(9) SAARANGA TERI YAAD MEIN………..SAARANGA 1961

(saaranga teri yaad mein)2 nain hue bechain)2
Your memories are making my eyes restless
madhur tumhare milan bina
without our sweet meetings
din katate nahi rain, hoo..
the days and nights seems endless,

saaranga teri yaad mein …
in your memory

(vo ambuva ka jhoolana, vo pipal ki chhaanv)2
that swing on the mango tree, that deep shade of the pipal tree
ghoonghat mein jab chaand tha, mehandi lagi thi paanv
when the moon was hidden by the veil, the feet were decorated with henna
(aaj ujadke rah gaya)2
today it is rendered desolate
vo sapanon ka gaanv, ho …
that hamlet of dreams

saaranga teri yaad mein nain hue bechain
Your memories are making my eyes restless
madhur tumhare milan bina
without our sweet meetings
din katate nahi rain, hoo..
the days and nights seems endless,

saaranga teri yaad mein …
in your memory

(sang tumhaare do ghadi, biit gaye jo pal)2
In our company so brief, gone are those moments
jal bharke mere nain mein, aaj hue ojhal
where my eyes were brimming with tears, today they are hidden
(sukh leke duhkh de gayi)2
peaceful no longer but giving only sorrows
do akhiyan chanchal, ho …
two mischievous eyes

saaranga teri yaad mein nain hue bechain
Your memories are making my eyes restless
madhur tumhare milan bina
without our sweet meetings
din katate nahi rain, hoo..
the days and nights seems endless,

saaranga teri yaad mein …
in your memory

(8) MANGA THA PYAR MAGAR…….RAMU TU DIWANA HAI 2001

meri duniyaa ko lutaane waale,
you who robbed me of my world
meri hasti ko mitane waale,
you who destroyed my existance
tere darpe kabhi insaaf bhi hoga
will there ever be justice too from you
is be aaraam duniyaa mein
in this restless world
kehien aaraam bhi hoga
will there ever be comfort?

Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love
pyar ke badle mein gam sau baar mila
instead of love I got grief, a hundred times
Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love

(mere haalaat koyee na jaane
no one knows my situation
dil ke jasbaath koyee na jaane)2
feelings of my heart, no one knows
jo sahaare they tanhaayiyon ke
the ones that sustained me in lonliness
woh khayaalaat koyi na jaane
those of my thoughts no one knows

Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love
pyar ke badle mein gam sau baar mila
instead of love I got grief, a hundred times
Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love

(mit gaye mere sapnon ke saaye
gone are the shadows of my dreams
huvey apne aaj paraaye)2
those who were mine today belong to others
ab wapass mujhe bulaale
recall me now back to you (addressing God)
mere haalaat pe hans ne waale
you who is laughing on my situation

Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love
pyar ke badle mein gam sau baar mila
instead of love I got grief, a hundred times
Manga tha pyar magar mujh ko na pyar mila
I asked for love but I got no love

(7) CHAND KI DEEWAR NA TODI……….VISHWAS 1969

chand kii deewaar na todii, pyaar bharaa dil tod diyaa
wall of silver wasn't pulled down, but it broke a heart full of love
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
the daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor

chandi ki …
wall of silver..

kal tak jisane qasamein khaein, dukh mein sath nibhane ki
till yesterday the one who vowed to stay true in adversity
Aj vo apane sukh ki khatir, ho gai ik begane ki
today for the sake of her comforts, she gave herself to another
shahanaiyon ki gunj mein dabake, rah gai Ah divane ki
the echos of clairenets suppressed the sound of love crazed sighing
dhanavanon ne divane ka, Gam se rishta jod diya
the rich linked the love crazed with grief
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
the daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor

chandi ki …
wall of silver..

ye kya samajhe pyar ko jinaka, sab kuchh chandi sona hai
will they consider love instead of those who care for gold and silver
dhanavanon ki is duniya mein, dil to ek khilauna hai
in this world of the rich the heart is just a plaything
sadiyon se dil tutata aya, dil ka bas ye rona hai
from centuries the heart keeps getting broken, such is the tragedy
jab tak chaha dil se khela, aur jab chaha tod diya
toyed with the heart as long as it pleased and broke it on a whim
ik dhanavan ki beti ne, nirdhan ka daman tod diyaa
the daughter of a wealthy man abandoned one who was poor

chandi ki …
wall of silver..

(6) ZIKR HOTA…………MY LOVE 1970

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa. tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qayamat the conversation turns to your beauty
tu jo chaahe to din nikaltaa hai tu jo chaahe to raat hothee hai
if you desire it, the day dawns, if you want it, the night descends

tujhko dekhaa hai meree nazaron ne, teree taareef ho magar kaise
my eyes have gazed on you, but it is so difficult to praise you
ke bane ye nazar zubaan kaise, ke bane ye zubaan nazar kaise
for how can my gaze be my tongue, and how can my tongue gaze up to you
naa zubaan ko dikhaayi detaa hai, naa nigaahon se baat hothee hai
the tongue can not see anything, and the gaze can not articulate

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qyamat the conversation turns to your beauty

tu nigaahon se naa pilaaye to, ashq bhi peene vaale peete hain
if you do not offer drink from your eyes, the drinkers drink their tears too
vaise jeene ko to tere bin bhi, is zamaane mein log jeete hain
without you many in this world live a kind of a life
zindagii to usee ko kahate hain jo guzar tere saath hothee hai
but life is only that which is spent in your companionship

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qyamat the conversation turns to your beauty
tu jo chaahe to din nikaltaa hai tu jo chaahe to raat hothee hai
if you desire it, the day dawns, if you want it, the night descends

next stanza is missing in some audio files, as is this

tu chalee aaye muskuraatee huyi to bikhar jaaye har taraf kaliyaan
when you come, smiling, you strew flowerbuds all around
tu chalee jaaye ut ke pahaloo se to ujad jaaye.n phoolon ki galiyaan
and when you rise and leave my side the flower pathways are desolate
jis taraf hotee hai nazar teree us taraf qaayanaat hothee hai
the direction you turn your gaze to is where happens the upheaval

zikr hotaa hai jab qayaamat kaa, tere jalavon ki baat hothee hai
When the topic is qayamat the conversation turns to your beauty

In urdu the word qayamat means the judgement day, it is also used to describe upheavals in the extreme.
It also alludes to the last word or the ultimate in anything, nice or not so nice. Here the word talks about the ultimate beauty in its first occurance

hmm hhmm hmmm hhmm

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil
the world is very cruel
Chandani ai ghar jalane
the moonlight is here to burn my home
Sujhe na koi manzil
I perceive no destination

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart

Ban ke tute yahaan, Arazu ke mahal
collapsed when built here, the castles of desires
Ye zamein, Asamaan, bhi ga e hain badal
changed is this earth, this sky
(Kahati hai zindagi, is jahaan se nikal)2
life tells me, lets leave this world

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil
the world is very cruel
Chandani ai ghar jalane
the moonlight is here to burn my home
Sujhe na koi manzil
I perceive no destination

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart

Haaye is par to, Aansuon ki dagar
woe, this side is the pathway of tears
Jane us paar kya, ho kise ye khabar
what is on the other side, who knows
(Thokarein, kha rahi, har kadam par nazar )2
stumbling here on each step, each glance

Jaoon kahaan bataa ai dil
Where can I go? tell me Oh heart
Duniya bari hai sangadil
the world is very cruel
Chandani ai ghar jalane

(Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai)2
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
(Ke Jaise Tujhako Banaayaa Gayaa Hai Mere Liye)2
that perhaps you have been created for me
(Tuu Abse Pahale Sitaaron Mein Bas Rahii Thii Kahiin)2
that before this, in stars you dwelt somewhere
(Tujhe Zameen Pe Bulaayaa Gayaa Hai Mere Liye)2
that you have been called to earth for me

Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
(Ke Ye Badan Ye Nigaaheen Merii Amaanat Hain)2
that the body, the gaze, is held in trust for me
Ye Gesuon Kii Ghanii Chhaaon Hain Merii Kaatir
that the deep shade under the long tresses is for me
(Ye Honth Aur Ye Baahein Merii Amaanat Hain)2
those lips, and those arms are in trust for me

Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
(Ke Jaise Bajatii Hain Shahanaaiyaan Sii Raahoon Mein)
that it seems as if clarinets are playing all around
(Suhaag Raat Hai Ghuunghat Uthaa Rahaa Huun Main)2
that it is the wedding night, and I am lifting your veil
(Simat Rahii Hai Tuu Sharamaa Ke Apnii Baahon Mein)2
and you are shyly surrendering yourself in my arms

Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai
Sometimes, in my heart, comes this thought
Ke Jaise Tuu Mujhe Chaahegii Umra Bhar Yuunhii
that you will love me all your life, like this
Uthegii Merii Taraf Pyaar Kii Nazar Yuunhii
you will gaze at me with a gaze of love, like this
(Main Jaanataa Huun Ke Tuu Gair Hai Magar Yuunhii)2
I know you are not for me, but just like this
Kabhii Kabhii Mere Dil Mein, Kayaal Aataa Hai

(3) KAHIN DOOR JAB DIN DHAL JAYE………ANAND 1970

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.
Mere Khayaalon Ke Aangan Mein Koi Sapnon (Ke Deep Jalaaye)2
in the courtyard of my thought, to light lamps of dreams.

Kabhi Yun Hi Jab Hooin Bojhal Saansen
At times when my breathing became heavy,for no reason at all,
Bhar Aai Baithe Baithe Jab Yun Hi Aankhen
At times when my eyes would fill with tears,for no reason at all,
Kabhi Machal Ke Pyar Se Chal Ke Chhuye Koi Mujhe Par (Nazar Na Aaye)2
someone walks up to me with love, touches my heart but i cannot see her

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.

Kahin To Yeh Dil Kabhi Mil Nahin Paate
In some cases,hearts in love never meet.
Kahin Pe Nikal Aaye Janmon Ke Naate
and in other cases,old relations awaken to life.
Thami Thi Uljhan Bairi Apna Man, Apna Hi Hoke Sahe (Dard Paraaye)2
My troubles had halted but my silly heart bears the pain of others.

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.

Dil jaane, mere saare, bhed ye gahare
Ho gae kaise mere, sapane sunahare
Ye mere sapane, yahii to hai.n apane
Mujhase judaa na ho.nge inake ye saaye, inake ye saaye

Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaye
Somewhere far away,when the day ends
Sanjh Ki Dulhan Badan Churaye,Chupke Se Aaye
the bride of the dusk awakens to life and comes silently.

najaron ko hum bichhayenge)2
you will bestow your gaze

chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,
wherever you are
chaahenge tum ko umr bhar
I will love you forever

mere kadam jahaan pade,
wherever my feet left prints
sajade kiye the yaar ne
my friend bowed and kissed the that ground
mere kadam jahaan pade,
wherever my feet left prints
sajade kiye the yaar ne
my friend bowed and kissed the that ground
mujhko rulaa rulaa diyaa,
oh how many tears I have shed
jaatee huyee bahaar ne
over the last days of spring

Jaane kahaan gaye woh din
where did those days go
kehte the teri raah meein

chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,

apni nazar mein aaj kal
in my eyes, nowadays
din bhi andheri raat hai
even the days are as dark as the night
apni nazar mein aaj kal
in my eyes, nowadays
din bhi andheri raat hai
even the days are as dark as the night
saayaa hi apane saath thaa,
shadows were my only comapnions then
saayaa hi apane saath hai
shadows are my only companions now.

Jaane kahaan gaye woh din
where did those days go
kehte the teri raah meein
when you said that in my path
najaron ko hum bichhayenge
you will bestow your gaze

chaahe kahin bhi tum raho,

Hi SF

A happy New Year to You and Yours:

You are very kind in your expression especially on the Songs that Rafisaab did during his lifetime,

Thanks once again, it has been my pleasure doing what I did, and it is never to much work to make

another Rafi fan happy.

There is a favor that I would like to ask, I do not know if you can channel it to someone in this forum

who would like to help, It is in the works and I am sure that it will benefit so many thousands of Rafi

fans worldwide.

I am planning on doing 100 more of Mohd Rafi Songs with write ups and all info that can be had in

reference to the songs, I am looking for someone who can handle the English translations part.

Know of anyone on the forum who can help?

Rafi/Lata/Chorus
ramayyaa wataawayyaa, ramayyaa wataawayyaa
maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart

Rafi:
naino mein thee pyaar kee roshanee
in the eyes was the glow of love
(teree aankhon mein ye duniyaadaaree na thee )2
in your eyes this worldliness was not there

Lata:
too aaur thaa, teraa dil aaur thaa
you were different, your heart was different
(tere man mein ye meethhee kataaree na thee)2
your heart did not have this sweet dagger

Rafi
mai jo dukh paaoon to kyaa
If I get grief, what of it
aaj pachhataaoon to kyaa
If I regret today, what of it

Chorus:
maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart
ramayyaa wataawayyaa, ramayyaa wataawayyaa

Rafi:
us des me, tere parades me
In that place, away from your country
(sone chaandee ke badale mein bikate hain dil)2
gold and silver buys hearts for sale

Lata:
is gaanw mein dard kee chhaanw me
in this village, under the shadow of pain
(pyaar ke naam par hee dhadakate hain dil)2
the hearts beat in the name of love alone
(chaand taaron ke tale raat ye gaatee chale )2
under the moon and stars, the night sings along
(maine dil tujh ko diyaa)2
I have given you my heart

Chorus:
maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart
ramayyaa wataawayyaa, ramayyaa wataawayyaa

Mukesh:
rasta wohee aur musafir wohee
The path is the same, travelers same
(ek tara na janey kahan chup gaya )2
a star, who knows where it got hid
duniya wohee dunyawaley wohee
the world is the same, people the same
(koi kya janey kis ka jahan lut gaya)2
no one knows someone's whole world was robbed
(meri aankoo mein rahey kaun jo mujh se kahey)
who will dwell in my eyes who will say to me
maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart

Chorus:
maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart
ramayyaa wataawayyaa, ramayyaa wataawayyaa

yaad aatee rahee, dil dukhaatee rahee
I kept remembering you, my heart kept aching
apane man ko manaanaa, naa aayaa hume
I never did learn how to soothe my heart
too naa aaye to kyaa, bhool jaaye to kyaa
If you don’t come, what of it, if you forget me, what of it
pyaar kar ke bhoolaayaa naa aayaa hume
After falling in love, I never learnt how to forget
wahee se door se hee, too bhee ye kah de kabhee
From there, even from far, say this once
maine dil tujh ko diyaa
I have given you my heart

Hi Abdool, I've just seen this thread about the greatest Hindi playback singer that ever lived! I have grown up listening to Rafi songs & still consider him the best. No one can out do his fantastic voice. I'm so glad that you have started this thread and I really appreciate all the information and songs you have put up. Keep it up!

Hi shakera1, it is a pity that we have to come to an end of this thread, as our aim was to do 100 songs with translations and other bits and pieces of information on the legend; we hope that our effort has rekindled some nostalgic memories of Rafisaab and the many fans. Ever so often, we wonder why the sons of Rafi (numbering about four) did not take in their father's footsteps? It would have been desirably, to have that magical voice continues…………….I guess Rafisaab was God's Gift; like Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, and Mukesh Chand Mathur.

Enjoy the thread and the songs, and Shakera thanks for your feedback.
