Recently famous Indian Singer Shamshad Begum left all of us at the age of 94 for her heavenly abode. We held a programme remembering her. In this video, Dr.Ila Prakash speaks about Shamshadji and I sang her song “Bachpan ke din.’ Posting the lyrics and their English translation below….
Hoooo
Bachpan Ke Din Bhulaa Na Denaa
Bachpan Ke Din Bhulaa Na Denaa
….Do not forget these childhood days
Aaj Hanse Kal Rulaa Na Denaa – 2
….Today we laugh but don’t let me cry tomorrow
Hoooo
Bachapan Ke Din Bhulaa Na Denaa
….Do not forget these childhood days
(Lambe Hain Jeevan Ke Raste
….The paths of life are long
Aao Chale Ham Gaate Haste)-2
….Let us walk on them laughing and singing
Gaate, Hanste
….laughing and singing
Aaa…. Aaaaa….
(Door Desh Ek Mahal Banaayein
…..Let us build a palace in a far-off land
Pyaar Kaa Jis Mein Deep Jalaayein)-2
…..Where we will light a lamp of love
Deep Jalaayein
……lamp of love
Deep Jalaakar Bujhaa Na Denaa
……After lighting this lamp do not put it off
Aaj Hanse Kal Rulaa Na Denaa
….Today we laugh but don’t let me cry tomorrow
Hoooo
Bachpan Ke Din Bhulaa Na Denaa
….Do not forget these childhood days
(Rut Badale Yaa Jeevan Beete
…..Seasons may change or life may go on
Dil Ke Taraane Hon Na Puraane)-2
……The melodies of heart never grow old
Aahaha…Aahahaha…….
Nainon Mein Ban Kar Sapne Suhaane
……My eyes see wonderful dreams
Aayenge Ek Din Yahee Zamaane
……of these times coming one day
AaHaaaaaaa……
Nainon Mein Ban Kar Sapne Suhaane
……My eyes see wonderful dreams
Aayenge Ek Din Yahee Zamaane
……of these times coming one day
Yahee Zamaane

Yaad Hamaaree Mitaa Na Denaa
…..Do not erase my memories
Aaj Hanse Kal Rulaa Na Denaa
