NAAM GUM JAYEGA CHEHRA YEH BADAL JAYEGA
Performed by Anuradha Paudwal and Bhupindar Singh

Naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa
My name will be lost (disappear), my face will change
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember.

Naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa
My name will be lost (disappear), my face will change
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe.
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember.

Wakt ke sitam kam haseen nahee,
The atrocities done by time are also beautiful
Aaj hain yahaa kal kahee nahee
I’m here today, tomorrow who knows where
Wakt ke pare agar mil gaye kahee,
If I meet You someplace, beyond time
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember

Ho naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa
My name will be lost (disappear), my face will change
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe.
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember.

Jo gujar gayee, kal kee baat thee,
What has passed, is the past
Oh umar to naheen yek raat thee
It wasn’t life, it was just some kind of hope
Raat kaa siraa agar fir mile kahee,
If I find such a night again
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe.
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember.

Ho naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa
My name will be lost (disappear), my face will change
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe.
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember.

Din dhale jahaa raat paas ho
Where the day sets, the night lives near that place
Jindagee kee lau unchee kar chalo
Always hold the flame/torch of life high and move forwards
Yaad aaye gar kabhee jee udaas ho,
Whenever I think about it, my heart feels sad
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe.
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember.

Ho naam gum jaayegaa, cheharaa ye badal jaayegaa
My name will be lost (disappear), my face will change
Meree aawaaj hee pahachaan hai, gar yaad rahe.
My voice is my identity, only if You can remember

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Anuradha Paudwal and Bhupindar Singh for your rendition of this stunning 1977 classic by Gulzar and Burman. Every time I discover another of these treasures, I find my faith in humanity being renewed, the equivalent of unexpectedly finding a cool oasis after the scorching heat of a desert. So, so, so beautiful. At the risk of being accused of presumption, if I were the all powerful, even after having cursed mankind and intent on unleashing Armageddon, hearing this would leave me disarmed and weeping and giving us all yet another chance.

"Jindagee kee lau unchee kar chalo"

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
Guanaguanare
