farewell to the voice of Kashmir. Rest in Peace Raj Begum. End of an era. Last of the great songstress from valley.
Parvaan laegith gath Karas tath shamah royas tal maras, chum kal tuhinz moul chum ni haar, az saal antan balyaar. Vesiye Gulan aamay bahaar az saal antan balyaar.
Tath prani maaye Goi tche kyah maeshrovthas kyah chum mea rah ousukh zche myonui ghum gusaar az saal antan balyaar
Chum loal chi gaemich mea yaad, peoy na zche myonui zanh ti yaad, Goi na kanan paighaam yaar, az saal antan balyaar.
Aey yousuf khursheed ro Dar misr tchandath su ba su kaerthas zulaikha khas ta khaar az saal antan balyaar
Trevith cholum thavith firaaq, chum loal jigras ishtiyaaq mea haevith anun vanas bi zaar, az saal antan ballyaar.
Yaktaash Kot goam dhaali dith Zainul Arab chas jaan Nisar, khhooni jigar kormas Nisar Az saal antan balyaar
Shaaman cholum kaerithy sou graaiy paaman mei thavith goam jaaiy daman ratas Rozay shumaar az saal antan balyaar
Yas Zaali badnas ashequn naar su Zaani kyah gov hijr e yaar, Maqbool kornas dil nigaar Az saal antan balyaar.
Vesiye Gulan aamay bahaar az saal antan balyaar.

Vesiye Gulan aamay bahaar
Perhaps the best remembered song by Raj Begum. Lyrics by Maqbool Shah Qraalwari (1820–1876)
Here’s a cleared and voice enhanced version of the recording. [The original audio (probably from tape) was uploaded by Muneeb Haroon]
Video: Clipping from “Spring Comes to Kashmir” (1956)
Lyrics:
Parvaan laegith gath Karas tath shamah royas tal maras, chum kal tuhinz moul chum ni haar, az saal antan balyaar. Vesiye Gulan aamay bahaar az saal antan balyaar.
Tath prani maaye Goi tche kyah maeshrovthas kyah chum mea rah ousukh zche myonui ghum gusaar az saal antan balyaar
Chum loal chi gaemich mea yaad, peoy na zche myonui zanh ti yaad, Goi na kanan paighaam yaar, az saal antan balyaar.
Aey yousuf khursheed ro Dar misr tchandath su ba su kaerthas zulaikha khas ta khaar az saal antan balyaar
Trevith cholum thavith firaaq, chum loal jigras ishtiyaaq mea haevith anun vanas bi zaar, az saal antan ballyaar.
Yaktaash Kot goam dhaali dith Zainul Arab chas jaan Nisar, khhooni jigar kormas Nisar Az saal antan balyaar
Shaaman cholum kaerithy sou graaiy paaman mei thavith goam jaaiy daman ratas Rozay shumaar az saal antan balyaar
Yas Zaali badnas ashequn naar su Zaani kyah gov hijr e yaar, Maqbool kornas dil nigaar Az saal antan balyaar.
Vesiye Gulan aamay bahaar az saal antan balyaar.
