Karaoke Translation of Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui with Meanings

Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui – Translation of Baazi Golden Oldie

Meta Description: Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui is a Bollywood Golden Oldie from the 1951 film Baazi. It was from the Guru Dutt Dev Anand combine. Enjoy the sensuous voice of Geeta Roy.

Dev Anand, Guru Dutt, and Geeta Roy

Away from the screen, Baazi is a story of two remarkable relationships.
Guru Dutt and Dev Anand, two of Bollywood’s most iconic stars, began their careers around the same time and quickly formed a close friendship. They made an unspoken pact: if Dev Anand produced a film first, Guru Dutt would direct it, and if Guru Dutt became a producer, Dev Anand would star in the lead role. It was Dev Anand who struck first with Baazi (1951), and he asked Guru Dutt to direct the film. This collaboration would go on to shape some of the most memorable songs in Hindi cinema, with both stars leaving a lasting impact on the music of the 1950s. Bollywood Translations will feature many of their iconic tracks in the coming months.

Another story intertwined with Baazi is that of Geeta Roy (later Geeta Dutt), the playback singer who lent her captivating voice to the film’s female vocals. Guru Dutt was so moved by her voice that he fell in love with her, and the two were married a few years later. Tragically, their relationship did not last, and they parted ways just a few years before Guru Dutt’s untimely death.

Explaining the Meaning of Tadbeer Se Bigdi Hui

Madan, financially distressed and down on his luck, has just turned down an offer to lure wealthy clients and is about to leave the gambling den. At this moment, the dancer Leena bursts into song, daring Madan to take up the challenge and change his fortune, if he has the courage. Beyond the narrative of the film, the song inspires listeners to overcome adversity through courage, determination, and hard work.

Originally written by Sahir Ludhianvi as a ghazal, the song retains the lyrical richness of the form. However, composer Sachin Dev Burman reimagined it with an upbeat, foot-tapping rhythm, perfectly suited to the situation in the film. This musical transformation almost completely subsumed the ghazal structure, giving the song a unique fusion of poetry and lively energy.

If you are confident then

The challenge embrace

Embrace the challenge embrace

Hey hey

Oh if the oars of the boat

Are broken why worry

With both your tired arms

The broken oars replace

If you are confident then

The challenge embrace

Tumse Kahoon Ek Baat from Dastak Translated and Explained

Tumse Kahoon Ek Baat – English Translation of Romantic Song

Meta Description: Tumse Kahoon Ek Baat is a Bollywood song from Dastak (1970). Majrooh Sultanpuri and Madan Mohan create a classic music album. Enjoy my English translation.

Setting the Background of Tumse Kahoon Ek Baat

Hameed and Salma, anticipating a rare moment of companionship outdoors, are soon interrupted by an unexpected downpour. They rush back to their room, where the evening unfolds quietly, a tender, unhurried intimacy taking shape. The mood is one of quiet connection, soft rather than passionate. As the song plays, its lyrics weave seamlessly between the romance within the room and the rain-soaked scene outside. The visuals on the screen echo the words with a subtle precision, reinforcing the sense of emotional continuity between the two worlds.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Tumse Kahoon Ek Baat

Let me tell you that I love you

Always always hmmm hmmm

Your scarf like the shade of the night

Covers my face hmmm hmmm

Let me tell you that I love you

Always always always always always

The lanes outside are asleep their arms outspread

Hmmm hmmm

Far from the world I hide in your tresses my head

Hmmm hmmm

My dreams on the arches of your eyebrows I trace

Let me tell you that I love you

Always always always always always

From our bed the night appears faint and bleak

Hmmm hmmm

Your moon-like face with the light plays hide and seek

Hmmm hmmm

Lost in love we feel as if suspended in space

Let me tell you that I love you

Always always always always always

Your rain wet body in my arms it does arouse

Hmmm hmmm

Outside the drenched birds seek shelter amid the boughs

Hmmm hmmm

Drops trickling down your shoulder form a necklace

Let me tell you that I love you

Always always hmmm hmmm

Your scarf like the shade of the night

Covers my face hmmm hmmm

Always always always always always always

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Tumse Kahoon Ek Baat from Dastak (1970)

tumse kahu ik baat paro si

halki-halki hmmm hmmm

Let me tell you something as light as wings¹

raat meri hai chhanv tumhare hi aanchal ki

The shade of your aanchal is my night

I see dreams wandering along the lines of your kohl

The faint night is like our conjugal bed

You wet body is in my hands⁴

Aaj Sajan Mohe Lyrics from Pyaasa Translated and Explained

Aaj Sajan Mohe ang Lagaa Lo – Translation and Explanation

Meta Description: Aaj Sajan Mohe Ang Laga Lo is a Bollywood classic song from Guru Dutt’s Pyaasa. Understand the meaning and enjoy the transcreation set to the original music.

Setting the Background for Aaj Sajan Mohe Ang Laga Lo

On screen, the song projects a group of ascetics, with the woman at the centre singing passionately. Radha implores Krishna to take her into his embrace and relieve her of the spiritual agony she suffers from their separation. As Gulabo listens to this plaintive expression of longing, she experiences a similar torment, but on an earthly plane. Gulabo is in love with Vijay, yet unable to voice her feelings, paralyzed by the fear of rejection due to her status as a prostitute. The lyrics resonate on both the divine and earthly levels, creating a parallel between the female ascetic and Gulabo.

In another cult classic, Khamoshi, a song with a strikingly similar theme is featured. Hum Ne Dekhi Hai plays on the radio of a taxi, where the lovelorn protagonist, a woman traveling alone, is caught in the melancholy of unrequited love. The lyrics, once again, mirror her heartache, much like in Aaj Sajan Mohe Ang Laga Lo from Pyaasa. Both roles were performed by the legendary Waheeda Rehman, whose portrayal of longing and silent suffering remains iconic in both films.

The English Translation of the Lyrics of Aaj Sajan Mohe Ang Laga Lo

Dear friend, enduring pangs of separation when Radha was in a swoon

Then one day she went to her heart throb and asked for this boon

My love now take me in your embrace my life’s desires be fulfilled

The ache of my heart, burning body, everything be stilled

My love now take me in your embrace my life’s desires be fulfilled

Please listen to the cries of my forsaken eyes

There can be no paradise without you

All my happiness flies

All my happiness flies and misfortune arrives

Only loneliness survives without you

Nectar of love, O my sweet beloved, sweet beloved

Nectar of love shower without end till the whole world gets filled

My love now take me in your embrace my life’s desires be fulfilled

Make me your very own

Make me your very own, I am all alone

To you life after life I succumb

Make me your very own, I am all alone

To you life after life I succumb

Please quench my desire, demon destroyer^*

Quench my desire, demon destroyer

Every pore of my being is numb

Nectar of love, O my sweet beloved, sweet beloved

Nectar of love shower without end till the whole world gets filled

My love now take me in your embrace my life’s desires be fulfilled

The ache of my heart, burning body, everything be stilled

My love now take me in your embrace my life’s desires be fulfilled

* Krishna is referred to as a destroyer of Demons in Hindu scriptures

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Aaj Sajan Mohe Ang Laga Lo from Pyaasa

Sakhi ri, biraha ke dukhade sah sahakar jab Raadhe besudh ho li

To ekadin apane Manamohan se ja kar yun boli

Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo janam safal ho jaae

Hriday ki pida, deh ki agani, sab sheetal ho jaae

Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo janam safal ho jaae

Kai jugon se hain jaage, more nain abhaage

Kahin jiya nahin laage bin tore

Sukh dikhe nahin aage,

Sukh dikhe nahin aage duhkh pichhe-pichhe bhaage

Jag suna suna laage bin tore

Prem sudha, more saanwariya, saanwariya

Prem sudha, itani barasa do, jag jal-thal ho jaae

Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo janam safal ho jaae

Mohe apana bana lo

Mohe apana bana lo, mori baanh pakad, main hun janam-janam ki daasi

Mori pyaas bujha do, manahar giridhar

Pyaas bujha do, manahar giridhar,

Main hun antarghat tak pyaasi

Prem sudha, more saanwariya, saanwariya

Prem sudha, itani barasa do, jag jal-thal ho jaae

Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo janam safal ho jaae

Hriday ki pida, deh ki agani, sab sheetal ho jaae

Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo janam safal ho jaae

Meanings of difficult Hindi words

besudh ho li = in a swoon

Manamohan = A name for Krishna, literally a charmer of minds

prem sudha = nectar of love

saanwariya = lover

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Aaj Sajan Mohe Ang Laga Lo

Sakhi ri, biraha ke dukhade sah sahakar jab Raadhe besudh ho li

When Radha swooned after enduring the pangs of separation

To ekadin apane Manamohan se ja kar yun boli

Then one day she approached her Krishna and spoke thus

Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo janam safal ho jaae

Today my love, embrace me so that my life’s mission be accomplished

Hriday ki pida, deh ki agani, sab sheetal ho jaae

The ache in my heart and the fire in my body both get pacified

Kai jugon se hain jaage, more nain abhaage

My unfortunate eyes have been awake since ages

Kahin jiya nahin laage bin tore

I do not find pleasure anywhere without you

Sukh dikhe nahin aage duhkh pichhe-pichhe bhaage

I cannot see happiness ahead and sadness chases me

Main hun antarghat tak pyaasi

I am thirsty till the core of my being

Jaane Kya Tune Kahi from Pyaasa Translated and Explained

Jaane Kya Tune Kahi – Translation of Hit Song by Geeta Dutt

Meta Description: Jaane Kya Tune Kahi is a Bollywood hit song from Guru Dutt movie Pyaasa. Enjoy the Geeta Dutt, S. D. Burman and Sahir Ludhianvi creation explained in English.

Setting the Background for Jaane Kya Tune Kahi

A destitute poet overhears a lady reciting a couplet and approaches her, curious about how she came upon his unpublished verse. The woman, a prostitute, perceives him as a potential customer and begins her solicitation in the form of a song, Jaane Kya Tune Kahi.
While the scene strays from reality, Sahir Ludhianvi’s lyrics possess a subtlety that makes the invitation to the encounter barely discernible. Pyaasa, released in 1957, needed to adhere to the sensibilities of its time. My English translation is slightly more direct, though still nuanced. I’ve included the verse in question before the song.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Jaane Kya Tune Kahi

You have no right to complain about my bold glances

When you keep staring at me lovingly

Doesn’t matter what you said

Doesn’t matter what I heard

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Doesn’t matter what I heard

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Shiver of enticement

Flutter excitement

Shiver of enticement

Flutter excitement

Rising desires you feel

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Doesn’t matter what I heard

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

What’s with the lowered gaze

Why walk with halting pace

What’s with the lowered gaze

Why walk with halting pace

Come on with renewed zeal

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Doesn’t matter what I heard

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Tresses on shoulders bare

My fragrance in the air

Tresses on shoulders bare

My fragrance in the air

Secrets I will reveal

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Doesn’t matter what I heard

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Doesn’t matter what I heard

Because we have a deal

Doesn’t matter what you said

Har Funn Maula: Translation of an Item Song with Aamir Khan

Har Funn Maula – Translation of Koi Jaane Na Hit Item Song

Meta Description: Har Funn Maula is a Bollywood item song featuring Aamir Khan and Elli AvrRam. Enjoy the poetic transcreation in English set to the original soundtrack.

Setting the Background of Har Fun Maula

The movie Koi Jaane Na sank without a trace, but it left behind a true gem: the song Har Funn Maula. This track stands out among Bollywood item numbers for two key reasons:

It features Aamir Khan. Despite his well-known lack of dance skills, his star power adds significant appeal to the performance.
Zara Khan delivers the song in her sensuous and husky voice, creating a compelling effect with a sort of slow-motion delivery.

The lyrics are rich with imagery and nuance that are difficult to translate into English while preserving the original rhyme and meter. I’ve taken creative liberties with the translation to capture the song’s vibrant essence.

I’ll provide a full explanation later, but let’s start with the translation of the phrase har funn maula. While the literal translation is "all-rounder" or "expert in every field," these options would miss the song's energetic tone and lyrical charm. I believe "ace high-flyer" conveys a better sense of excitement, but I welcome suggestions from readers.

The English Transcreation of the Lyrics of Har Funn Maula

Zara Khan

In this violence prone city

Tonight a man will come

He will reveal all secrets

Or himself become one

In the dark night’s embrace let

The secrets hidden be

Tomorrow you can spill the beans

For now keep the mystery

There is a daredevil in here

Who with death walks pace to pace

There is a daredevil in here

Who with death walks pace to pace

After being destroyed in love

He lives with fire in his embrace

Vishal Dadlani

All the beautiful girls

To make mine I desire

But you will always find

Me in lowly attire

The perfume bottle opens

Fragrance is in the air

It soon spreads everywhere

Heart of a monk ace high flyer

Zara Khan

Many came here to try to heal

Poor souls stricken by love’s malaise

From night to day break they all struggled

Each one in turn vanished without a trace

Many came here to try to heal

Poor souls stricken by love’s malaise

From night to day break they all struggled

Each one in turn vanished without a trace

Vishal Dadlani

In the darkness of night

I can show you paradise

And the happiness will

Remain beyond sunrise

A night spent in my arms

That happens to transpire

Gives a life time’s pleasure

Heart of a monk ace high flyer

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Har Funn Maula from Koi Jaane Na

Zara Khan

Haadson Ke Is Shehar Mein
Aaj Koyi Aayega
Khol Dega Raaz Ya Phir
Raaz Khud Ban Jayega

Raat Ki Aagosh Mein Ye
Raaz Rehne Dijiye
Kijiyega Kal Khulasa
Aaj Rehne Dijiye

Hai Koyi Parwana Yahan
Jo Jaan Pe Apni Khelega

Hai Koyi Parwana Yahan
Jo Jaan Pe Apni Khelega
Aashiqui Mein Hoke Fanna
Baahon Mein Shama Ko Le Lega

Vishal Dadlani

Itni Haseeno Pe
Kitni Dafa Ye Dola
Phir Bhi Fakeero Ka
Pehne Hue Hai Chola

Itar Ki Sheeshi Hai
Jahan Bhi Khul Jaaye
Hawa Mein Ghool Jaaye
Dil Jogi Da Har Funn Maula

Zara Khan

Aaye Toh Kayi Karne Idhar
Dil-E-Bekarar Ki Dawa
Shab Se Sehar Hote Hi Magar
Baari Baari Saare Ho Gaye Hawa

Vishal Dadlani

Shab Ke Andhere Mein
Jannat Dikhane Wala
Main Toh Sawere Bhi
Dil Na Dukhane Wala

Ye Meri Baahon Mein
Raat Jo Guzre Wo
Umar Bhar Jaisi Hai
Dil Jogi Da Har Funn Maula

Meanings of Difficult Urdu Words

Haadsa = Tragedy

Aagosh = Embrace

Khulasa = Expose

Fanna = Destroyed

Fakeer = Poor holy person

Chola = Cloak

Itar = Perfume

Dil-E-Bekarar = Uneasy heart

Shab = Night

Sehar = Dawn

Jannat = Heaven

Explaining the Meaning of the Lyrics of Har Funn Maula

Koi Jaane Na has been described as a psychological thriller, and the song Har Funn Maula perfectly captures that mood. Set in a nightclub, the dance begins with a prelude steeped in crime and mystery, featuring a gun-toting ensemble that leads us to the dance floor.

The dancer announces that a mysterious figure is expected tonight, someone who will restore order to this crime-ridden city. But let’s keep his identity a secret for now. She likens him to a moth irresistibly drawn to a flame, oblivious to the danger—a metaphor that loses its romantic and adventurous essence in translation.

The mystery man turns out to be Aamir Khan, who has been sitting at the bar, casually smoking his pipe. As he steps onto the dance floor, he describes himself as a ladies’ man, comparing his allure to the captivating scent of perfume that spreads and enchants everyone around him. This is evident as the girls flock to him, drawn in by his charm. Despite his charisma, he dresses simply and even somewhat coarsely, which contrasts sharply with the elegant gangsters introduced at the beginning of the song.

The dancer then laments that no man has ever been good enough to quench women’s thirst for love, to which the mystery man confidently replies that he is exactly the lover they’ve been searching for.
