Jahanpe Sawera Ho Basera Wahin

As requested by Z. Been busy, but am still working on your requests. Sometimes the title of the post (title of the song) will differ from the way I type the lyrics out because in the title, I try to maintain the spelling on the original soundtracks (OSTs) for easy reference.

Film: Baseraa
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Gulzar
MD: Rahul Dev Burman

Kabhi Paas Baitho, Kissi Phool Ke Paas
sometime sit close to some flower
Suno, Jab Mehakta Hai, Bahut Kuch Yeh Kehta Hai
listen, when it becomes aromatic (gives off fragrance; blooms), it says a whole lot
Kabhi Gun-Guna Ke, Kabhi Muskura Ke,
somtimes humming, sometimes smiling
Kabhi Gun-Guna Ke, Kabhi Muskura Ke
Kabhi Chupke Chupke, Kabhi Khil-Khila Ke
sometimes quietly, sometimes laughingly
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai
where the morning rises, that is where one's home is
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai

Kabhi Chhote Chhote Shabnam Ke Katre

Kabhi Chhote Chhote Shabnam Ke Katre
Dekhein Tau Honge Subh-o-Saveray

you have probably seen early in the morning, sometimes, small drops of dew
Yeh Nanhi Si Aankhein Jaagi Hai Shabh Bhar
these small eyes stay awake all night
Bahut Kuch Hai Dil Pe, Bas Itna Hai Labh Par
there is a whole lot on my heart, but just this on my lips:
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai
where the morning rises, that is where one's home is
Jahan Pe Savera Ho, Basera Wahin Hai

Na Mitti, Na Gaarah, Na Sona Sajaana
do not adorn it with dirt, nor mud, nor gold
Na Mitti, Na Gaarah, Na Sona Sajaana
Jahan Pyar Dekho, Wahin Ghar Banana
wherever you see love, make your house there
Yeh Dil Ki Imarat Banti Hai Dil Se
the heart's home is made by the heart
Dillasaun Ko Chhu Ke, Umeedon Se Mil Ke
touching consolation, meeting hopes
Jahan Pe Savera Ho...
(singer makes a sound like oh no as she reverses the line)
Jahan Pe Basera Ho, Savera Wahin Hai
where your house is , that is where your morning will rise
Jahan Pe Basera Ho, Savera Wahin Hai
