Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hȧi
Meraa soona paṛha re sangeet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hȧi
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Barse gagan mere barse nayan
Dekho tarse hai man ab to aaja
Sheetal pavan ye lagaaye agan
O sajan ab to mukhaṛa dikhaa jaa
Toone bhalee re nibhaai preet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hȧi
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Ek pal hai hasna ek pal hai ronaa
Kaisa hai jeevan ka khela
Ek pal hai milnaa ek pal bichhaṛna
Duniyaa hai do din kaa melaa
Yeh ghaṛee na jaaye beet
Tujhe mere geet bulate hȧi
Aa laut ke aaja mere meet
Please return to me my friend, my song of love is calling you. Without you, my music lacks any sweetness.
The eyes cry like a sudden burst of clouds; even the cool breeze serves to only increase the pains of separation. O, reveal your face to me once again, show me your pure love.
In one moment there is laughter, in another moment there are tears. What is this ‘play’ called life? One moment brings the joy of meeting; the other moment brings the pains of separation. The world is like a short mela; time waits for no one.
Rani Rupmati 1957; Mohammed Rafi
