Lyrics of Shabanam Kyun Nir Bahaaye - शबनम क्यूँ नीर बहाये

shabanam kyun nir bahaaye
shabanam kyun nir bahaaye
duniyaa soye
aur ye roye jaaye
shabanam kyun nir bahaaye

jaise niradhan ke rone par
jaise niradhan ke rone par
hansate hai dhanavaan
vaise shabanam ke rone par
vaise shabanam ke rone par
kaliyo ki musakaan
shabanam roye
kaliyo kaa munh dhoye
apani jaan ganvaa kar pagali
jag me phul khilaaye
apani jaan ganvaa kar pagali
jag me phul khilaaye
shabanam kyun nir bahaaye
shabanam kyun nir bahaaye

murakh hai jo chaar ghadi ke
murakh hai jo chaar ghadi ke
jiwan par itaraate hai
hasate phulo ko dekho jo
hasate phulo ko dekho jo
khilate hi murajhaate hai
shabanam roye
murakh gaafil soye
ro-ro ke shabanam is jhuthe
jag kaa bhed bataaye
ro-ro ke shabanam is jhuthe
jag kaa bhed bataaye
shabanam kyun nir bahaaye
shabanam kyun nir bahaaye


lyrics of song Shabanam Kyun Nir Bahaaye

Poetic Translation - Lyrics of Shabanam Kyun Nir Bahaaye
Why does the dew weep tears?
While the world slumbers,
She weeps and perseveres.
Why does the dew weep tears?

Like the poor man's lament,
That the rich ones deride,
So the dew's weeping descent,
Brings smiles to the flowers, side by side.
The dew weeps,
Washes the flower's sleep.
Losing her life, the mad one,
Lets the world bloom and leap.
Losing her life, the mad one,
Lets the world bloom and leap.
Why does the dew weep tears?
Why does the dew weep tears?

Fools, for a fleeting hour,
In life's boastfulness, they reside,
Behold the laughing flower,
That blooms just to subside.
The dew weeps,
While the foolish sleep.
Weeping, the dew reveals,
This world's deception, so deep.
Weeping, the dew reveals,
This world's deception, so deep.
Why does the dew weep tears?
Why does the dew weep tears?
