Tere Bina Zindagi Translation of Gulzar hit song from Aandhi

 Tere Bina Zindagi – Translation of Duet Song from Aandhi

Meta Description:  Tere Bina Zindagi is a Bollywood hit song from Gulzar’s movie Aandhi. It got embroiled in a political controversy. Enjoy the rhythmic English translation.

The Political Controversy Surrounding Aandhi

The film was alleged to be inspired by the life of Indira Gandhi, particularly focusing on her estrangement from her husband, Firoz Gandhi. As a result, the Indian National Congress, which was in power at the time, banned the movie on various grounds. Aandhi was eventually released only after a change in the political landscape.

 

The story revolves around J.K. and Aarti Devi, a married couple who have been living separately for a decade due to Aarti's political ambitions. Their paths cross again during a political convention held at J.K.'s hotel, where they share poignant moments of connection, fully aware that they will soon part ways once more, each continuing their separate journeys. The song Tere Bina Zindagi encapsulates the sense of the movie.

The Difficulties in Translating Tere Bina Zindagi

Most of Gulzar's songs are challenging to translate, and Tere Bina Zindagi is among the most difficult. It largely lacks a traditional rhyme scheme, with the few instances of rhyme being very subtle. To convey the song's underlying rhythm and mood effectively, I have chosen to set aside this aspect. This approach has enabled me to capture in translation the nuanced content of the song accurately, without resorting to transcreation.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Tere Bina Zindagi 

Lata Mangeshkar

There isn’t any grievance in life, without you, there isn’t

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

There isn’t any exuberance, without you, there isn’t

No exuberance

No exuberance

No exuberance

There is no grievance in life without you

 

If only it was that your footsteps could

Guide us to a haven, somewhere else far away

If only it was that your footsteps could

Guide us to a haven, somewhere else far away

If you are with me, scarcity of places there isn’t

There isn’t any grievance in life, without you, there isn’t

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

 

I really feel like nestling my head in

Your arms, in your arms, and start crying, and keep crying

I really feel like nestling my head in

Your arms, in your arms, and start crying, and keep crying

And even in your eyes, there’s moistness of tears, there isn’t?

Kishore Kumar

There isn’t any grievance in life, without you, there isn’t

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

There isn’t any exuberance, without you, there isn’t

No exuberance

No exuberance

No exuberance

 

If you ask it, then for tonight

The full moon will not set, let the night freeze

If you ask it, then for tonight

The full moon will not set, let the night freeze

After this night, there’s no togetherness, there isn’t

There isn’t any grievance in life, without you, there isn’t

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

There is no grievance

There isn’t any exuberance, without you, there isn’t

No exuberance

No exuberance

No exuberance

There is no grievance in life without you

Arijit Singh

Met the sun in the sand
And the sea in the night
And we're feeling alright
Yeah, we're feeling alright

 

Let not a single second expire

For some mischief let us conspire

In our few waking moments

Let us fulfil a lifetime’s desire

 

Eternal commitments are insane

Let the unfulfilled promises remain

Whether its wrong or whether its right

Let us be lovers for one night

O you danced in gay abandon

That anklets broke away

That anklets broke away

 

Shilpa Rao

Of all shame and shyness shorn

O I danced in gay abandon

Such idle talks have no meaning for me

One moment with you feels like eternity

Then we will never each other see

Of all shame and shyness shorn

We want to love tonight tomorrow we’ll be free

Consumed by you for that one instant

Devotion till the end is not for me

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Ghungroo from War (2019)

Met the sun in the sand
And the sea in the night
And we're feeling alright
Yeah, we're feeling alright

 

Kyun lamhe kharab karein
Aa galti behisab karein
Do pal ki jo neend udi
Aa poore saare khwaab karein

 

Kya karne hai umron ke waade
Ye jo rehte hain rehne de aadhe
Do baar nahi ik baar sahi
Ik raat ki kar le tu yaari

 

Subah tak maan ke meri baat
Tu aise zor se naachi aaj
Ki ghungroo toot gaye
Ki ghungroo toot gaye

Chhod ke saare sharm aur laaj
Main aise zor se naachi aaj
Ki ghungroo toot gaye
Ki ghungroo toot gaye

 

Dil lena dil dena zaroori nahi hai
In baaton ke siva bhi baatein kai hai
Ek lamhein se zyada ki khwaish nahi hai
Phir chaahe dobara na milna kahi
Mere sapne nahi seedhe saadhe
Hai galat fehmiyan to mita de
Do baar nahi ek baar sahi
Ek raat ki kar le tu yaari

Subah tak maan ke meri baat
Tu aise zor se naachi aaj
Ke ghungroo toot gaye
Ke ghungroo toot gaye

Chhod ke saare sharm aur laaj
Main aise zor se naachi aaj
Ke ghungroo toot gaye
Ke ghungroo toot gaye

Ishq hai aaj bas kal karna bhi nahi

Dil mein theherna to hai par utarna bhi nahi

Mitna bhi hai kuchh der ke liye

Puri umar tumpe marna bhi nahi
Kya karne hai umron ke waade
Ye jo rehte hain rehne de aadhe
Do baar nahi ik baar sahi
Ik raat ki kar le tu yaari

Subah tak maan ke meri baat
Tu aise zor se naachi aaj
Ki ghungroo toot gaye
Ki ghungroo toot gaye

Chhod ke saare sharm aur laaj
Main aise zor se naachi aaj
Ke ghungroo toot gaye
Ke ghungroo toot gaye

Toot gaye
Ke ghungroo toot gaye

Toot gaye
Ke ghungroo toot gaye

Morani Baaga Ma English Translation of Hit Song from Lamhe

 Morani Baaga Ma – English Translation of Sridevi Hit Song

Meta Description:  Morani Baaga Ma is a hit song from Yash Chopra Bollywood blockbuster Lamhe.  The folk music based Hindi movie song is also popular as Chudiyaan Khanak Gayi.

Setting the Context for Morani Baaga Ma

Morani Baaga Ma is inspired by a traditional Rajasthani folk song. The track features Ila Arun performing one verse of the original song, followed by Lata Mangeshkar's rendition of the Hindi translation for Sridevi. This creates a delightful fusion of folk and Bollywood music.

 

The song captures the timeless theme of unrequited love. It tells the story of a heartbroken woman whose lover has left her. In her solitude, the haunting mating call of the peacocks at night stirs her repressed desires, deepening her pain of loneliness and longing.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Morani Baaga Ma

Moinuddin

In my Rajasthan you won’t find any mustard fields

But the sand of my desert the sparkle of gold yields

Sparkle of gold yields

 

A dagger pierces through my heart when

A dagger pierces through my heart when

My heart when

At night the peacock calls out to his peahen

At night the peacock calls out to his peahen

A dagger pierces through my heart when

My heart when

 

Lata Mangeshkar

The peahen calls out to its mate late in the night

The peahen calls out to its mate late in the night

The tinkling of quivering

The tinkling of quivering bangles my passions excite

My bangles keep tinkling in delight

The peahen calls out to its mate late in the night

 

Ila Arun

My embarrassment compels me to go hide somewhere

Everybody has heard of my torrid love affair

 

Lata Mangeshkar

My embarrassment compels me to go hide somewhere

Everybody has heard of my torrid love affair

Now from gossip there never will be any respite

Be any respite

The tinkling of quivering

The tinkling of quivering bangles my passions excite

My bangles keep tinkling in delight

The peahen calls out to its mate late in the night

 

Ila Arun

I keep calling to my lover but he never comes to meet me

Then I glance at the moon and shed tears silently

And shed tears silently

 

Lata Mangeshkar

At an ill-fated moment my lover ran away

I burned in my veil while it rained night and day

At an ill-fated moment my lover ran away

I burned in my veil while it rained night and day

My desires unquenched through the showers outside

The showers outside

The tinkling of quivering

The tinkling of quivering bangles my passions excite

My bangles keep tinkling in delight

The peahen calls out to its mate late in the night

 

Ila Arun

I lay awake alone all night on our marital bed

My sleep disappeared my mind filled with dread

 

Lata Mangeshkar

I lay awake alone all night on our marital bed

My sleep disappeared my mind filled with dread

My peace of mind also with you took flight

With you took flight

The tinkling of quivering

The tinkling of quivering bangles my passions excite

My bangles keep tinkling in delight

 

 

Ila Arun

I have not translated this last verse recited by Ila Arun because I could not find the correct meanings for some of the Rajasthani words. My profuse thanks and a mention in the credits are waiting for the person who provides the right translation.

mera chain bhi gaya re tere saath ma

tere saath ma

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Morani Baaga Ma

My poetic English translation has involved a fair bit of transcreation, so the literal English translation of the lyrics is in order.

 

 

mhaare rajasthan maa sarson ko nahin khet

there are no mustard (golden colour) fields in my Rajasthan

 

sona si chamake pan mhaari registan ri ret

but the sands of my desert sparkle like gold

 

mhaare hivade mein begai re kataar re

A dagger has pierced my heart

 

morio achhare bolyo re dhalti raat maa

the peacock’s call was heard in in the garden in the waning night

 

morani baaga ma bole aadhi raat ma

the peahen calls in the garden in the middle of the night

 

chhananachhan chudiyaan khanak gayi dekh saahibaan
my lover, see my bangles have started tinkling

 

chudiyaan khanak gayi haath ma

the bangles have started tinkling on my wrist

 

main to laaj ke maare, ho gayi pani pani

I was embarrassed to the utmost

 

sab loga ne sun li mhaari prem kahani

everyone heard of my love affair

 

munhase baat nikal gayi baat baat maa,

I accidentally spoke about my affair

 

sajan sajan main karahun mera sajan milane na aave

I keep calling my lover but he does not meet me

 

jab dekhun chand ri or main, mere naina neh barsaave

when I glance at the moon my eyes start shedding tears

 

jaane kaun ghadi mein nikale saajan gharase

I don’t know at which ill-fated moment my lover left home

 

main ghunghat mein jal gayi kitane savan barase

a number of monsoon seasons passed but I kept burning within my veil

 

meri pyaas na bujhi re barasaat maa,

the rains could not quench my desire

 

suni sej pe saiyaan sari raat main jaagi

my love, I lay awake on our desolate bed all night

 

thaare laare laare mhaari neend bhi bhaagi

my sleep left with you

 

mera chain bhi gaya re tere saath ma

my peace of mind also left with you

 

o re dhola

o my lover

 

mhaari chhaati dukhe

my heart aches

 

re dhola mat ja aa aa

my lover do not go

Aye Meri Zohrajabeen English Translation of Lyrics from Waqt

 

Aye Meri Zohrajabeen – English Translation of Waqt Qawwali

Meta Description:  Aye Meri Zohrajabeen is a Bollywood qawwali from Waqt. The song features Balraj Sahni and Achala Sachdev. Enjoy the English translation to the Qawwali beat.

Aye Meri Zohrajabeen as a Bollywood Qawwali

Traditionally, qawwalis are performed as contests between two teams. In Aye Meri Zohrajabeen, although two teams are featured, the singing is exclusively performed by the male, while the female ensemble plays the musical instruments. The song retains the staccato rhythm and characteristic gestures of the traditional qawwali.

 

Released in 1965, Waqt is a multi-starrer film that embodies the classic Bollywood theme of lost and found. Aye Meri Zohrajabeen is showcased at the film's outset, before tragedy strikes and the family is torn apart. The performances by Balraj Sahni, portraying the affluent businessman Kedarnath, and Achala Sachdev as his wife, evoke a nostalgic era when romance was an art form—men displayed bravado while women exuded coy charm.

Waqt in Filmfare Awards 1966

Waqt featured prominently in the 13^th Filmfare Awards held in 1966, wining the maximum number of Black Ladies. Though no awards were won for Aye Meri Zohrajabeen, there were plenty of trophies and nominations.

The Karaoke English Translation of the Lyrics of Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye 

Somewhere far in the fading daylight

Evening coyly waits for the night

Quiet as a sprite

 

Somewhere far in the fading daylight

Evening coyly waits for the night

Quiet as a sprite

Into the courtyard of my musings

He comes to set my dreams alight

Dreams alight

 

Somewhere far in the fading daylight

Evening coyly waits for the night

Quiet as a sprite

 

Sometimes the mind is burdened with fears

And eyes on their own get filled with tears

 

Sometimes the mind is burdened with fears

And eyes on their own get filled with tears

A warm loving touch that matters much

I feel on my shoulder but no one’s in sight

No one’s in sight

 

Somewhere far in the fading daylight

Evening coyly waits for the night

Quiet as a sprite

 

Sometimes kindred souls stay apart

Sometimes unknown connections start

 

Sometimes kindred souls stay apart

Sometimes unknown connections start

Complex is the game the mind is to blame

Leaves our own and bears others’ plight

Others’ plight

 

Somewhere far in the fading daylight

Evening coyly waits for the night

Quiet as a sprite

 

My deep secrets are known to my heart

How my dreams bloomed into works of art

 

My deep secrets are known to my heart

How my dreams bloomed into works of art

The dreams I have known are all that I own

Even their shadows from me will not disunite

Will not disunite

 

Somewhere far in the fading daylight

Evening coyly waits for the night

Quiet as a sprite

Into the courtyard of my musings

He comes to set my dreams alight

Dreams alight

 

Somewhere far in the fading daylight

Evening coyly waits for the night

Quiet as a sprite

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Kahin Door Jab Din Dhal Jaaye from Anand

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye
sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye
chupke se aaye

 

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye
sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye
chupke se aaye

mere khayaalon ke aangan mein
koi sapnon ke deep jalaaye

deep jalaaye

 

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye
sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye
chupke se aaye

 

kabhi yun hi jab hui bojhal saansen
bhar aai baithe baithe jab yun hi aankhen

 

kabhi yun hi jab hui bojhal saansen
bhar aai baithe baithe jab yun hi aankhen

kabhi machal ke pyar se chal ke
chhuye koi mujhe par nazar na aaye

nazar na aaye

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye
sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye
chupke se aaye

 

kahin to yeh dil kabhi mil nahin paate
kahin pe nikal aaye janmon ke naate

 

kahin to yeh dil kabhi mil nahin paate
kahin pe nikal aaye janmon ke naate

ghani thi uljhan bairi apna man

apna hi hoke sahe dard paraaye

dard paraaye

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye
sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye
chupke se aaye

 

dil jane mere sare bhed ye gahre
ho gaye kaise mere sapne sunhare

 

dil jane mere sare bhed ye gahre
ho gaye kaise mere sapne sunhare

ye mere sapne yahi to he apne
mujse juda na honge inke ye saaye

inke ye saaye

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye
sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye
chupke se aaye

mere khayaalon ke aangan mein
koi sapnon ke deep jalaaye

deep jalaaye

 

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye
sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye
chupke se aaye

Literal Translation of Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli

kahin door jab din dhal jaaye

somewhere far when the day ends

sanjh ki dulhan badan churaaye

the evening bride plays hard to get

chupke se aaye

comes quietly

 

mere khayaalon ke aangan mein

in the courtyard of my thoughts

koi sapnon ke deep jalaaye

someone lights the lamps of my dreams

 

kabhi yun hi jab hui bojhal saansen

sometimes just like that when the breaths are heavy

 

bhar aai baithe baithe jab yun hi aankhen

eyes are filled with tears for no reason

 

kabhi machal ke pyar se chal ke

sometimes with unease sometimes with love

chhuye koi mujhe par nazar na aaye

someone touches me but cannot be seen

 

kahin to yeh dil kabhi mil nahin paate

sometimes these hearts are unable to meet

 

kahin pe nikal aaye janmon ke naate

sometimes we find relationships that are generations old

 

ghani thi uljhan bairi apna man

complexities are deep but our mind is at fault

 

apna hi hoke sahe dard paraaye

despite being our own it shares the pain of others

 

dil jane mere sare bhed ye gahre

my heart knows all my deep secrets

 

ho gaye kaise mere sapne sunhare

how my dreams fructified

 

ye mere sapne yahi to he apne

my these dreams they are only what I own

mujse juda na honge inke ye saaye

even their shadows will not part from me
