Music Label: T-Series

main Daalun taal pe bhangRa
tu bhi gidda paa le
chal aisa rang jamaa de hum
ke bane sabhi matwaale

I’ll dance bhangDa on the beat,
you too dance the giddha dance,
come, let’s have such fun here,
that everyone goes crazy having fun..

mann kahe ki main le aaun
chaand aur taare saare
in haathon par main chaand rakhoon
is maang mein bhar doon taare

the heart says I’ll go and get
moon and all the stars,
I’ll keep moon there in these hands,
and fill the stars in your hair parting.

hello! hello! tu floor pe kab hai aayi
ye lo, ye lo, baDi solid masti chaayi
hello! hello! too much hai tumne lagaayi
ye lo, ye lo, control karo mere bhai

hello, hello, when did you come to the floor,
take this, take this, what a solid fun is going on here..
hello, hello, you have had (drunk) too much,
take this, take this, control my brother..

dhak-dhak dhak-dhak dhaDke ye dil
chhan chhan bole amritsari chooDiyaan
raat badi hai mastaani
koi dilbar jaani kar le gallan gooDiyaan

the heart beats, thump-thump,
and Amritsar’s bangles jingle,
the night is such a fun,
some beloved should talk sweetly (to me)..

chhanaa chhanaka tere tana dutanaka tere
chhanaa chhanaka tere tana dutanaka tera..
[doesn’t have a meaning, it’s more like singing some beats.]

main kabootar faseya ki hor koi
fase hi na haay fase hi na

I, a pigeon, am trapped,
but no other gets trapped..

ye baat na maine jaani
kyun itni khush hai diwaani
tu mujhko aisi kahaani samjha de, samjha de..

I have known this thing
why the crazy one is so happy,
you tell me such a story, such a story..

ye baat hai sabne chaahi
mile janmon ka humraahi
yahaan huaa hai kuch aisa hi
samjhe na samjhe na o ho..

every one has wanted this thing,
that we get a partner for all our lives (even if there are more than one lives)
here something like that has happened,
you have got it, right?

ab main jaana keh rahi ho kya fasaana ho ho.
pyaar karne se bhi mushqil hai nibhaana ho ho

now I have understood what story you have been telling,
it is tougher to maintain love on than falling in love..

hello! hello! don't mind mera ye kehna
ye lo, ye lo, zara mere touch mein rehna

hello hello, don’t mind when I say this,
take this, take this, be in touch..

dhak-dhak dhak-dhak dhaDke ye dil
chhan chhan bole amritsari chooDiyan
raat badi hai mastaani
koi dilbar jaani kar le gallan gooDiyan

raat badi hai mastaanee..

o marjaana oye…

[marjaana is a mild abuse in Punjabi, the literal word of the meaning is mortal, liable to death.]

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.

Murshid Khele Holi Lyrics Translation [D-Day]

Song: Murshid Khele Holi

Movie: D-Day

Composer: Shankar Ehsaan Loy

Lyrics: Niranjan Iyenger

Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Munawar Masoom, Javed Ali

The title of this Qawwali translates directly to 'My spiritual guide plays Holi'. The term ‘murshid’ is used to describe a spiritual guide. The celebration of ‘Holi’, the festival marking the arrival of Spring, is a lively and colorful one, with friends, family, and neighbors throwing colored powder and water on each other. This Qawwali is sung in the praise and amazement of the guide and his ‘colors’.

Choota theer jo uske kamaan se

Jahan laage ji te lagna

Chori likhi hai bhaagya mein tere

Toh kya sona, kya jagna?

If the arrow has left his bow

It’s bound to hit where it hits

Stealing is written in your fortune

So why sleep, why awaken?

Ho…Saanwa te sooha, rang sabke naseeb da

Khele dukh sukh aankh mein choli

O! Green/dark and red…the colors of everyone's destiny

Sadness and contentment play hide and seek

Jee mein tu, jaan mein tu

Mere saare jahaan mein tu

In my being is you, in my being is you

In my entire universe is you

Mera murshid khele holi

Yaara rang hai uska nyaara

My guide plays holi

Friend, his color is unique

Pyala chidke apne karam ka

Rang de sab sansaara

Sprinkling the goblet of his deeds

He colors the entire creation

Ishq da rang hai nyaara

Tere ishq da rang hai nyaara

The color of love is unique

The color of your love is unique

Ho uski rangat, meri aadat

Uski chaahat, ek ibaadat

O, his colorfulness, my habit

His affection, a worship

Uski rangat, meri aadat hai

Uski chaahat, ek ibaadat hai

Uske hone se, sab salaamat hai

Uski nazaron se, sab ki barkat hai

His colorfulness...is my habit!

His affection...is a protection!

From his presence, everything is peaceful!

From his gaze...is everyone's prosperity!

Sab ki barkat hai

Naache naseeba taar pe jiske

Haath mein uske dori

Everyone's prosperity!

The wire on which destiny dances

In his hand it's cord

Uske rehem se

Sab kuch rangiya

Uski naimat se jag sajiya

From his mercy

Everything is colorful

From his blessing

The universe is adorned

Kabhi kanton pe phool bikhraye

Kahin ashkon ke beech muskaye

Sometimes on thorns he spreads flowers

Some places between teardrops he smiles

Kahin palkon pe khwaab sajaye

Kahin raaton se need udaye

Kahin baadal, kahin barkha, kahin vakhra, kahin sarkha …

Some places on eyelashes he adorns dreams

Some places from nights he averts sleep

Some places [in] clouds! Some places [in] rain! Some places unique!

Roop, swaarop pe na ja uske

Sab anek hai, ek hai wohi

Don't go on his form, his true nature!

Everyone is plenty. He is only one.

Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singer: Sukhwiner Singh, supported by Shankar, Loy

I just met a girl
n she's from wool-mill wool-mill wonda
I can dance n she can sing
We can rock the whole night long..

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

ho slow motion angrejja
HuNN kyoon time ganwaaye
Seedhe baahon mein bhar le
Sarsaree kyoon badhaaye
Meri whiskiye, o meri tharriye
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..

Zinda Hai To Pyala Poora Bhar Le Lyrics Translation Bhaag Milkha Bhaag

Movie: Bhaag Milkha Bhaag
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singer: Siddharth Mahadevan
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy

Zindaa, hai to, pyaala, poora bhar le
Kanchaa, phoote, chooraa, kaanch kar le

You're alive, so fill the cup to the brim,
If the glass marble breaks, break the glass to powder..

Zindagi ka ye ghadaa le
Ek saans mein chadhaa le
Hichkiyon mein kyaa hai marna
Poora mar le..

Take this vessel of life,
and drink it in one breath..
It's no good to die in hiccups,
Die once, completely..

Koylaa kaalaa hai
Chattaanon ne paala hai
Andar kaala, baahar kaala
Par sachcha hai saala

(This) coal is black,
and brought up by rocks..
[That is, it's strong.]
It's black inside and black outside,
but it is truthful..

Zinda hai to, pyaala poora bhar le
Kanchaa phoote, chooraa kaanch kar le

Uljhe kyoon pairon mein ye khwaab
Kadmon say resham kheench de
Peechhe kuch na aage ka hisaab
Is pal ki kyaaree seench de

Why are these dreams entangled in my legs,
Pull the silk strings away from my feet..
There is no count of past or future,
Irrigate the seed-bed of this moment..

Aag zubaan pe rakh de
Phir chot ke honth bhigaayenge
Ghaav gungunaayenge
Tere dard geet ban jaayenge

Put fire on the tongue,
Then we'll wet the lips of injury..
The wounds shall sing,
and your pain will become songs..

Zinda hai to, pyaala poora bhar le
Kanchaa phoote, chooraa kaanch kar le

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...

मैं कभी बतलाता नहीं

यूँ तो मैं, दिखलाता नहीं
तेरी परवाह करता हूँ मैं 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

Aasman ke paar shayad aur koi aasman hoga: Lyrics Translation

Movie: Rockford (1999)
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Lyrics: Gulzar
Singer: Shankar Mahadevan

Aasman ke paar shayad aur koi aasman hoga
Badalon ke parbaton par koi barish ka makaan hoga
Main hawa ke paron pe kahaan ja raha hoon kahaan

There must be some other sky beyond this sky
There must be a house of rain on the mountains of clouds
Where am I going on the wings of air, where am I going..

kabhi udta hua
kabhi mudta hua
mera raasta chala

Sometimes flying
Sometimes turning
My path moved..

main hawa ke paron pe kahaan ja raha hoon kahaan

Mere paanv ke tale ki ye zameen chal rahi hai
Kaheen dhoop thandi thandi
Kaheen chhaanv jal rahi hai
Is zameen ka aur koi aasman hoga

The earth beneath my feet is moving
Somewhere the sunshine is cool
Somewhere the shadow is burning
There must be some other sky for this earth

Main hawa ke paron pe kahaan ja raha hoon kahaan

In lambe raaston par sab tez chalate honge
Copy ke pannon jaise yahaan din palatate honge
Shaam ko bhi subah jaisa kya samaan hoga

All must be walking briskly on these long paths
The days must be turning (fast) here like the pages of a copy
Like morning even in the evening, what a weather it would be..

main hawa ke paron pe kahaan ja raha hoon kahaan

aasamaan ke paar shaayad aur koi aasamaan hoga
baadalon ke parbaton par koi baarish ka makaan hoga..

Dushman Mera: Lyrics, Translation (Don 2, Shankar, Sunitha Sarathy)

Movie: Don 2
Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Lyrics: Javed Akhtar
Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Sunitha Sarathy

Koi jaane na
Yeh kaisi aag hai
Mere dil ko dasta
Yeh kaisa naag hai
Har ghadi, main jisko dhoondun
Bachke na jaayega
Haan kahin, na kahin toh ik din
Mujhe mil hi jaayega
Dushman mera

Nobody knows,
how's this fire..
biting my heart-
how's this snake..
Whom I look for every moment,
will not go unscathed..
yeah, somewhere, one day,
I'll get him..
My enemy..

Mujhe dhoondhna, aasaan hai kahaan
Zameen dekh lo, ya aasmaan
Main ik pal yahan, main ik pal hoon wahan
Nahin paaoge, mera nishaan
Jo koi bhi, mujhko dhoonde
Woh kuch naa paayega
Dil mein hi, woh, dil ke armaan
Wapas le jaayega
Samjhe zara, dushman mera

When is it easy to find me,
see the earth, or the sky,
I am here one moment and there another moment..
You'll not get, my sign..
whoever finds me,
will get nothing..
he'll take back the wishes of his heart
in his heart only..
my enemy should understand that..

In aankhon mein hai, jaane kaisi jwala
Is ko mat bujhne dena, sun lo mera kehna
Gusse mein kitni, tum dilkash lagti ho
Jab tak bhi reh pao tum, gusse mein hi rehna

In these eyes, some unknown fire is there..
don't let it die, listen to me..
How charming you look in anger,
as long as you can, stay angry..

Mera gussa toh, dekhoge ek din
Mere dil mein kya hai, jaanoge ek din
Tumse, main, itna keh doon
Woh din jab aayega
Dil mein hi, woh, dil ke armaan
Wapas le jaayega
Samjhe zara, dushman mera

One day you'll see my anger,
What's in my heart, you'll know one day..
I'll say this much to you,
when that day will come,
it'll take back the wishes of its heart
in its heart only..
my enemy should understand that..

Chand pal ke humsafar kuch aur sath chalte: Lyrics, Translation

Movie: Mod
Music: Tapas Relia
Lyrics: Mir Ali Husain
Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Shreya Ghoshal

Aadhi adhoori yeh dastaan thi
Abhi tamanna bhi bezubaan thi
Yeh pyaas dil ki bujhi kahan thi

This story was incomplete,
The wish was silent too..
This thirst of heart wasn't yet quenched..

Chand pal ke hamsafar kuch aur saath chalte
Do kadam hi sahi kuch aur saath chalte
Chand pal ke hamsafar kuch aur saath chalte

Co-travelers of a few moments should have walked a little together
Even for two moments, they should have walked together a little..

Hain tarasti yeh nigaahein
Dil bharta hai aahein
nahi koi chahat jo laut aaye
Jo laut aaye..

These eyes crave,
the heart sighs,
there is no love that returns,
that returns..

Tu kaid mein hai apni
Main bhi bandhi hoon
Tute hue insaan pe aakhir
Itna sitam kyun

You're in your captivity
I am tied too
Why so much atrocity
against broken people..

Haq tha mera jin par wahi
Ho.. hak tha mera jin par wahi
Khushiyaan bhi mujhe na mili

On which I had a right,
I didn't get those joys too..

Khushboo teri sanson ki
Faili yahan hai..
Jahan chaloon tera saya hai humdum
Par tu kahan hai
Manzil to thi bas do kadam
Haan..haan..
Manzil toh thi bus do kadam
Woh mod gaya hai kyun

Fragrance of your breath
is spread here..
Wherever I walk, your shadow is there, o companion,
but where are you..
The destination was just two steps away,
yeah, the destination was just two steps away,
then why is that turn gone (suddenly)..

Dhoop ke Sikke Lyrics, Translation (Sikandar)

Movie: Sikandar
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singers: Anusha Mani, Shankar Mahadevan

dhoop ke sikke utha kar gungunane do use
baingani kanche hatheli par sajaane do use
bholi bhaali bholi bhaali rehne do
zindagi ko zindagi ko behne do
behne do behne do behne do behne do

Let her pick the coins of sunshine n hum,
let her decorate the purple marbles on her palm,
let her remain innocent
let the life flow
let it flow...

barood jab bachcha tha
wo titli pakadta tha
wo amiya bhi churaata tha
patango par jhagadta tha
agar tum uska maanjha loot-te
wo kuchh nahi kehta
thoda naaraz to hota
magar phir bhi wo khush rehta
magar dhokhe se tumne uska
bachpan bhi to loota hai
zara dekho to uski aankh mein
wo kabse rootha hai
jugnuon ki roshni mein dil lagaane do use
dil lagaane do use

When gunpowder was a child,
it used to catch butterflies,
he used to steal raw mangoes,
and used to fight for kites,
if you were to loot his kite-rope
he wouldn't say anything,
he'd be a little angry,
but he would stay happy still..
but deceiving him, you have even-
looted his childhood,
just look into his eyes
(n find out) since how long is he angry..
in the light of fireflies,
let him put his heart.. (let him be happy in his own way)

bahut jaldi dupatte odhna
sikhla rahe hain hum
kyun zindagi ko raat se
milva rahe hain hum
wo palloo se chipak kar maa ki
chalti thi to achchi thi
akela chhodkar usko kya kehna chaah rahe hain hum
kya kehna chaah rahe hain hum
ek gehri neend se humko jagaane do use
jagaane do use

We are teaching to wrap shawls too soon
(i.e. we are being too strict with things)
why are we making life meet night
(i.e. showing the dark side of life to them)
she was good if she walked-
holding her mother's scraf*,
what are we trying to say leaving her alone,
what are we trying to say..
let us wake her up from a deep sleep..
let us wake her up..

dhoop ke sikke utha kar gungunane do use
baingani kanche hatheli par sajaane do use
bholi bhaali bholi bhaali rehne do
zindagi ko zindagi ko behne do
behne do behne do behne do behne do

Let her pick the coins of sunshine n hum,
let her decorate the purple marbles on her palm,
let her remain innocent
let the life flow
let it flow...

Khwab ko raag de: Lyrics, Translation (London Dreams)

Movie: London Dreams
Music: Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singer: Shankar Mahadevan, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan

Jo tujhe jagaye
Neendein teri udaaye
Khwab hai Sachcha wohi

The one that awakes you
that takes away your sleep
that only is a real dream

Neendon mein jo aaye
Jise tu bhool jaaye
Khwab woh sachcha nahin

The one which comes in your sleep
and which you forget
is not a real dream

Khwab ko raag de
Neend ko Aag de

Give the right tune (direction) to your dreams
Burn your sleep

Angaaron ko jagaaye
Koyalon sa jo gaaye
Khwab hai sachcha wohi

The one which awakens embers
And which sings like cuckoos
that alone is a real dream

Lehrein jo uthaaye
Paaniyon ko hilaaye
Khwab hai sachche wohi

One which produces waves
And moves waters (seas/oceans)
that only is a real dream

Khwab ko Raag de
Neend ko Aag de

Manzilon pe tyohaar hai
Lekin woh haar hai
Kya khushi apnon ke bin

It's festive time on your destination
But it is like losing as
There is no happiness without your beloved ones

Hai adhoori har jeet bhi
Sargam sangeet bhi
Adhoora hai apnon ke bin

Every victory is incomplete
and so is every song
Without your beloved ones

Khwabon ke baadal
Chhaane do lekin
Risthon ki lau ko bacha ke Barasna

Let the clouds of dreams cast
But while raining
keep the flame of your relationships protected

Kehti hain hawaayein
Choom le gagan ko
Pankhon ko khol do
chhod do Taras na

The winds say to you
Kiss the sky
open your wings,
and stop longing..

Khwab ko Raag de
Neend ko Aag de..

Kho na jaayen ye Taare Zameen par: Lyrics, Translation

Movie: Taare Zameen Par
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Lyrics: Prasoon Joshi
Singer: Shankar Mahadevan

dekho inhein yeh hain os ki boondein
patton ki god mein aasmaan se koodein
angdaayi lein phir karwat badal kar
nazuk se moti hans de phisal kar
kho na jaayen ye taare zameen par

look at them, they are like the drops of dew
that jumped on to leaves from the sky
they take change in their own ways
these gentle pearls slip and laugh
these stars shouldn't get lost on this earth..

yeh to hain sardi mein dhoop ki kirne
utarein jo aangan ko sunhera sa karne
mann ke aandheron ko roshan sa kar dein
thiturti hatheli ki rangat badal dein
kho na jaayen ye taare zameen par..

these are like the sunrays during winter
which descend to bring the golden light to your houses
they brighten up your gloomy hearts
they change the color of the shaking palms..
these stars shouldn't get lost on this earth..

jaise aankhon ki dibiya mein nindiya
aur nindiya mein meetha sa sapna
aur sapne mein mil jaaye farishta sa koi
jaise rangon bhari pichkari
jaise titliyan phoolon ki kyari
jaise bina matlab ka pyara rishta ho koi

like the sleep in the little box of eyes
and a sweet dream in your sleep
and you meet an angel in the dream..
like a pump filled with colors
like butterflies and a bed of flowers
like a lovely relationship without any demands..

yeh to aasha ki lehar hain
yeh to ummeed ki sehar hain
khushiyon ki nehar hain
kho na jaayen ye taare zameen par

these are a wave of hope
they are a dawn filled with optimism
they are a canal of happiness
these stars shouldn't get lost on this earth..

dekho raaton ke seene pe yeh toh
jhilmil kisi lau se uge hain
yeh to ambiya ki khushboo hain baagon se beh chale
jaise kaanch ke choodi ke tukde
jaise khile khile phoolon ke mukhde
jaise bansi koi bajaye pedon ke tale

look at how they have sprouted
like a flame on the night's chest
they are the fragrance of raw mango
which flows from the gardens
like the broken pieces of a glass bangle
like faces of fully blossomed flowers
like someone playing the flute below the trees

yeh to jhonke hain pawan ke
hain yeh ghungharoo jeewan ke
yeh to sur hain chaman ke
kho na jaayen ye taare zameen par

they are the gentle gusts of wind
they are the anklet bells of life
they are the tune of the garden
these stars shouldn't get lost on this earth..

mohalle ki raunak galiyan hain jaise
khilne ki zid par kaliyan hain jaise
mutthi mein mausam ki jaise hawayein
yeh hain buzurgon ke dil ki duayein

like the shining streets of the colony
like the the buds pestering to blossom
like the breeze in the fists of the weather
they are the blessings from the hearts of elders..

kabhi baatein jaise dadi nani
kabhi chalkein jaise mum mum paani
kabhi ban jaaye bhole sawaalon ki jhadi

sometimes they talk like our grandmothers
sometimes they spill like the lukewarm water
sometimes they become showers of innocent questions

sannate mein hansee ke jaise
soone hothon pe khushi ke jaise
yeh to noor hain barse gar teri kismat ho badi

like a laughter between silence
like joy on sad lips
they're divine light, they shower if your luck is good..

jaise jheel mein lehraye chanda
jaise bheed mein apne ka kandha
jaise manmauji nadiya jhaag udaye kuch kahe
jaise baithe meethi si jhapki
jaise pyar ki dheemi si thapki
jaise kaanon mein sargam hardam bajti hi rahe
kho na jaaye ye taare zameen par

like the moon drifts in a lake
like the shoulder of a loved one in a crowd
like the exuberant river spumes froth and says something
like a sweet nap while sitting
like an little slap full of love
like a melody always playing in ears..
these stars shouldn't get lost on this earth..

आई लव माई इंडिया - I Love My India (Pardes)

Movie/Album: परदेस (1997)
Music By: नदीम-श्रवण
Lyrics By: आनंद बक्षी

Performed By: हरिहरन, कविता कृष्णमूर्ति, शंकर महादेवन, आदित्य नारायण

लंदन देखा
पैरिस देखा
और देखा जापान
माईकल देखा, एल्विस देखा
सब देखा मेरी जान
सारे जग में कहीं नहीं है दूसरा हिंदुस्तान
दूसरा हिंदुस्तान

ये दुनिया एक दुल्हन
दुल्हन के माथे की बिंदिया
ये मेरा इंडिया
आई लव माई इंडिया

जब छेड़ा मल्हार किसी ने
झूमके सावन आया
आग लगा दी पानी में जब
दीपक राग सुनाया
सात सुरों का संगम ये जीवन गीतों की माला
हम अपने भगवान को भी कहते हैं बांसुरी वाला
ये मेरा इंडिया...

पीहू-पीहू बोले पपीहा, कोयल कूहू-कूहू गाये
हँसते, रोते, हमने जीवन के सब गीत बनाए
ये सारी दुनिया अपने-अपने गीतों को गाये
गीत वो गाओ जिससे इस मिटटी की खुश्बू आये
आई लव माई इंडिया...

वतन मेरा इंडिया
सजन मेरा इंडिया
करम मेरा इंडिया

धरम मेरा इंडिया

कन्धों से मिलते हैं कन्धे - Kandhon Se Milte Hain Kandhe (Lakshya)

Movie/Album: लक्ष्य (2004)

Music By: शंकर, एहसान, लॉय
Lyrics By: जावेद अख्तर
Performed By: शंकर महादेवन, सोनू निगम, हरिहरन, रूप कुमार राठोड, कुनाल गांजावाला, विजय प्रकाश

कन्धों से मिलते हैं कन्धे, क़दमों से क़दम मिलते हैं
हम चलते हैं जब ऐसे तो दिल दुश्मन के हिलते हैं
अब तो हमें आगे बढ़ते है रहना
अब तो हमें साथी है बस इतना ही कहना
अब जो भी हो शोला बनके पत्थर है पिघलाना
अब जो भी हो बादल बनके परबत पर है छाना

निकले हैं मैदां में हम जां हथेली पर लेकर
अब देखो दम लेंगे हम जा के अपनी मंजिल पर
खतरों से हंस के खेलना, इतनी तो हम में हिम्मत है
मोड़े कलाई मौत की, इतनी तो हम में ताक़त है
हम सरहदों के वास्ते लोहे की इक दीवार हैं
हम दुश्मनों के वास्ते होशियार हैं, तैयार हैं
अब जो भी हो...

जोश दिल में जगाते चलो, जीत के गीत गाते चलो
जीत की जो तस्वीर बनाने हम निकले हैं अपनी लहू से
हमको उसमें रंग भरना है
साथी मैंने अपने दिल में अब ये ठान लिया है
या तो अब करना है या तो अब मरना है
चाहे अंगारें बरसे के बिजली गिरे
तू अकेला नहीं होगा यारा मेरे
कोई मुश्किल हो या हो कोई मोर्चा
साथ हर मोड़ पर होंगे साथी तेरे
अब जो भी हो...

इक चेहरा अक्सर मुझे याद आता है
इस दिल को चुपके-चुपके वो तड़पाता है
जब घर से कोई भी ख़त आया है
कागज़ को मैंने भीगा-भीगा पाया है
पलकों पे यादों के कुछ दीप जैसे जलते हैं
कुछ सपने ऐसे हैं, जो साथ-साथ चलते हैं
कोई सपना न टूटे, कोई वादा न टूटे
तुम चाहो जिसे दिल से वो तुमसे ना रूठे
अब जो भी हो...

चलता है जो ये कारवाँ, गूंजी सी है ये वादियाँ
है ये ज़मीं, ये आसमां
है ये हवा, है ये समां
हर रस्ते ने, हर वादी ने हर परबत ने, सदा दी
हम जीतेंगे, हम जीतेंगे, हम जीतेंगे, हर बाज़ी
कन्धों से मिलते...

चलता है जो ये कारवाँ, गूंजी सी है, ये वादियाँ

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..

ik Junoon (Paint it red): Lyrics, Translation (ZNMD)

Movie: Zindagi na Milegi Dobara
Composer: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Vishal Dadlani, Ehsaan Noorani, Alyssa Mendonça, Gulraj Singh

Oo-Aa Take The World And Paint it Red
Oo-Aa Paint it Red

Ik junoon Ek Deewanagi
Har Taraf, Har Taraf
Bekhudi Bekhudi Bekhudi
Har Taraf, Har Taraf

A passion, a madness,
in every direction, everywhere,
intoxication,
in every direction, everywhere.

kahe Halke Halke, Yeh Rang Chhalke Chhalke
jo kisse Hai kal ke, Bhula De Tu
koi Haule Haule, Mere Dil Se Bole
kisi ka Toh Ho le, Chal jaane de koi jaadu

say slowly these spilling colors,
whatever stories are there from yesterday, forget them.
someone slowly says to my heart,
become at least someone's, let some magic work (on you)..

Oo-Aa Take The World And Paint it Red
Oo-Aa Paint it Red
Oo-Aa Take The World And Paint it Red
Oo-Aa Paint it Red

Ye pal jo bharpoor hain jo nashe mein choor hain
is pal ke daaman mein hain madhoshiyaan
ab to ye andaaz hai haathon haathon saaz hai
aawazon mein ghulti hain rangeeniyaan

these moments which are fulfilling, which are completely inebriated,
this moment holds intoxications,
now it seems (OR that's the style) every hand has a musical instrument,
colors are dissolved into sounds/voices..

kahe Halke Halke, Yeh Rang Chhalke Chhalke
jo kisse Hai kal ke, Bhula De Tu
koi Haule Haule, Mere Dil Se Bole
kisi ka Toh ho le, Chal jaane de koi jaadu

sab zanjeerein tod ke, saari uljhan chhod ke,
hum hain dil hai aur hai awaargi
kuch din se hum log par, aata hai sabko nazar,
aaya hai jo daur hai awaargi

breaking all chains, leaving all complications,
we're there, heart's there and there's vagrancy,
for a few days, the time that has come upon us-
everyone know, is vagrancy..

kahe Halke Halke, Yeh Rang Chhalke Chhalke
jo kisse Hai kal ke, Bhula De Tu
koi Haule Haule, Mere Dil Se Bole
kisi ka Toh ho le, Chal jaane de koi jaadu

Oo-Aa Take The World And Paint it Red
Oo-Aa Paint it Red
Oo-Aa Take The World And Paint it Red
Oo-Aa Paint it Red

Kab tak ginein hum dhadkanein Lyrics, Translation (ZNMD)

Song: Dil Dhadakne do
Movie: Zindagi na Milegi Dobara
Composer: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Singers: Shankar Mahadevan, Suraj Jagan, Joi Barua

Hey Hey, Chalo Na
Dhoondhein Shehar Naya
Jahaan Muskurahatein Hain Bikhri
Jahaan Se Gham Ka Mausam Gaya
Jahaan Meethi Baatein, Har ek Ajnabi Se Hon
Bhoole Hum Bhi Jo Saari Fikrein
Lamha Lamha Khushiyan Bikhrein
Idhar Udhar Aur Yahaan-Wahaan
Jaayein Wahin, Dil Kahe Jahaan
Baby Baby Baby...

hey hey, let's go,
let's find some new city,
where smiles are spread,
from where the weather of sorrow is gone,
where there are sweet talks with every stranger,
we too'd forget all our worries,
every moment there be happiness,
here n there, this way n that,
we'd go wherever the heart says,
baby baby baby...

Kab Tak Ginein, Hum Dhadkanein
Dil Jaise Dhadke Dhadakne Do
Kyun Hai Koi Aag Dabi
Shola Jo Bhadke Bhadakne Do

how long should we count the heartbeats,
let the heart beat as it wishes to..
why there be a fire suppressed,
let the fireball flare up if it wants to..

Hey Hey, Chalo Na
Gaayein Naye Naye Geet
Khel Aisa Kyun Na Koi Khelein jisme Sab hi Ki Ho Jeet
In Dino Phool Aur Taare, Koi Bhi Dekhta Nahin
Dekhein Unko Deewane Hoke, Koi Kitna Bhi Humko Toke
Khuli Hawa Ho Khula Samaa
Jaage Hue Hon Sab Armaan
Baby Baby Baby...

hey hey, let's go,
let's sing new songs,
why not play a game where everyone wins
nowdays nobody watches flowers and stars
let's watch them madly, whoever says whatever to stop us,
let it be open air and open time,
all the wishes be alive,
baby baby baby..

Kab Tak Ginein, Hum Dhadkanein
Dil Jaise Dhadke Dhadakne Do
Kyun Hai Koi Aag Dabi
Shola Jo Bhadke Bhadakne Do


Humse Dil Ne Kahin Jo Baatein, Aao Maan Lein
Jis Pe Chalta Nahin Hai Koi Raah Woh Chalein
Thodi Aawargi Ho, Thodi Thodi Madhoshiyaan Ho Baby
Hum Ho Tum Ho, Baby Tell Me

the things that the heart has said to us, let us go with them
walk on such a path that no one takes,
let there be some vagrancy, some intoxication, o baby..
let there be me and you, baby tell me..

Kab Tak Ginen, Hum Dhadkanen
Dil Jaise Dhadke Dhadakne Do
Kyun Hai Koi Aag Dabi
Shola Jo Bhadke Bhadakne Do
