तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी से कोई शिकवा

A particular phrase in this song caught my attention as I listened to it recently (I first listened to it when the movie got released, in 1975, when my knowledge of Hindi was a lot more rudimentary than what it is today):

तुम गर साथ हो, मंज़िलों की, कमी तो नहीं

The lyrics describe how a human being can feel empowered in another's presence, a powerful sentiment: "If you are with me, there is no limit to where we can go".

Considerable background to this song is provided in a blog post on the Internet: TERE BINA ZINDAGI SE KOI SHIKWA LYRICS AND TRANSLATION: LET’S LEARN URDU-HINDI

क्या खूब लगती हो, बड़ी सुन्दर दिखती हो

[A reader of this blog requests this song, primarily for its getting filmed in an Afghanistan locale].

Romantic exchange.


तुम ने किसीसे कभी प्यार किया है?


A female lover engages with the male to understand his romantic intentions, but the male has something else on his mind ... The female does not seem to fully comprehend the male: She, in her own dream world, hears him say दीदार as दिल हार.

It almost seems like a nice sounding Bollywood song can be composed, no matter what the emotional situation.

तुम आ गए हो, नूर आ गया हैं ...

In this song, the man sings about the importance of the new find, his lover, for his life. Without someone like her, life was proceeding aimlessly, etc. Although perhaps this is not always the case in real life, there is some truth to it: A marriage seems to provide proper structure to fulfil many - all? - aspects of life.

Translation is inspired by http://www.hindilyrics.net/translation-Aandhi/Tum-Aa-Gaye-Ho.html. I have changed some translations with the belief that the changes are for the better. You can also enjoy a YouTube video below.



नूर = light
