Reham-o-Karam Lyrics' Meaning

aaj phir din hua
phir armaan jagne lage
chahaten uthi, nayi,
lo seene mein benaam si,
khwahishen dabi hui
kai dilon mein kayi
kya hua kyon bhala
dil mazaron se ho gaye

today, again it was a new day
again, there were new wishes,
there were new likings,
in the heart, nameless,
wishes, that were pressed
many (of them) in many hearts,
what happened, why
hearts have become like tombs (the ones over graves)

reham-o-karam ho jaaye dobara
reham-o-karam ho jane do ishara
reham-o-karam ho jaye dobara
reham-o-karam ho jane do khudara
let mercy be there again
mercy and compassion, let there be a signal
let mercy be there again
o God, let there be mercy

tere bina sardi mein wo garmi si na rahi
na garmi mein hai tere pyaar ki thandak
ho.. tere bina badle saare mausam kyun is tarah
kuch bolo lab kholo do ye bata
taras gayi, baras gayi ab ye nazar
de do mujhe zindagi nayi

without you winter doesn't have that feeling of heat
neither does summer have the coolness of your love
without you why have all the seasons changed like that
say something part your lips tell (me)
these eyes have waited a lot, they're raining now
give me a new life..

raham-o-karam ho jaaye dobara
raham-o-karam ho jane do ishara
raham-o-karam ho jaye dobara
raham-o-karam ho jane do khudara

dekho na, tere bina ajnabi tanha main
jaise hoon, rootha hua waqt se ek lamha main
aake tu mana le
hans le hansa le
rootha rootha jee na paunga
yaadein sabhi ye poochhe har ghadi
tere kyun hain bata aansu chhalke

look, I'm a lone stranger without you
As if I'm a moment angry with time
come, placate me
laugh, (and) make me laugh
I cannot live upset and angry (with you)
all the memories ask me all the time
"tell me why are tears falling from your eyes."

rehem-o-karam ho jaaye dobara
rehem-o-karam ho jane do ishara
rahem-o-karam ho jaye dobara
rahem-o-karam ho jane do khudara

let mercy be there again
mercy and compassion, let there be a signal
let mercy be there again
o God, let there be mercy
