Hi!
Is there anyone out there interested in this topic? I have seen lots of new songs translated on bollywoodlyrics.com, but not songs from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Like Noor Jehan songs and songs from Mughul E Azam etc.
Sampath

[Madhu]

Most of the people who like old songs already know Hindi and do not need translations. However, we do get occasional requests for old songs and I know I have provided translations for those songs. Was your question a general question or were you actually looking for the translation of a particular song?

Madhu

[Sampath]

Thanks for the prompt reply. While my opening query sounded rather general, my particular interest (and p***ion) relates songs sung by Noor Jehan. There are some dozen songs that I would love to have translations for. Let me know if you would be interested in this, in which case, I’ll email the lyrics of say 3 or 4 songs.
Sampath

[Madhu]

If you provide the lyrics, I will be happy to provide the translations. However, I prefer to do that in the forum instead of in private e-mails. If you want to go ahead and post the lyrics here, I will translate them.

Madhu

[looduni]

Mandu one person who live this hindi songs, cause you know all the song, pal how do you get all those songs

[Sampath]

Madhu: I am so happy that you would consider the translations. I am so grateful to you. Regards, Sampath
I wasn’t sure how to upload the lyrics, but I am going to just paste them here:
Noor Jehan Song Lyrics
(1)
Jaltay hain Armaan, mera dil rota hai
Qismat ka dastoor nirala hota hai
Aayee aisi mauj keh sahil choot gaya
Warna apni kashti kaun doobota hai
Qismat ka dastoor nirala hota hai

Kaun meray tootay dil ki faryaad sunay
Aaj meri taqdeer ka malik sota hai
Qismat ka dastoor nirala hota hai

(2)
Lyric Name: Hamari Sanson Mein Aaj
Hamari saanson mein aaj tak woh heena ki khushbhoo mehak rahi hai
Labo-n pe naghme machal rahe hai-n nazar se masti chhalak rahi hai

Woh mere nazdeek aate aate hayaa se ek din simat gaye the-y
Mere khayalo-n mein aaj tak woh badan ki daali latak rahi hai

Sadaa jo dil se nikal rahi hai woh sher-o-naghmo-n mein dhal rahi hai
Ke dil ke aangan mein jaise koi ghazal ki dhaandhar khanak rahi hai

Tadap mere bekharar dil ki kabhi To un-pay asar karey-gi
Kabhi to woh bhi jalengay isme jo aag dil main dahek rahi hai

(3)
Lyric: Chalo Achchhaa hu_aa Tum Bhuul Gaye
Lakhon Mein Ek (Pakistani-Film) 1967, Starring: Shamimara, Ejaz
Singer: Noorjehan, Music: Nisar Bazmi, Lyrics: Fayyaz Hashmi

chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye -2
ek bhuul thaa meraa pyaar ho saajanaa
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye -2
( mai.n samajhuu.Ngii baaware nayanaa, dekh rahe the sapane
ho dekh rahe the sapane ) -2
kho kar sab kuchh khoyaa, bhaag me.n thaa ye apane
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye
ek bhuul thaa meraa pyaar ho saajanaa
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye
man bagiyaa me.n aag bharii thii, phuul kahaa.N se khilate
ho phuul kahaa.N se khilate
ek nadii ke do the kinaare, kaise bhalaa phir milate
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye
ek bhuul thaa meraa pyaar ho saajanaa
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye -2

[Madhu]

Jaltay hain Armaan, mera dil rota hai
desires burn, my heart cries
Qismat ka dastoor nirala hota hai
what fortune gives us is unique
Aayee aisi mauj keh sahil choot gaya
such a wave came that the shore was left behind
Warna apni kashti kaun doobota hai
otherwise who sinks their own boat
Qismat ka dastoor nirala hota hai
what fortune gives us is unique

Kaun meray tootay dil ki faryaad sunay
who will listen to the plea of my broken heart
Aaj meri taqdeer ka malik sota hai
today the boss/maker of my fate sleeps
Qismat ka dastoor nirala hota hai
what fortune gives us is unique

Madhu

[Madhu]

Lyric Name: Hamari Sanson Mein Aaj

Hamari saanson mein aaj tak woh heena ki khushbhoo mehak rahi hai
in my breath even today there is the fragrance of the heena flower
Labo-n pe naghme machal rahe hai-n nazar se masti chhalak rahi hai
on my lips songs are playing, from the eyes fun is overflowing

Woh mere nazdeek aate aate hayaa se ek din simat gaye the-y
one day she was coming close to me and she pulled away in her shyness
Mere khayalo-n mein aaj tak woh badan ki daali latak rahi hai
in my thoughts even today there is her body like a vine/branch

Sadaa jo dil se nikal rahi hai woh sher-o-naghmo-n mein dhal rahi hai
the sound that comes out of my heart is turning into a song
Ke dil ke aangan mein jaise koi ghazal ki dhaandhar khanak rahi hai
as if in the courtyard of the heart, a beautiful songs tune is sounding

Tadap mere bekharar dil ki kabhi To un-pay asar karey-gi
the pain of my restless heart will have an effect on her/him some time
Kabhi to woh bhi jalengay isme jo aag dil main dahek rahi hai
some time they will also burn in the fire burning in my heart

Madhu

[Madhu]

Lyric: Chalo Achchhaa hu_aa Tum Bhuul Gaye
Lakhon Mein Ek (Pakistani-Film) 1967, Starring: Shamimara, Ejaz
Singer: Noorjehan, Music: Nisar Bazmi, Lyrics: Fayyaz Hashmi

chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye -2
ok its good that you forgot
ek bhuul thaa meraa pyaar ho saajanaa
my love was a mistake, oh my lover
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye -2
ok its good that you forgot

( mai.n samajhuu.Ngii baaware nayanaa, dekh rahe the sapane
I will consider that my wild eyes were seeing a dream
ho dekh rahe the sapane ) -2
were seeing a dream
kho kar sab kuchh khoyaa, bhaag me.n thaa ye apane
having lost (you) I have lost every thing, this was in my fate
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye
ok its good that you forgot
ek bhuul thaa meraa pyaar ho saajanaa
my love was a mistake, oh my lover
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye
ok its good that you forgot

man bagiyaa me.n aag bharii thii, phuul kahaa.N se khilate
the garden of my heart was full of fire, how could flowers bloom
ho phuul kahaa.N se khilate
how could flowers bloom
ek nadii ke do the kinaare, kaise bhalaa phir milate
one river had two shores, how could they ever meet
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye
ok its good that you forgot
ek bhuul thaa meraa pyaar ho saajanaa
my love was a mistake, oh my lover
chalo achchhaa hu_aa tum bhuul gaye -2
ok its good that you forgot

I would never win an argument with you Nitzah so what would be the point in my trying to dispute any of the things you say about me. Yes, I freely admit that you nicknamed me “faaltoo female” even though I am far from faaltoo. However, if it makes you happy to call me that, please feel free to do so.

aakhir aap khush hain to mai bhee khush hoon.

[Sampath]

Madhu: Words sre not enough to express my gratitude to you for the translations. These songs have been haunting me and my trying to translate them with a dictionary was a hopeless task. Thank you again.

If you get a chance to listen to these songs by Noor Jehan, I am sure you will be moved.Would be interested to hear your views of poetry in these lyrics.

Word of explanation for my lack of Hindi is that I left india a long time ago; but three of my favorite singers are Noor Jehan, Shamshad and Suraiya.

Sampath

It was my pleasure. If I am able to do some thing to make music more enjoyable for others, I am always happy to do so. I have heard many songs on Noor Jehan, Shamshad Begum and Suraiya. Though I do not recall hearing any of these songs. Are they available some where on the net to listen to? As far as poetry goes, these songs had nice lyrics. Most of the older songs paid much more attention to lyrics than some of the later songs in 80s. It is nice to see that once more the lyricists are coming up with decent lyrics.

[Madhu]

To keep you happy, just a short post in response to you, Nitzah.

I do things that I enjoy when I have a few free minutes. I like the challenge of translating the songs. The achievement makes me happy. I would rather translate the song then chat in pm while in Yahoo singing rooms.

So you see it is a matter of choices.

Madhu

[nitzah]

translate songs, chat in pm, yahoo singing rooms….and you say your not jobless ??

I knew you would say some thing of the sort.

Why am I even bothering to say any thing at all?

Believe what you want.

Be Happy!

Madhu

[nitzah]

coz you know me too well maybe ??

Every time I click on that link it takes me from there to directparking some thing so the golden songs don’t come up. Could you check your link again?

Madhu

[Sampath]

Madhu: Sorry about the website. I wrote it from memory. It should be http://www.pakistanvision.com. Then the link is Golden Hits. You’ll see Noor Jehan’s songs there. I am out for a few days, but will ckeck any respose from you on Sunday evening. Regards, Sampath

[Sampath]

Madhu: Did you get a chance to listen to the songs? If you liked them, I would like to send three more lyrics for translation. Please let me know. Regards,
Sampath

[Madhu]

I got into the site but had trouble listening to the songs. I may have to check my pop up blockers or some thing before I am able to hear the songs. I will keep trying.

If you will provide the lyrics, I will try to translate the songs.

Madhu

[Sampath]

Madhu:
That site can be slow. Try this: http://www.muziqpakistan.com/songs. Then Search for “Noor Jehan”. Then select any song you want to listen to. I tried it just now and it works.
You are very generous offering to translate more songs. If you can, here are 3 more songs:
