Meree kahanee bhoolne vaale
Teraa jahaȧ aabad rahe
Meree kahanee
Teree khushee par me mit jaoo
Duniyaa meri aabad rahe
Meree kahanee
Mere geet sune duniyaa ne magar
Mera dard koyee naa jan saka
Naa jan saka
Ek tera sahaaraa thaa dil ko
Ek tera sahara tha
Too bhee naa mujhe pahechan sakaa
Bachpan ke voh geet puraane
Aaj tujhe naa yaad rahe
Meree kahanee
Mė apna fasana keh naa sakaa
Mere dil kee tamannaa dil me rahee
Lo aaj kinaare par
lo aaj kinare par aake
Armaano kee kashtee ḍoob gayee
Kismat ko manzoor yahee thaa
Lab par mere fariyaad rahe
Meree kahanee
I can give up my entire life’s story for the sake of your prosperity – for, when you are happy, the world is happy.
Everyone may listen to my story, but no one can experience my pain. You are my hope – but, even you cannot understand. You cannot even remember the old songs sung to you when you were a child.
I cannot explain my feelings. The hopes of my heart remain unanswered. Once, those hopes were almost fulfillment, but now even that is lost. This in my misfortune – that, even in the end, no one can listen and understand my cry for help. This is my story.
Mohammed Rafi; Movie – Deedar (1951)
