Prem Parbat - Yeh Dil Aur Unki

Prem Parbat – Yeh Dil Aur Unki

This is a gem of a song from a forgettable movie. Written by Jan Nisar Akhtar (father of Javed Akhtar), music by Jaidev and sung by Lata Mangeshkar, it could not have better credentials. It was performed on screen by Rehana Sultana, an actress far ahead of her era. The song is mesmerizing and captures the bond between love and nature. The translation aims to bring alive the essence and poetry.

Yeh dil aur unki nigaahon ke saaye
Mujhe gher lete hain baahon ke saaye

Pahaadon ko chanchal kiran chumatee hai
Hawaa har nadee kaa badan chumatee hai
Yahaa se wahaa tak, hain chaahon ke saaye

Lipate ye pedon se baadal ghanere
Ye pal pal ujaale, ye pal pal andhere
Bahot thande thande, hain raahon ke saaye

Dhadakate hain dil kitanee aazaadeeyon se
Bahot milate julate hain in waadiyon se
Mohabbat kee rangeen panaahon ke saaye

Poetic English Translation of Yeh Dil Aur Unki

My heart finds delight in my lover’s warm gaze

I want to cuddle up in his arms’ embrace

The mountain peaks are kissed by the sun’s fickle rays

On every river the flirtatious wind sashays

My passions transcend beyond the limits of space

The clouds and the tree tops are entwined in embrace 

See the patterns of light as the foliage sways

There’s nothing more refreshing than these sheltered ways

This freedom makes my heart beat at a frenzied pace

It merges with the beauty that nature displays

With vibrant hues desire’s coloured canopy is ablaze

 

My heart finds delight in my lover’s warm gaze

I want to cuddle up in his arms’ embrace
