Song Lyric: Jeete Hain Chal
Music : Vishal Khurana
Lyrics :  Prasoon Joshi
Singers : Kavita Seth
Movie Titles/Music Album : Neerja
Movies Ratings IMDB: 8.3/10Music Label: T-Series

kehta ye pal
khud se nikal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal

this moment says
get out of yourself
come, let’s live.
come, let’s live..

gham musaafir tha jaane de
dhoop aangan mein aane de
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal

sorrow was a traveller, let it go,
let the sunshine be there in the courtyard.
come, let’s live.

talvon ke neeche hai Thandi si ek dharti
kehti hai aaja dauDenge
yaadon ke bakson mein zinda si khushboo hai
kehti hai sab peechhe chhoDenge
ungliyon se kal ki ret behne de
aaj aur abhi mein khud ko rehne de

under the feet there is a cold earth,
it says come we’ll run,
in the boxes of memories there is a waking fragrance
which says that we’ll everyone behind..
let the sand of yesterday flow from the fingers.
let yourself be there in today, in this moment..

kehta ye pal
khud se nikal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal

ek tukDa haseen chakh le
ik Dali zindagi rakh le
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal..

taste a beautiful piece
keep a sweet piece of life (in your mouth)..
come, let’s live.

hichki ruk jaane de
siski tham jaane de
is pal ki ye guzaarish hai
marna kyun jee lena
boondon ko pee lena

let the hiccups stop,
let the sobs pause,
it’s the request of this moment,
why should we die, why not live..
drink the drops (of tears)..

tere hi sapno ki baarish hai
paaniyon ko raste tu banane de
roshni ke peechhe khud ko jaane de
kehta ye pal
khud se nikal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal
jeete hain chal

it’s the rain of your dreams only,
let waters make the paths..
let yourself follow the lights,
this moment says
come out of yourself,
come, let’s live.
come. let’s live.

om trayambakam yajaamahe
ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे
sugandhim pushTi vardhanam

सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

[This is the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, to worship Lord Shiva, especially in times of difficulty.]

Om. we worship the Three-Eyed One (Lord Shiva), who is fragrant and who nourishes all. May He sever our bondage of worldly life, like a cucumber (severed from the bondage of its creeper), and thus Liberate us from the Fear of Death, by making us realize our immortality.

Mera Desh: Lyrics Translation [Prasoon Joshi, Amitabh Bachchan, SEL]



Here is the translation of Prasoon Joshi's poem, Mera Desh ro raha hai. Here, he has questioned our attitude of moving on, and asked if we move on because we really have so much strength, or do we just avoid our problems and hence say we have moved on. The poem is deep, thought-provoking, and at the same time positive and inspiring too. Hope you like it.

Dekho zaraa theher ke
mera desh ro rahaa hai
Ghayal hai man kaa konaa
mera desh ro raha hai
mera desh.. mera desh..

Just pause and see,
My country is crying,
A corner of heart is wounded,
My country is crying,
My country, my country..

Parvat sa oonchaa maatha
par chot ke nishaan hain
nadiyon ke geet chup hain,
khaamosh har zubaan hai
har aankh poochhti hai
kya mera rona dekha
har chehra poochhta hai
kya mera kona dekha

Head high like a mountain,
but there are signs of injury,
the songs of rivers are silent,
every tongue is silent,
every eye asks,
have you seen me crying..
every face asks,
have you seen my corner?

zara badh ke haath thaamo
Vishwas kho raha hai
dekho zara theher ke,
mera desh ro raha hai..

move ahead and hold hands,
the trust is dying..
Just pause and see,
My country is crying..

har dil yoon chhalakta hai
nainitaal ho gaya
dekho to kitna zakhm
garhwal ho gaya hai
mere desh ka ek hissa,
bade dard mein hai yaaron,
hamein fikr hai to aisa,
kyun haal ho gaya hai

every heart brims,
as if it's Nainitaal
[Nainital is a famous hill station in Uttarakhand, with a beautiful, huge lake, Naini there, and is hence called Nainitaal.]
See how much a wound
Garhwal has become..
A part of my country
is in a lot of pain, friends.
We are worried,
why situation has become like that..

Kyun koi yoon akele
palkein bhigo raha hai
dekho zara theher ke,
mera desh ro raha hai..

Why is someone there
with wet eyes, all alone,
Just pause and see,
my country is crying..

bada naaz is pe humko
rukte kabhi nahi hum,
vipada badi ho kitni,
jhukte kabhi nahin hum,
hum mein hai shakti ya phir
parwaah hi nahi hai
khud mein magan hain itne,
thamte kabhi nahi hum..

We are proud of it,
that we never stop..
however big the problem,
we never bow down..
Is there strength within us,
or we just don't care?
Are we so lost in ourselves,
that we never stop?

jazba ye zindagi ka
sawaal ho raha hai
dekho zara theher ke
mera desh ro raha hai..
mera desh mera desh mera desh..

This attitude of life,
has become a question,
Just pause and see,
my country is crying..
my country, my country..

santaan soorya ki hum,
deepak to naam ke hain
jal padein jo sang sang
phir kitne kaam ke hain..
taandav na raat ka ho
hum jyoti rath hain laaye
ab roshni ugegi,
hum le shapath hain aaye

We're the children of the sun,
it's just that we're called lamps!
If we burn all together,
then we're so very useful..
So that there is no angry dance of night,
we have brought chariot of light.
now light will grow,
We have taken an oath..

jo dard desh ko hai
hum sab ko ho raha hai
dekho zara theher ke
mera desh ro raha hai
mera desh ro raha hai

The pain that the country is bearing
everyone is bearing it
Just pause and see,
my country is crying..
my country is crying..

Mera Desh Ro Raha Hai Lyrics [Amitabh, Prasoon, SEL]



This poem was written by Prasoon Joshi for the Uttarakhand support program run on TV by Star group. Here he talks about our 'moving on' attitude, and asks whether we're actually giving enough strength to the downtrodden or just saying move on to avoid them.

The poem was recited by Amitabh Bachchan and simultaneously sung in parts by Shankar Mahadevan with Ehsaan and Loy.

For the translation of the entire poem, you can check THIS POST.

Dekho zaraa theher ke

jo dard desh ko hai
hum sab ko ho raha hai
dekho zara theher ke
mera desh ro raha hai
mera desh ro raha hai

Beh Gaye: Poem for Uttarakhand Relief [Amitabh Bachchan, Prasoon Joshi]



This is the poem written by Prasoon Joshi appealing to help the flood victims of Uttarankhand and do our best for them. Recited by Amitabh Bachchan, the poem describes the deep sadness of the situation, at the same time reminding us of our common force and tells us that we can help those in distress and rebuild the state.

Do listen to it, and help as much as you can, the way you can. Thanks.

The poem in Devnagari and Roman is here, along with English Translation.



बह गया वो घर
बह गयीं घर में रखी तसवीरें
तस्वीरों में मुस्कुराते चेहरे बह गए
परिवार बह गए, सैकड़ों, हज़ारों

बह गयी वो प्रार्थना
श्रद्धा में झुके शीश बह गए
सुना है एक माँ का जब एक बच्चा बहा
माँ देख उसे कूद पड़ी नदिया में..

बह गयीं लोरियां
बच्चों की किलकारियां
पिता बह गए, सैकड़ों, हज़ारों

बहे करोड़ों आंसू हिन्दुस्तान के
करोड़ों आंसू है,
लेकिन करोड़ों हम भी हैं
चलो पूछें इन्हें

दोस्त बनें, बच्चे बनें किसी के
माँ बनें, पिता बनें
परिवार बनें किसी के
सूरज उगायें, उम्मीद जगाएं
चलो, एक सुबह बनाएं किसी की..

bah gaya wo ghar
bah gayiN ghar mein rakhi tasveerein
tasveeroN mein muskuraate chehre beh gaye
parivaar beh gaye, saikdoN, hazaaroN

beh gayi wo praarthana
shraddhaa mein jhuke sheesh beh gaye,
suna hai ek maa ka jab ek bachcha baha
maa dekh use kood padi nadiya mein

beh gayiN loriyaan,
bachchon ki kilkaariyaaN
pitaa beh gaye, saikdoN, hazaaroN

bahe karoDoN aansoo Hindustan ke,
karoDoN aansoo hain,
lekin karoDoN hum bhi hain..
chalo poochhein inhein,

Dost banein, bachche banein kisi ke
maa banein, pitaa banein
parivaar banein kisi ke
sooraj ugaayein, ummeed jagaayein
chalo, ek subah banaayein kisi ki

That house was swept away,
The pictures kept in the house were swept too,
The faces, smiling in the pictures, were swept away,
families flowed away, hundreds, thousands..

That prayer was swept away,
the heads bowed down in reverence were swept away,
It was heard, that when a mother's child flowed,
she jumped into the river, seeing her..

lullabies were swept,
squeals of childrens were swept..
fathers were swept away, hundreds, thousands..

Millions of India's tears flowed away
The tears are in millions,
but we are in millions too..
Come, let's care for them..

Be a friend, a child to someone..
Be a mother, a father,
Be famile to someone..
Let's rise a sun, rise a hope..
Come, let's make a morning for someone..

Satyagraha Music Review [Salim-Sulaiman, Aadesh, Meet-Anjjan, Indian Ocean]



Like before.

  • Prakash Jha is making a multistarrer on a socio-political subject.
  • Music is taken from many composers.
  • Aadesh Srivastava is one of them. So are Salim Sulaiman.
  • One song is taken from something everyone remembers. Vande Mataram to Raghupati Raghav.
  • There is one item number kinda thing.

Now, the things that don't come under these bullets.

First of all, accolades to Prasoon Joshi for writing magic throughout.

Salim Sulaiman have made Raghupati Raghav Raja Raam really well. After being out of touch for quite some time, their music comes out as good and effective as required. Of course, the base tune comes to their advantage, but the mixing of their own tune with it is not an easy task and they have done it in a way that the overall song sounds powerful.

Shivam Pathak does sound well, but towards the end, he sounds, well, Salim-ish. His energy is good, but he comes a little too much in 'Josh' towards the end. Still, he's not bad.

The next song begins with Shraddha Pandit singing Hamri Atariya pe aiyo balam ji to a nicely self-inspired melody*. She sounds okay here, but Salim-Sulaiman's arrangements seems to have got a little too much of electronica here, and so, despite the nice, slow melody of the song, it doesn't seem to work too well. The song could have been much better if the baansuri in the background was showcased a little more, and the like, if you know what I mean. Won't call this an experiment really as it sounds more like a remix already.

* Tune inspired by: Baawli si preet mori, ab chain kaise paaye, i.e. Rasiya, from Salim-Sulaiman's own Kurbaan. Begins on that note and diverts.

The next song is Aadesh's Ras ke bhare tore nain. I don't know much raagas, but I think this is not the regular thumri that comes in this name. Correct if I'm wrong. Anyway, Shafqat sings it nice, though Arpita's tirkit-dha in the background sounds like extras behind Hrithik Roshan, which here try to come to the front too! Not required really. At a point or two, the song very clearly becomes 'mora piya mose bolat naahi'. Now may be it's due to some raaga or tech thing, but whatever it is, it does remind you of the song. No issues though, as it sounds fine.

Next, Meet Bros Anjjan make a nice song as Janta Rocks, but voila! Did the music remind you of 'Stop That' by Devang Patel? And VERY much like Meri Aan, Meri Shaan, Meri Jaan Hindustan, that theme in Border? Other than that, the song is good, especially the part in Ashok Kumar's Jhumaritalayya style is just lovely.

The next song of the album is probably the best of the lot. Indian Ocean's Hum Bhole The is a passionate composition, well performed and rockingly sung by Rahul Ram, Amit Kilam and Himanshu Joshi. The lyrics and the music just complement each other in the song. Look for the interludes of the song too; lovely music there. In short, it's a must listen.

As such I don't believe in remixes, but Aadesh makes Ras ke bhare tore nain quite interestingly. The way he begins the song gets me attracted, and he's not bad overall. Interestingly, Arpita in background sounds better than in the original version here. It's all in the arrangements.

And may I just miss the atariya remix? It's not too bad, but it's too commonplace. Hence.

Overall, with one superawesome song [Bhole the], one really good song [Raghupati Raghav], one quite good song [Ras ke bhare], and one not bad song [Janta Rocks], Satyagraha is a good album, and does get you some feel of the movie. If you'd like to be a part of Prakash Jha's revolution, you can certainly buy it.

Hum Bhole The Hum Bhaale Hain Lyrics Translation [Satyagraha]



Hum Bhole the is a Rocking rock song composed and performed by Indian Ocean for Satyagraha. The impassioned lyrics of the song are written by the man with a spirited pen, Prasoon Joshi. As for the praise of the song, there are just four words to be said. Do Not Miss It.

Here are the lyrics of the song with Translation. Most of those available on the web until now are wrong. I've tried to get it as right as possible. Still, if there is anything missing, let us know.



Lo mashaalon ko jagaa daala kisee ne
Bhole the ab kar diyaa bhaala kisi ne..

Here, someone has burned the torches..
We were innocent, someone has made us a spear..

[The thing to notice here is that Bhola and bhaala are used together as bhola-bhaala where bhaala doesn't have any meaning and the whole thing means 'innocent' only.]

Hum bhole the, hum bhole the, hum bhole they..
Hum bhole the.. Ab bhaale hain
Hum bhaale hain.. ab aale hain..

We were innocent, we were innocent, we were innocent,
We were innocent, But are spears now..
We're spears, and we've come now..

Hai Sheher ye koyalon kaa ye magar naa bhool jaanaa..
Laal shole ki isee bastee mein rehte hain yugon se..
Raaste mein dhool hai keechad hai par ye yaad rakhnaa
Ye zameen dhulti rahi sankalp waale aansuon se..
Mere aangan ko hai dho daala kisi ne...

This town is that of coals, but don't forget,
We've been living in this street of red fireballs..
There are dust and mud on the way, but remember,
The earth gets washed with the tears of pledge at times,
And someone has washed my yard..

Bewajah ye aag ghar se yoon nikalti hi nahi hai
Toliyaan jatthe bana kar cheekh yoon chalti nahi hai
Raat ko bhi dekhne do aaj tum sooraj ke jalwe
Jab tapegi eent tab hi hosh mein aayenge talwe..
Tod daala maun ka taala kisi ne..

For no reason this fire doesn't come out of home(s)..
And a scream doesn't walk making groups and hordes.
Let night too see the brightness of the sun today,
When the bricks are hot, then only the soles [of feet] will come to themselves..
Someone has broken the lock of silence [that was there on the public's mouths]..

[For Line one of the para: Aag is singular, but here he means all the people, hence it's actually about homes, not one home.]

Hum bhole they.. Ab bhaale hain
Hum bhaale hain.. Hum bhaale hain.. Hum bhaale hain..

Movie/Album: सत्याग्रह (2013)
Music By: सलीम-सुलैमान
Lyrics By: प्रसून जोशी
Performed By: शफ्कत अमानत अली खान, अर्पिता चक्रबर्ती

रसके भरे तोरे नैन
सांवरिया
तड़पत हूँ दिन रैन
सांवरिया

बिन देखे नहीं चैन
सांवरिया

दर्द जिया का, कासे कहूँ मैं
टीस में कैसे बोलूं
पिया बिना मैं, जोगन जोगन
बन के बावरिया डोलूं
और न कर बेचैन
सांवरिया...
रसके भरे तोरे...

तोरे खातिर से सजाई
खुसबू फुलवा फुलवा
अंग अंग मोरे गंध तेहारी
बहियन झूला झुलवा
हुई सुहागन रैन
सांवरिया
रसके भरे तोरे...

Aara ra ra Janta Rocks Satyagraha Lyrics Translation Explanations



Movie: Satyagraha
Music: Meet Bros Anjjan
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Meet Bros Anjjan, Keerthi Sagathiya

In this song, Janta, Public is replaced by 'Janta Rocks' by the lyricist, but since it makes it difficult to write the meaning, the additional 'rocks' is removed from meanings.

O hilegi kursee dolegaa shaasan
Dag dag dag dag janta rocks
Ab baat karegee janta rocks
Jaag uthee hai janta rocks
Baat karegi jaag uthee..
Ab raaj karegee jantaa hoye..

The chair will stir, the regime will swing,
dag dag dag dag Public Rocks
Now the public will talk,
Now the public has woken up
Will talk, has woken up,
Now the public will rule..

janta rocks..
Ab raaj karegi janta

Chalo ghotaale ki baat karein..
Kuchh dhan kaale ki baat karein..
Bhai ghotaalaa karnaa khel nahi.. Aukaat chaahiye
Ek alag hi kalaa chahiye.. Baat chaahiye

Come let's talk about scams,
Talk a bit about black money,
It's not a game to do a scam, you need some status,
You need a different kind of art, that thing..

Aam aadmi kyaa samjhegaa
Bade logon kee badi baat
un se kahan fursat hai bhaiyaa
From chauka, choolhaa aur daal-bhaat

What will a common man understand
the big thing of big people,
They don't have time free away from
their daily routine problems..

[choolha chauka daal bhaat is literally stove, kitchen, lentils and rice, but idiomatic usage here.]

Aur ye mantri ji ne kalaayi ke prayog se dhan ko mod diya hai. Boundary line ki taraf yahaan koi fielder nahi aur jantaa ke dekhte hi dekhte Swiss bank mein ek aur khaata khulaa. Par hamre ghotaale se tohra ghotaala bada kaise re.. Ji haan, super ghotaale ki chamkaar zyada safed..

[This part makes a parody on cricket matches and famous washing powder advertisements]

And the honorable Minister has diverted the money with the skilled use of wrists [like in cricket]. There is no fielder towards the boundary line, and as people watch, one more account opened in Swiss bank. But how is your scam bigger than mine. Yes, Super scam's shine is whiter.]

Ghotaalaa champ tumhein salaam
Janta kartee tumhein pranaam
Khaamosh rahee hai ab tak par
Ab baat karegee jantaa..

O scam champ, salute to you,
The public bows to you..
It has been quite until now,
But now public will talk..

janta rocks..
Ab raaj karegi janta

Ain't nobody strong to stop us, we're janta
Hum sab saath chalein hum hain jantaa

There's nobody strong enough to stop us, we're the public
We all walk together, we're the public..

Chalo-chalo-chalo sammaan ki baat karein
Kuchh in ki shaan kee baat karein..

Come, let's talk about respect,
talk a bit about their splendor..

Lo gaadi chalee..
Lo batti waalee badi niraalee gaadi chalee..
Lo batti waalee badi niraalee mantri waalee gaadi chalee..
Idhar se udhar, udhar se idhar
Lo traffic ruka
jantaa wala bhola bhaalaa traffic rukaa
Lo janta wala bhola bhaala aam aadmee ka traffic rukaa
Scooter rukaa bike rukee auto taxi bus bhi ruki
Titar se bitar, bitar se titar
Are batti waalon kee yahee hai shaan
Mera Bhaarat pareshaan

[This one is sung in Ashok Kumar's style, like his popular song Jhumaritalayya.]

See the car goes,
See the unique car with [red] light goes,
See the unique, Minister's car with [red] light goes,
From here to there, there to here..
See the traffic stopped,
Public's innocent traffic stopped..
See Public's innocent, common man's traffic stopped..
Scooter stopped, Bike stopped, Auto taxi Bus too stopped..
All got into chaos..
This is the grandeur of those with [red] light
My India is Troubled..

[Mera Bharat Pareshaan is a spoof on famous line Mera Bharat Mahaan, My India is Great.]

Oonchaayi se neeche aao..
Hum se aa kar nazar milaao..
Baith ke dekho tamaashaa
Ab bindaas chalegee janta

Come down from the heights,
Come and meet us in the eye..
Sit and see the drama,
now the Public will walk freely..

janta walks
janta rocks
Ab raaj karegi janta

Chalo.. Sanskaar kee baat karein
Thodaa aachaar ki baat karein
Aachaar ki.. are suno to sahi
Neemboo aam mix panchrangee
Ho gaye fail saare achaar..
Jab se apne desh mein aaya
Achaaron ka achaaar....
Bhrashtaachaar... bhrashtaachaar... bhrashtaachaar...

Come, let's talk about culture,
Talk a bit about behaviour..
Of Achaar, listen for a moment..
Lime, Mango, mixture of five,
All pickles got failed,
since the time we got in our country
Pickle of Pickles,
Corruption.. Corruption.. Corruption

[Aachaar = Behaviour, Achar = Pickle, The lyricist has taken a dig mixing the two. Also, Bhrashtaachaar comes from Bhrasht+Aachaar, i.e. corrupt+behaviour.]

Pehle ik badi si beimaani lijiye. Ab is beimaani ke chhote-chhote tukde kar ke sookhne ke liye daal dijiyega. Phir ik katore mein kameenepan ka tel le ker beimaani ke tukde us mein daal dijiye. Ab is mein milana thoda saa laalach, thodi si haraamkhoree aur achchi tarah se milaa kar iska paste bana leejiye. Bhrashtachaar taiyyar!

[This one is spoken as a pickle's, that is, achaar's recipe, in Nana Patekar's usual style where he speaks non stop, like in Krantiveer.]

First take a big dishonesty. Now divide this dishonesty into small pieces and let it dry. Then taking the oil of villainousness in a bowl, put the pieces of dishonesty into is. Now add to it a little greed, some habit of getting money without doing anything, and mix it well and make a paste. Corruption is ready.

Wahaan takiye mein thoonsaa rupaiyaa
Yahaan pe bhookhee janta maiyaa
Un ki gaayein bhi khaaye badaam
Gale mein rassee mare kisaan
Kholo sansad ke darwaaje
Knock kare hai jantaa khol

There, they cram money into pillows,
here, the public is hungry..
Their cows also eat almonds [for politicians]
And (here) farmers die with rope in neck [they commit suicides]
Open the doors of the parliament,
The public knocks, Open them..

janta knocks
janta rocks
Ab raaj karegi jantaa

Janta rocks.. Janta rocks..

Saanwariya.. Sawariya..
Sanwariya.. Saawariya..

O dark one, O beloved..

[Saanwariya was used for Lord Krishna lovingly for his dark complexion, for detailed meaning, see THIS POST.]

Ras ke bhare tore nain saanwariya
Ras ke bhare tore nain..

Your eyes are full of sweet syrup,
O beloved, Your eyes are full of sweetness..

Tadpat hoon din rain saanwariya
Tadpat hoon din rain..
Bin dekhe naahi chain saanwariya..
Bin dekhe naahi chain..

I agonize day and night, O beloved,
I agonize day and night for you..

I don't get peace unless I see you..

O, ras ke bhare tore nain saawariyaa

[notes for Tabla]

Dard jiyaa ka kaase kahoon main
Tees main kaise boloon..
Piyaa binaa main jogan jogan
Ban ke baawariyaa doloon..
Aur na kar bechain saawariya.. Saawariya..

How do I tell you of the pain of my heart,
How do I tell of the stinging in the heart..
Without my beloved I feel like a monk
Going mad, I wander here and there,
Now don't make me further restless, O beloved..

Ras ke bhare tore nain saawariya

Tohri khaatir sej sajaayi
Khushboo phulwaa-phulwaa..
Ang ang more gandh tihaaree
Bahiyaan jhoolaa jhulwaa..
Hui suhaagan rain saawariya..
Hui suhaagan rain..

For you, I have adorned this bed,
Where there is fragrance in every flower..
My entire body is fragrant with your smell,
I swing in your arms..
The night has become a newly-wed, O my beloved..
The night has become a newlywed..

O ras ke bhare tore nain saawariya
Ras ke bhare tore nain

Tu mainu chadh gee, meri soniye
Roko naa, toko naa
Ho.. mujh ko peene do raj ke..

O slow motion English (girl),
Why do you waste time now?
Take me in your arms straightaway,
Why do you increase restlessness..
O my whiskey, O my raw liquor,
You've made me high, O my beautiful,
Don't stop me, don't forbid me..
Let me drink to my wish..

Ghulmil, ghulmil launda
Ghulmil, ghulmil..

mingle, mingle boy,
mix up, mix up..

Sing..

wool-mill wool-mill wonda
wool-mill wool-mill..

Raat badhtee jo jaaye
Haath kya kya tatole
Jhooth bole zubaan bhi
Dharm eemaan dole..

As the night gets deep,
where does the hand not go to..
Even the tongue tells lies,
and even the best intentions begin to dwindle..

Tu jo dariyaa mein utre,
Saara paani gulaabee..
Talli talli ho leherein
Machhliyaan bhi sharaabi

As you get down into the water,
all the water goes pink..
[as in, it seems to become liquor]
the waves get drunk,
and even the fish is drunkard..

Meri whiskiye, meri tharriye
Tu menu chadh gayi, meri soniye
Roko na, toko na
mujh ko peene do raj ke

Ghulmil, ghulmil launda
Ghulmil, ghulmil..
Sing..

wool-mill wool-mill wonda
wool-mill wool-mill..

Ho kaanch si hai tu naazuk..
Saans lena sambhal ke
Toot jaaye kaheen naa
Bas tu karvat badal ke

you're fragile like glass,
breathe carefully..
(I am afraid) you shouldn't break
by just turning (in bed)..

Tujh ko meree zaroorat
Aa main tujh ko uthaa loon
Dheere dheere se chalnaa
Apni aadat banaa loon

You need me, come,
I'll pick you up..
And make it a habit
to walk slowly..
[so that you don't get hurt]

Meri whiskiye, meri tharriye
Tu menu chadh gayi, meri soniye
Roko na, toko na
mujh ko peene do raj ke

Ghulmil, ghulmil launda
Ghulmil, ghulmil..
Sing..

wool-mill wool-mill wonda
wool-mill wool-mill..

Apne hi Rang mein Mujhko – O Rangrez Mere Lyrics Translation



Movie: Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singer: Javed Bashir, Shreya Ghoshal

O Rangrez mere is one of the best songs of not just Bhaag Milkha Bhaag, but it's one of the best composition that Shankar Ehsaan Loy have come up with in past some time. The raag-based, slow paced song sung by Javed Bashir and Shreya Ghoshal is a conversational one where a loved one wants the beloved to color him/her in the color of the beloved and hence calls the beloved a dyer.

O rangrez..
O rangrez tere rang dariyaa mein
Doobnaa hai bas teraa ban ke
Haye nahi rehnaa doojaa ban ke

O dyer,
O dyer, in your river of colors,
I have to drown, becoming all yours..
I don't have to live belonging to someone else..

Ek bhi saans alag nahi lenee
Khainch lenaa praan is tan ke
Haye, nai rehna doojaa ban ke

I don't want to take a single breath away from you,
pull the life from my body away..
I don't want to live belonging to someone else..

Apne hee rang mein, mujh ko rang de
Dheeme dheeme rang mein, mujh ko rang de
Saundhe saundhe rang mein mujh ko rang de
Rang de na, rang de naa, rang de naa..

Color me in your own color..
Slowly, color me in your color..
In fragrant color, color me..
Color me, color me please...

Ghunghroo hai tu
main to hoon paanv piyaa, jhanananan
Peepal tu main to hoon chaanv piyaa
Dabi hoon magan

You're the ankle-bells,
I am the foot, o beloved..
[and then there is sound of ghunghroo, the ankle-bells, signifying the togetherness of both.]
You're the peepal tree, and I am the shade,
I am happily there below you..

O nainon mein bas chhab teree lehraaye
Chhalke chhalke chhalke re
Barse halke halke
Apne hi rang mein

Your shadow waves in my eyes, [like waves of sea]
and spills, spills, spills..
rains slowly.. [she's talking of tears here]
In your own color...

Apne hi rang mein mujh ko rang de...

Maalaa mein aa tujh ko piro loon
Tujhe pehnoon sajan
Hothon pe aa sargam saa boloon
Tujhe raT loon sajan

Come, I'll put you in a garland [like a flower]
and wear you, O beloved..
Come to my lips, I'll sing you like a sargam
[sargam is the music of any song in terms of elements which are sung by experts.]
I'll remember you by heart, O beloved..

Sajan,
Tees meri pees de mujh mein hi
Ghul ja, mil ja, mil jaa sajnaa
Pighal ke mil jaa, mil jaa..
Apne hi rang mein..

O beloved,
grind (and end) the twinge I feel,
get dissolved into me only, get mixed, O beloved..
Melt and get mixed,
In your own color..

Apne hi rang mein mujhko rang de...

Ab Tu Bhaag Milkha Bhaag: Title Song Lyrics Translation [Rock Version]



After a long time, I hear a madly motivational song, and once again from Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Every time you listen to the song, it gives you a high, and both SEL's music and Prasoon Joshi's lyrics are equally creditable for this wonder. Siddharth Mahadevan sounds a lot like Shankar in many places, and in his singing style too. He might not be as polished as his father, but his enthusiasm in the song sounds very real, and that was a necessity here.

Prasoon Joshi has written some really good lyrics (and I believe tough, since I've already seen most lyric and translation writers making mistakes in this one), and they're a joy to listen to. Here are the lyrics with translation. For now this is the rock version.

are santee maar rahaa sansaar
Ab tu aane de lalkaar
teri to baahein patwaar
kadam hain tere hahakaar

The world is hitting (you) with a stick
Now let there be shouts (to challenge you, don't be afraid)
Your arms are strong like oars
Your feet are an outcry..

[The meaning of Santee seems to have created some confusions. When a thin branch is taken out of a tree and used as a stick to punish, it's called Santee.]

Teri nas-nass lohaa taar
tu hai aag
bas tu bhaag Milkha
Oh bas tu bhaag Milkha, bhaag Milkha,
bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha

every vein of yours is an iron wire
You are a fire..
You just run Milkha
Now just run, run Milkha, run..

O.. sariyaa, O.. kashtee..
O sariyaa O saria
O mod de aag ka dariyaa
O kashti O kashtee
O doob jaane mein hi hai hastee..

O iron bar, O boat..
O iron bar
bend the river of fire
O boat
there’s glory only in sinking..

[Here Sariyaa, Iron bar, is used to create an effect, it's not used anywhere in a sentence but in the next, you talk about bending something, so iron bar is in your mind and you think of bending that too.]

O jungle O jungle, aaj sheheron se hai tera dangal
O Milkha, bhaag Milkha, bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag bhaag Milkha

O Jungle, today you need to wrestle against cities..
O Milkha, run Milkha, just run, run..

[He's being called a Jungle because Milkha is more of a simple villager compared to people who used latest available technologies to compete in the Olympics, which he didn't have access to.]

tu jaag.. ab tu jaag Milkha
tu hai aag.. tu hai aag Milkha

Wake up, now wake up Milkha
You are a fire, you're a fire Milkha

Teraa to bistar hai maidaan
Odhnaa dharti teri shaan
tere sirhaane hai chattaan
Pehen le..
Pehen le Poora aasmaan
tu Pagdi baandh Milkha
tu aag Milkha..

The ground is your bed,
And wearing the earth is your pride
the mountains are your pillows..
Wear the whole sky..
tie your turban Milkha
You are a fire, Milkha..

[The turban is indirectly compared to the entire sky here, the turban as such is considered to be a symbol of Prestige, and hence the comparison.]

khol tu Rath ke Pahiye khol
banaa de chakra sudarshan bol
jang ke feete kas ke baandh
khulee hai aaj sher ki maand
goli daag Milkha...

Open the wheels of your chariot,
make the Sudarshan chakra and speak (out loud, give a cry)
tie the laces for the fight tightly
The lion's cave is open today,
Shoot Milkha!

[The wheels of chariot and Sudarshan are from the Mahabharata, Karna was killed when he removed the wheel of his chariot. Here, Milkha is asked to open the wheels of chariot, that is, without fear, and make Sudarshan Chakra out of it, which was actually the weapon of Lord Vishnu, who was helping the winning side in the Mahabharata as Krishna. For ref., Karna was on the losing side of the battle, though he's considered to be near-perfect fighter.]

daant se kaat le bijlee taar
chabaa le taambe ki jhankaar
Phoonk de khud ko jwaala jwaalaa
bin khud jale na hoye Ujaalaa
lapat hai aag Milkha…

cut the electricity wires with your teeth
Chew up the current in the copper [as in, the copper wires]
burn yourself in fire,
light isn't there without burning oneself
This flame is the fire Milkha..

O bas tu bhaag Milkha..

There must be a fire flaring,
The wood of heart must be smoldering too..
On such a night, listen, whole night, keeping our hands on hearts, together
what shall we do, say..
We'll perform a Yajna, we'll perform a Yajna..

Movie: Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Singer: Javed Bashir
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy

Hooo meraa yaar hai rab vargaa
Dildaar hai rab vargaa


My companion is like God
My lover is like God

Ishq karun yaa karun ibaadat
Ishq karun yaa karun ibaadat
Ekko hi gal ai..


Whether I love or worship
Whether I love or worship
Both are the same thing

Alfoo Allah, alfoo Allah
Alfoo Allah hu... (4 times)


God is first
God is before all..

Main mandir kyun jaawan
Meraa yaar khudaa hai
Main masjid kyun jaawan
Meraa yaar khudaa hai


Why should I go to the temple
My companion is God
Why should I go to the mosque
My companion is God

Merey pairo mein bhangdaa
Saanso mein tappey, tappey
Main ishq taraney gaun chappe shappe


I have Bhandra in my feet
I have poems in my breathes
I sing love songs in each corner

Ishq karun yaa karun ibaadat
Ishq karun yaa karun ibaadat
Ekko hi gal ai..

Alfoo Allah, alfoo Allah

Mainey aankh se gattak liyaa

He is the lake of beauty
I am old thirst
I drank with eyes
the water of that beauty

Use taktey taktey taktey umar guzaarun
Koyi aur khayaal jo aaye jhat sey utaarun

I pass my life staring her
If some other thought comes, I leave that at sudden

Ishq karoon yaa karoon ibaadat
Ishq karoon yaa karoon ibaadat
Ikko hi gal ae

Alfoo Allah, alfoo Allah
Alfoo Allah hu... (4 times)


Mainey ishq itar pehnaa

I wore the perfume of love
And now I have fragrance
Now only she is smelt

Merey pairo mein bhangdaa
Saanso mein tappey, tappey
Main ishq taraney gaun chappe shappe

Ishq karun yaa karun ibaadat
Ishq karun yaa karun ibaadat
Ekko hi gal ai..

तारे ज़मीं पर - Taare Zameen Par (Shankar Mahadevan)



Movie/Album: तारे ज़मीन पर (2007)
Music By: शंकर एहसान लॉय
Lyrics By: प्रसून जोशी
Performed By: शंकर महादेवन, डोमिनिक सेरेजो, विविएने पोचा

देखो इन्हें ये हैं ओस की बूँदें
पत्तों की गोद में आसमां से कूदे
अंगड़ाई लें फिर करवट बदल कर
नाज़ुक से मोती हंस दे फिसल कर
खो ना जाएँ ये तारे ज़मीं पर

ये तो हैं सर्दी में धूप की किरणें
उतरें जो आँगन को सुनहरा सा करने
मन के अंधेरो को रोशन सा कर दें
ठिठुरती हथेली की रंगत बदल दें
खो ना जाएँ ये तारे ज़मीं पर

जैसे आँखों की डिबिया में निंदिया
और निंदिया में मीठा सा सपना
और सपने में मिल जाए फरिश्ता सा कोई
जैसे रंगों भरी पिचकारी
जैसे तितलियाँ फूलों की क्यारी
जैसे बिना मतलब का प्यारा रिश्ता हो कोई

ये तो आशा की लहर हैं
ये तो उम्मीद की सहर हैं
खुशियों की नहर हैं
खो ना जाएँ ये तारे ज़मीं पर

देखो रातों के सीने पे ये तो
झिलमिल किसी लौ से उगे हैं
ये तो अंबियो की खुश्बू हैं
बागों से बह चले
जैसे काँच में चूड़ी के टुकड़े
जैसे खिले खिले फूलों के मुखड़े
जैसे बंसी कोई बजाए पेड़ों के तले

ये तो झोंके हैं पवन के
हैं ये घुंघरू जीवन के
ये तो सुर हैं चमन के
खो ना जाएँ ये तारे ज़मीं पर

मुहल्ले की रौनक गलियाँ हैं जैसे
खिलने की ज़िद पर कलियाँ हैं जैसे
मुट्ठी में मौसम की जैसे हवायें
ये हैं बुज़ुर्गों के दिल की दुआएं
खो ना जाएँ ये तारे ज़मीं पर

कभी बातें जैसे दादी नानी
कभी चले जैसे मम मम पानी
कभी बन जाएँ भोले सवालों की झड़ी
सन्नाटे में हँसी के जैसे
सूने होठों पे खुशी के जैसे
ये तो नूर हैं बरसे गर
तेरी किस्मत हो बड़ी

जैसे झील में लहराए चंदा
जैसे भीड़ में अपने का कंधा
जैसे मनमौजी नदिया
झाग उड़ाए कुछ कहे
जैसे बैठे बैठे मीठी सी झपकी
जैसे प्यार की धीमी सी थपकी
जैसे कानों में सरगम
हरदम बजती ही रहे
जैसे बरखा उडाती है निंदिया...

माँ - Maa (Taare Zameen Par, Shankar Mahadevan)



Movie/Album: तारे ज़मीन पर (2007)
Music By: शंकर एहसान लॉय
Lyrics By: प्रसून जोशी
Performed By: शंकर महादेवन

मैं कभी बतलाता नहीं
पर अंधेरे से डरता हूँ मैं माँ

यूँ तो मैं, दिखलाता नहीं
तेरी परवाह करता हूँ मैं माँ
तुझे सब है पता, है ना माँ
तुझे सब है पता, मेरी माँ

भीड़ में, यूँ ना छोड़ो मुझे
घर लौट के भी आ ना पाऊँ माँ   
भेज ना इतना दूर मुझको तू
याद भी तुझको आ ना पाऊँ माँ
क्या इतना बुरा हूँ मैं माँ
क्या इतना बुरा मेरी माँ

जब भी कभी पापा मुझे
जो ज़ोर से झूला झुलाते हैं माँ
मेरी नज़र ढूँढे तुझे
सोचूं यही तू आ के थामेगी माँ

उनसे मैं ये कहता नहीं
पर मैं सहम जाता हूँ माँ
चेहरे पे आने देता नहीं
दिल ही दिल में घबराता हूँ माँ
तुझे सब है पता है ना माँ
तुझे सब है पता मेरी माँ
मैं कभी बतलता नहीं...

मुख़्तसर - Mukhtasar (Teri Meri Kahani, Wajid)



Movie/Album: तेरी मेरी कहानी (2012)
Music By: साजिद-वाजिद
Lyrics By: प्रसून जोशी
Performed By: वाजिद अली

मुख़्तसर मुलाक़ात है
अनकही कोई बात है
फिर रात की शैतानियाँ
या अलग, ये जज़्बात है
मुख़्तसर...

मौसम ये कहता है, भीगे अंधेरों में
डुबकी लगाते हैं ना
पर मुझको लगता है, मैं रोक लूं खुद को
एहसास है ये नया
क्या हुआ, मैं हूँ बेखबर
है नया सा, सुहाना असर
जीत है या मात है
मुख़्तसर मुलाकात है...

ये तो सुना था, के कुछ ऐसा होता है
पर मुझको भी हो गया
मेरी तो दुनिया बिलकुल अलग थी
अंदाज़ वो खो गया
देखना, डूबना हो गया
डूबना, तैरना हो गया
क्या असर मेरे साथ है
मुख़्तसर मुलाक़ात है...

अर्ज़ियाँ - Arziyaan (Javed Ali, Delhi 6)



Movie/Album: दिल्ली 6 (2009)
Music By: ए.आर.रहमान
Lyrics By: प्रसून जोशी
Performed By: जावेद अली, कैलाश खेर

अर्ज़ियाँ सारी मैं चेहरे पे लिख के लाया हूँ
तुम से क्या माँगू मैं
तुम ख़ुद ही समझ लो
मौला मेरे मौला
दरारें-दरारें हैं माथे पे मौला
मरम्मत मुक़द्दर की कर दो मौला
मेरे मौला
तेरे दर पे झुका हूँ, मिटा हूँ, बना हूँ
मरम्मत मुक़द्दर की कर दो मौला

जो भी तेरे दर आया, झुकने जो सर आया
मस्तियाँ पिए सबको, झूमता नज़र आया
प्यास लेके आया था दरिया वो भर लाया
नूर की बारिश में भीगता सा तर आया
मौला मेरे मौला...

एक खुशबू आती थी, मैं भटकता जाता था
रेशमी सी माया थी, और मैं तकता जाता था
जब तेरी गली आया, सच तभी नज़र आया
मुझमें ही वो खुशबू थी, जिससे तूने मिलवाया
मौला मेरे मौला...

टूट के बिखरना मुझको ज़रूर आता है
वरना इबादत वाला शहूर आता है
सजदे में रहने दो, अब कहीं ना जाऊँगा
अब जो तुमने ठुकराया तो सँवर ना पाऊँगा
मौला मेरे मौला...

सर उठा के मैंने तो कितनी ख्वाहिशें की थी
कितने ख्वाब देखे थे, कितनी कोशिशें की थी
जब तू रूबरू आया, नज़रें ना मिला पाया
सर झुका के एक पल में मैंने क्या नहीं पाया
मौला मेरे मौला...

मोरा पिया घर आया, मोरा पिया घर आया
मौला मेरे मौला...

Mitti Bole, Maati Bole Lyrics Translation (Satyamev Jayate 8)



Show: Satyamev Jayate
Episode: #8, Poison on Plate
Composer: Ram Sampath
Lyricist: Prasoon Joshi
Singer: Krishna Beura



Haule Haule dheeme dheeme
Mitti bole, maati bole


Slowly slowly
Soil speaks, soil speaks

Geet boney the tumhe
Bo diye kyun laal sholay
Haule-Haule dheeme dheeme
Mitti bole, maati bole


You were to sow songs
Why did you sow red fire balls?
Slowly slowly
Soil speaks, soil speaks


Ghar ke aangan mein kahaan se
Yeh lapat si aa gayi?
Khidkiyon ki thi woh raunak
Dhoop ab kahaan gayi?

From where, in the yard
did this flame come?
It was the beauty of windows,
Where did the sunshine go?

Kyon hawa hai roothi roothi
Shaakh gumsum kyun na dole
Haule Haule dheeme dheeme
Mitti bole, maati bole

Why is the air angry?
Why are the branches quiet, not moving?
Slowly slowly
Soil speaks, soil speaks

Garam hai maatha saagar ka
Tabiyat dheeli dheeli
Dekho chhalakti aasmaan ki aankh neeli neeli
Kisne paani ko jalaya?
Kisne paani ko jalaya?
Kaun vish jheelon mein ghole?
Haule Haule dheeme dheeme
Mitti bole, mati bole


The forehead of sea is hot
Its health is down
See, the blue eye of the sky is spilling
Who burnt the water?
Who burnt the water?
Who is poisoning the lakes?
Slowly slowly
Soil speaks, soil speaks

Geet boney the tumhe..
