Paroles et traduction Gulzar - Baarish

Baarish

Der tak baithe hue dono ne baarish dekhi...
Wo dikhati thi mujhe bijli ke taaron pe latakti hui boondein.
Jo taqub me thi ek dusre ke.
Aur ek dusre ko chhute hi taaro se tapak jati thi.

Mujhko ye fikr ke bijli ka current
Chu gaya nangi kisi taar se toh.
Aag ke lag jane ka bhayas hoga.

Usne kaagaz ki kai kashtiyaan paani me utaari.
Aur ye keh ke baha di ke.samander me milenge...

Mujhko ye fikr, ke is baar bhi sailab ka paani...
Kud ke utrega kohsahr se jab.
Tod ke le jayega ye kachhe kinaare.

Ouk me bharke wo barsaat ka paani...
Adhbhari jheelon ko tarsaati rahi.
Wo bohut choti thi, kamsin thi,
Woh masoom bohut thi.
Aabisharon ke tarannum pe
Kadam rakhti thi...
Aur goonjti thi.

Aur main umr ke ifkaar me ghoom...
Tajurbe-humraah liye...,
Saath hi saath mein
Behta hua... chalta hua... behta gaya

Rain

We sat for a long time watching the rain...
She showed me raindrops clinging to the electric wires,
Chasing each other.
And falling from the wire as soon as they touched each other.

I worried that the lightning current
Might strike a naked wire.
Causing a terrible fire.

She floated several paper boats in the water,
And let them flow away saying, We'll meet in the ocean...

I worried that the floodwaters of this storm
Will rise from the mountains
And carry away these fragile banks.

Filling her mouth with rainwater,
She teased the half-full ponds.
She was so young, so innocent,
So naive.
Her footsteps on the cobblestones
Created melodies
That echoed through the streets.

And I, lost in contemplation of life...
Accompanied by experiences...,
Together with her
Flowed... walked... drifted
