Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों के नीचे हाँ आ
दुनिया को भूल दीवानी
अब रहा ज़माना पीछे(ह्म)
मैं सोया अँखियाँ मीचे
आ आ आ आ
ये कौन हसीं शरमाया
तारों को पसीना आया
दिल कौन चुराने आया
दिल कौन चुराने आया
मैं सोई अँखियाँ मीचे
तेरी बाँहों के नीचे
अब चाहे कहीं भी ले जा
तू आगे और मैं पीछे
मैं सोया अँखियाँ मीचे
आह आ आ आह आ आ आह आ आ
ये मेरे नैन कँवारे
तेरी अँखियाँ देख के हारे
ओ जनम-जनम के साथी
मेरी मांग में भर दे तारे
मेरी मांग में भर दे तारे
मैं सोया अँखियाँ मीचे हाँ आ
तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों के नीचे हाँ आ
दुनिया को भूल दीवानी
अब रहा ज़माना पीछे(ह्म)
मैं सोया अँखियाँ मीचे आ आ आ आ

मैं सोया अँखियाँ मीचे हाँ आ
I close my sleepy eyes, yes
तेरी ज़ुल्फ़ों के नीचे हाँ आ
Underneath your locks of hair, yes
दुनिया को भूल दीवानी
The world is forgotten, crazy I am
अब रहा ज़माना पीछे(ह्म)
Now the world is left behind
ये कौन हसीं शरमाया
Who is this beautiful one blushing
तारों को पसीना आया
The stars were envious
हिरणी की आँखें लेकर
With the deer-like eyes
दिल कौन चुराने आया
Who came to steal my heart
मैं सोई अँखियाँ मीचे
I close my sleepy eyes
तेरी बाँहों के नीचे
Underneath your arms
अब चाहे कहीं भी ले जा
Now take me anywhere you want
तू आगे और मैं पीछे
You move forward and I'll follow
ये मेरे नैन कँवारे
These are my lonely eyes
तेरी अँखियाँ देख के हारे
They lost themselves in your eyes
ओ जनम-जनम के साथी
Oh companion for eternity
मेरी मांग में भर दे तारे
Fill my forehead with stars

Asha needed 12 takes to record this song perfectly and Rafi Ji patiently waited for her to get it right.

@MrKukiSan Absolutely, both sisters were basically envious and jealous by nature, and fought with almost all the Master Composers of that era.
Their voices are drowned in their nature.
MrKukiSan
Yet she never misses an opportunity to cast aspersions on Rafi Sahib’s talent. So sad. 😢
Raj Kumar
No orchestra, no music, yet one of the most beautiful composition. Song totally dependent on the singers and what heavenly singing. Truly amazing.
