Auliya Lyrics Translation | Ungli

Movie: Ungli
Music: Salim-Sulaiman
Lyrics: Kumaar [unconfirmed]
Singer: Armaan Malik
Label: Sony Music

In this spiritual song, the protagonist is asking his Guide, his Protector, that is God, as to why he's in a dilemma, in the bad situation where he is, when he did everything the right way, the way it should have been done.

Haari ankhiyon ka sapna bhi haara haara
Sooni ratiyon mein jaise koi toota taara
Ummeed ki baati se kyun lau hai roothi roothi
Kaise jalaaun phir shamaa

The dream of lost eyes is a lost one too,
like some star breaking (away from the sky) in a deserted night
[so that there is darkness with loneliness]
How do I burn the candle again

Auliya mere rasta dikha
Girte ko uthna sikhaa haye
Awliya mere rastaa dikha

O my guide, show me the way.
teach the one who's falling how to get up
O my guide show me the way..

Auliyaa..

O my protector..

Tune hatheli ki tedhi lakeeron mein di hain
naimatein yaa likhi sazaa hai
Hum ne hamesha sar-aankhon pe rakhi hai
Jo bhi teri razaa hai

In these curvy lines of palms, have you give
your blessings, or have you written a punishment for me there?
I've always obeyed religiously
Whatever your wish is..

teri nazar mein suna hai kahin zyaada darza
duaaon se hai koshishon ka
jo ho rahaa hai wo anjaam hai
koshishon ka ya haadsa hai
Hain mere saamne aaj do kashtiyaan
Din kisi ek ka nakhuda*...

I've heard that in your eyes,
Efforts are given more importance than blessings..
What is happening though, is it a result
of efforts or is it an accident?
There are two boats in front of me,
And the day is the sailor for one of them..
[That is, the day is going to sail one of these boats across, but I don't know which boat, i.e.which option of the two should I choose.]

Auliya mere rastaa dikha
Girte ko uthna sikhaa haye
Auliya mere rasta dikha

* Many websites have broken the word down into two separate words na and khuda. The word here is nakhuda which means a boatman, sailor, the one who would sail the boat that is being talked about in the same sentence.

Chhoo Lein Aasmaan Lyrics Translation | Farhan Akhtar/ MARD

Singers: Farhan Akhtar, Salim Merchant

You can give the following link (http://www.hwgo.com/intl/hi/index.html) to anyone who wants to know how to use internet.

Kehte hain padh likh kar aakhir kya karogi
Tum ko to kisi ka ghar basaana hai
Kehte hain tum ho amaanat doosron ki
Un se kaho apni bhi zid hai
Todein hum saare ye pinjre..

They say what'd you do getting educated,
you have to finally just be a housewife for someone.
They say you belong to someone else,
Tell them, we too are determined,
we'll break all these cages.

Chhoo lein aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet lein
Badlein daastan, har dhadkan bole

Let's touch the sky, let's win this world.
Let's change the story, every heartbeat says..

Kehte hain, bete budhaape ka sahara hain
Betiyaan, bas ek bojh hain
Kehte hain, jo bura hua tera kusoor hai
Un sey kaho, apni bhi zidd hai
Todein hum saare ye pinjre

They say, sons are helpful for old age,
and daughters are just a burden..
They say, whatever bad happened, is you fault,
Tell them, we too are determined,
we'll break all these cages.

Chhoo lein aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet lein
Badlein daastan, har dhadkan bole

Har zarra ye kahe, ab hum hai sang tere
Roke se na rukein.. hey, hey...
Har qatra cheekh ke, dohraaye sang mere
Ab roke na rukein.. hey, hey...
Chhu lein aasmaan..

Every particle says, we are with you now,
We won't stop..
Every drop (of blood, of body) shouts out, repeats with me,
Now we won't stop..
Let's touch the sky..

Koi agar hum se pooche, kaun hain hum
Chaahein hum jo bhi hain, apni pehchaan kahe
Jab tak hai humaare beech baraabari na ho
Tab tak kaise, khud ko hum insaan kahein..

If someone asks us who we are,
Our identity says, we are whatever we wish to be.
Unless there is equality amongst us,
Till then how can we call ourselves humans..

Chhoo lein aasmaan ye jahaan hum jeet lein
Badlein daastan, har dhadkan bole
