    Lillah! [(Praise be) to Allah!

    ]
    I'm lost for words... I mean, really.
    What a perfect way to describe someone so divinely
    stunning she takes your breath away! This song is so
    beautiful that the word 'beautiful' doesn't even begin
    to describe it. 100% pure poetry.
    Let's not waste any time, and jump right to the
    translation part :)
    Lyrics, and translation
    Bekaraan hain bekaraan,
    Aankhein band keeje na
    Doobne lage hain hum,
    Saans lene deeje na
    [[Bekaraan = Infinite, limitless
    Will you please close your deep, enormous eyes;
    because I'm getting drowned in these? At least let
    me breath.
    Kanu's comments: Ever since I came to know the
    meaning of word bekaraan, I've been in love with it.

    'Infinite eyes' is such a beautiful expression. I think


    it is Pablo Neruda-esque.]]
    Lillah!
    [Praise be to the Lord! (for creating such a divine
    beauty)]
    Ek zara chehra udhar keeje, inaayat hogi
    Aapko dekh ke, badi der se, meri saans ruki hai
    [[Will you please do me a favor and turn your face
    the other way? Because your beauty has taken my
    breath away. And if I keep looking at you, I'll surely
    lose my breath.]]
    [Bekaraan hain bekaraan...]
    1. Ek zara dekhiye to
    Aapke paaon tale
    Kuchh to atka hai kahin
    Waqt se kahiye chale
    [[Have a look, I think there's something (stuck)
    under your feet. Oh, it is time that has gotten stuck

    there. Now would you give it the permission to


    move? Because it stops when you stop.
    Kanu's comments: What a beautiful way to say that
    the time stops to look at your beauty when you stop.
    And how utterly it is ruined in translation!]]
    Udti-udti si nazar
    Mujhko chhoo jaaye agar
    Ek tasleem ko har baar meri aankh jhuki hai
    [[When you even fleetingly look at me, I lower my
    eyes in salutation.]]
    [Aapko dekh ke badi der se meri saans ruki hai]
    2. Aankh kuchh laal si hai
    Raat jaage to nahin
    Raat jab bijli gayi
    Darr ke bhaage to nahin
    [[Your eyes seem a little bloodshot, I hope you
    didn't stay awake last night. I hope the power cut last
    night didn't scare you.]]

    Kya laga honth tale


    Jaise koi chot chale
    Jaane kya soch ke is baar meri aankh jhuki hai
    [[What is it (like a bruise) under your lips?
    I don't know what thought just crossed my mind,
    which has made me lower my gaze.
    Kanu's comments: I didn't really get the essence of
    this para ... Was it in reference to how Irrfan Khan
    plays the role of a sadistic, abusive husband who
    used to beat Priyanka up? Help - anyone who has
    seen the movie?]]
    [Aapko dekh ke badi der se meri saans ruki hai]
    [Bekaraan hain bekaraan...]
    Aankhein teri bekaraan
    Aasmaan hi aasmaan
    had totally forgotten about this song till I heard it the
    other day on the radio. Another beautiful song from
    the same movie is Bekaraan (with the interspersed
    dialogues), but I will leave the latter for some other
    time.

    Right now its awaaraMaster Saleems voice


    sounds perfect for this slightly dark song.what a
    beautiful comparison of the wandering nature of the
    heart with that of a dry leaf tossed aimlessly by the
    wind.
    Awaara Awaara Awaara Awaara Awaara
    Hawa pe rakhe sookhe patte, awaara
    Paaon zameen pe lagte hi ud lete hai dobara
    Vagabond, Vagabond ..
    Like the dry leaf floating in the air
    As soon as your feet touch the ground, you are ready
    to fly again
    Naa shaak jude , na jad pakde
    Mausam mausam banjaara
    Awaara
    Neither can you keep yourself attached to a
    branch, Nor can you hold on to the ground like the
    roots

    You are like a nomad, that changes from season to


    season
    Jhonka jhonka ye hawa, roz udaaye re
    Jaaki daar gayi , wo to beet gaya
    Jaaki maati gayi, waka meet gaya
    koi na bulaaye re
    Every day, gusts of winds toss you around
    Once you detach from the branch, you are a thing of
    the past
    Once you detach yourself from your conscience, you
    loose your friends
    No one will ever want you back
    rut rang liye aayi bhi gayi
    muthiyaan na khuli, berang rahi
    sookha patta banjara
    Awaara
    The season will bring all its colors

    But with your closed palms, you will remain


    discolored
    You are a nomad, like the dry leaf
    Sargam : ni ni ni sa sa ni ni ni sa sa re re sa sa
    (10) pa dha pa ma ma pa ma ga ga ma ga re sa re
    ga sa
    Haule haule ye hawa, khel khilaaye re
    Khole dhoop kabhi, ghole chaanv kabhi
    kabhi pankh bane, bane paanv kabhi
    dhool dikhaaye re,
    koi thaah na mili, na hawa na zameen,
    na umeed ugi, na dilaasa kahin
    udta jaaye bechara
    Awaara
    Gentle breeze plays with you,
    It flies you into the sun, and sometimes leave you in
    the shade

    It forms your wings at times, and at times it becomes


    your legs
    And drags you into the dust
    But you never find a place to stay, neither can you
    float in the air, nor stay on the ground
    Neither do you find hope, nor comfort anywhere
    Poor thing! you just keep flying
    My interpretation : The way I see this song, looks
    like the dry leaf and the wind are a reference to
    the human heart and destiny (or time or life). Its how
    the heart always keeps wondering, going from one
    though to another, one desire to another. Just when
    one feels that its time to settle, the heart expresses
    another desire and so the journey begins again. It is
    hard for the heart to remain attached to a thought (a
    person or a place), or remain grounded (like the
    roots), it likes to be on the move all the time.
    Destiny is sometimes like this strong gust of wind
    that detaches the leaf from the tree i.e frees the heart
    of all its previous attachments, but just like the
    leaf becomes dull and colorless, similarly when
    free to wander one is distanced from family and

    friends (freedom comes with a price). And then


    even if the season changes from fall to spring, the
    leaf cannot get back its color, just like the heart can
    never be the same again.
    At other times destiny is like this gentle breeze, that
    plays with our hearts. It gives us some happy times
    and some sad ones. It helps us fly or walks us
    through the ground and finally shows us the dust
    (reality). But the heart is never stable, it always
    wants something that it does not have and always
    likes to go in search of the unknown.
    In the movie I think the song refers to the nature of
    the female protagonist in the movie : Priyanka
    Chopra, who looks for love everywhere, but never
    finds true love, and she keeps searching for true
    love, never being satisfied with what she has, never
    ready to make adjustments and form a stable
    relationship with the men who come into her life,
    just like a dry leaf tossed by the wind, just like a
    vagabond.

    O Mama (7 Khoon Maaf): Lyrics, Translation

    o mama o mama
    o mama o mama
    dil se hi ab sochta hai dil mera o mama
    sar ko aksar nochta hai dil mera o mama o mama
    ab khair to nahi koi bair to nahi
    dushman jiye mera
    wo bhi gair to nahi
    jo dil gaya gaya
    my heart thinks only with heart now,
    my heart often tears the head (now),
    now (everything) is not well, (but) there is no
    rivalry,
    may my rival live,
    he's not some alien* either,
    when the heart went, (it just) went..
    (gair is used for someone out of the family n friends,
    stranger, or someone you are supposed to keep
    distance from)

    o mama, kanche maare


    billi jaisi aankhon wali
    ek myaun si ladki
    o mama
    oonghe kabhi soonghe kabhi
    jhanke kabhi aaun kabhi
    kabhi jaaun si ladki
    o mama...
    O mama, hits me with marbles,
    one with cat eyes,
    a girl like meow,
    o mama,
    sometimes dozes, sometimes smells,
    sometimes peeks, sometimes coming,
    sometimes a girl like going..
    o mama...
    aise dabe paon aaye wo ki chaap na ho
    o mama, o mama
    khwab mein mil jaaye lekin wo khwab na ho

    o mama, o mama
    ummeed to nahi phir bhi ummeed ho
    koi to is tarah aashiq shaheeed ho
    koi gaya gaya
    o mama...
    (she) comes in such a silent manner that there is no
    sound,
    o mama, o mama,
    she meets me in the dream but that's not a dream,
    o mama, o mama,
    there is no hope, but still there be hope,
    at least some lover be martyred like that,
    someone went, ah went...
    o mama...

    the song is beautiful... simple to understand the
    words individually... there's surely a more
    complex meaning to the totality of the song...
    sentences mean deeper than the words
    themselves... can't clearly understand that
    underlying meaning... can someone help?

    @DJ
    It's basically about a person who has almost
    finished himself for someone else, but still the
    person in question takes him casually, and thus
    there is a strange kind of frustration which is
    definitely mixed in love.
