Chhukar Mere Manko

Movie Name: Yaarana (1981)Singer: Kishore KumarMusic Director: Rajesh RoshanLyrics: Anjaan

Chhookar Mere Man Ko Kiya Toone Kya Ishaara
Badla Yeh Mausam Lage Pyaara Jag Saara

Tu Jo Kahe Jeevan Bhar Tere Liye Maein Gaoon
Geet Tere Bolon Pe Likhta Chala Jaoon
Mere Geeton Mein Tujhe Dhoonde Jag Saara
Chhookar Mere Man Ko

Aaja Tera Aanchal Yeh Pyaar Se Maein Bhar Doon
Khushiyaan Jahan Bhar Ki Tujhko Nazar Kar Doon
Tu Hi Mera Jeevan Tu Hi Jeene Ka Sahaara
Chhookar Mere Man Ko
****
You caressed my thoughts and what a turning point it was!
The whole scene is transformed; now I quite like this world.

Now I can go on singing for you for ever, if you like
and will compose lyrics on your utterances,
such that the world will search for you in my songs.
You caressed...

Let me put tons of love on you
and gift all the joys in the world to you
for you are my life and the reason for living
You caressed...

Maairi Mein Kaase Kahun Peer apne Jiyaki

Madan Mohan/Majrooh/Dastak/Lata, also Madan Mohan/1971
(Suggested by Mrs and Mr Ashok Gopal, Pune)

Whom shall I tell of the pain that sears my heart, mother? Oh, mother!

Have been straining my eyes waiting for my beloved, no one to soothe!
Want to be drenched body and mind, no clouds in the sky!
Waiting to be swept off the feet, no waves come this way!
On the banks of the river, I lie in thirst!

Sitting on the path of the beloved, my pallu has become dusty
The face has paled and eyes dulled without kaajal
If somebody sees me like this, can I ever talk about this matter of my beloved?
Tresses mine carry the dust of separation.

My beloved roams every day in my reverie
but he does not come and touch my arms.
Where will I take this pain of the union with my beloved?
Even after getting the beloved, love remains unfulfilled.
