Agle Janam Mohe Bitiyaa 1 Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Umrao Jaan 2006
Ab jo kiye ho data, aisa na keejo
What you did this time, Oh God, don’t do it again…
Agle Janam mohe bitiya na keejo
Don’t let me come as a daughter in my next birth
Hamre sajanwa hamra dil aisa toran,
My beloved broke my heart in such a way….
u ghar basaayin hamka rastaa ma choran
He married someone else, and left me standing on the road
jaise ke lalla koi khilauna jo paawe,
Just like how a baby finds a toy…
dui chaar din to khile, phir bhul jaawe
to play with for a few days, only to forget afterwards
Ro bhi na paawe issi gudiya na kijiyo
Do not make me like this doll, who can’t even shed her tears…
Agle janam mohe bitiya na kijiyo
jo ab kiye ho data aisa na kijiyo
Aisi bidaai bolo dekhi kahin hai
Tell me, have you ever seen a bride sent off like this
maiya na babul bhaiya, kauno nahin ha
Mother, father, not even a brother, there is no one
aasoon ke gehne aur dukh ke hai doli
With only tears as her jewellery, and sadness as her palanquin
Bandh kiwaliya more ghar ki yeh bolie
Says the closed door of my house
Iss aur sapno mein bhi aayaa na keejo
please don’t visit me now, not even in my dreams…
