ACTOR DEV ANAND IN GUIDE .... O TRAVELER ! WHERE SHALL YOU GO ? WHO IS THERE WHOM YOU CALL AS YOUR OWN ?

                                                                 

VAHAAN  KAUN  HAI TERA ?   DEVANAND IN GUIDE

Vahaan kaun hai teraa,

Musaafir, jaayegaa kahaan

dam lele ghadi bhar,

ye chhaiyyaan payega kahaan

wahaan kaun hai teraa

“kehte hain gyaani,

duniyaa hai faani

paani pe likhi likhaayi

hai sabki dekhi,

hai sabki jaani

haath kisi ke na aayi

kuchh tera naa mera,

musafir jaayega kahaan”

“Tuney to sab ko, raah bataayi

Tu apni manzil kyon bhoolaa

Suljha ke Raaja, Auron ki Uljhan

kyon kachchey dhaagon mein jhoolaa

Kyon Naachey sapera

Musaafir jayega kahaan……”

“Beet gaye din,Pyaar ke pal-chhin

sapna bani woh raatein

Bhool gaye woh,

Tu bhi bhulaa dhe

pyaar ki woh mulaaqaaten

Sab Door Andhera,

Musafir, jaayega kahaan”

“Koyee bhi teri, Raah na dekhe

Nain bichhaaye na koyee

Dard se teray , koyee na tadpaa

Aankh kisi ki na royee

Kahey kis ko tu meraa,

Musafir jaayega kahaan”

( Shailendra )

.............My simple English Rendering   of this Great  Song would be …….

"Who is there whom you call your own ?

O Traveller ! Where will you go Now ?

Rest a while ,

No where shall you get this cool comfort ,

Who is there whom you call your own ?"

 “ The wise say ,

“ This world is an Illusion ,

Like a script written on water Surface “

Every one is familiar to it ,

Every one experiences it ,

Yet None could lay hold over it ?

Do You Own anything over here ?

Do I own anything over here ?

…………………………………O Traveler ! Where will you go ?”

"You , Who played A guide to others ,

You forgot your own Goal, Why so?

You , A majestic ,

Freeing others from troubles ,

Got knotted in weak strands ; Why so ?

Now , You ,

Like a snake charmer ,

Dance on your own Music .

……………………………………..O Traveler ! Where will you go ?”

"Those days are nowhere to be found now ,

Those moments of Love have also vanished ,

Those Nights ! Just Dreams now .

That person has forgotten all ,

You too forget it ,

Forget all those love loaded proximities .

Now Darkness remains the only travel companion for a long distance .

………………………………….O Traveler ! Where will you go ?”

“None waits for you over there,

None is on your look out ,

None cried in your agony ,

And None wept in your pain .

Now , Whom shall you Call as your own ?

…………………………..O Traveler ! Where will you go ?”

Peace be to the soul of Sachin-da for singing and composing Music for this Great Song. Peace to the soul of Devanand and Lyricist Shailendra ..

And long live Waheeda Rehman. None like you Madam....
