaam
Just giving them a greeting from afar
Yeh jo mohabbat hai, yeh unka hai kaam
This love, it is his job
Arre mehboob ka jo bas lete hue naam
He who only keeps taking the name of his lover
Mar jaaye, mit jaaye, ho jaaye badnaam
He’ll die, he’ll be destroyed, he’ll become ill-reputed
Rehne do chhodo bhi jaane do yaar
Let me be, leave me alone, let me go friend
Hum na karenge pyaar
I will not fall in love
Yeh Mera Prem Patra (Love)
Meherbaan likhoo
Should I write ‘Kind’
Haseena likhoo
Or write ‘beautiful’
Ya dilruba likhoo
Or ‘a heart stealer’ should I write
Hairaan hun ke aap ko
I am puzzled by
Is khat mein kya likhoo
What I should write to you in this letter
Yeh Mera Prem Patra Padh kar
After reading my love letter to you
Ke tum naraaz na hona
Don’t get angry
Ke tum meri zindagi ho
That you are my life
Ke tum meri bandagi ho
You are my devotion
Yeh Mera Prem Patra Padh kar
After reading my love letter to you
Ke tum naraaz na hona
Don’t get angry
Ke tum meri zindagi ho
That you are my life
Ke tum meri bandagi ho
You are my devotion
Tujhe main chand kehta tha
I would have called you the moon
Magar uss mein daag hai
But it also has a scar
Tujhe main chand kehta tha
I would have called you the moon
Magar Uss mein tau daag hai
But it also has a scar
Tujhe sooraj main kehta tha
I would have called you the sun
Magar uss mein bhi aag hai
But it also has fire in it
Tujhe itnaa hi kehta hun
I am just going to say this to you
Ke mujhko tum se pyaar hai,
Tum se pyaar, Tum se pyaar Hai
That I love you, love you, love you
Yeh Mera Prem Patra Padh kar
After reading my love letter to you
Ke tum naraaz na hona
Don’t get angry
Ke tum meri zindagi ho
That you are my life
Ke tum meri bandagi ho
You are my devotion
Tujhe Ganga main samjhunga
I will consider you the Ganga
Tujhe Jamna main samjhunga
I will consider you as the Yamuna
Tujhe Ganga main samjhunga
I will consider you the Ganga
Tujhe Jamna main samjhunga
I will consider you as the Yamuna
Tu dil ke paas hai itani
You are so close to my heart
Tujhe apna main samjhoonga
That I will consider you as mine
Agar marr jaun ruh bhatkegi
If I die, then my soul would roam
Tere intzaar mein, intzaar mein, intzaar mein
Waiting for you, around in your anticipation
Yeh Mera Prem Patra Padh kar
After reading my love letter to you
Ke tum naraaz na hona
Don’t get angry
Ke tum meri zindagi ho
That you are my life
Ke tum meri bandagi ho
You are my devotion
Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi (Love)
Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi, Yeh Mast Fizaayein
Utha Dheere Dheere, Wo Chaand Pyaara Pyaara
This drenched night, this merry breeze (atmosphere)
The lovely Moon is slowly rising too
Aaa… Aaa…
Kyun Aag Si Laga Ke, Gumsum Hai Chandni
Why is the moonlight silent/lost after igniting a fire
Sone Bhi Nahi Deta, Mausam Ka Yeh Ishaara
This season is acting in such a way that it isn’t letting me sleep
Ithlaati Hawa, Neelam Sa Gagan
This swaggering wind, this sparkling blue sky
Kaliyon Pe Yeh Behoshi Ki Nami
There are intoxicated dew drops lying on the flower buds
Aise Mein Bhi Kyun, Bechain Hai Dil
In such a (wonderful) situation/scenery also, why does my heart feel restless
Jeevan Mein Na Jaane Kya Hai Kami
Who knows what’s missing in my life
Kyun Aag Si Laga Ke, Gumsum Hai Chandni
Why is the moonlight silent after igniting a fire
Sone Bhi Nahi Deta, Mausam Ka Yeh Ishaara
This season is acting in such a way that it isn’t letting me sleep
Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi, Yeh Mast Fizaayein
This drenched night, this merry breeze
Utha Dheere Dheere, Wo Chaand Pyaara Pyaara
The lovely Moon is slowly rising too
Jo Din Ke Ujaale, Mein Na Mila
The ones that couldn’t be found in the light of the day
Dil Dhoonde Aise Sapne Ko
My heart is searching for those dreams
Is Raat Ki Jagmag Mein Doobi
Lost in this glittering night
Main Dhoond Rahi Hoon Apne Ko
I am searching for my beloved/close one
Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi, Yeh Mast Fizaayein
This drenched night, this merry breeze
Utha Dheere Dheere, Wo Chaand Pyaara Pyaara
The lovely Moon is slowly rising too
Kyun Aag Si Laga Ke, Gumsum Hai Chandni
Why is the moonlight silent after igniting a fire
Sone Bhi Nahi Deta, Mausam Ka Yeh Ishaara
This season is acting in such a way that it isn’t letting me sleep
Aise Mein Kahin, Kya Koi Nahin
In such a beautiful atmosphere, is there no one
Bhoole Se Jo Humko Yaad Kare
Who thinks about me, even by mistake
Ek Halki Si, Mus kaan Se Jo
With just one smile of his
Sapnon Ka Jahaan Aabaad Kare
Who can make my dream world flourish
Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi, Yeh Mast Fizaayein
This drenched night, this merry breeze
Utha Dheere Dheere, Wo Chaand Pyaara Pyaara
The lovely Moon is slowly rising too
Kyun Aag Si Laga Ke, Gumsum Hai Chandni
Why is the moonlight silent after igniting a fire
Sone Bhi Nahi Deta, Mausam Ka Yeh Ishaara
This season is acting in such a way that it isn’t letting me sleep
Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi, Yeh Mast Fizaayein
This drenched night, this merry breeze
Utha Dheere Dheere, Wo Chaand Pyaara Pyaara
The lovely Moon is slowly rising too
Yeh Zindagi Ke Mele (Love)
Ye zindagee ke mele
The fairs of life
Duniyaa mein kam na honge
Will never fall short
Afasos ham na honge
But am sorry that I wont be there
Duniyaa hai maujedariyaa, qatare ki zindagi kyaa
The world is a river of joy, life is just a drop in it
Paani men mil ke paani, anjaam ye ke paani
The result of water mixed with water is always a water
Dam bhar ko saans le le, ye zindagi
Let me take deep breathes oh life
Hongi yahi bahaaren, ulfat ki yaadagaaren
This spring season will bhi the remembrance of love
Bigadegi aur chalegi, duniyaa yahi rahegi
Will be mad at time but will keep going, the world will stay where it is
Honge yahi jhamele, ye zindagi
The complications will always be there, oh life
Tum Hi Ho From ‘Aashiqui 2’
Hum Tere Bin Ab Rehe Nahi Sakte
Tere Bina kya Wajood Mera
Hum Tere Bin Ab Rehe Nahi Sakte
Tere Bina kya Wajood Mera
Tujhse Judaa Agar ho Jaayenge to
Khud Se hi Ho Jaayenge Judaa
I can’t live without you
There’s no meaning in my life without you
If I ever get separated from you
It’s like I’m getting separated from myself
Kyo ki Tum Hi Ho… Ab Tum Hi Ho
Zindagi… Ab Tum Hi Ho…
Chein Bhi… Mera Dard Bhi…
Meri Aashiqui… Ab Tum Hi Ho.
Because it’s you… now it’s only you…
My life is now you…
My relief… and my hurt…
The love of my life is only you…
Tera Mera Rishta Hai Kaisa…
Ik Pal Door Gawaar Nahi
Tere Liye Har Roz Hai Jeete
Tujh ko Diya Mera Waqt Sabhi
Koi Lamha Mera Na Ho Teree Bina
Har Saas Pe Naam Tera… Hmm…
What is this bond between you and me
Can’t stay away from each other even for a moment.
It’s for you that I live everyday
I gave you all the time of my life.
There’s not a single moment of my life without you in it
Every breath of mine has your name written on it…
Kyo ki Tum Hi Ho… Ab Tum Hi Ho
Zindagi… Ab Tum Hi Ho…
Chein Bhi… Mera Dard Bhi…
Meri Aashiqui… Ab Tum Hi Ho.
Because it’s you… now it’s only you…
My life is now you…
My relief… and my hurt…
The love of my life is only you…
Tere Liye… Hee Jiya Main..
Tujh Ko Jo Yoon De Diyaa Main
Teri Wafaa Ne Mujhko Sambhala
Saare Ghamon Ko Dil Se Nikaalaa
Tere Saath Mera Hai Naseeb Judaa
Tujhe Paake Adhoora Na Rahaa… Hmm…
I have lived only for you
I have given myself to you
Your love has soothed me
It has removed all the pain from my heart
My fate has been bound with you
After having gained you, I’m no longer incomplete…
Kyun ki Tum Hi Ho… Ab Tum Hi Ho
Zindagi… Ab Tum Hi Ho…
Chein Bhi… Mera Dard Bhi…
Meri Aashiqui… Ab Tum Hi Ho.
Because it’s you… now it’s only you…
My life is now you…
My relief… and my hurt…
The love of my life is only you…
Ik Baar Bhajan Karle (Prayer)
lk baar bhajan karle, mukti kaa yatan karle
Chhut jaayenge janma maran, prabhu kaa smaran karle
O man, pray with all your heart, and so make an effort to have Mukti, and attain final liberation from pain. In so doing, you will cease being caught up in the wheel of birth and death. For this O man, you need to focus on God.
Ye maanush kaa cholaa, har baar nahee miltaa
Jo jir gayaa daalee se, wo phool nahee khiltaa
Mowkaa hai ye jeevan kaa, gulzaar chaman karle
This human body is not attainable every time you are born. In this life that you have it, do not lose the opportunity to be free once and for all. Remember, a flower once broken off from its limb do not blossoms again. This is an opportunity to make the garden of your life beautiful.
Is mailee chaadar me, hai daag lage kitne
Par jyaan ke saabun me, hai jhaag bhare itne
Dhul jaayegee sab syaahee, ujlaa tan man karle
At one time your mind was clean like a white shawl, but now it is filled with stains of the wrong actions which you have done. But the soap of knowledge can wash away all stains that you have accumulated. Take this opportunity to purify your mind and body.
Jo rishiyo ne gaayaa hai, mai bhee hoo us dhun me
Us dhun ko sun sun kar, premee too bhee gaale
Prabhu ke aage ab too neechee gardan karle
Today I am singing, the song the Rishis had chanted since time immemorial. Listen to this chant, my friends and sing along with me. This is the time for you to bow your head in acknowledgement of the power and presence of God. Recognize His presence and obey His laws.
Jis nar me aatma shakti hai (Prayer)
Jis nar me aatma shakti hai, wah sheesh jhukaanaa kyaa jaane
Jis dil me eeshwar bhakti hai, wah paap kamaanaa kyaa jaane
The person who understand the power he holds within, who understands the power of the divine within himself never bows to injustice around him. He whose heart is filled with love for God is never engaged in works for the wages of sin.
Man mandir me bhagawaan basaa, jo uskee poojaa kartaa hai
Mandir ke devataa par jaakar, wah phool charhaana kyaa jaane
He who has identified his God within and worships God in his inner temple never looks for God outside of himself.
Maa baap kee sewaa kartaa hai, unke dukho ko hartaa hai
Wah Mathuraa Kaashee Haridwaar, Brindaaban jaanaa kyaa jaane
He who faithfully serves his parents while they are living and does what he can to remove their pains, never sees the need to visit places of pilgrimage.
Do kaal kare sandhyaa wa hawan, nit satsang me jo jaataa hai
Bhagawaan kaa hai vishwaas jise, dukh me ghabraanaa kyaa jaane
He who meditates on God morning and evening, and who keeps the presence of the virtuous, and who unceasingly believes in the truth of Divine
existence, never trembles when faced with challenges of his life.
Jo khelaa hai talwaaroo se, owr agni ke angaaro me
Ran-bhoomi me jaakar peechhe, wah kadam hataanaa kyaa jaane
He who has played with edges of swords, and with sparks of fire, (i.e. he
who has faced challenges), and never steps back in the battlefield of life
always faces life with the highest sense of determination.
Ye Raakhee Bandhan Hai Aisaa
Ye raakhi bandhan hai aisa -3
Jaise chanda aur kiran ka
Jaisa badari aur pavan ka
Jaise dharati aur gagan kaa -2
Ye raakhi bandhan hai aisa -3
This Raakhi, this bond, this relationship between brother and sister resembles the relationship between moon and ray, between cloud and wind, and between Earth and Sky. This relationship is intimately inseparable.
Duniya ki jitani bahanen hain
Un sabaki shraddha hai isin
Hai dharam karam bhaiya ka ye
Bahana ki raksha isme hai
Jaise subhadra aur kishan ka
Jaise badari aur pavan ka
Jaise dharati aur gagan ka
Ye raakhi bandhan …
The protection that every sister in this world craves for is inherent in this relationship. A brother’s duty and action, and the protection he gives to his sister are all in this relationship. This is the same relationship that exists between
Randhaa and Krishna.
Chhotee behen choom ke maathaa,
Bolee bhaiyyaa mujhe du-aa de
Saat janam kee umra meree,
Tujhko Bhagwaan lagaa de
Pyaar amar hai bhaai behen kaa
A younger sister kisses her brother’s forehead, and asks for his blessings. “0 brother! May God add the years of seven lives of mine to your life. May the love between all brothers and sisters be eternal,” she prays.
Aaj khushi ke din bhaai ke
Bhar-bhar aaye naina -2
Hoo.ss kadar bahan ki unse poochho
Jinaki nahi hai bahana
Mol nahi koi is bandhan ka
Jaise badari aur pavan ka
Jaise dharati aur gagan ka
Ye raakhi bandhan hai aisa -3
Today is a day of joy. The brother’s eyes fill up with tears when he focusses on his sister. Find out the value of a sister from those young men who have no sister. No other relationship matches this brother-sister relationship.
