Tum Pukar Lo (Khamoshi)

Tum pukar lo, Tumhara intezaar hai, Tum pukar lo

Call out loud and let know,

I await you.

Reach out to me, my love.

Khwaab chun rahi hai raat, beqarar hai

Choosing from dreams aplenty,

Restless is the lady of the night.

Honth pe liye hue dil ki baat ham

Jaagte rahenge aur kitni raat ham

Burdened are these lips of mine,

With matters of the heart.

Sleepless shall you make me remain ,

for nights how many more?

Muqtasar si baat hai tum se pyaar hai

Succinctly said a simple fact: I love you

Dil bahal to jaayega is khayal se
Haal mil gaya tumhara apne haal se

Contended my heart shall be

With these thoughts of you and me.

For she knows how you feel,

Is a reflection of how she feels.

Raat ye qaraar ki, beqarar hai.
Tumhara intezaar hai.

Restless is this night  meant to be restful.

I await you.

Khalee haath shaam aayee hai

Khaalee Haath Shaam Aayee Hai, 
Khaalee Haath Jaayegee

Empty handed has the evening come,
Empty handed shall she return.

 Aaj Bhee Naa Aayaa Koee, 
Khaalee Laut Jaayegee 

Yet another day has passed by,
With any sight of you nowhere in full or part,
Yet again shall twilight come by,
Empty handed indeed she shall depart.

 Aaj Bhee Naa Aaye Aansoo, 
Aaj Bhee Naa Bheege Nainaa


Yet another day has passed by,
Too stoic have I become to cry.
Yet another evening shall pass by,
Weep as much as I, my eyes remain dry.

 Aaj Bhee Ye Koree Rainaa,
 Koree Laut Jaayegee

Yet another day has passed by,
Blank into the horizon, I stare.
Yet another evening shall pass by,
And in to the void shall she fare.

 Raat Kee Siyaahee Koee,
 Aaye To Mitaye Naa
 Aaj Naa Mitaayee To Ye,
Kal Bhee Laut Aayegee

Bare is this dark dye of the night
With your coming shall this path light.
If not wept clean tonight,
Morrow shall return the darkness of the night.

Tera Bina (Guru)

Dum dara dum dara mast mast
Dara dum dara dum dara mast mast
Dara dum dara dum dum
Oh humdum bin tere kya jeena (2)

My dear, my very breath,
What is life without you?

Tere bina beswaadi beswaadi rathiyan oh sajna (2)
Ho, rookhi re oh rookhi re
Kaatoore kaate re, katenaa
(Dum dara..)

Without you, tasteless these nights are, my love,
Dry and parched indeed, these nights are , my love,
Try as I might, they don't seem to pass by

Na jaa; chaakri ke maare
Na jaa; souten pukaare,
Saawan aayega to puchega
Naa jaa rey
Pheeki Pheeki beswaadi yeh rathiyan.
Kaatore kaate na kate na
Ab tere bina sajna sajna
Kaate kate na (2)
(Dum dara...)

Don't you go dear, if work summons you
Don't you go dear,if your other wife(work) calls you
If the rains come, they will ask for you
Don't you go dear, don't you go
Faded and without luster these nights are,
Now, in your absence,
Even time has come to a standstill.

Tere bina chand ka sona khota re
Peeli peeli dhool udaave jhoota re
Tere bina sona peetal
Tere sang keekar peepal
Aaja kate na ye rathiyan
Tere bina beswaadi beswaadi rathiyan oh sajna
(Dum dara...)

Without you, the luster of the moon is false
Specks of golden dust flying around are false (reference to moonlight)
Sans you, gold has become brass
With you,the dry keekar has become a lush peepal
Come my love, for these nights won't pass without you
