Chakh Le Ye Murabba Lyrics Translation (Bombay Talkies)

Movie: Bombay Talkies
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Kavita Seth

Sabr ki meethee chaashnee mein bhigo kay
Waqt khadaa hai martbaan mein le ke
Le, chakh le ye murabbaa
Dil mein, rakh le ye murabbaa

Getting it drenched in the sweet syrup of patience
Time is standing, holding it in a jar..
Take it, taste this jam..
Keep this jam in your heart

[some context: a common Hindi proverb 'sabr ka phal meetha hota hai' means 'the fruit of patience is always sweet'. A murabba is a kind of jam where you soak fruits and sometimes vegetables in sweet syrup so that they are sweet and also don't rot.]
