I'll give this a try, but I have NO idea what that first line is supposed to mean.
I feel that sometimes I'm a bit dense when it comes to poetry. I have my interpretations and I analyze everything in my own way, but I do realize that I might be wrong sometimes. And I have trouble getting everything when it comes to ghazals, so I'll try and just translate the words instead of trying to give an analysis… I hope it helps though. 🙂 Deewaron se milkar rona achcha lagta hai
I like meeting/uniting with the walls and crying (Yeah, I have no idea.)
Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai
It seems like I am also going to go mad
Deewaron se milkar rona achcha lagta hai
Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai
Deewaron seDuniya bhar ki yaaden humse milne aati hain
An entire world's worth of memories comes to meet me
Duniya bhar ki yaaden humse milne aati hain
Shaam dhale is soone ghar mein mela lagta hai
When the night sets in this empty house, it seems like a carnival
Shaam dhale is soone ghar mein mela lagta hai
Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai
Deewaron seKitne dinon ke pyase honge yaaron socho to
Friends, imagine how many days thirsty they must be
Kitne dinon ke pyase honge yaaron socho to
Shabnam ka katra bhi jinko dariya lagta hai
to whom a dew drop seems like an ocean (That line actually sounded beautiful in Urdu, but I couldn't translate it any better. 🙁
Shabnam ka katra bhi jinko dariya lagta hai
Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai
Deewaron seKisko Qaiser pathar maroon kaun paraya hai
Who should I hit with stones, who is a stranger? (Sorry, I don't know what qaiser is)
Kisko Qaiser pathar maroon kaun paraya hai
Sheesh-mahal mein ek ek chehra apna lagta hai
In the palace of mirrors, every single face seems my own (as in family/friends – not as in my own face)
Sheesh-mahal mein ek ek chehra apna lagta hai
Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai
Deewaron se milkar rona achcha lagta hai
Hum bhi paagal ho jayenge, aisa lagta hai
Deewaron seI'll give it a try.
By the way, this song is based on two people who love
each other through letters. They have never met
each other, but fell in love by writing letters to each other. So keep that
in mind while reading the translation.Mere Mehboob
My beloved
Mere Is Dil Ne
This heart of mine
Raat Ko Din
From night to morning
Subha Ko Shaam Likha
From morning to evening, it (my heart) wrote (letters to you)
Itna Baichain Kar Diya Tumne
You have made me so restless (that)
Mane Ye Khat Tumhare Naam Likha
I have written this letter (addressed) to your name
Pehli Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai
I have loved for the very first time
Pehli Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai
Kuch Na Samajh Mein Aaye Main Kya Karoon
I don't understand anything, what should I do
Ishq Ne Meri Aisi Haalat Ki Hai
Love has brought me to this state (of mind)
Ishq Ne Meri Aisi Haalat Ki Hai
Kuch Na Samajh Mein Aaye Main Kya Karoon
(that) I don't understand anything, what should I do
Pehli Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai
Kuch Na Samajh Mein Aaye Main Kya Karoon
Ishq Ne Meri Aisi Haalat Ki Hai
Kuch Na Samajh Mein Aaye Main Kya Karoon
Pehli Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai
Kuch Na Samajh Mein Aaye Main Kya Karoon...
Mera Haal Bura Hai Lekin
I am in a bad state (of mind) but,
Tum Kaisi Ho Likhna
write how you are (in the letter)
Mera Chodo Jaan
Beloved (Jaan literally means life), forget about me
Apna Khayal Tum Rakhna
(just) take care of yourself (meaning don't worry about me,
take care of yourself)
Kore Kagaz Pe Maine
On a white paper, I
Saara Armaan Nikala
let out all of my wishes
Mere Is Dil Mein Jo Kuch Tha
Whatever was in this heart of mine,
Khat Mein Sabh Likh Dalaa
I wrote it all down in the letter
Hey Hey Hey Ho Ho Ho
Pehli Pehli Baar Shararat Ki Hai
I have done mischief for the first time
Pehli Pehli Baar Shararat Ki Hai
Kuch Na Samajh Mein Aaye Main Kya Karoon
Pehli Pehli Baar Mohabbat Ki Hai
Kuch Na Samajh Mein Aaye Main Kya Karoon...
Kash Mera Dil Bhi
I wish my heart, too
Kagaz Ka Tukda Hota
was a piece of paper
Raat Ko Teri Baahon Mein
At night, in your arms
Takiye Ke Neeche Sota
It would sleep under the pillow
Ho Keral Mein Garmi Hai
It is hot in Keral (I guess Keral is a place in India)
Nainital Se Sardi Bhejo
Send the cold (weather) from Nanital (again, a place in India)
Jo Raahat Paunchaaye
Something that will bring me peace
Aisa Kuch Bedardi Bhejo
Send me something cruel like that (I think bedardi would literally
mean without pain, but I think it means cruel overall.)
Bin Teri Yaadon Ke
Without your memories
Ek Pal Jeena Hai Mushkil
It is difficult to live even for a moment
Kaise Likh Doon Tujhko <br*MELTS* I AM IN LOVE WITH ATIF AND HIS VOICE! His voice has the power to make me cry… I've been wanting to translate his songs just because he sings them! So it'll be my pleasure to translate this. It's a beautiful song.
Kaise batayein
How should I tell (you)
Kyun tujhko chahe
Why I love you?
Yaara batha na paayein
Beloved, I am unable to tell (you)
Baatein dil o ki Dekho jo baki
Look, all of the remaining (unsaid) words of the heart
Aake tujhe samjhaein
(my) eyes will explain to you
Tu jaane na aaaa..
(But) you don't know… (I think what he's trying to say is that she still doesn't know he's trying to tell her he loves her through his eyes, since he can't express himself through words)
Tu jaane na
Tu jaane na aaaa..
Tu jaane naHmm milke bhi, hum na mile Tumse na jaane kyun,
(Even though) I met you, I don't know why I didn't meet you. (He's saying that even though they met, he wonders why they didn't become one.)
milo ke Hai phasle tumse na jaane kyun
I don't know why the distance between us is miles long
Anjaane, hai silsile Tum se na jaane kyun,
I don't know why the stories (that connect me to you) are strange
sapne hai Palko tale tum se na jaane kyunnnnnn…
I don't know why dreams are under my eyelashes because of you… (“under my eyelashes” means that the dreams are always there, waiting to burst out… at the thought of her, I guess.)
Kaise batayein
Kyun tujhko chahe
Yaara batha na paayein
(aaa…aaa…(indicine.com))
Baatein dil o ki
Dekho jo baki
Aake tujhe samjhaein
Tu jaane na aaaa..
Tu jaane na
Tu jaane na aaaa..
Tu jaane naAaaa aaaaa aaa
Nigahon mein dehko Meri jo hai bas gaya aa
Look, the person who is embedded in my eyes
Woh hai milta tumse hubahoo
she looks exactly like you
Ooohhooo..
Jaane teri aankhein thi, ya baatein thi vajah…
I wonder if it was your eyes, or if your conversations were the reason
Huwe tum jo dil ki aarzoo
That you became my heart's wish
Tum paas ho ke bhi
Even though you are near to me
Tum aas ho ke bhi
Even though you are my hope
Ehsaas ho ke bhi
Even though you are a feeling
Apne nahin
You aren't mine…
aise hai Hum ko gile Tumse na jaane kyun,
I don't know why I have complaints like these against you.milo ke Hai phasle tumse na jaane kyun ooonnn….
I don't know why the distance between us is miles long
Tu jaane na aaaa..
You don't know…
Tu jaane na
Tu jaane na aaaa..
Tu jaane naOoo jaane na jaane na jaane na
Aaaaaaa aaa… tu jaane na
Khayalon mein lakhon baatein, Yun toh keh gayaaaa..
I said a million things like this in my imagination
Bola kuch na tere saamne
(But) I didn't say anything in front o you
Oooo… huye na begaane bhi Tum hoke aur ke
Even though you became someone else's, you didn't become a stranger to me
Dekho tum na mere hi bane
(But) look, you didn't even become mine.
Aafsos hota hai, dil bhi yeh rotha hai
I feel regret, this heart also cries
Sapne sanjotha hai, pagla hua
It (my heart) weaves dreaIk bewafa ke jakhmo par, marham lagane hum gaye,
I went to put balm on an unfaithful person's wounds
Ik bewafa ke jakhmo par,marham lagane hum gaye,
Marham ki kasam,
I swear by the balm,
marham na laga,
The balm wasn't applied
marham ki jagah, mar hum gaye…..
In place of the balm, I died. (There is a pun here that you'll only get if you know the language. Marham (balm) starts with “Mar” which means die. So the lyricist divided “marham” into “mar” and “ham” which then means “I died” Yeah, you kind of have to know the language for it to make sense. It's kind of funny. hehe.
) ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna,
Go unfaithful one, I do not want to love
ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna,
tanha hi jee lenge hum jab hai tanha marna,
Since I have to die alone, I'm going to live alone. (I might as well live alone)
ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna,
ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna…..
Dil ne teri pooja ki dil ne tujhko rab mana,
My heart worshipped you, my heart thought of you as god.
Dil ki yeh nadani thi jo dillagi ko na jaana…
It was the innocence of this heart that it didn't understand love (One of the members of the forum, Madhu ji, actually explained to me the difference of dil chi lag and dillagi, but I forgot… sorry.)
na to majboori hai,
It is neither a compulsion
na to majboori hai koi,
na koi lachari hai,
Nor is it helplessness
na to majboori hai koi,
na koi lachari hai,
Bewafai teri Paidaishi,beemari hai…..
Being unfaithful is an illness since birth for you.
Dil ne teri pooja ki dil ne tujhko rab mana,
Dil ki yeh nadani thi jo dillagi ko na jaana…
jab chot lagi to yeh jaana
When I got wounded, I knew that
Jhootha tha har afsana….
every story was false…
ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna,
ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna…..
Na kisi ka ab aankhen dekhengi koi sapna,
Nobody's eyes will ever see a dream
na kisi harjai ko hum kahenge ab apna
Nor will I call some harjai my own (I googled the meaning of harjai and found “Stone hearted” and “someone that can't be trusted” I would go with the stone hearted translation)
Ye dekhna hai,
Now we have to see
Ye dekhna hai,
kahani kahan badalti hai,
Where the story changes
Ye dekhna haikahani kahan badalti hai,
abhi talak to wohi bewafai karta hai
So far he/she is being unfaithful
Na kisi ka ab aankhen dekhengi koi sapna,
na kisi harjai ko hum kahenge ab apna..
kya apna kya begaana,
What's mine and what isn't (Who is mine and who isn't)
sab ko humne pehchana,
I have recognized everyone (I know who is mine (who will stay faithful to me) and who is a stranger (who will betray me)
ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna,
ja bewafa ja humein pyar nahi karna,
tanha hi jee lenge hum jab hai tanha marna,

I love this song!
I'll try to translate, but It's not going to be too great because this song has a lot references to things the singers are reminiscing about, and so it sounds really weird in english. But it makes sense in urdu/hindi. Basically, this song is being sung by different soldiers who are receiving letters from their loved ones (mother/friends/wife/fiance). And they sing about how their wife or mother sends them letters and asks them when they will be coming home. Along with people, they also sing about how their village, or the streets in the village, also ask them when they will come home. Basically, they sing about all of the things they miss about home. Kind of like the Pilssbury commercial, “Home is calling.” lol Anyway, If something doesn't make sense, just ask and I'll try to explain it better if I can…

I knew shay meant everything, but I wasn't sure of the exact translation, so I googled it and found an interesting translation:
Shai – Its hindi word derived from Arabic Word – Shain , which means THING..(as in anything, everything..), in hindi it would be Cheez… (not cheese…LOL). Further Shaiyen (in arabic) mean Living thing, Anyway, Shai here means, PERSON.
Fasana – i dont know the origin but in Urdu and hindi its suppose to mean a Story, its a poetic way of describing the humdrum of life…. Zindagi ke fasane..
Coming to – Har Shai Phasana hai – That means Everyone is a story. It doesnt make much of a sense when you translate in english, but thats the way it is.
(Everyone has a story would be the best, but thats not the accurate translation…)sansaar ki har shay ka itana hi fasaana hai
Everything in life has but this much story
