Naina Thag Lenge - Translation of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Song

 

Naina Thag Lenge - Translation of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan Song


Meta Description:  Naina Thag Lenge is a Bollywood hit song from Vishal Bhardwaj film Omkara.  This is a background song rendered soulfully by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. Enjoy this tribute to Gulzar on his 90th birthday.


Eyes in Bollywood Songs and Why Naina Thag Lenge Is Different

Bollywood has long been captivated by the allure of eyes. Songs like Humko To Jaan Se Pyaari Hai Tumhari Aankhen, penned by Hasrat Jaipuri, pay tribute to Rajshree, celebrated for her mesmerizing eyes. Classics such as Aankhon Hi Aankhon Mein, Teri Aankhon Ke Siva, Gulabi Aankhen Jo Teri Dekhi, and Kajra Re Tere Kaale Kaale Naina span the complete range of emotions, from soulful to seductive. These tracks consistently extol the beauty and charm of eyes.

 

Gulzar's song Naina Thag Lenge stands apart in two significant ways:

 

·       It is about one’s own eyes and not those of one’s partner

·       It condemns eyes for creating a deceptive illusion and not showing things as they are

 

The song is from Omkara, an adaption of William Shakespeare’s Othello. Omkara, the equivalent character of Othello, is deceived into “seeing” that Dolly Mishra (Desdemona) is unfaithful to him.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Naina Thag Lenge 

Do not believe your eyes yea

What they show is all lies

Do not believe your eyes yea

What they show is all lies

What they show is all lies yea

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

 

They will enchant in the day yea

Will enchant in the day

They will enchant in the day yea

Doubts will snatch your sleep away

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

Do not believe your eyes yea

 

Eyes don’t see what’s good or bad, who’s against and who’s for yea

They only want to cause pain evermore yea

Eyes don’t see what’s good or bad, who’s against and who’s for yea

They only want to cause pain evermore yea

Their poison’s intoxicating yea

Their poison’s intoxicating

Their poison’s intoxicating yea

Their poison’s intoxicating                       

Eyes show a rainbow in the sky

Then its not there wonder why

Eyes show a rainbow in the sky

Eyes you cannot believe

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

 

Eyes can create an illusion

Of a heavenly scene

Or a pastoral paradise

Lush with pastures a green

There is no way you can trust what your eyes will recount

There is no receipt, no record, no account

There is no way you can trust what your eyes will recount

There is no receipt, no record, no account

All is a mirage yea

All is a mirage

You see rain from a clear blue sky

Monsoons when it is dry

You see rain from a clear blue sky

Eyes you cannot believe

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

 

Do not believe your eyes yea

What they show is all lies

What they show is all lies yea

Your eyes will deceive

They will enchant in the day yea

Will enchant in the day

They will enchant in the day yea

Doubts will snatch your sleep away

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes will deceive will deceive

Your eyes will deceive

Your eyes… will deceive

Eyes… eyes…eyes…eyes…eyes…

Eyes…eyes…eyes…

Eyes will deceive
