Lyrics of Door Papeeha Bola Raat Aadhi Rah Gayi - दूर पपीहा बोला रात आधी रह गई

dur papiha bola raat aadhi rah gayi
meri tumhaari mulaaqaat baaqi rah gayi
dur papiha bola raat aadhi rah gayi
meri tumhaari mulaaqaat baaqi rah gayi

mera dil hai udaas jiya mand-mand hai
mera dil hai udaas jiya mand-mand hai
baadalo ke ghere me chaand nazar-band hai
baadalo ke ghere me chaand nazar-band hai
baadal aaye par barasaat baaqi rah gayi
baadal aaye par barasaat baaqi rah gayi
meri tumhaari mulaaqaat baaqi rah gayi
dur papiha bola

aankh michauli kheli, jhula jhum ke jhule
aankh michauli kheli, jhula jhum ke jhule
ban me chameli phuli ham bahaar me bhule
ham bahaar me bhule
par deni thi jo saugaat baaqi rah gayi
par deni thi jo saugaat baaqi rah gayi
meri tumhaari mulaaqaat baaqi rah gayi
dur papiha bola raat aadhi rah gayi
meri tumhaari mulaaqaat baaqi rah gayi
dur papiha bola


lyrics of song Door Papeeha Bola Raat Aadhi Rah Gayi

Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Door Papeeha Bola Raat Aadhi Rah Gayi
The distant cuckoo calls, the night, half-spent,
Our meeting yet unlived, heaven-sent.
The distant cuckoo calls, the night, half-spent,
Our meeting yet unlived, heaven-sent.

My heart is veiled in sorrow's misty shroud,
My breath, a whisper lost among the crowd.
The moon, a prisoner in the cloud's dark keep,
The moon, a prisoner in the cloud's dark keep.
Though clouds arrived, the rain, it did not weep,
Though clouds arrived, the rain, it did not weep,
Our meeting yet unlived, heaven-sent.
The distant cuckoo calls...

We played at hide-and-seek, the swing did sway,
We played at hide-and-seek, the swing did sway,
The jasmine bloomed, and we lost our way,
In spring's embrace, we lost our way.
The gift we longed to give, its time, unspent,
The gift we longed to give, its time, unspent,
Our meeting yet unlived, heaven-sent.
The distant cuckoo calls, the night, half-spent,
Our meeting yet unlived, heaven-sent.
The distant cuckoo calls...

Beloved song for me; it continues to amaze.
Thank you for keeping its memory alive with nice presentation. I think
Gopal Singh Nepali (G S Nepali) was the lyricist. Confirmation awaited.

Very true, as lyrics say in this song. Keep on listning whole night will be over but you can't stop listning again and again. Suraiya with Anil Biswas's music. takes us back in our sweet memories.

What a naturally sweet voice...unlike the high pitched screamers that
succeeded her...!
