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 90^th 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

Bismil – Transcreation and Explanation of Song from Haider

Meta Description:  Bismil is a popular Bollywood item number from Omkara rendered by Sukhwinder Singh. This English translation fits perfectly to the original beat by Vishal Bhardwaj. Understand the context of the song in Haider, which is adapted from William Shakespeare’s Hamlet.   

The Context of the Song Bismil in the Bollywood Movie Haider

Without understanding the context of the song, it is challenging to grasp its meaning, especially since Gulzar is renowned for his metaphorical lyrics. The film Haider is a modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. In Hamlet, the protagonist stages a play that mirrors the suspected murder of his father by his uncle Claudius. The play’s impact on Claudius and Hamlet’s mother, Gertrude, confirms Hamlet's suspicions about the fratricide.

 

Similarly, in Haider, the song Bismil functions as a metaphorical reenactment of the drama unfolded in Haider’s life. In this song, the bulbul symbolizes Ghazala Meer (Haider’s mother), the bulbul's mate represents Hilaal Meer (Haider’s father), and the hawk stands for Khurram Meer (Haider’s uncle and now stepfather). Khurram had falsely implicated Hilaal to gain favour with the authorities, initiating his rise to power and opulence. The song performed by Haider ends with a plea to his mother that she is in danger and should come to her senses.

The Difficulties in Translating Bismil in English

A direct translation of Bismil that preserves the exact nuances, rhyme, and rhythm of the original proved impossible for several reasons:
 
·       The song's rich metaphorical content
·       The frequent use of short, repeated phrases
·       The song's variable tempo
 
Transcreation, as opposed to literal translation, captures the intent and emotional essence of the original while adapting the language to fit the song's rhythm and beat. As a result, the English version I have created can be sung to the original instrumental track.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Bismil 

Bulbul smitten by Cupid’s dart

Quickly from the garden depart

O! Bulbul smitten by Cupid’s dart

Quickly from the garden depart

Bulbul smitten by Cupid’s dart

Love smitten bulbul, O! love smitten bulbul

 

Many troubles are faced by a troubled heart

A quick heartbeat, a quick heartbeat says

A quick heartbeat, a quick heartbeat says

You cannot tell true love and pretence apart

Fragrant flowers incite passion

Quickly from the garden depart

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

Quickly from the garden depart

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

 

 

Ho.. Everybody please listen to me

I am just repeating your story

Love smitten bulbul, love smitten bulbul

Love smitten bulbul, O! love smitten bulbul

Lived a pair of birds, female and male

The male was naïve, the female frail

Lived a pair of birds, female and male

The male was naïve, the female frail

In winter the falling snow

Would paint the mountain ranges white

A hawk with malefic intent

A hawk with malefic intent

Over the valleys would take flight

He would carry death hidden in his wings

Wanted a life of luxury

A new path to chart

Wanted a life of luxury

A new path to chart

 

 

The hawk flirted with the bulbul

He took control over her mind

He led her down the garden path

Where poisoned flowers she would find

He took control over her mind

(The hawk flirted with the bulbul)

Poisoned flowers she would find

(He took control over her mind)

O o.. he set the valley aflame

Spread his nets over the lake

He caught the helpless hapless male

He caught the helpless hapless male

And both his wings he did break

At every step the hawk did lie

Lied the evil heart

Quickly from the garden depart

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

 

 

The wounded male was arrested

(arrested, arrested)

With iron chains he was bound

At Sheeripur in Aramula

In the river he was drowned

Jhelum.. Jhelum..

Red red became red red became red red became red

Jhelum.. Jhelum..

Red red became red red became red red became red

The pure waters of Kashmir are great

The chains dissolved and changed his fate

He is alive, will be alive

The culprit will now not survive

He is alive, will be alive

The culprit will now not survive

He is alive, will be alive

The culprit will now not survive

Come to your senses, come to your senses

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

He led her down the garden path

Come to your senses, come to your senses

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

Come to your senses, come to your senses

Smitten by Cupid’s dart

Udata tha sabz anzaraon mein
Pankhon mein uske maut chhupi thi

Mehfil mehfil dhoond raha tha
Mehelon ki manzil

Mehfil mehfil dhoond raha tha

Mehlon ki manzil

Bulbul ke khwabon mein jakar

Zeher ke dank lagaye the

Khushbu-e-gul mein zeher bhara

Aur mada ko bhijwaaye the

Zeher ke dank lagaaye the

(Bulbul ke khwabon mein jakar)

Mada ko bhijwaaye the

(Zeher ke dank lagaye the)
O o.. waadi mein chidka baarod

Jheel mein jaal bichha daale

Chhuriyon se bechare nar ke

Chhuriyon se bechare nar ke

Dono pankh kata daale

Bismil = wounded  

Harkat-e-dil = (here) mistakes committed in love

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Bismil 

The repeated lines have been removed

 

Bulbul who has been wounded in love

Do not go near the flowers

A troubled heart can lead you to greater troubles

When heart beats quickly

Anxiety can lead to you to make mistakes in love
The fragrances of flowers are filled with love

 

Everyone listen to what I have to say

I am repeating your story

There was a pair of birds – male and female

The bulbul was naïve, so was her mate

When there was snowfall

There would be a blanket on the mountain ranges

There was a hawk with malefic intent

Who would fly from where he could see the green valleys

He was hiding death in his wings
He was searching every gathering

His destination was a palatial life style

He entered the dreams of the bulbul

And stung her with poison

He poisoned a bouquet of fragrant flowers

And sent it to the bulbul

Sprinkled gunpowder in the valley

Spread nets in the lake

With knives, of the helpless male bird

He cut off both the wings
He is lying

The coward is lying

He imprisoned the wounded mate

And bound him in chains

From Sheerinpur in Aramula

Who was thrown in the waters

Jhelum..

Became red
Due to the effect of the waters of Kashmir

The chains opened and the fate changed

He (male bird) is alive and will remain so

The culprit will be shamed

Come to your senses
Bulbul wounded in love

Female

 

I was leaving all decked up ready for our tryst

Mom stopped me with a glare and held me by my wrist

O! To the family good name disgrace you will bring

Young lasses go to the fields only for one thing

 

Such boys who lure girls at night to the fields

Such boys who lure girls at night to the fields

They will never ever marry you this is true

 

Male

 

I was in the fields all night

 O! Where were you

I was in the fields all night

I can pluck the moon and stars for you

But making excuses is all you do

My pleas have brought eternity here

But you my dear are nowhere in view

 

How long will I wait for your excuses

How long will I wait for you to say yes

I’ve turned down the girls who were in queue

I’ve turned down the girls who were in queue

I’ve turned down the girls who were in queue

 

I was in the fields all night

 O! Where were you

I was in the fields all night

 O! Where were you

Phir Raat Kati – Poetic English Translation of Song from Paheli

Meta Description:  Phir Raat Kati is a Bollywood hit song from Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji starrer Paheli. The playback singers are Sukhwinder Singh and Sunidhi Chauhan. Superimpose my English translation on the music of Phir Raat Kati and you will get a better fit than any other translation.

The Context of the Bollywood Song Phir Raat Kati 

Phir Raat Kati is played with the closing credits in the movie, which is a pity because many viewers miss the song. Shah Rukh Khan and Rani Mukerji appear as Rajasthani puppets narrating a tale with innovative choreography. The song encapsulates the essence of the movie’s story. A jilted lover from ages ago roams around as a spirit. A wedding group is camped and the spirit enters the bridegroom. What follows is a series of comic situations, with the riddle (paheli) being resolved right at the end.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Phir Raat Kati 

After night the dawn broke

When day ended arose the night

Boastful tales of love took flight

God protect the lovers

Heyyy ho heyyy ho

On the camel rode the moon

The night behind a step or two

The stars forming the retinue

God protect the lovers

Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

 

Every night the song is sung

The wind may be the balladeer

Or stories pass through human tongue

God protect the lovers

Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

After night the dawn broke

When day ended arose the night

Boastful tales of love took flight

God protect the lovers

Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

The body turns into dust

But love stands the test of time

The years will roll on my friend

Folk tales will remain sublime

 

The body turns into dust

But love stands the test of time

The years will roll on my friend

Folk tales will remain sublime

 

 

The stories will fade away

The actors are fresh in mind

Till deserts are with sand  

Their followers you will find

 

 

After the night (night)

Broke the dawn (dawn)

When day ended (ended)

Arose the night (night)

Boastful tales of love took flight

God protect the lovers

Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

After many centuries had gone

Thousands of full moons had shone

He saw a caravan at dawn

And desired to be reborn

 

 

After many centuries had gone

Thousands of full moons had shone

He saw a caravan at dawn

And desired to be reborn

Since then in every lover’s life

He enters to create some strife

Till deserts are with sand 

Their followers you will find

 

 

After night broke the dawn

When day ended arose the night

Boastful tales of love took flight

God protect the lovers

On the camel rode the moon

The night behind a step or two

The stars forming the retinue

God protect the lovers

Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

 

Every night the song is sung

The wind may be the balladeer

Or stories pass through human tongue

God protect the lovers

Heyyy ho heyyy ho

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Phir Raat Kati from Paheli

Phir raat kati aur din nikla       
Jab din nikla toh raat chadhi
Phir preet ki aaisi ding badhi
Rab raakha beliya                     
Heyyy ho heyyy ho

Ootani par jab chaand chale
Aur chaand ke peeche raat chale
Aur taaron ki baarat chalen
Rab rakha beliya
Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

 

Har raat kahani chalti hai
Kabhi hawa sunati hai baaten
Kabhi baat zubaani chalti hai

Rab Rakha beliya
Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

Phir raat kati aur din nikla       
Jab din nikla toh raat chadhi
Phir preet ki aaisi ding badhi
Rab raakha beliya                    
Heyyy ho heyyy ho

Deh ki reti udd jaavegi
Preet sada reh jaavegi
Arey samay gujar jaavega babu
Lok katha reh jaavegi

Deh ki reti udd jaavegi
Preet sada reh jaavegi
Arey samay gujar jaavega babu
Lok katha reh jaavegi

Baat purani ho jaavegi
Naam sada reh jaavega
Arey maro tul mein baloo
Jab tak unka naam rahega

 

Phir raat kati kati
Aur din nikala nikala
Jab din nikala nikala
Toh raat chadhi chadhi
Phir preet ki aaisi ding badhi
Rab raakha beliye
Heyyy ho heyyy ho

 

Arey bahut baras jab gujar gaye
Aur laakh chaand jab utar gaye
Peepal par ek padav hua
Aur phir janme ka chav hua
Arey bahut baras jab gujar gaye
Aur laakh chaand jab utar gaye
Peepal par ek padav hua
Aur phir janme ka chav hua
Tabse har ek kahani mein
Woh aate hai aur jaate hai

Arey maro tul mein baloo
Jab tak unka naam rahega
Phir raat kati aur din nikala
Jab din nikala toh raat chadhi
Phir preet ki aaisi ding badhi
Rab raakha beliya

 

Otani par jab chaand chale
Aur chaand ke peeche raat chale
Aur taaron ki baarat chalen
Rab rakha beliya
Heyyy ho heyyy ho
