Tere Bheege Badan Ki Khushboo Se by Mehdi Hassan with English Translation


Tere bheege badan ki khusboo sey
Lehrey bhi hoi'n mastani si
Teri zulf ko choo ker aj hoi, khamosh hawaa deewani si
Your wet body thrills the water with its enticing perfume,
your streaming hair drives the gentle winds into silence
that borders on insanity!

Yeh roop ka kund'han dehka huwa
Yeh roop ka Koondhan dehka huwa
yeh jism ka chandan mehka huwa, mehka huwa
ilzam na dena phir mujh ko
ilzam na dyna pher mujh ko
hojahey agar nadani si
The mere touch of your sizzling body, gleaming with golden glow,
sends me into ecstasies of delight!
Don't accuse me of loving too much, wanting to possess you,
for I cannot fathom the workings of my own mind--lost in confusion!

b'hikra huwa kajal ankho'n mie'n
b'hikra huwa kajal ankho'n mie'n
thoofan ki halchal sanso'n mie'n, sanso'n mie'n
yeh naram labo ki khamoshi
yeh naram labooo ki khamoshi
palko'n mie'n chupi herani si
Your ruby red lips provide the nectar to my unquenchable thirst,
your sparkling eyes far outshine the twinkling of the stars in the firmament,
the scattered kohl begging to linger a while longer before it is
completely washed away by the vengeful tide!
My breathing comes and goes in spasms, gone astray like
a storm let loose before it finally abates!
The flutterings of your eyelashes disturb the rhythm of my
heartbeats, pounding against my chest, tight with desire!
And I am lost, lost forever, drowned in the perfumed river
of your intoxication!

Nindiya Re by Coke Studio with English Translation


haule haule raaton ko
slowly slowly at nights
chupke se aaja re
ever so quietly come over
nindiya re nindiya re
dear sleep dear sleep
akhiyon men samaaja re
befall my eyes
nindiya re
dear sleep
kaheen door sitaaron pih
somewhere far in the stars
chanda ke ishaaron pih
Twilight moons directions
palne ko tere jo
to grow with you
pariyon ne jhulaaya re
Fairies that have swung
nindiya re
dear sleep
jugnu panchhi pyaare pyaare
luminescent fireflies birds lovely lovely
tere sapne bunen
your dreams have woven
neend bhari in aankhon se teri
to you sleepy dreamy eyes
chupke se kahte rahen
silently the path says
soja re soja re
sleep dear sleep dear
sapnon men khoja re
lose beautifully in dreams
soja re soja re
sleep dear sleep dear
sapnon men khoja re
beautifully lost in dreams
nindiya re
dear sleep

I had a good relationship with darkness
Tune Hi Ujaalon Se Waaqif Kiya
You were the one who acquainted me with light
Ab Lauta Main Hoon In Andheron Mein Phir
Now I’ve come back again into the darkness
Toh Paaya Khud Ko Begaana Yahaan
And I find myself alone here
Tanhaayi Bhi Mujhse Khafa Ho Gayi
Loneliness is upset with me
Banjaron Ne Bhi Thukra Diya
Even barren land have rejected me
Main Adhoora Jee Raha Hoon
I’m living like an incomplete being
Khud Par Hi Ek Sazaa Hoon
I’m a punishment on myself
Mujhe Teri Zaroorat Hai… (x2)

Hmm... Tere Jism Ki, Woh Khushbooein
The fragrance of Your body
Ab Bhi Inn Saanson Mein Zinda Hain
Is still alive in my breath
Mujhe Ho Rahi Inse Ghutan
I’m feeling suffocated because of them
Mere Gale Ka Yeh Phanda Hai
They are like a rope tied around my neck
Aaaa…
Ho... Tere Choodiyon Ki Woh Khanak
Jingling of Your bangles
Yaadon Ke Kamre Mein Goonje Hai
Is still echoing in the room of my memories
Sunkar Isse Aata Hai Yaad
On listening to it I remember
Haathon Mein Mere Zanjeerin Hain
That there’s shackles (handcuffs/chains) in my hands
Tu Hi Aake Inko Nikaal Zara
You only come and take them off
Kar Mujhe Yahaan Se Riha
Release me from them
Main Adhoora Jee Raha Hoon
I’m living like an incomplete being
Ye Sadaayein De Raha Hoon
I’m calling out to You
Mujhe Teri Zaroorat Hai… (x3)
I just need You
