CHINGARI KOI BHADKE
Thanks to Nisha!
| chi.ngaarii koii bhaRke to saavan use bujhaa'e | If a spark flares up, then the rains might extinguish it; |
| saawan jo agan lagaa'e use kaun bujhaa'e | but if the rains light a fire, who can put it out? |
| patjhaR jo baag ujaaRe voh baag bahaar khilaa'e | If the autumn lays waste to a garden, the spring will bring that garden into flower; |
| jo baag bahaar me.n ujaRe use kaun khilaa'e | but if that garden is destroyed in the springtime, who can make it bloom? |
| ham se mat puuchho kaise ma.ndir TuuTa sapno.n ka | Don't ask me how the temple of dreams shattered; |
| logo.n kii baat nahii.n hai yeh qissa hai apno.n ka | it is not a matter for the people, this is a story for intimates. |
| koii dushman THes lagaa'e to miit jiya bahalaa'e | If some enemy strikes you a blow, your friend will cheer your heart; |
| manmiit jo ghaav lagaa'e use kaun miTaa'e | but if a loved one inflicts the wound, who will erase it? |
| na jaane kya ho jaata jaane ham kya kar jaate | Who knows what would happen, who knows what we would do. |
| piite hai.n to zi.nda hai.n na piite no mar jaate | If we drink then we live; not drinking, we die. |
| duniya jo pyaasa rakhe to madiraa pyaas bujhaa'e | If the world thirsts, then wine will quench it. |
| madiraa jo pyaas lagaa'e use kaun bujhaa'e | But if the wine thirsts, who can satisfy its need? |
| maana tuufaan ke aage nahii.n chalta zor kisii ka | I understand that in the face of a storm, no one's force will work. |
| maujo.n ka doSH nahii.n hai yeh doSH hai aur kisii ka | But this isn't the fault of the waves; someone else is to blame. |
| ma.njhdhaar me.n naiya Dole to maa.njhii paar lagaa'e | If in midstream a boat rocks, then the sailor can cast it ashore. |
| maa.njhii jo naav Duboye use kaun bachaa'e | But if the sailor sinks it midstream, who can save it? |
KUCHH TO LOG KAHENGE
| kuchh to log kahe.nge logo.n ka kaam hai kahana | People will say things; it's their business to talk. |
| chhoRo bekaara kii baato.n me.n kahii.n biita na jaa'e raina | Ignore their useless chatter, lest the night never end. |

| phir kyo.n sa.nsaar kii baato.n se bhiiga ga'e tere naina | So why do your eyes grow moist hearing the world's chatter? |
| kuchh to log kahe.nge logo.n kaa kaam hai kahana | People will say things; it's their business to talk. |

| hamko jo taane dete hai.n ham kho'e hai.n in ra.ng-raliyo.n me.n... | Those who taunt us for being lost in debauchery... |
| hamne unko bhii chhupa chupke aate dekha in galiyo.n me.n | we've come secretly and silently and seen them here, in these lanes. |
| yeh sach hai jhuuTHii baat nahii.n tum bolo yeh sach hai na | This is the truth, not a false rumor; tell me, isn't this the truth? |
| kuchh to log kahe.nge logo.n kaa kaam hai kahana | People will say things; it's their business to talk. |
