[pritam786]

Oh my God what a beautiful song sung by Lataji and picturised on gorgeous The most beautiful Madhubala, may God rest her soul in eternal peace..

Please give me a translation - or at least a general idea of what it means. Thanks.

@davidmccaldin as asked this is the rough translation: We are guests in this world With life span of 2 days only, We don’t know where our destination is This heart is full of desire and wishes but Where is the other heart that has similar beat? One flower of desire got burnt, the other one bloomed I lost some, my beloved gained a lot How can I plead to my fate, where are the colourful sittings with my beloved? We are guests in this world With life span of 2 days only,

2nd:As the dawn has started to break on this world Dark shadows have started to descent on this heat of mine, Every injury to heart of mine, has stated to wail How can I confess where is my tormentor We are guests in this world With life span of 2 days only, This heart is burning and emitting the smoke These eyes are shedding floods of tears By embracing death it will ease my pain & injuries But my living and departing is not so easy We are guests in this world With life span of 2 days only,

Perennial favorites! Soul touching song which reverberates in ours hearts for an infinite period of time and it will never end.

Such were the songs of the Golden Era , the quality of which has now deteriorated sadly to unimaginable standards!

[SATKUL]

I doubt if any other song will match this song for sheer melody and Lata's sweet voice.

Wow. Lat at her heart-tugging best. The opening aalaap grabs your heart like nothing else.  Shankar Jaikishen's was such creative composing career. Thanks Deepuvel for this great upload.

Thanks to SJ, Shailendra and Latha for giving this great song.

[chamogaa]

This is not just a honey-laden song sung by the heavenly Lataji, it is also poetry that moves one's heart. It is another one of those sublime lyrics from old Bombay when music had that kind of connection to poetic creativity--unlike today when the lyrics rarely rise above the pedestran level. Thanks for the post,deepuvel.

Kitna evergreen hai!

[buttegowda]

I agree 100%. The credit goes to all. We miss great people like Shailendra today.

Long live all these great people.
