Maana janaab ne pukaaraa nahee
Kyaa meraa saath bhee gavaaraa nahee
Muft me banke chal diye tan ke
Vallah javaab tumhaaraa nahee
Yaaro kaa chalan hai ghulaamee
Dete hai haseeno ko salaamee
Gussaa naa keejiye jaane bhee deejiye
Bandagee to bandagee to leejiye saahab
Maana janaab
Ṭooṭaa phooṭaa dil ye hamaaraa
Jaisaa bhee hai ab hai tumhaaraa
Idhar dekhiye nazar pheriye
Dil lagee naa dil lagee naa keejiye saahab
Maana janaab …
Maasha allah kehnaa to maanaa
Ban gayaa bigṛa zamaanaa
Tumko hasaa diyaa pyaar sikhaa diyaa
Shukriyaa to shukriyaa to keejiye saahab
Maana janaab
Her Majesty didn’t call me; is my company too lousy?
For no reason is her resentment, yet she walked away straightened; Oh god, you sure have a great attitude.
Normally it is customary to be enslaved and offer salutations to the beauty. Do not be sore, leave it alone, Accept my felicitations & salutations, madam.
Shattered and battered is my heart, howsoever it is now all yours. Look here, throw a glance, don’t wisecrack, don’t prank madam.
Thank god she finally listened, my world is now mended. I made you laugh, I made you love, say thank you, thank you, madam.
Paying Guest (1957); Kishore Kumar
