Achcha lagta hai (Aarakshan) Lyrics, Translation

Jhatak kar zulf jab tum tauliye se baarishein azaad karti ho
achcha lagta hai
Hila kar honth jab bhi haule haule guftagu ko saaz karti ho
achcha lagta hai

when you jerk your hair and free rains with the towel,
it feels good..
when u move ur lips slowly and talk musically,
it feels good..

Khushboo se behlao na, seedhe point pe aao na
Aankh mein aankhein daal ke keh do, khwaabon mein tehlao na
Zara short mein batlao na
Seedhe point pe aao na, seedhe point pe aao na

Don't fool me with talks, come straight to the point,
see me in the eye and say, don't walk around in dreams,
tell me in short,
come straight to the point..

Alag ehsaas hota hai, tumhare paas hone ka
Sarakti sarsarahat ki nadi mein reshmi lamhe bhigone ka
zara sa mod kar gardan jab apni hi adaa par naaz karti ko
achcha lagta hai

it's a different feeling to be near you,
of soaking silky moments in the moving river of rustle,
when you turn your neck a bit and feel proud of your own style,
it feels good..

lafzon se behlao na, Jhoothi-mooti behkao na
Haathon ko haathon mein le ke woh teen shabd tapkao na
Zara short mein, batlao na
Seedhe point pe aao na, haan seedhe point pe aao na

don't fool me with words, don't amuse me with lies,
take my hands in your hands and drop those three words
tell me in short,
come straight to the point..

Woh tere dhyaan ki khushboo, main sar tak odh leta hoon
Bhatakti saans ko teri gali mein gungunaane chhod deta hoon
tum apni khidkiyon ko khol kar jab bhi naye aaghaaz karti ho
achcha lagta hai

I put on that smell of your memory till my head,
I leave my wandering breath to hum on your street,
When you open the windows and do new beginnings (of the day, in the morning)
it feels good..

gali gali gali gali gali gali bhatkao na, ghadi ghadi uljhao na
Senti ho main jaan gayi hoon action bhi dikhlao na
Zara short mein batlao na
Seedhe point pe aao na, ho seedhe point pe aao na
Ho seedhe ho seedhe, ho seedhe point pe aao na

Don't wander (me/your breath, used for both the meanings here) in the streets,
don't keep confusing me,
I know you're emotional/sentimental, now show me some action too,
tell me in short,
come straight to the point.. come straight to the point...

Saans Albeli/ Kaun si Dor Lyrics, Meaning, Translation

saans albeli
saans albeli
saans albelee
saans albeli..

kaun si dor kheenche kaun si kaate re kaate re
saans albeli saans albeli..
saans albeli kahe kaahe mohe baante re

this strange breath, (I guess it means this strange life here)
this strange breath,
don't know which string it pulls and which one it cuts..
this strange breath..
why does this strange breath divide me...

man jangal mein aandhi halchal
patte bichhdan laage
leher leher utpaat nadi mein
hriday jwaar sa jaage
jeevan shor aaye aur jaaye
shashwat base sannate..

in the forest of heart there is a storm,
leaves are falling off..
in the river there is a commotion of waves
the heart wakes like a tide..
the noise of life comes and goes,
silences live eternally..

bade jatan se phasal lagayi
chun chun beej rachaye
bandh taktaki ki rakhwari
tab ankur muskaaye
bhagya chiraiyyan badi nithur hain,
kaun jo usko daante re..

with lot of hard work (I) planted the crop,
put in chosen seeds,
keeping a regular eye I guarded it,
then only seedling smiled,
(but) the fate birds are very ruthless,
who can scold them?

(meaning here is that you can do your best in life but still fate is very ruthless and can destroy everything you created with your hard work, and there is nobody who can stop or change that)

Roshani/ Roshanee (Aarakshan): Lyrics, Translation

Baras rahi hai roshanee

Deeware todke
Raahon ko modke
Nikli hai roshnee
Har bandhan chhod ke
Gholo gholo, yeh andhere haan
Bana do siyaahi aur likh do tum
Nayi subah

Light is raining..

Breaking the walls,
turning the roads,
light has come out..
leaving every bond,
stir stir, these darknesses,
make ink (of them) and write
a new morning..

Todo taale, suraj ko khol do
Sabki mutthi, roshan hai bol do
Todo kuein aur kar do tum nadi
Pee lo baanto hai sab ki roshanee
Roshanee ..
Hai yeh sabki roshanee, pighli hai yeh roshanee
Hai yeh sabki roshanee, pighli hai yeh roshanee

Break the locks, open the sun,
say that everyone's fist is shining,
break the wells and make a river (i.e. stop limiting things, resources)
drink and distribute, light belongs to everyone..
light is everyone's, the light has melted..

Sabke liye raste hon, aasha ke baste hon
Jin mein ujaale baste ho
Khaai see thi, mit mit gayi
Kaayi see thi, hat hat gayi
Ho sabka suraj sabka aasmaan
Ab yahaan

there should be roads for all, packages of hope for all,
in which light should be living,
there was a ditch, it's almost gone (i.e. everyone is equal)
there was moss, it's cleared..
now the sun and sky should belong to all..

Roshanee ki rally, dhoop phaili phaili
Rut yeh nayi hai naweli
Ab toh sab hain, is rail mein
Engine sabka is khel mein
Ho sabki manzil sabka carvaan
Ab yahan

A rally of light, sun is spread around,
this weather is all new,
now all are here in this train,
everyone has an engine in this game,
now all should have their destination and their caravan..

Aarakshan Trailer: Dialogs' Translation/ Meaning

Ye shining India hai, yahan oonchi shiksha ki liye oonche log koi bhi oonchi keemat dene ko tayar hain..

This is shining India. Higher people are ready to pay any high price for higher education here..

is loktantra mein sabko samaan adhikaar hai, hum merit mein vishwas rakhte hain, aarakshan mein nahi.

In this democracy, everyone has got equal rights, we believe in merit, not in reservations.

aap lagatar STM ke anushasan ko tod (rahe hain)...

you are continously breaking the discipline of STM (the college)..

sir bahar saara samaj ek aitihasik uthal puthal se koojh raha hai aur aap bas soch rahe hain anushasan!

Sir outside the entire society is dealing with a historical up-down and you're thinking of just discipline!

is tarah baat nahi karenge aap mujhse...

You'll not talk to me like that...

aapke vice principal, khulle aam kk coaching classes chalate hain, laakhon kamate hain, magar unko saat khoon maaf* hain, aakhir unki pehchan humse alag hai

Your Vice Principal openly runs KK Coaching Classes, earns lacs, but for him it's all allowed*.. after all his identity is different from ours.

kya aap mujh par jaativaad ka aarop laga rahe hain?

Are you accusing me of casteism?

tum samajhte kya ho apne aap ko? How dare you talk to my father like that?

What do you think of yourself?

saat dinon ke bheetar aap batayen ki aap ko suspend kyun na kiya jaaye. saat dinon ke bheetar, jawab chahiye mujhe.

You tell within seven days why you should not be suspended. Within seven days, I need the answer.

jawab to aapko pakka milega, Dr Prabhakar Anand sir.

You'll definitely get the answer, Dr Prabhakar Anand, Sir.

aapke liye aapke siddhant hi sab kuch hain, kabhi socha hai ki aapka parivaar kis tarah jee raha hai..

For you only your principles are eveything. Have you ever thought how your family is living?

sir aap bhi unhi logon ka sath de rahe hain, jo hamari life se khel rahe hain

Sir you too are supporting those people who are playing with our lives.

aap the zero, hain zero, aur aap hamesha rahenge, zero.

You were zero, are zero, and you will always remain, Zero.

agar aap aarakshan ke saath nahi hain, to aap iske khilaaf hain.

If you are not with reservation, you're against it.

hamare bachche din raat ragad-ragad ke padhte rahein, aur jab admission ka mauka aaye to khairat loot leejiye aap log. dar lagta hai na mehnat karne se.

Our children study day and night, and when it comes to admissions, you loot the charity. (you are) afraid of working hard.

achcha, humein mehnat ka paath padha rahe hain aap.. aapke khet jote humne, aapke faslein kaati humne, aapke maveshi charaye humne, aapke joote siye, bail haanke, naav chalaye, aapke gharon ki gandi naaliyon ki safai kiye, yahan tak ki aapki tatti bhi sar par dhoyi hai humne, humein mehnat sikhayenge aap!

well, you're teaching us the lesson of hardwork.. WE ploughed your fields, WE harvested your crops, WE grazed your cattle, sewed your shoes, drove (your) bullocks, sailed (your) boats, we cleaned the dirty drains of your homes, we have even carried your shit over our heads, you'll teach us hardwork!

is desh mein do bharat baste hain..

In this country, two Indias live..
