Yun to hum ne laakh haseen dekhe hain (Tum sa nahi dekha) - translation

[Suresh Menon]

Song: Yun to hum ne lakh haseen dekhe hain
Movie: Tum sa nahi dekha (1957)
Singer: Mohd. Rafi
Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi
Music: OP Nayyar

Yun to hum ne laakh haseen dekhe hain
Tumsa nahi dekha
Ho tumsa nahi dekha
Uff ye nazar uff ye ada
Kaun na ab hoga fida
Zulfein hain ya badaliyaan
Ankhein hain ya bijliyaan
Jaane kis kiski aayegi saza

Tum bhi haseen rut bhi haseen
Aaj ye dil bas mein nahi
Raaste khamosh hain
Dhadkane madhosh hain
Piye bin aaj hamein chadha hai nasha

Tum na agar bologe sanam
Mar to nahi jaayenge hum
Kya pari ya hoor ho itne kyun magroor ho
Maan ke to dekho kabhi kisi ka kaha
------------------------------------------------------------------

Though I've seen lakhs of beauties
Never saw one like you,
Yes, never saw one like you!
Oh this gaze! Oh this grace!
Who won't get floored in adoration?
Are these tresses or dark clouds,
Are these eyes or sparks of lightning?

You look alluring, so does this season
Today my heart is not in my control
The streets are reticent
My heartbeats are intoxicated
Without sipping a drop I've become inebriated

If you don't say a word, darling,
Don't think I'm going to die
Are you a fairy or a nymph? Why so much pride?
Listen to others once in a while

This confirms it.. Thanks Indu

[Jayashree (Bhoomiputhri)]

I guess it was OPN who first introduced this horse-hoof rhythm into songs.
later on we could hear it malayalam songs too.
Remember 'Priye pranayini' of Thilothama?

Suresh stand up on the bench!
you missed this line-
'Jaane kis kiski aayegi saza'

[Suresh Menon]

Sunny, have a look at this:

Obviously, they got it wrong. The problem is hindi music lovers don't have anything remotely equivalent to MSI.. We are so lucky

Sunny

[Sunny Joseph]

Chechi, you are the only one keeping Suresh on his toes... :-)

Sunny

[Variath Kutty]

Sunny - many other languages do not have anything like MSI.

Malayalees do not know how lucky they are! I mean this.

[Suresh Menon]

Is somebody tries to form an HSI, he'll be done for!!! The number of songs could be 3 times the number in Malayalam.

[Suresh Menon]

And I appreciate that, Sunny. I need people to point out my mistakes...

[Sunny Joseph]

Of course.. MSI is unparalleled in the world....we are all involved in something unique.. we are blessed...

[Sunny Joseph]

And I had played the song again with your translation in front of me and I still missed it...

[Variath Kutty]

All it takes for Hindi to have a HSI is a committed leader and

a bunch of dedicated volunteers.  I am not naming names.

Sunny, could you please update this corrected opening stanza in the blog?

Yun to hum ne laakh haseen dekhe hain
Tumsa nahi dekha
Ho tumsa nahi dekha
Uff ye nazar uff ye ada
Kaun na ab hoga fida
Zulfein hain ya badaliyaan
Ankhein hain ya bijliyaan

Jaane kis kiski aayegi kazaa

Wonder who all are going to die

[Sunny Joseph]

Haha...

[Sunny Joseph]

Kazaa = die.....  new information..

I'll update the blog

[Suresh Menon]

VMK sir, it'll be a Herculean task!!! But not impossible....

[Variath Kutty]

The journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step!

v m k 

[Jayashree (Bhoomiputhri)]

Suresh,why don't you try to make a beginning?
Since you are in Bombay,you'd be in touch with lots of like minded Hindi music lovers.
I am sure there will be a wealth of material and info.lying untapped,waiting to be discovered,
all over India.
Finally we can be proud that it is a Malayalee who set the ball rolling

[Suresh Menon]

Actually MSI is a great inspiration to start such a project. But who will bell the cat?

[Sunny Joseph]

The pool of volunteers should also be much much bigger..something to chew on Suresh....

[Suresh Menon]

Jayashree, unfortunately I'm not into web design or database management.

Then the huge volume... even in the thirties, 200 movies used to be made annually, with a dozen songs in each one of them!

Mindboggling figures!

[Suresh Menon]

Kazaa = death

Hayaat = life

Nice language!!

[Jayashree (Bhoomiputhri)]

Then sow the seed of an MSI like idea in a fertile mind you know among your friends

[Variath Kutty]

Go ! Suresh, go!

v m k 

[Suresh Menon]

I'll keep it as dream for the time being.

[Suresh Menon]

ശരി, ഞാന്‍ പോയേക്കാം.. :-)
