Lyrics and translation Shamshad Begum feat. Mohammed Rafi - Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan - From "C.I.D."




Yeh Hai Bombay Meri Jaan - From "C.I.D."
This Is Bombay My Dear - From "C.I.D."
Ai dil hai mushakil jeena yaha
My heart finds it tough to live here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Ai dil hai mushakil jeena yaha
My heart finds it tough to live here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Kahin building kahin traa
A building here, a tram there
Me kahin motor kahin mill
I'm near a car, then near a mill
Milata hai yaha sab kuchh
You find everything here
Ik milata nahin dil
Just one thing I cannot find, my love
Kahin building kahin traa
A building here, a tram there
Me kahin motor kahin mill
I'm near a car, then near a mill
Milata hai yaha sab kuchh
You find everything here
Ik milata nahin dil insaaf ka
Just one thing I cannot find, my love, justice
Nahin kahin naam o nishaan
There's no sign of it anywhere
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Ai dil hai mushakil jeena yaha
My heart finds it tough to live here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Kahin satta kahin patta
Gambling here, betting there
Kahin chori kahin res
Theft here, bribery there
Kahin daaka kahin phaan
Robbery here, noose there
Ka kahin thokar kahin thes
A stumble here, a blow there
Kahin satta kahin patta
Gambling here, betting there
Kahin chori kahin res
Theft here, bribery there
Kahin daaka kahin phaanka
Robbery here, hanging there
Kahin thokar kahin thes
A stumble here, a blow there
Bekaaro ke hain kai kaam yaha
There's a lot of work for the unemployed here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Ai dil hai mushakil jeena yaha
My heart finds it tough to live here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Beghar ko aavaara yaha
The homeless and vagrants here
Kehate hans hans
Seem to laugh out loud
Khud kaate gale sab ke
Each one cuts his own throat
Kahe is ko business
And calls it business
Beghar ko aavaara yaha
The homeless and vagrants here
Kehate hans hans
Seem to laugh out loud
Khud kaate gale sab ke
Each one cuts his own throat
Kahe is ko business
And calls it business
Ik cheez ke hain kai naam yaha
There are different names for the same thing here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Ai dil hai mushakil jeena yaha
My heart finds it tough to live here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Bura duniya jo hai kehata
The world may call it bad
Aisa bhola tu na ban
Dear, don't be so naive
Jo hai karta vo hai bharta
He who does it prospers
Ye jaha ka hai chalan
That's the way of the world
Bura duniya jo hai kehata
The world may call it bad
Aisa bhola tu na ban
Dear, don't be so naive
Jo hai karta vo hai bharta
He who does it prospers
Ye jaha ka hai chalan
That's the way of the world
Dadageera nahi chalne ki yaha
There's no room for bullies here
Ye hai bambai ye hai bambai
This is Bombay, this is Bombay
Ye hai bombay meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bombay meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Ai dil hai mushakil jeena yaha
My heart finds it tough to live here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Ai dil hai aasaan jeena yaha
My heart finds it easy to live here
Suno mister suno bandhu
Listen mister, listen friend
Yeh hai bambai meri jaan
This is Bombay my dear
Ai dil hai mushakil jeena yaha
My heart finds it tough to live here
Zara hat ke zara bach ke
Just keep a distance, just dodge it
Ye hai bambai meri jaan.
This is Bombay my dear.
