English Translation
|
| Ek machhar |
One mosquito |
| Ek machhar sala aadmi ko hijda bana deta hai |
One mosquito can turn a man into a eunuch |
| Ek khatmal poori raat ko apahij kar deta hai |
One bed bug can handicap the whole night |
| Sala ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hai |
One mosquito can turn a man into a eunuch |
|
|
| Mat aao mere paas |
Don't come near me |
| Rehne do mujhe akela |
Let me be alone |
| Ladne do mujhe apni ladai |
Let me fight my own war |
| Kabhi na kabhi toh jhoot ka gala ghotegi sachai |
Someday truth will squeeze the neck of lies |
| Lekin sala ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hai |
But still, one mosquito can turn a man into a eunuch |
|
|
| Subah ghar se niklo bheed ka ek hissa bano |
Leave your house in the morning to be a part of the crowd |
| Shaam ko ghar jao, daru peeyo, bache paida karo |
In the evening go home, drink alcohol and make babies |
| Aur subah talak phir ek baar mar jao |
And then die once again till the morning |
| Kyun ki aatma aur andar ka insaan mar chuka hai |
Since the soul and the human inside is dead |
| Jeene ke ghinaune samjhaute kar chuka hai |
One has made dirty compromises to live |
| Sala ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hai |
One mosquito can turn a man into a eunuch |
|
|
| Oonchi dukaan feeka pakwan |
The shops are big, but the goods are bad |
| Khaddar ki langoti, chandi ka pikdaan |
We have a cotton loincloth but a silverware to spit into |
| Sau mein se assi beimaan |
Out of 100, 80 are cheaters |
| Phir bhi mera desh mahaan |
But still my country is great |
|
|
| Topi lagaye machhar kehta hai |
Wearing a hat the mosquito says that |
| Desh ke logon mein samta ki bhavna aa rahi hai |
People of this country now believe in equality |
| Issi liye toh badi machli choti ko kha rahi hai |
That's why the big fish is eating the small fish |
| Hamare chune huye kutte hum mein hi katte hai |
Our own dogs are biting us |
| Hamare hisse ki botiyan aapas mein batte hai |
They are distributing our bones amongst themselves |
| Amanush gand se bhari inki aawaaz se nange raaste kaanpte hai |
The naked roads are shivering from their dirty inhuman voice |
| Kal paida huye bache, ek saans lete huye hapte hai |
Babies born yesterday can barely breath |
| Shaitaano ki najayaz aulad tehalka macha rahi hai |
The illegitimate children of devils are creating a havoc |
| Aur hum, hum bhagwan ke chahite janwar insaan |
And we the animal like beloved humans of God |
| Zindagi ko gaali banaye baithe hai |
Have made life into a curse |
| Kya kare, sala |
What to do |
| Sala ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hai |
One mosquito can turn a man into a eunuch |
|
|
| Giro saalo giro, giro, giro |
Fall as much as you want |
| Lekin giro toh us jharne ki tarah |
But if you fall, then fall like a waterfall |
| Joh parbat ki oonchai se girke bhi |
Which even after falling from a tall mountain |
| Apni sundarta khone nahi deta |
Doesn't lose its beauty |
| Zameen ki teh se milke bhi |
Even after touching the ground |
| Apni astitva ko nasht nahi hone deta |
It doesn't let its identity be crushed |
| Lekin itna sochne ke liye waqt hai kiske paas |
But who has the time to think all this |
| Kyun ki sala ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hai |
Because one mosquito can turn a man into a eunuch |
|
|
| Mandir, masjid ki ladai mein mar gaye lakhon insaan |
Many people have died in the fight of temples and mosques |
| Dharam aur mazhab ke naam pe ho gaye hazaron qurbaan |
Many people have died in the name of religion and faith |
| Jisne anyay ke virodh mein Baali ko mara |
The one who killed Baali against injustice |
| Ravan ko maut ke ghaat utara |
The one who killed Ravana |
| Punya ko paap se ubhara |
The one who made virtue bigger than sin |
| Mujhe us Ram ki talaash hai |
I'm looking for that Lord Rama |
| Magar lagta hai is yug ke Ram ko ajeevan vanvas hai |
But it looks like Lord Rama of this age is in exile forever |
| Kya kare |
What to do |
| Kyun ki sala ek machhar aadmi ko hijda bana deta hai |
Because one mosquito can turn a man into a eunuch |
|
|
| Yeh machhar |
This mosquito |
| Yeh machhar jiska keechadon mein ghar hai |
This mosquito has a house in the mud |
| Naaliyo mein basera hai |
He lives in the gutters |
| Iski pehchaan yeh hai ki |
His identity is that |
| Yeh na tera hai, na mera hai |
He's neither yours nor mine |
| Yeh machhar hijda bana dega, hijda bana dega |
This mosquito will turn you into a eunuch |
| Kabhi shaitaan aayenge |
Sometimes the devils will come |
| Mere darwaze par dastak denge |
And they will knock on my door |
| Mere zehan ki talashi lenge |
They will search my mind |
| Phir jal uthenge |
Then they'll burn |
| Us waqt main daroonga nahi |
In that moment I won't be scared |
| Apne shareer ko dhaal aur haath ko talwar banaonga |
I'll make my body into a shield and my hand into a sword |
| Ek na ek din toh tum mera haath choomoge |
One day or the other you'll kiss my hand |
| Karo, aaj mujhe badnaam karo nilaam karo |
Defame and auction me off today |
| Nilaami ke liye kya hai mere paas |
I have nothing with me for auctioning |
| Bas jalte huye aansuon ka ehsaas, maana |
I only have the emotions of burning tears |
| Magar main tumse badla loonga |
But I'll take my revenge from you |
| Tumhari aakhri boli par |
On your final bid |
| Mere do saanson ke beech ka thehrao |
The pause between two of my heartbeats |
| Tumhe fokat mein doonga |
I'll give you that for free |
| Kyun ki sala ek machhar ne tumhe hijda bana diya hai |
Because one mosquito has turned you into a eunuch |
|
