Yaad na jaaye bite dino kee
Jaake na aaye jo din
Dil kyȯ bulaaye unhe
Dil kyȯ bulaaye
Din jo pakheroo hote
pinjare me mai rakh detaa
Paalataa unako jatan se
Motee ke daane detaa
Sine se rahataa lagaaye
Yaad na jaae
bite dino ki
Tasveer unakee chhupaake
Rakh dȯȯ jahaa jee chaahe
Man me basee ye murat
Lekin mite na miṭaaye
Kahane ko hai vo paraaye
Yaad na jaaye…
Memories of the past, the past days will not leave. The days that are gone will never return so why forget them? Why can my heart forgive them?
If the days were birds, I would keep them in a cage so that they would not fly by! I would tend to them with care/love, feed them pearls, and keep them close to my heart.
I could hide my companion’s picture anywhere I chose, but the one within my heart will never be erased however I may try. Even if she were to be for another, I cannot forget her.
Dil Ek Mandir(1963); Mohammed Rafi
