Man re too kaahe naa dheer dhare
Vo nirmohee moh naa jaane,
jinkaa moh kare
Man re….
Is jeevan kee chaṛhatee ḍhaltee
dhoop ko kisne baandhaa
Rang pe kisne pehare ḍaale
rup ko kisne baandhaa
Kaahe ye jatan kare
Man re …
Utanaa hee upkaar samajh koee
jitnaa saath nibhaa de
Janma maraṇ kaa mel hai sapanaa
ye sapanaa bisaraa de
Koee na sang mare
Man re …
Oh Dear Heart, Why do you despair? The one you desire is devoid of emotion, knows not what desire is.
No One has Control of Joys and Sorrows of Life, No One has Control of Beauty and Youth in one’s Life.
Recognise their favor so long as they stay true to you; Being in Life and in Death is just a dream, a dream that is an illusion. In the end you die alone, So Oh Dear Heart, Why do you despair?
Chitralekha (1964); Mohammad Rafi
