Minnat Kare Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Paheli
Movie : Paheli
Song : Minnat Kare
aadhii raat jab chaand DHale aur koii na ho pichhvaaRe mein
At midnight, when the moon goes down and there’s no one in the back garden,
chaap dabaake thaaRii rahiyo tuu aaRe mein
quietly wait for him behind a veil.
aadhii raat jab chaand dhale aur koii na ho pichhvaare mein
At midnight, when the moon goes down and there’s no one in the back garden,
chaap dabaake thaaRii rahiyo tuu aaRe mein
quietly wait for him behind a veil.
minnat kare
If he pleads…
na maaniyo
Don’t give in!
paiyyaan pade
If he falls at my feet,
na maaniyo
don’t give in!
agar voh haan kah de
If he says yes…
na kahana
then say no!
voh na kah de
If he says no…
haan kahana
Then say yes!
jaan kii qasam de to
And if he swears on his life…
aadhii raat jab chaand dhale aur koii na ho pichhvaare mein
At midnight, when the moon goes down and there’s no one in the back garden,
chaap dabaake thaarii rahiyo tuu aare mein
quietly wait for him behind a veil.
minnat kare na maaniyo
If he pleads with you, don’t give in!
paiyyaan pade na maaniyo
If he falls at your feet, don’t give in!
ji bhar na bole koii ghuunghaT na khole koi
You shouldn’t speak your heart, or lift your veil;
akhiyaan dikha diijiyo
but do let him see your eyes.
baataan mein uljhaae to
If he tries to trip you up with words,
puuchhe jo samjhaaye to mundiya hila diijiyo
then asks if he should explain, shake your head.
darvaaje se kaanen lagaake suntii hongii sab sakhiyaan
All your friends will have their ears pressed to the door, listening
laaj-vaaj ko chhor-chhar kar kundii kivaare mein
brazenly through the door-latch.
minnat kare na maaniyo
If he pleads, don’t give in!
paiyyaan pade na maaniyo
If he falls on his knees, don’t give in!
jaa jaa na daal pahelii barson ke baad sahelii
Off with you, my friend, don’t confuse me now, when after so many years,
jagne kii raat aaii hai
a night not meant for sleeping has finally arrived!
dekha kartii thii sapna sapne to aakhir apna
I’ve dreamed these dreams for so long, and finally
kahane kii raat aaii hai
the night has come to call those dreams my own!
dekh paraaye qasmon se tuu jaltii kyon hai
Look, why are you so jealous of other people’s promises to each other?
byaah kar le
Get married yourself!
duur duur se taak jhaank
Watch us from afar,
mat aaja ukhaaRe mein
but don’t come and ruin it!
aadhii raat jab chaand DHale aur koii na ho pichhvaaRe me.n
At midnight, when the moon goes down and there’s no one in the back garden,
chaap dabaake thaaRii rahiyo tuu aaRe me.n
quietly wait for him behind a veil.
minnat kare na maaniyo
If he pleads with you, don’t give in!
paiyyaa.n paRe na maaniyo
If he falls at your feet, don’t give in!
guRiyaa paTole more Dolii mein rakhvaa diijo
Put my puppets in the wedding palanquin;
naanii kahaanii laave bhaiyya ko bulva diijo
bring my grandmother’s story and call my brother.
Dolii galii mein kharii…
The palanquin is waiting in the lane…
maiyya ko lekar jaave sang bhii jaao sahelii
Bring mother, and come with your friends.
baabul re baabul torii jaaye na jaaye akelii
Don’t let father go alone!
jaa’e na jaa’e akelii
Don’t let him go alone!
Dolii galii mein kharii…
The palanquin is waiting in the lane…
