mujhe duniyaa waalo


Reality

Movie: Leader(1964)
Cast: Dilip Kumar,Madhumati
Singer: Mohd. Rafi
Lyricist: Shakeel Badayuni
Music Director: Naushad

mujhe duniyaa waalo, sharaabi na samajho
mai pitaa nahi hun, pilaayi gayi hai
yahaa bekhudi me kadam ladkhadaaye
vahi raah mujhko dikhaayi gayi hai

nashe me hun lekin mujhe ye khabar hai
ke is zindagi me sabhi pee rahe hai
kisi ko mile hai chhalakate piyaale
kisiko nazar se pilayi gayi hai
mujhe duniyaa waalo ...

kisiko nasha hai jahan mein khushi ka,
kisiko nasha hai gam-e-zindagi ka
koi pee raha lahu aadmi ka,
har ek dil me masti rachai gayi hai
mujhe duniyaa waalo ...

zamaane ke yaaro, chalan hai niraale
yahaa tan hai ujale, magar dil hai kaale
ye duniyaa hai duniyaa, yahan ma udhaar ke
dilo ki kharaabi chhupaayi gayi hai
mujhe duniyaa waalo ...

Maye Ni Maye, Main Ek Shikra Yaar Banaya

Sublime...


Singer: Jagjit Singh
Lyricist: Shiv Kumar Batalvi


Maye Ni Maye,
Main Ek Shikra Yaar Banaya,
(Mother o Mother
I have befriended a hawk(shikra))

Ude Siir De Kalgi,
Te Ude Paryi Jhanjar,
O Chog Chuginda Ayaa,
(With a plume on her head,
 and bells on her feet
she came pecking for grains)

Ek ohde Roop Dee Dhup Tikheri,
O Duja Mehka Da Tirhaya,
(One,her beauty , sharp as sunlight
two,her fragrance.as if she was dipped in perfume )

Teeja ohda Rang Gulabi,
O Kise Gori Maa Da Jaya,
(third,her color ,that of rose
she must be a child of a fair mother)

Ishqe Da Ek Palang Nawari,
Weh Asa Chananiya vich daya,
Tan Di Chadar Ho Gayi Maili,
Os Pair Ja Palgi Paya,
(I made a bed of love,
 and laid it in moonlight.
sheet of my body was strained
when she set her foot on it)

Dukhan mere Naina De Koye,
Te vich Harh Hanjua Da Ayaa,
Sari Raat Gayi vich Socha,
Us Aye Ki zulm Kamaya,
(corners of my eyes hurt
overwhelmed with tears
all night went thinking
what I did to deserve this)

Subha Savere Layni Vatna,
We Asa Mal Mal os Navaya,
Dehi De vich Niklan Chinga,
Ni Sada Haath Gaya Kumlaya,
(early morning, with vatna(paste to cleanse skin)
I scrubbed and bathed her.
Embers exuded from her body
and my hands got burnt)

Churi Kuta Ta O Khanda Nahi,
Weh Asa Dil Da Maas Khawaya,
Ek Udari Aisi Mari, -2
O Mud Vatni Na Aya,
O Maye Nee,
Main Ek Shikra Yaar Banaya…………
(I crushed the food for her,but she never ate
so I fed her with the flesh of my heart.
She took such  a flight
that she never came back
O Mother 
I have befriended a hawk...)

Mae ni mae mere geetan de..





Singer: Nusrat Fateh ali Khan
Lyricist: Shiv Kumar Batalvi

Mae Ni Mae
Mae Ni Mae Mere Geetan De Nenaan Wich Birhon Di Rarrak Paway
Addhi Addhi Raati, Uth Ron Moe Mitraan Noon,
Maae Sanoon Neend Na Paway
(Mother, o mother,
My songs are like eyes
That sting with the grains of separation.
In the middle of the night ,
They wake and weep for dead friends.
Mother, I cannot sleep)

Mae Ni Mae….
Bhain Bhain Sogandhia Wich Bana Phe chananee De, Ta We Sadi Peer Na Saway
Kosay Kosay Sahaan De Mein Karan Je Takoor Mae
Sagon Sanu Khan Nu Pawey
(Upon them I lay strips of moonlight
Soaked in perfume,
But the pain does not recede.
I foment them
With warm sighs,
Yet they turn on me ferociously.)

Mae Ni Mae….
Ape Ne Mein Balaree Ha, Haley Apee Mata Jogi
Mat Kera Ais No Dawey,Akh Sun Maye Nu Roye Bul Chit Tene
Jag Kithey Sun Na Lawey
(I am still young,
And need guidance myself.
Who can advise him?
Mother, would you tell him,
To clench his lips when he weeps,
Or the world will hear him cry.)

Mae Ni Mae….
Aakh Suni Kha Laye Tuk Hijran Da Pakhya, Lekhaan De Ne Puthre Tawey
Chat Le Tarel Nu We, Ghuma De Ghulab To Ee
Kalje No Hosla Rahwey
(Tell him, mother, to swallow the bread
Of separation.
He is fated to mourn.
Tell him to lick the salty dew
On the roses of sorrow,
And stay strong.)

Mae Ni Mae….
Keriya Saperioyn Tu Manga Kunj Mael Di Mein, Mael Di Koi Kunj Dawey
Kera Ane Ghuman Diyen Rogian De Daran Utey,
Wang Khara Jogian Rahwey
(Who are the snake handlers
From whom I can get another skin?
Give me a cover for myself.
How can I wait like a jogi
At the doorstep of these people
Greedy for gold?)

Mae Ni Mae….
Peeray Ni Peeray , Pyaar Aise Titlee Hai Jeri Sada Suul Te Bawey
Pyaar Aisa Bohr Ha Ni, Jideh Kolon Ashna Wee
Lakhan Kohan Duur He Rawey
(Listen, o my pain,
Love is that butterfly
Which is pinned forever to a stake.
Love is that bee,
From whom desire,
Stays miles away.)

Mae Ni Mae….
Pyaar Woh Mehal Hai Ni, Jide Wich Pankhuan De Baaj Kuj Hor Na Rawey
Pyaar Aisa Aangna Hai Jide Wich Waslaan Da
Raatra Na Palang Dawey
(Love is that palace
Where nothing lives
Except for the birds.
Love is that hearth
Where the colored bed of fulfillment,
Is never laid.)

Mae Ni Mae….
Aakh Mae Adhi Adhi Raati Moe Mitraan De Uchi Uchi Naam Na Lawey
Mate Sadey Moeyan Peechun Jag Eeh Shareekra Na
Getaan No Wi Chandra Kahwey
(Mother, tell him not to
Call out the name of his dead friends
So loudly in the middle of the night.
When I am gone, I fear
That this malicious world,
Will say that my songs were evil.)

Mae Ni Mae….
Mae Ni Mae Mere Geetan De Nenaan Wich Birhon Di Darrak Paway
Addhi Addhi Raati Uth, Roon Moe Mitraan Noon,
Mae Sanu Neend Na Pawey
(Mother, o mother
My songs are like eyes
That sting with the grains of separation.
In the middle of the night ,
They wake and weep for dead friends.
Mother, I cannot sleep)

Mae Ni Mae…
(Mother, o mother)
