Lyrics Jagjit Singh - Baat Niklegi To Phir

Baat Niklegi To Phir, by Jagjit Singh. Written by Kafeel Azar.
Baat Niklegi To Phir…Door Talak Jayegi
(If word goes out, it will spread too far)
Log Bewajah, Udasi Ka Sabab Poochenge
(People will, without reason, probe at the cause behind your sorrow)
Yeh Bhi Poochenge, Ki Tum Itni Pareshan Kyun Ho
(They will also ask about why you are so troubled)
Ungliyan Uthengi, Sookhe Baalon Ki Taraf
(Fingers will be raised to your dry [unwashed] hair)
Ek Nazar Dekhenge, Guzreh Huye Saalon Ki Taraf
(There will glance suspiciously at the years gone by)
Chudiyon Pe Bhi, Kayi Tanz Kiye Jayenge
(Even your bangles will become the subject of jokes/wisecracks)
Kaapten Haathon Pe Bhi, Fikre Kase Jayenge
(Even the old and the aged, whose hands tremble, will not hesitate to taunt you…)*
Log Zaalim Hai, Harek Baat Ka Taana Denge
(People are cruel, they will taunt you for every single thing)
Baaton Baaton Mein, Mera Zikr Bhi Le Aayenge (2)
(Somewhere in the conversation, they’ll mention me too)
Unki Baaton Ka Zara Sa Bhi Asar Mat Lena…
(Don’t give their words any significance [attention] at all…)
Warna Chehre Ke Tasur Se Samajh Jayenge
(Or the expression on your face will give it all away)
Chahe Kuch Bhi Ho, Sawaalat Na Karna Unse (2)
(No matter what happens, don’t question/argue with them)
Mere Baare Mein Koi Baat Na Karna Unse
(Don’t talk about me with them)
Baat Niklegi To Phir…Door Talak Jayegi
(If word goes out…it will spread too far)
