kya baat hai? chehre par muskan bhee naheen? naaraaz ho? itne khubsurat chehre par kum se kum muskaan to honi chaahiye.

(What is it? Not even a smile on your face? Are you upset? There should be a smile on such a pretty face.)

A Smile is a Funny Thing

A smile is quite a funny thing
It wrinkles up your face
And when it's gone, you'll never find
Its secret hiding place
But far more wonderful it is
To see what smiles can do
You smile at one, she smiles at you
And so one smile makes two
- Auld Lang Syne -

aur abhee bhee nahin hansogi?
(and you still will not laugh?)

waise to sab jaante hain ki wo sirf naatak kar rahee hai.
(everyone knows that she is just play acting)

chalo, ye bhee kar lene do usko.
(fine, let's humor her).

click- gudiya hum se roothi rahogi?

lyrics and translation for above song:-

Guria hum se roothi rahogee? kab tak naa hansogee?
(my little doll, you will stay upset, how long will you not laugh)

dekho ji kiran see lehraayee, aayee re aayee re hansee aayee, guria.
(look, shining like a sun ray, laughter comes)

jhuki jhuki palkon mei aa ke dekho gupchup aankhon se jhaanke tumhaari hansee, gupchup aankhon se jhaanke, fir bhee ankhiyaan band karogi. kab tak na hansogee? dekho ji kiran see lehraayee, aayee re aayee re hansee aayee, guria.
(your laughter comes in the lowered eyelids and peeks out from the corners, but you will still close your eyes, how long will you not laugh? look, shining like a sun ray, laughter comes)

abhee abhee aankhon se chalke, abhee kuch kuch hothon par jhalke, tumhari hansee, kuch kuch hothon par jhalke, fir bhee mukh par haath dharogee. kab tak naa hansogee? dekho ji kiran see lehraayee, aayee re aayee re hansee aayee, guria.
(just now it was splashing out of your eyes, now it is slowly visible on your lips. so you will still hide your mouth with your hands. how long will you not laugh? look, shining like a sun ray, laughter comes)

wo dekho hansi aayee. choti si muskan se shuru ho kar kitni pyaari hansi hai meri gudiya ki

(see the laugh comes. starts with a little smile and then she laughs so sweetly.

log shaayad soch rahe honge ki mai Nessa ki itni khushaamad kyon kar rahee hoon. (people may be wondering why I am trying so hard to please Nessa).

Such to ye hai ki:

Gaa sakun aapkaa nagmaa, wo saaz kahaan se laun,
sunaa sakun kuch aapko, wo andaaz kahaan se laun,
yun to chaand ki taarif karnaa aasaan hai,
kar saku aapki taarif, wo alfaaz kahaan se laun.

(truth is:

to sing your tune, from where do I find those musical instruments,
to sing something for you to listen, from where do I bring that style,
it is easy to praise the moon,
to praise you, from where do I bring the words?)

Magar phir bhee koshish to karnee hee hogi naa.
(however, I still have to try, don't I?)

So Nessa specially for you, here is a song which is very old but the lyrics are what make the song special. If you are able to understand the lyrics, you will understand why I chose this particular song.

click here- juhi ki kali meri ladli

lyrics and translation for above song:

juuhii kii kalii merii laaDalii
my darling is like the bud of the jasmine flower

naazo.n kii palii merii laaDalii
my darling has been nurtured delicately

o aas-kiran tuu jug-jug jiiye
oh ray of hope may you live forever

nanhii sii parii merii laaDalii, o merii laaDalii
my darling is like a little angel, o my darling

dharatii pe utar aayaa cha.Ndaa teraa chaharaa banaa
the moon has come down to become your face (moon symbolizes beauty)

champii kaa salaunaa guladastaa tan teraa banaa,
the beautiful bouquet of flowers have become your body

o merii laaDalii
o my darling

komal titlii merii laaDalii
my darling is a delicate butterfly

hiire kii kanii merii laaDalii,
my darling is like a precious diamond

nanhii sii parii merii laaDalii, o merii laaDalii
my darling is like a little angel, o my darling.

sharmaa_e diivaalii taaro.n kii tere naino.n se
the stars diwali (festival of lights) comes from your eyes

koyal ne churaa_ii hai pa.ncham tere baino.n se,
the singing bird has stolen the musical lilt from your voice

o merii laaDalii
o my darling

Happy Birthday To You Nessa

remixed lyrics and translation for above song:

baar baar din yah aaye, baar baar dil yah gaaye
(let this day come again and again, this heart sings again and again)
tuu jiye hazaaro.n saal, yah merii hai aarzuu
(you should live thousands of years, this is my desire)
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you.

auro.n kii tarah kuchh hum bhii, tohfaa le ke aate
like others we would also have brought gifts
hum terii hasii.n mahfil me.n, phuul leke aate
we would have brought flowers to your beautiful party
phool ne kahaa use kyaa hai, phuulo.n kii zaruurat
flowers said what need does she have for flowers
jo bahaar khud kehlaaye, har kalii kaa dil dha.Dkaaye
she herself is called spring, she raises the heartbeats of each bud,
tuu jiye hazaaro.n saal, yah merii hai aarzuu
(you should live thousands of years, this is my desire)
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you.

ye to phir se udaas ho gayee. ab kyaa huaa? janam din ki shubh kaamnaayen sun kar khush hone ke badle ye udaasi kaisi? oh ab samjhee. gaane mei maine kahaa thaa ki uphaar / tohfaa le kar aate, magar iskaa matlab ye to nahin hai ki uphaar naheen laaye hain. abhee dekhnaa kitne uphaar milenge. (She became sad again. What happened now? After hearing birthday wishes you should be happy not sad. Oh now I understand. The song lyrics said that we would have brought you a gift but that does not mean that we did not bring any gifts. Wait and see the gifts that you will receive.)

hum teri haseen mehfil mei phool le kar aate gaayaa thaa maine aur dekho phool laayee bhee hoon. aur dekho baaki dost bhee laayen hain. (I sang I would have brought flowers to your party and I have brought you flowers. And see your other friends have brought you flowers also.

Also balloons for the birthday girl!

There are gifts too and you can open them at your leisure but first we have a birthday cake that needs to be cut, specially before all the candles melt. We were not sure what type of cake you would like so we got you a few cakes. Take a look, make a big wish and blow out the candles.

Of course birthday cakes are western traditions that we have adapted. In India on birthdays traditionally we went to temples, offered laddoos as prasad with our prayers and then shared the laddoos with our family and friends.

Isliye pahle Nessa ko laddoo milegaa aur phir baaki logon ko bhee. boondi ka laddoo khaaogi nessa yaa motichoor ke laddoo yaa dono?

(this is why first Nessa will get the laddoo and then everyone else will also get laddoos. Nessa, do you want the boondi laddoo or the motichoor laddoo or both?)

Boondi Laddoo

Motichoor Laddoo

badhaai ho badhaai janam din ki

lyrics for above song were changed from original and it's transalation:

badhaai ho badhaai janam din ki tumko
congratulations on your birthday

janam din tumhaara milenge laddoo humko
it is your birthday and we will get laddoos (sweets)

badi ho ke raani tum mehnat se parhnaa
as you grow up work hard at studying

parhaai likhaai mei aage hee rehnaa
always be ahead in reading and writing

achaa ji bataao maine aisaa kyo kahaa
ok tell me now, why I said such a thing

jo tum paas hogi milenge laddoo humko
if you pass your exams, we will get laddoo

badhaai ho badhaai janam din ki tumko
congratulations on your birthday

janam din tumhaara milenge laddoo humko
it is your birthday and we will get laddoos (sweets)

Of course we can't fill ourselves up with just cake and laddoos. We need some salty snacks too. Can I tempt you with a samosa or aaloo tikki or bhelpuri or pani puri or any of the other choices we have here?

pyaar karte karte, ham tum kahii.n kho jaae.nge
while loving each oher, you and I will get lost

inhii bahaaro.n ke, aa.Nchal me.n thak ke so jaae.nge
in the shade of these blossoms we will get tired and sleep

sapno.n ko phir bhii, tum yuu.Nhii sajaate rehnaa
but still you keep decorating your dreams just like this

kabhii alvidaa naa kehnaa
never say goodbye for ever

kabhii alvidaa naa kehnaa
never say goodbye for ever.

biich raah me.n dilvar, bichha.D jaae.n kahii.n ham agar
in the middle of the path sweetheart, if we are separated

aur suunii sii lage tumhe.n, jiivan kii ye Dagar
and you find this path of life to be solitary

ham lauT aae.nge, tum yuu.Nhii bulaate rahanaa
I will return, you just keep calling me back

kabhii alvidaa naa kehnaa
never say goodbye for ever

kabhii alvidaa naa kehnaa
never say goodbye for ever

chalte chalte, mere ye giit yaad rakhnaa
as you leave, remember my songs

kabhii alvidaa naa kehnaa

kabhii alvidaa naa kehnaa
never say goodbye for ever
