Magic In Tunes: 05/09/2015 – Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai Ke Hum Kuch Nahin Kehte

From the 1958 hit Hindi film Adalat ( = Court), this soulful ghazal was Sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Music was composed by Rajinder Krishan and Lyrics penned by Madan Mohan. Incidentally Rajinder Krishan had wrote the Screenplay and Dialogues too for the movie. This Ghazal has so much meaning within it much more than what I could translate here.



Lyrics in Romanized in Hindi with Translation (A little help from Google):

Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Apni Tho Yeh Aadat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte, Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai

He Has This Complain That I Do Not Say Anything
But Its My Nature That I Do Not Say Anything

Majboor Bahut Karta Hai Yeh Dil Tho Zubaan Ko
Yeh Dil Tho Zubaan Ko
Majboor Bahut Karta Hai Yeh Dil Tho Zubaan Ko
Yeh Dil Tho Zubaan Ko
Kuchh Aisi Hi Haalat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte, Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai

My Heart Compels My Tongue To Speak Several Times
But My Situation Doesnt Allow Me To Say Anything

Kehne Ko Bahut Kuchh Tha Agar Kehnepe Aate
Kehnepe Aate
Kehne Ko Bahut Kuchh Tha Agar Kehnepe Aate
Kehnepe Aate
Duniya Ki Inaayat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte, Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai

There Were Several Things To Say If I Wanted to Say
The World's Kindness That I Do Not Say Anything

Kuchh Kehne Pe Toofan Utha Leti Hai Duniya
Utha Leti Hai Duniya
Kuchh Kehne Pe Toofan Utha Leti Hai Duniya
Utha Leti Hai Duniya
Ab Ispe Qayamat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte

If I Say Something, The World Would Turn Into A Storm
Yet Its A Catastrophe That I Am Keeping Quite
Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Apni Tho Yeh Aadat Hai Ke Hum Kuchh Nahi Kehte
Kuchh Nahi Kehte, Unko Yeh Shikayat Hai
