Nahi Maloom Mujhko Kya Jagah Thi Lyrics Translation [Ali Zafar]

Movie: Total Siyappa
Music: Ali Zafar
Lyrics: Aqeel Rubi
Singer: Ali Zafar, Fariha Parvez

This one is something like imported from Pakistan as we have leading Pakistani singer Fariha Pervez supporting Ali in a song, and Aqeel Rubi writing the lyrics. An interesting combination, which probably hasn't been seen before.

Nahi maaloom mujh ko kya jagah thi
wo jahaan main tha
Thi mehfil raqs mein, masti mein
bekhud kal jahaan main tha

I don't know what place it was,
where I was..
The gathering was in dance, having fun,
where I was intoxicated yesterday.

Lab-o-rukhsaar hanste thay
Dar-o-deewar gaate thay
Darakte thay, matakte thay badan
Kal shab jahaan main tha

Lips and cheeks smiled,
doors and walls sang,
bodies beat and dance
where I was last night..

Nahi maloom mujhko kya jagah thi
wo jahaan main tha
Thi mehfil raks mein, masti mein
bekhud kal jahaan main tha

Ajab tha Mir mehfil
Gazab tha Mir-e-Mehfil
Pari tha hoor tha woh
Saara baanoor tha wo
Ki sadke uspe saare
Dil-o-jaan uspe haare

The leader of the gathering was strange,
The leader of the gathering was wonderous,
(s)he was a fairy, a beauty of heaven,
(s)he was all shining with divine light,
so much that I sacrifice all on her,
I lost my heart and life to her..

Thi jannat se bhi badhkar
wo jagah kal shab jahaan main tha

It was even above the heavens,
the place I was at yesterday

Nahi maloom mujhko kya jagah thi
wo jahaan main tha
Thi mehfil raqs mein, masti mein
bekhud kal jahaan main tha

Lab-o-rukhsaar hanste thhe
Dar-o-deewar gaate thhe
Darakte thhe, matakte thhe badan
Kal shab jahaan main tha

  2. Nice job! One little comment. I'd say the line "Ajab tha Mir mehfil" means "the gathering of leaders was strange". In the following line, Mir-e-Mehfil is perfectly translated as "leader (or host) of the gathering"
