Hello everyone

My father died recently. He was a big fan of Kavi Pradeep. I am listening to a CD he loved and I am looking to get the english translation to share with my siblings. The list of songs on the CD are

pinjre ke panchhi re tera dard na jane koi

Koi laakh kare chaturai

Toot gai hai mala moti bikhar gaye

Mukhda dekh le prani

kabhi dhoop to kabhi chhaon

Tere dwar khada Bhagwan

Doosron ka Dukhra door karne wale

Humne jag ki ajab tasveer dekhi

Any help with lyrics and translation would be great.I want to honour my father's memory by playing the songs at the funeral rites and subsequent prayers.

Thanks a million in advance

Hi Romanie, my condolences to you.
I've found lyrics for two songs. Hope somebody could help out with the translation.

Hindi Song Title: Pinjre Ke Panchhi Re Hindi Movie/Album Name: Naag Mani Singer(s): PRADEEP

pinjare ke panchhi re, tera dadr na jaane koe (2)

kaha na sake tu, apani kahani
teri bhi panchhee, kya zindagaani re
vidhi ne teri katha likhi aansu mein kalam duboe
tera dard …

chupake chupake, rone vaale
rakhana chhupaake, dil ke chhale re
ye patthar ka desh hain pagale, yahaan koi na tera hoy
tera dard …

Hindi Song Title: Mukhada Dekh Le Praani Zara Darapan Mein Hindi Movie/Album Name: Do Behnen Singer(s): PRADEEP

mukhada dekh le, dekh le

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein ho

dekh le kitana puny hai kitana paap tere jiwan mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein



kabhi to pal bhar soch le praani, kya hai teri karam kahaani - 2

pata laga le

pata laga le pade hain kitane daag tere daaman mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein



kud ko dhokha de mat bande, achchhe na hote kapat ke dhandhe - 2

sada na chalata

sada na chalata kisi ka naatak duniya ke aangan mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein ho

dekh le kitana puny hai kitana paap tere jiwan mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani

mukhada dekh le, dekh le

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein ho

dekh le kitana puny hai kitana paap tere jiwan mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein



kabhi to pal bhar soch le praani, kya hai teri karam kahaani - 2

pata laga le

pata laga le pade hain kitane daag tere daaman mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein



kud ko dhokha de mat bande, achchhe na hote kapat ke dhandhe - 2

sada na chalata

sada na chalata kisi ka naatak duniya ke aangan mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein ho

dekh le kitana puny hai kitana paap tere jiwan mein

dekh le darapan mein

mukhada dekh le praani

Thanks for the songs Nosriya.

Hindi Song Title: Pinjre Ke Panchhi Re
Hindi Movie/Album Name: Naag Mani
Singer(s): PRADEEP

pinjare ke panchhi re, tera dadr na jaane koe (2)

The bird in the cage, no one knows your pain

kaha na sake tu, apani kahani

You can not say, your story
teri bhi panchhee, kya zindagaani re

Yours also, oh bird, what kind of life you lead
vidhi ne teri katha likhi aansu mein kalam duboe

The Lord wrote your story by dipping the pen in tears
tera dard …

Your pain

chupake chupake, rone vaale

Silently silently, the crying one
rakhana chhupaake, dil ke chhale re

Keep hidden, the lie of the heart
ye patthar ka desh hain pagale, yahaan koi na tera hoy

This country is of stone, oh crazy one, there is no one of yours
tera dard …

Your pain

Hindi Song Title: Mukhada Dekh Le Praani Zara Darapan Mein



Hindi Movie/Album Name: Do Behnen



Singer(s): PRADEEP 

mukhada dekh le, dekh le

Look at the face, look

mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein ho

Look at the face, animal, in fear

dekh le kitana puny hai kitana paap tere jiwan mein</s

Hello

I am eternally grateful for your contribution. You have brought joy in my time of sorrow.

Madhuri:

Normally I don't bother reading over your translations but I actually find the poems Kavi Pradeep wrote to be really inspiring and that is the only reason I read through this one. Over all you seem to do a pretty good job of translating songs. However, in this case I think a couple of key corrections need to be made. Please don't take this the wrong way. His poems are always pretty soul searching and you really have to dig deep into the thought he is trying to portray. It is easy to miss his meaning if you miss a key word in the sentence. Please take a look and see if you agree with the following.

(1) mukhada dekh le praani zara darapan mein ho

Look at the face in the mirror (meaning look at yourself). The word praani does not mean animal. Praan means life so praani would be any living thing. Here the poet means you should look at yourself in the mirror.

(2) kabhi to pal bhar soch le praani, kya hai teri karam kahaani  

(Sometime you should spend a few minutes thinking about your actions and the results. Kahaani literally means story but that is not his intent here )  

(3) pata laga le pade hain kitane daag tere daaman mein

Find out how many stains there are on your clothes. In other words take a look at what you have done and how they have resulted in creating a mess.

(4) kud ko dhokha de mat bande, achchhe na hote kapat ke dhandhe – 2

Don't cheat yourself. The profession of conning others is not good.

(5) sada na chalata kisi ka naatak duniya ke aangan mein

one can not play act forever in the courtyard of life

Again, my intent is not to criticize you but I am just trying to make the poets thoughts come across. Please continue to provide translations to the others. As I said earlier you seem to have been doing a good job with it. Hope you take this in the spirit that it was intended. Take care!

Hi Madhu

Don't feel hesitant about making corrections. This will help people to understand the songs more. I tend not to spend much time on translating because of time constraints and also I translate the literal meanings of the words so others can make their own understanding of the songs.

Your help was very much appreciated.

Hello everyone

Thanks for your help.

I found the lyrics to Koi Lakh Kare Chaturai and I was wondering if anyone could help with the translation.

Koi Lakh kare chaturai karm ka lekh mite na re bhai

Karm ka lekh mite na re bhai

zara samjo iski sachai re karam ka lekh mite na re bhai

Is duniya me bhagye ke aage chalna kisi ka upaiye

kagad ho to sab koi banche karam na bancha jai

Ek din Isi kismat ke karan banko gaye the raghu rai re

karam ka lekh mite na re bhai

Kahe manva dhiraj khota kahe tu nahak roye

apna sooch kabhi nahi hota bhagya kare to hoi

chahe ho raja chahe bhikhari thokar sabhi ne yaha khai re

karam ka lekh mite na re bhai

Thanks

Every song written by Pradeep are having very deep meanings and which are close to reality. I have tried to provide you the translation as much I understands.

Koi Lakh kare chaturai karm ka lekh mite na re bhai

“It means however one tries to become clever or intelligent but he can't change the resutls of his (Karma)actions. I he has done soming wrong in his life but has hidden it from the rest of the world it doesn't means that he won't be punshied for his acts.”

Karm ka lekh mite na re bhai

“Law of Karma is universal and eqaul to all. Whatever we have done, can't be erased. We will get results according to our karma(actions). The past can't be changed. “

zara samjo iski sachai re karam ka lekh mite na re bhai

“You must understand this realty , that law of Karma can never be changed.”

Is duniya me bhagye ke aage chalna kisi ka upaiye

“No one can outrun or escape their destiny. Whatever is written in their destiny is going to happen. And Destiny is made by our Karma “

kagad ho to sab koi banche karam na bancha jai

“We can share everything but this Karma can't be shared. We can't be paid or punished for others Karma. Only the person himself is responsile for his life.”

Ek din Isi kismat ke karan banko gaye the raghu rai re

“Even due to this destiny Lord Rama have go in exile (Forest). Even God is bounded by this law of Karma.”

karam ka lekh mite na re bhai

“that law of Karma can never be changed”

kahe manva dhiraj khota kahe tu nahak roye

“Don't be depressed , don't weep”

apna sooch kabhi nahi hota bhagya kare to hoi

“Nothing is going to happen as per our wish. Whatever is destined is going to happen.”

chahe ho raja chahe bhikhari thokar sabhi ne yaha khai re

“Either you are King or a Begger , every one is falled due to his Karma. “

karam ka lekh mite na re bhai

“No one can change their destiny”

Thanks
