Words of eternal truth in combination with heavenly voice of Rafi Saa'b give a sublime touch to this song ..it soothes your ears and kisses ur soul

mann re tu kahe na dhir dhare
My heart, why dont you take courage/have patience

oo nirmohi moh na jane, jinka moh kare
The one you desire is devoid of emotion, knows not what attachment/love is.

mann re tu kahe na dhir dhare

is jivan ki chadhti dhalti, dhup ko kisne bandha
The rising and receding sunlight of this life, who could hold/controle?

rang pe kisne pehre dale, rup ko kisne bandha
Who has imprisoned color, who has shackled beauty?

kahe yeh jatan kare
Why bother to make this effort/why attempt to try ?

mann re tu kahe na dhir dhare

utna hi upkar samajh koyi, jitna sath nibha de
Recognise their favor so long as they stay true to you

janam maran ka mel hai sapna, yeh sapna bisra de
Togetherness through life and death, its a dream, forget this dream.

koyi na sang mare
no one accompanies you in death

mann re tu kahe na dhir dhare
o nirmohi moh na jane, jinka moh kare
ho mann re tu kahe na dhir dhare

Oh Dear Heart, Why do you despair?
For whom you yearn so much, does not understand love or know desire!

No One has Control of Joys and Sorrows of Life.
No One has Control of Beauty and Youth in one's Life.

The Time that is spent together is worthy of anything
Being in Life and in Death is just a dream, a dream that is an illusion.
In the end you die alone,

Lyrics
Man re tu káhe ná dhir dhare

मन रे तू काहे ना धीर धरे

Man re tū káhe ná dhīr dhare मन रे तू काहे ना धीर धरे
Wo nirmohī moh ná jáne वो निर्मोही मोह ना जाने
Jinká moh kare जिनका मोह करे
Man re ... मन रे ...

Is jīvan kī čhařtī ďhaltī इस जीवन की चढ़ती ढलती
Dhūp ko kisne bándhá धूप को किसने बांधा
Rang pe kisne pahre ďále रंग पे किसने पहरे डाले
Rūp ko kisne bándhá रुप को किसने बांधा
Káhe ye jatan kare काहे ये जतन करे
Man re ... मन रे ...

Utná hī upkár samajh koī उतना ही उपकार समझ कोई
Jitná sáth nibhá de जितना साथ निभा दे
Janam maran ká mail hai sapná जनम मरण का मेल है सपना
Ye sapná bisrá de ये सपना बिसरा दे
Koī ná sang mare कोई ना संग मरे
Man re ... मन रे ...

What can one say about Mohd. Rafi? A genius born only for music. Such geniuses come with a mission and pass away once their mission is achieved. Rafi Saab did more than 50% of the acting for the actors through his excellent expression (what we call Bhava in classical music). As Shammi Kapoor said in one interview, acting to a Rafi song was a challenge to actors. This song is a heavenly song; we can listen to it again and again..but the actor has done a poor job. I saw this with many Rafi songs.

HIghest Rated comments by Khurram and Asim..Well what can i say about your comments.those were so unique and came straight from your heart...Amazing guys!

And as far as this song and rafi sb. is concerned, Khurram and Asim already had given their great views. but all I can say about Mohammad Rafi: Legend is a small word to say incompare to your personlity and the kind of human being you were..You are more than a legend and more than a music of any era.
My prayers are for you always
