Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye Lyrics from Pyaasa Translated

 

Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye: Translation and Explanation  

Meta Description:  Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye is a Bollywood classic song from Guru Dutt’s Pyaasa.  Enjoy the poetic translation of this Mohammed Rafi Sahir Ludhianvi combine.

Setting the Background for Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye

 

Vijay (Guru Dutt) is an idealistic but unsuccessful poet who is befriended by Gulabo (Waheeda Rehman), a prostitute. Meanwhile, Vijay’s former girlfriend, Meena (Mala Sinha), has married Ghosh (Rehman), a wealthy publisher. Vijay is presumed dead after a beggar to whom he had given his coat is found killed in a train accident. Vijay, who was in the same train, has survived and is recovering in a hospital. Ghosh, believing him dead, posthumously publishes Vijay’s poems and makes a considerable profit. The supposedly “dead” Vijay appears at a memorial service held in his honour. It is at this moment in the narrative of Pyaasa that Vijay sings Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye.

 

About the Song

 

Vijay is already in a state of despair at the beginning of the film, but by the end his frustration has broken through every remaining barrier. The woman he loved has chosen money over him. His only true friend is Gulabo, a prostitute living on the margins of respectable society. His poetry finds no buyers while he is alive, yet after he is presumed dead, the same poems become a commercial success, making a huge profit for someone else. And when Vijay returns from the dead, he is not welcomed with joy but treated as an inconvenient obstacle that must be removed as quickly as possible.

 

Ye Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye is therefore a profoundly nihilistic song. In Sahir’s masterful lyrics, Vijay’s personal anguish expands into a sweeping indictment of a corrupt, materialistic and hypocritical society. The song compresses disillusionment, anger, contempt, despair and finally renunciation—into a series of hard-hitting lines.

 

In the song’s climactic declaration, “Tumhari hai, tum hi sambhalo ye duniya” (“It is yours; you take care of this world”), Vijay rejects the fame and wealth that should have been his, leaving them to the manipulators and hypocrites. Turning his back on the world he has come to despise; he walks away with Gulabo to begin a new life.

 

The English Translation of the Lyrics of Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye To Kya Hai

 

Of palaces of crowns

Of gold thrones is this world

The enemy of man

It’s known to all this world

Of palaces of crowns

Of gold thrones is this world

The enemy of man

It’s known to all this world

Driven by greed and greed

Alone is this world

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

 

Where each body’s decayed

Where each soul unsated

Every mind is confused

Every heart deflated

By fear that grips mankind

All are inundated

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

 

Here every human being

Is just like a puppet

Only after they’re dead

Do people get respect

Here death is acknowledged

But to life they object

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

If I should ever find

This world then what of it


Where youth is lost in lust

In fleeting, cheap desires

Where beauty graces brothels

Awaiting wanton buyers

Where love is bought and sold

By charlatans and liars

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

If I should ever find

This world then what of it


This world where human life

Means nothing, has no worth,

This world where human life

Means nothing, has no worth,

Where friendship has no value,

Loyalty’s lost on earth.

This world where human life

Means nothing, has no worth,

Where friendship has no value,

Loyalty’s lost on earth.

Where even love’s become

A matter just for mirth

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

If I should ever find

This world then what of it



Yes torch it and scorch it

Incinerate this world

Yes torch it and scorch it

Yes torch it and scorch it

Incinerate this world

Sweep it from my sight

Just terminate this world

This world belongs to you

So orchestrate this world

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

If I should ever find

This world then what of it

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Yeh Duniya Agar Mil Bhi Jaye

 

This world of these palaces, of these thrones, of these crowns

This world of societies that are enemies of humanity

This world of rituals that are greedy for wealth

If this world is even found then so what

 

Every body is wounded, every soul is thirsty

Confusion in the gazes, sadness in the hearts

Is this a world or an environment of fear

If this world is even found then so what

 

Where human existence is like a toy

This community is one that respects people after they die

Here death is cheaper than life

If this world is even found then so what


Adolescence roams becoming sinful

Beautiful bodies adorn the brothels

Here love is engaged in as if its commerce

If this world is even found then so what


This world where a human is nothing

Loyalty is nothing, friendship is nothing

Here there is no respect even for love

If this world is even found then so what

 

Burn it, smoke this world

Remove this world from my presence

This is yours, you only take care of this world

If this world is even found then so what

Lahu Munh Lag Gaya Translation of Holi Song from Ram-Leela

 

Lahu Munh Lag Gaya: Poetic Translation of Ram-Leela Holi Song

Meta Description:  Ram-Leela is a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film based on Romeo and Juliet. Lahu Munh Lag Gaya is a passionate Holi song. Enjoy the poetic translation and explanation.

Setting the Background for Translating Lahu Munh Lag Gaya

 

Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, is based on William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. The two feuding clans are the Rajadis and the Saneras: Ram (Ranveer Singh) belongs to the Rajadi clan, while Leela (Deepika Padukone) is a Sanera. They have obviously heard of each other, but their first actual encounter takes place during the Saneras’ Holi celebrations, which Ram gate-crashes.


 This happens early in the narrative. Ram and Leela’s first interaction begins as a confrontation: they reject, taunt and tease each other, but a kiss and a wink from Leela suddenly transforms their hostility into flirtation. It is at this moment that Lahu Munh Lag Gaya begins in the background.


Holi is the perfect setting for this encounter. The festival brings colour, sensuality, physical proximity and, above all, a temporary licence to cross boundaries that would ordinarily be unthinkable because of the feud between their families. In this respect, the sequence corresponds closely to the first meeting of Romeo and Juliet at the Capulet ball, which Bhansali is adapting here. The picturisation is particularly effective because the lyrics are in constant dialogue with the gestures, glances and physical movements of the two characters.

 

Translating “Lahu Munh Lag Gaya”

 

The phrase “Lahu munh lag gaya” literally means “blood has touched the mouth” or “blood has been tasted.” Its deeper sense comes from the image of a predator tasting human blood for the first time and thereafter developing an irresistible appetite for it. Here, the metaphor suggests that once Ram has experienced this sudden intimacy with Leela, he is hooked and he can no longer simply walk away from her.

 

My first reaction was that translating the phrase literally would sound too brutal in English, and I toyed with something softer, such as “blame it on the season.” But that would lose something important. The image of blood is deliberately provocative, and the metaphor of blood runs through the song. It conveys the sudden awakening of desire far more powerfully than a conventional romantic expression would.

 

I would therefore be reluctant to soften it too much. If you have a better way of capturing both the sensuality and the slightly dangerous edge of “Lahu munh lag gaya”, please share it in the comments.

 

 
The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Lahu Munh Lag Gaya

 

Glides, glides, the mind glides

Takes wings, longs to be by your side

The mind soars, the feet guide

You they seek to find

Leave the world behind

 

Tasted blood on the tongue

Tasted blood on the tongue

Passions that lay dormant

Now have arisen

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

Dreams that kindle desire

Lips that set them on fire

Dreams that kindle desire

Lips that set them on fire

Gave all the slip through the lips

To the veins one by one

 

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

 

Eyes roam hither and thither

Carefree free free free

My breath is intertwined with her

Completely lee lee lee

 

Flowing merrily

Glowing steadily

Flowing merrily

Glowing steadily

Captured my heart now I’m undone

 

Through the lips O through the lips

Tasted blood on the tongue

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

Tasted blood on the tongue

 

Passions that lay dormant

Now have arisen

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

Dreams that kindle desire

Lips that set them on fire

Dreams that kindle desire

Lips that set them on fire

Through the lips O through the lips

Tasted blood on the tongue

 

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

O! Tasted blood on the tongue

 
The Original Hindi Lyrics of Lahu Munh Lag Gaya from Ram-Leela

 

Ude ude mann ude

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Lahu Munh Lag Gaya

 

The mind flies

Gets wings and joins with you

The mouth has tasted blood

It (blood) was sleeping in the veins

Now it has woken up

The lips having touched it

From the corner of the dreams

Escaping from all, from the lips

It went from vein to vein

 

This eye is wandering

Carefree

Breath has got stuck with her

Company

It flows with a gurgling sound

It stays sparkling

I don’t know when it took my life and went

Translation of Hua Shankhnaad Title Track of Dassehra Movie

 

Hua Shankhnaad – Kailash Kher Song Translated and Explained  

Meta Description:  Hua Shankhnaad is the title track of Dassehra. This veer rasa song is rendered by Kailash Kher and features Neil Nitin Mukesh. Enjoy the powerful translation.



Setting the Background for Translating Hua Shankhnaad

 

Dassehra (2018) is a Bollywood film in the familiar genre in which an honest individual is forced by circumstances to take on a corrupt establishment. DSP Rudra Pratap Singh Chauhan (played by Neil Nitin Mukesh) finds his investigations thwarted at every turn by those in power. When his wife and colleague, SP Aditi Rudra Pratap Singh, is killed, Rudra takes on the role of a one-man army and sets out to eradicate the corrupt system at its roots.

 

In the film, the culmination of Rudra’s mission takes place on Dassehra, the day traditionally associated with Rama’s slaying of Ravana and therefore with the triumph of good over evil. Hua Shankhnaad, which opens with the blowing of the conch to announce the commencement of battle, ends with an invocation of victory on Dassehra. It is for this reason that the song is also referred to as the film’s “title track.” Along the way, it contains several references to the Ramayana, as well as one to the Mahabharata, all of which are explained in the meanings.

 

Hua Shankhnaad belongs to the veer rasa tradition and consequently has a powerful, martial beat. The original achieves much of its force through consistent internal and end rhymes built around recurring sounds. In my translation, I have sacrificed the internal rhymes, while allowing the end-rhyme pattern to vary from verse to verse. This was necessary to keep the poetic translation as close in meaning and imagery to the original as possible, while retaining its martial character and singability.

 

 

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Hua Shankhnaad

 

 

The conch has sounded, take up arms, challenge them, yours is the field

The enemy hosts surround you now, blood soak the earth but do not yield

 

Here beasts look on with vulture eyes, they pierce your hearts with spikes of fear

The clouds lie hidden in night’s dark veil, the altar prepared, and the goal is clear

 

Where deceit masquerades as power, misdeeds protect the unsavoury

Strike down the foe, let heads roll free, unfurl the flag of your victory

 

Sky high burns the flame in Dassehra, end evil’s reign in Dassehra,

Justice itself is Dassehra, victory is the aim of Dassehra

 

There was a Rama in Treta Yuga

One Ravana fell beneath his hand

This dark age breeds countless Ravanas

Rama was reborn to cleanse the land

 

The conch has sounded, take up arms, challenge them, yours is the field

The enemy hosts surround you now, blood soak the earth but do not yield

 

Ravana in the guise of man does

Lakshman’s protective line transgress

Then Rama, Sita awaits your coming

In each age when she is in distress

 

The conch has sounded, take up arms, challenge them, yours is the field

The enemy hosts surround you now, blood soak the earth but do not yield

The enemy hosts surround you now, blood soak the earth but do not yield

 

Now do this much for me

Vanquish the enemy

Guarantee my safety

Do save me do save me

 

Let goodness bear its fruit

Wicked you execute

Enemy you uproot

The enemy the enemy

 

Yaksha asks a timeless question

When shall sin be trampled on

Rama’s patience is on its edge

Ten-headed Ravana will be gone

 

Now rage surges through the blood

Evil shall burn and not endure

Rama has now drawn his bowstring

Ravana’s death is written for sure

 

The conch has sounded, take up arms, challenge them, yours is the field

The enemy hosts surround you now, blood soak the earth but do not yield

 

Here beasts look on with vulture eyes, they pierce your hearts with spikes of fear

The clouds lie hidden in night’s dark veil, the altar prepared, and the goal is clear

 

Where deceit masquerades as power, misdeeds protect the unsavoury

Kill the enemy, let the heads roll, unfurl the flag of your victory

 

Sky high burns the flame in Dassehra, end evil’s reign in Dassehra,

Justice itself is Dassehra, victory is the aim of Dassehra

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Hua Shankhnaad from Dassehra

 

Hua Shankhnaad Hai, Shastra Utha, Kar Aahwan, Ran Kshetra Tera 
Chahu Oar Vyuha Mein Tu Hai Ghira, Bana Laal Dhara, Tu Shaurya Dikha

Hai Ram Tera Rasta Dekha


Hua Shankhnaad Hai, Shastra Utha, Kar Aahwan, Ran Kshetra Tera 
Chahu Oar Vyuha Mein Tu Hai Ghira, Bana Laal Dhara, Tu Shaurya Dikha

 

Itna To Tu Kaam Kar De
Khel Tamam Kar De
Ab Traahi Maam Kar De
Traahi Maam Traahi Maam

 

Sheesh Gira De Dhad Se
Taap Bujha De Tad Se
Shatru Mita De Jad Se
Shatru Mita Shatru Mita

 

Puchh Raha Hai Yaksh Prashna Ye
Paap Ka Mardan Kab Hoga?
Toot Raha Hai Dhairya Ram Ka
Bhasam Dashanan Ab Hoga

 

Khaul Raha Aakrosh Rakt Mein
Paap Dahan Ho Jaavega Re
Taan Diyo Ab Baan Ram Ne
Raavan Bach Na Paavega

 

Hua Shankhnaad Hai, Shastra Utha, Kar Aahwan, Ran Kshetra Tera 
Chahu Oar Vyuha Mein Tu Hai Ghira, Bana Laal Dhara, Tu Shaurya Dikha

 

Yahaan Dusht Giddh Sa Taad Raha, Bhay Keel Hriday Mein Gaad Raha
Ghane Andhkar Mein Gum Hai Chhata, Balivedi Saji, Gatirodh Hata

 

Chhal, Bal, Varchasva Ne Swaang Bhara, Dushkaram Adharma Ka Hai Pehra
Kar Shatru Hanan, Nar-Mund Gira, Dhwaj Apni Vijay Ka Tu Lehra

 

Jale Agni Shikha Sa Dussehra, Unmaad Krodh Ka Dussehra
Yehi Parv Nyay Ka Dussehra, Hai Lakshya Vijay Ka Dussehra

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Hua Shankhnaad

 

The conch has been sounded, take up arms, this is your battle field

You are surrounded on all sides by battle formations, redden the earth, show your valour

 

Here the evil stare at you like vultures (getting ready for a feast), they drive fear like a nail into your heart

The clouds are lost in the darkness, the sacrificial altar is adorned, remove the obstacles

 

Deceit, power, domination mock (the innocent), evil deeds guard immorality

Kill the enemy, cut off the heads, unfurl the flag of your victory

There was a Rama in Treta Yuga

He killed one Ravana then

In this age there are hundreds of Ravanas

So, Rama has taken incarnation again

 

Ravana in the guise of man

Is transgressing the Lakshman Rekha

In every age the distressed Sita

Has waited for Rama

Do this much work

Finish the game (by destroying evil)

Now save me

Save me save me

 

Lop off the head from the body

Extinguish the heat instantly

Eliminate the enemy from the roots

Eliminate the enemy eliminate the enemy

 

The Yaksh is asking this question

When will sin be crushed?

Rama is losing his patience

Dashanan will now be burnt to ash

(This relates to an effigy of Ravana being burnt on Dassehra Day)

 

Rage is boiling in the blood

Sin will be burnt

Rama has strung an arrow now

Ravana will not be saved
