“DO ANKHEN BARAH HAATH”

Today I wish to start my first posting of this month with one of the best Favourite song from the subcontinent.This song is one that really moves me. The lyrics, the music everything. Bharat Vyas wrote the immortal song ‘Ae malik tere bande hum’.The lyrics of Bharat Vyas are amazing from the word go. The song is the pick of the lot.

A great composition by vasant desai an excellent and unforgettable evergreen song to be remembered for ever by all generation. I use to sing this in school assembly prayers. Old memories. Precious wordings. Every stanza is golden and pierces our heart!

This all time great and delightful song is from the movie “DO ANKHEN BARAH HAATH”.The song is a very inspiring song.The song is the best ever made on humanistic ideals. When I feel, I am in the throes of despair,I resort myself to this song and there is a surge of upliftment in my spirits.

This song says “Hey great god, we are your kid, plz be kind to us and always put us on the right track of kindness, honesty. And we shall always remember you, so that we can live a happy and meaningful life. Life is tough and it has lots of gloom and darkness, but I am sure you are with me, and I will never follow the wrong path, no matter how difficult things become for me.

Aye maalik tere ba.nde ham
Oh Lord, we are your people/devotees/servants
aise ho hamaare karam nekii par chale.n aur badii se Tale.n
Let our deeds be such We walk on the good path and shunning the evil
taaki ha.nsate huye nikale dam
So that the final breath can be taken with a smile.
1st stanza
Ba.Daa kamazor hai aadamii, abhii laakho.n hai.n isame.n kamii.n
Man is still very weak,He has still thousands of shortcomings
par tuu jo kha.Daa, hai dayaaluu ba.Daa
But here you stand are very generous
terii kripaa se dharatii thamii
Your grace hold the earth together
diyaa tuune hume jab janam tuu hii jhelegaa ham sabake Gam
When you gave us birth, You will tolerate all of our pains and evils
2nd stanza
Jab zulmo.n kaa ho saamnaa, tab tuu hii hame.n thaamnaa
When we face injustice, You take a hold of us
Vo buraaI kare.n ham bhalaaI bhare.n
They inflict harm, we pour compassion
nahii.n badale kii ho kaamanaa
may we not have any wishes for revenge
ba.Dh uThe pyaar kaa har kadam, aur miTe bair kaa ye bharam
may each step of love take hold, and break the shroud of kindness

3rd stanza
ye a.ndheraa ghanaa chhaa rahaa
Pitch darkness is setting in,
teraa inasaan ghabaraa rahaa
Mankind is in turmoil and agitation
ho rahaa bekhabar, kuchh na aataa nazar
In a diminishing state of consciousness, nothing is visible
sukh kaa suuraj chhipaa jaa rahaa
The sun of comfort is disappearing
hai terii roshanii me.n vo dam
The energy of Your light, which is so powerful
jo amaavas ko kar de puunam
can brighten up a moonless night in to moonful night
