Aap ki yaad aatee rahee raat bhar
Chashm-e-nam muskaratee rahee raat bhar
The night was haunted by your memories
And my teary eyes smiled all night long

Raat bhar dard ki shamma jaltee rahee
Gham ki lau thartharatee rahee raat bhar
The candles of pain kept the night awake
And the flames of sadness kept flickering all night long

Bansuri ki surilee suhanee sada
Yaad ban ban kay aatee rahi raat bhar
Ah, the sweet soulful yearning of the flute
Kept tugging at my memories all night long

Yaad kay chaand dil mein utartay rahay
Chandni jagmagatee rahi raat bhar
As the moons of a memory would set in my heart
The moonlight kept shining like a beacon all night long

Koi dewaana galiyon mein phirta raha
Koi aawaz aati rahi raat bhar
A forelorn lover kept wandering the streets
And a voice could well be heard all night long

“Aap ki yaad aati rahi raat bhar”
Chaandni dil dukhaati rahi raat bhar
The night was haunted by your memories
And the moonlights made my heart bleed all night long

Gaah jalti hui, gaah bujhti hui
shamm-e-gham jhilmilaati rahi raat bhar
Restlessly, it flickered at times, at times it didn’t
The flame of sadness kept shining all night long

Koi khushboo badalti rahi pairahan
koi tasveer gaati rahi raat bhar
A fragrance kept changing its body all night
And a portrait kept singing all night long

Phir sabaa saaya-e-shaakh-e-gul ke talay
koi qissa sunaati rahi raat bhar
And again, in the shades of blossomed tree
A gentle breeze narrated some tales  all night long

Jo na aaya use koi zanjeer-e-dar
har sadaa par bulaati rahi raat bhar
The chains of the courtyard, with every call,
Sought him, who did not turn up, all night long

Ek ummeed se dil behalta raha
Ek tamanna sataati rahi raat bhar
A hope kept my heart at bay
And a desire kept burning within all night long



Aap Ki Yaad Aati Rahi Raat Bhar Chandani ( Tina Sani ) - Faiz Ahmed Faiz

Yeh dhuwan sa (with English translation)
(Poet : Meer taqi Meer  Singer : Mehdi Hassan)


dekh to dil k jan se uthta hai
ye dhuan sa kahan se uthta hai

gor kis dil-jale ki hai ye falak
shola ik subah yan se uthta hai

khana-e-dil se zinhar na ja
koi aise makan se uthta hai

nala sar khenchata hai jab mera
shor ek asman se uthta hai

larti hai us ki chashm-e-shokh jahan
ek ashob wan se uthta hai

sudh le ghar ki bhi shola-e-awaz
dud kuch ashiyan se uthta hai

baithne kaun de hai phir us ko
jo tere astan se uthta hai

yun uthe ah us gali se ham
jaise koi jahan se uthta hai

ishq ik 'Meer' bhari paththar hai
bojh kab natawan se uthta hai

---------------- English Translation --------------

My heart you sight or my soul; there it arose.
Fumes darted right, from where it arose?

O Sky! Who, burnt-heart is buried in this grave?
A fireball- first light there it arose.

‘Never leave the room of my heart, ‘I felt
Seeing you in the house quite the way you arose.

When my brain strained with dire pain.
A din at the heights there it arose.

Where her playful eyes arrests the view.
A fount of fright geared to arose.

Think of home O melodious sound,
A smoke cloud slight, in the nest, there it arose.

Who will let him settle down again?
From your doorstep upright, there he arose.

I got up from your street as if,
One might leave the world, for his death arose.

O! Meer, Love is a massive rock.
Can a weak man fight the load that arose?
