Lyrics and translation Nahid Akhtar - Do Nain Kanwal




Do Nain Kanwal
Two Eyes the Lotus
Ghunghat me ghaneri raat liye
In her veil, she conceals the dark night
Aanchal me bhare barsat liye
In her shawl, she carries the rain
Ghunghat me ghaneri raat liye
In her veil, she conceals the dark night
Aanchal me bhare barasat liye
In her shawl, she carries the rain
Kuch paye huye, kuch khoye bhi
She has gained some, lost some
Kuch jage bhi, kuch soye bhi
She has woken some, slept some
Kuch soye bhi...
She has slept some...
Do nain kaval, do nain kaval
Two eyes the lotus, two eyes the lotus
Chanchal asha ke baan liye
Carrying the flight of whimsical desire
Gambhir ghata ka maan liye
Bearing the pride of a somber cloud
Chanchal asha ke baan liye
Carrying the flight of whimsical desire
Gambhir ghata ka maan liye
Bearing the pride of a somber cloud
Sawan ke sajal sangeet bhare
Filled with the music of the rainy season
Kuch aas bhare, kuch jeet bhare
Bearing some hope, some triumph
Kin galiyon deep jalaye sakhi
In which streets, my friend, has she lit lamps?
Kin galiyon deep jalaye sakhi
In which streets, my friend, has she lit lamps?
Yeh bhaware kitt mandalaye sakhi
How these bees bewilder, my friend?
Yeh bhaware kitt mandalaye sakhi
How these bees bewilder, my friend?
Sapnose bojhal bojhal
Her dreams heavy, heavy
Do nain kaval, do nain kaval
Two eyes the lotus, two eyes the lotus
Kuch ghabaraye, kuch sharmaye
Some frightened, some shy
Kuch sharma sharma itaraye
Some shy, some teasing
Kuch ghabaraye, kuch sharmaye
Some frightened, some shy
Kuch sharma sharma itaraye
Some shy, some teasing
Kuch uljhi suljhi ashaye
Some entangled hopes, unraveled
Kuch bujhi bujhi bhashaye
Some extinguished languages, reignited
Sakhi bhede bhedana bhajaye
My friend, let the differences dissolve
Sakhi bhede bhedana bhajaye
My friend, let the differences dissolve
Naino se ojhal ojhal
Concealed from my eyes
Do nain kaval, do nain kaval
Two eyes the lotus, two eyes the lotus
Do nain kaval, do nain kaval
Two eyes the lotus, two eyes the lotus
