Hindi Version of "Is Baar Nahin"

Is baar jab woh choti si bachchi mere

paas apni kharonch le kar aayegi

Main use phoo phoo kar nahin behlaoonga

Panpaney doonga uski tees ko

Is baar nahin

Is baar jab main chehron par dard likha dekhoonga

Nahin gaoonga geet peeda bhula dene wale

Dard ko risney doonga' utarney doonga andar gehrey

Is baar nahin

Is baar main na marham lagaoonga

Na hi uthaoonga ruee ke phohey

Aur na hi kahoonga ki tum aankhein band karlo,

gardan udhar kar lo main dawa lagata hoon

Dikhney doonga sabko, hum sabko khuley nangey ghaav

Is baar nahin

Is baar jab uljhaney dekhoonga, chatpatahat dekhoonga

Nahin daudoonga uljhee dor lapetney

Uljhaney doonga jab tak ulajh sake

Is baar nahin

Is baar karm ka hawala de kar nahin uthaoonga auzaar

Nahin karoonga phir se ek nayee shuruaat

Nahin banaoonga misaal ek karmyogi ki

Nahin aaney doonga zindagi ko aasani se patri par

Utarney doonga usey keechad main,

tedhey medhey raston pe

Nahin sookhney doonga deewaron par laga khoon

Halka nahin padneydoonga uska rang

Is baar nahin banney doonga usey itna laachaar

ki paan ki peek aur khoon ka fark hi khatm ho jaye

Is baar nahin

Is baar ghawon ko dekhna hai

Gaur se thoda lambe wakt tak

Kuch faisley

Aur uskey baad hausley

kahin toh shuruat karni hee hogi

Is baar yahi tay kiya hai...

English Version

This time when that little girl comes to me with her bruises,

I will not blow gently at her wound, nor distract her,

I will let her pain grow.

Not this time.

This time when I see pain on faces

I will not sing the song that eases pain

I will let the pain seep in, deep.

Not this time.

This time I won’t apply any balm

Nor will I ask you to shut your eyes

and turn your head

While I gingerly apply medicine

I will let everyone see the open, naked wounds

Not this time.

This time when I see difficulty, uneasiness

I will not run to solve the problems

I will let them become complicated

Not this time.

This time I won’t pick up my tools as a matter of duty

I will not make a new beginning

Nor will I stand as an example of one dedicated to my job

I will not let life easily return to normalcy

I will let it descend into muck, on the twisting paths

I will not let the blood on the walls dry out

Nor will I let its colour fade away

This time I won’t let it become so helpless

That you can’t tell blood from paan-spit

Not this time.

This time the wounds need to be watched

Carefully

For a long time

Some decisions are needed

And then some brave moves to be made

We have to begin somewhere

This time this is what I have resolved.
