Mere nainaa saavan bhadȯ
Phir bhee meraa man pyaasaa
Ai dil deevaane
khel hai kyaa jaane
Dard bharaa ye
geet kahaȧ se
in hothȯ pe aaye
Noor kaheė le jaaye
Bhool gayaa kyaa
Bhool ke bhee hai
Mujhko yaad zaraa saa
Phir bhee meraa man pyaasaa
Baat puraanee hai,
ek kahaanee hai
Ab sochoȯ tumhe
yaad naheė hai
Ab sochoȯ naheė bhoole
Oh saavan ke jhoole
Root aaye rut
jaaye de kar
Jhootha ek dilaasaa
Phir bhi mera man pyasa
Phir bhee meraa man pyaasaa
Barasȯ beet gaye
Hamko mile bichhaṛe
Bijuree ban kar
gagan pe chamakee
Beete samai kee rekhaa
Maine tumko dekhaa
Man sang aȧkh
michaulee khele
Aashaa aur niraashaa
Phir bhee meraa man pyaasaa
My eyes are overflowing with tears like the monsoon rains. But my heart is still so very thirsty.
I do not know this crazy game my heart is playing with me. I do not know where this song is coming to my lips from. And, it takes me far away. A distant memory is awakening because of this. But my heart is still so thirsty.
This is an old story that remember but you do not remember. The change of seasons gives a false hope that these memories will fade, but they do not.
So much time since we parted company, yet the past is like a bright light shining in the sky as a constant reminder. And, you are in that light. These hopes and the pain of parting play needless games with my heart.
Mehbooba (1976); Kishore Kumar
