Kabhi khwaab mein ya khayal mein. Singers: Talat Aziz and Dilraj Kaur - YouTube

Kabhi khwab mein ya khayal mein
Kabhi zindgani ke dhar pe
Mai adhura sa ek geet hu
Mujhe arth de to sawar ke
Kabhi khwab mein ya khayal mein

Wo benaam si koi jusatju
Wo apne aap se guptgu
Wo benaam si koi jusatju
Wo apne aap se guptgu
Tujhe chhu liya to mujhe laga
Tujhe chhu liya to mujhe laga
Din aa gaye hai tharar ke
Kabhi khwab mein ya khayal mein

Mere dil ki nagari me bas bhi jaa
Tujhe bakas du zami aasma
Mere dil ki nagari me bas bhi jaa
Tujhe bakas du zami aasma
Mujhe dar hai teri aawargi
Mujhe dar hai teri aawargi
Kahi dono jaha na ujad de
Kabhi khwab mein ya khayal mein

Na mili thi tum to tha ji raha
Na milogi to na ji pauga
Na mili thi tum to tha ji raha
Na milogi to na ji pauga
Meri tisnagi ko jaga diya
Meri tisnagi ko jaga diya
Tere sath ne tere pyar ne
Kabhi khwab mein ya khayal mein

Go aaj pahli ye raat hai
Tere hath me mera hath hai
Go aaj pahli ye raat hai
Tere hath me mera hath hai
Tha bahot dino se ye fasala
Tha bahot dino se ye fasala
Tujhe jit lungi mai har ke
Kabhi khwab mein ya khayal mein.

 

Jag as promised this translation attempt it for you..though i personally believe no translation can do justice to poetry, especially ghazals...

Hazaaron khwahishen aisi ke har khwahish pe dam nikle
(Thousands of desires, each desire is worth dying for...)

Bahut nikle mere armaan, lekin phir bhi kam nikle
(I have fulfilled some of them, but yet have more..or you could say feels very few have been fulfilled..)


Daray kyon mera qaatil? kya rahega us ki gardan par?
(Why should my killer (but here it means lover) fear/be afraid,
Who is going to hold her responsible/ who is going to place the blame on her neck/head)
Voh khoon, jo chashm-e-tar se umr bhar yoon dam-ba-dam nikle
For the blood that will trickle through my eyes life long....



Nikalna khuld se aadam ka soonte aaye hain lekin
(I have heard of adam being thrown out of paradise)
Bahot be-aabru hokar tere kooche se hum nikle
(I have come out of your street with more disgrace/humiliation..)


Bharam khul jaaye zaalim! teri qaamat ki daraazi ka
The illusion of your beauty, character would be disclosed,O, traitor
Agar is tarahe par pech-o-kham ka pech-o-kham nikle
If I let down my hair from my turban(it just means that if he opens his mouth as he would remove his turban to loosen his hair..)

Magar likhvaaye koi usko khat, to hum se likhvaaye
(If anybody wants to write her a letter, do so through me)
Hui subaha, aur ghar se kaan par rakh kar qalam nikle
(Come morning, and I go out of the house with a pen in my ear)

Hui is daur mein mansoob mujh se baada aashaami
(It was then I turned to the the intoxication of drinking)
Phir aaya voh zamaana, jo jahaan mein jaam-e-jaam nikle
(Then came the age, where my world was only alcohol and more alcohol)

Hui jin se tavaqqa khastagi ki daad paane ki
(Expected to hear praise/justice (here he could mean reprimand) for my weakness (drinking) )

Voh ham se bhi zyaada khasta e tegh e sitam nikle
(looks like they too are more hurt by the same sword, the same ailment..could be referring to her/friends)

Mohabbat mein nahin hai farq jeenay aur marnay ka
(there is no difference in the living and dying when in love
Usi ko dekh kar jeetay hain, jis kaafir pe dam nikle
(I live seeing her, the one who is not a muslim (though some say infidel), but who I die for..)

Zara kar jor seene par ki teer-e-pursitam niklejo
(please put some pressure on your heart to remove that cruel arrow,)
Wo nikle to dil nikle, jo dil nikle to dam nikle
(When the arrow comes out, so will the heart and so will life...or he could mean his lover too.)


Khuda ke waaste parda na kaabe se uthaa zaalim
(For the love of god (or for gods sake or fear of god), don’t lift the veil of your secrets you tryant, (actually the kaabe means the sacred stone in mecca which is the direction the muslims pray..so he could be meaning something else too..)
Kaheen aisa na ho yaan bhi wahi kaafir sanam nikle
(who can guess, it could be her my non-muslim lover)

Kahaan maikhane ka darwaaza Ghalib aur kahaan vaaiz
(There is quite a distance between the entrance to the bar (maikhane) and to preachers home)
Par itna jaantay hain kal voh jaata tha ke ham nikle
(Yet I saw him also entering the same bar,as I was leaving it ..)

 

gulzar ka janam din and had such a great treat of his songs on radio and this one haunts. he has a way with words..


Main ek sadi se baithi hoon...iss raah se koi guzraa nahi
kuchh chaand ke rath to guzre the..par chaand se koi Guzraa nahi

yeh din aur raat ke pahiye bhi kuchh dhool udaa kar beet gaye
main mann aangan main baithi rahi chaukhat se koi guzraa nahi
