Singers: Mohd. Rafi, Lata Mangeshkar
Actors: Shammi Kapoor, Saira Banu

Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par
Dil chahta hai woh kehne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayi
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do
Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par...

I would be indebted to you
If you let me tell you what my heart desires
I have fallen in love with you
Please let me dwell in the shadow of your eyelashes
You would be doing me a great favor...

Tumne mujhko hansna sikhaaya
Rone kahoge ro lenge ab
Aansoo ka hamaare gham na karo
Woh behte hai to behne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayii hai
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do
Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par...

You were the one who taught me how to laugh
Now, if you ask me to cry, I will
Don't be hurt by my tears
They've already started to flow, so let them fall.
Because I've fallen in love with you
Let me dwell in the shadow of your eyelashes
You would be indulging me...

Chaahe bana do chaahe mitaa do
Mar bhi gaye to denge duwaayen
Udd udd ke kahegi khaak sanam
Yeh dard-e-mohabbat sehne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayi hai
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do

Either make it or destroy it
Even if it kills me, I will sing your praises
Flying around, the ashes will say,
"Let me bear the burdens of love."
For I have fallen in love with you
Let me dwell in the shadow of your eyelashes

Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par
Dil chahta hai woh kehne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayi hai
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do
Ehsaan tera hoga mujhe par...

I would be indebted to you
If you let me tell you what's in my heart
I have fallen in love with you
Please let me dwell in the shadow of your eyelashes
I would be indebted to you...






Song: Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi
Movie: Barsaat Ki Raat (1960)
Performed By: Sonu Nigam
Music Album: Sonu Nigam Tribute To Mohd Rafi





English Translation of 'Zindagi Bhar Nahin Bhoolegi'
Movie: Barsaat Ki Raat
Singer: Rafi
Actors: Bharat Bhushan, Madhubala


Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
Ek anjaan haseena se mulaaqat ki raat
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi...

I could never forget that one rainy night.
The night when I met an unknown beauty.
I could never forget it for the rest of my life...

Haaye woh reshmi zulfon se barasta paani
Phool se gaalon pe rukane ko tarasta paani
Dil mein toofan uthaate hue
Dil mein toofan uthaate hue jazbaat ki raat
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi...

Oh, there was water dripping from her silky hair
Even those droplets wanted to linger on her rosy cheeks
She created quite a stir in my heart
It was that same night that she created a stir in my heart
I will never forget it for the rest of my life...

Dar ke bijali se achaanak woh lipatana uska
Aur phir sharm se bhalakhaake simatanaa usakaa
Kabhi dekhi na suni aisi ho
Kabhi dekhi na suni aisi tujismaat ki raat
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi...

She was startled by the thunder and lightning
And then she shyly curled up into a ball
I had never seen or heard anything like this before
I had never seen or heard anything like that enchanting night before
I will never forget it for the rest of my life...

Surkh aanchal ko dabaakar jo nichoda usne
Dil pe jalta hua ek tiir sa chhoda usne
Aag paani mein lagaate hue
Aag paani mein lagaate hue halaat ki raat
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi...

She wrung her red shawl trying to dry it
It was as though she had sent a fiery arrow through my heart
She ignited a fire in the water of those storms
It was in that same night that she started a fire in the water
I will never forget it for the rest of my life...

Mere nagmo mein jo basati hai woh tasveer thi woh
Naujavani ke haseen kyaab ki tabir thi woh
Aasmaanon se utar aayi ho
Aasmanon se utar aayi thi jo raat ki raat
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi woh barsaat ki raat
Ek anjaan haseena se mulaqaat ki raat
Zindagi bhar nahin bhoolegi...

Her image lies in all my songs
She is the completion of all my youthful dreams.
She has descended from the heavens
She has descended from the heavens on this night of nights
I could never forget that rainy night
The night when I met an unknown beauty
I could never forget it for the rest of my life.

Likhe Jo Khat Tujhe Woh Teri Yaad Mein is a superhit hindi song from 1969 movie Kanyadaan starring Shashi Kapoor and Asha Parekh.

Music Director: Shankar Jai Kishan
Singer: Mohammed Rafi (Mohd Rafi)



Likhe jo khat tujhe
woh teri yaad mein
hazaaron rang ke
nazaare ban gaye

Sawera jab huya
to phool ban gaye
jo raat aayi to
sitaare ban gaye

Koyi nagma kahin goonja
kahan dil mein
yeh tu aayi
kahin chatki kali koyi
main yeh samjha, tu sharmaayi
koyi khushboo kahin bikhri
laga yeh zulf lehraayi

Likhe jo khat tujhe...

Fiza rangeen, adaa rangeen
yeh ithlaana, yeh sharmaana
yeh angdhaayi, Yeh tanhaayi
yeh tarsa kar, chale jaana
bana de ga nahi kisko
jawaan jadoo yeh deewana

Likhe jo khat tujhe..

Jahan tu hai, wahan main hoon
mere dil ki tu dhadhkan hai
musafir main tu manzil hai
main pyaasa hoon tu saawan hai
meri duniya yeh nazre hain
meri jannat yeh daaman hai

Likhe jo khat tujhe...

LIKHE JO KHAT TUJHE ( Kanyadaan )

Likhe jo khat tujhe, wo teri yaad mein
I wrote you a letter, in your memory

Wo teri yaad mein, hajaaro rang ke nazare ban gaye
In your memory, it became a sight of thousand colors

Savera jab hua, to phool ban gaye
When it became morning, it became flowers

Jo raat aayi to sitaren ban gaye
When night came, it became stars

Koi nagma kahi goonja, kaha dil mein yeh tu aayee
A story echoed somewhere, my heart said that you came

Kahi chatakee kaali koi, main ye samajhaa tu sharmaayi
When limbs snapped somewhere, I thought you became shy

Koi khushboo kahi bikhari, lagaa ye zulf laheraayi
When fragrance spread somewhere, it felt like your hair spread

Fizaa rangeen ada rangeen ye ithhlaanaa, yeh sharmana
The atmosphere is colorful, the style is colorful, this strut, this shyness

Yeh angdayi, ye tanhayi, ye tarasakar chale jaanaa
This tossing and turning, this loneliness, this going away by making me thirsty

Banaa degaa naheen kis ko, jawaan jaadoo ye diwana
Won’t it make a crazy man out of any adult?

Jahaa tu hain, waha main hoon, mere dil ki too dhadkan hain
Wherever you are, I am there. You are the heartbeat of my heart.

Musafir main tu manzil hain, main pyaasa hoon, tu saawan hain
I am the traveler, you are the destination. I am the thirsty, you are the rain

Mere duniya yeh nazaren hain, mere jannat ye daaman hain
My world are these eyes, my heaven is this hem of your garment.

o saathi re, (film: omkara)

O Sathi Re


o saathi re din dube na - 2

O my love, hope the sun never sets

aa chal din ko roke

come on, hope this day does not end

dhup ke peeche daude

lets run after the sunlight

chaanv chhue na

the shadows do not not touch us

o saathi re

O beloved

o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re
o saathi re din dube na
thaka thaka suraj jab nadi se hokar niklega

when the tired sun (early evening) passes over the river

hari hari kaayi pe paanv bada toh fislega

the sun (time) may slip if it steps on rocks slippery by algae

tum rok ke rakhna main jaal giraaun

you hold the sun and I will try to trap it

tum pith pe lena main haath lagaaun

you hold on to it and I will help you

din dube na ha

hope the sun does not set

teri meri atti katti

I am not speaking to you

daat se khaati katti

really not speaking to you for sure

re jaiyo na

pls do not go

o piyu re

o beloved

o piyu re na jaiyyo na

o beloved, don't go


kabhi kabhi yun kare main daantu aur tum darna

sometime let me scold you and you pretend to be scared

ugal pade aankhon se feenke paani ka jharna

and you cry pretend tears

hmm tere kehre badan mein sil jaaungi re

we become so close that I become part of you

jab karwat lega tu chhil jaaungi re

so close that when you turnover, I would feel the sensation of friction

sang le jaaunga

I will take you with me

teri meri angni mangni

i am yours

and sang laagi sangni

you are my life partner

sang le jaaun

i will take you with me

o piyu re

o beloved

o saathi re din dube na
aa chal din ko roke
dhup ke peeche daude
chaanv chhue na
o saathi re

chithi aaii hai, pankaj udhas, (film: naam, 1986)

Chithi Aaii Hai Aaii Hai Chithi Aaii Hai
Chithi Hai Vatan Se Chithi Aayii Hai
Bade Dinon Ke Baad, Ham Bevatanon Ko Yaad
Vatan Kii Mittii Aaii Hai, Chithi Aaii Hai

Uupar Meraa Naam Likhaa Hain, Andar Ye Paigaam Likhaa Hain
O Parades Ko Jaane Vaale, Laut Ke Phir Naa Aane Vaale
Saat Samundar Paar Gayaa Tuu, Hamako Zindaa Maar Gayaa Tuu
Khuun Ke Rishte Tod Gayaa Tuu, Aankh Men Aansuu Chhod Gayaa Tuu
Kam Khaate Hain Kam Sote Hain, Bahut Zyaadaa Ham Rote Hain, Chithi

Suunii Ho Gain Shahar Kii Galiyaan, Kaante Ban Gain Baag Kii Kaliyaan
Kahate Hain Saavan Ke Jhuule, Bhuul Gayaa Tuu Ham Nahiin Bhuule
Tere Bin Jab Aaii Diivaalii, Diip Nahiin Dil Jale Hain Khaali
Tere Bin Jab Aaii Holii, Pichakaarii Se Chhuutii Golii
Piipal Suunaa Panaghat Suunaa Ghar Shamashaan Kaa Banaa Namuunaa
Fasal Katii Aaii Baisaakhii, Teraa Aanaa Rah Gayaa Baakii, Chithi

Pahale Jab Tuu Kat Likhataa Thaa Kaagaz Men Cheharaa Dikhataa Thaa
Band Huaa Ye Mel Bhii Ab To, Khatam Huaa Ye Khel Bhii Ab To
Dolii Men Jab Baithii Bahanaa, Rastaa Dekh Rahe The Nainaa Main To Baap Huun Meraa Kyaa Hai, Terii Maan Kaa Haal Buraa Hai
Terii Biivii Karatii Hai Sevaa, Suurat Se Lagatii Hain Bevaa
Tuune Paisaa Bahut Kamaayaa, Is Paise Ne Desh Chhudaayaa
Panchhii Pinjaraa Tod Ke Aajaa, Desh Paraayaa Chhod Ke Aajaa
Aajaa Umar Bahut Hai Chhotii, Apane Ghar Men Bhii Hain Rotii, Chithi
