English Translation
|
| Sandese aate hai |
Messages arrive |
| Humein tadpate hai |
They torment us |
| Joh chitti aati hai |
The letters that arrive |
| Woh pooche jaati hai |
They keep on asking us |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin yeh ghar suna suna hai |
This house is lonely without you |
|
|
| Sandese aate hai |
Messages arrive |
| Humein tadpate hai |
They torment us |
| Joh chitti aati hai |
The letters that arrive |
| Woh pooche jaati hai |
They keep on asking us |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin yeh ghar suna suna hai |
This house is lonely without you |
|
|
| Kisi dilwali ne |
A passionate lover |
| Kisi matwali ne |
A seductive lady |
| Humein khat likha hai |
Has written a letter to me |
| Yeh humse poocha hai |
And she's asking me |
| Kisi ki saanson ne |
The breaths of someone |
| Kisi ki dhadkan ne |
The heartbeats of someone |
| Kisi ki choodi ne |
The bangles of someone |
| Kisi ke kangan ne |
The bracelets of someone |
| Kisi ke kajre ne |
The black hair of someone |
| Kisi ke gajre ne |
The hair flowers of someone |
| Mehakti subah ne |
The fragranced morning |
| Machalti shaamon ne |
The intoxicated evenings |
| Akeli raaton ne |
The lonely nights |
| Adhoori baaton ne |
The incomplete conversations |
| Tarasti baahon ne |
The yearning arms |
| Aur poocha hai tarsi nigahon ne |
And the longing eyes have asked me |
|
|
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin yeh dil suna suna hai |
This heart is lonely without you |
|
|
| Sandese aate hai |
Messages arrive |
| Humein tadpate hai |
They torment us |
| Joh chitti aati hai |
The letters that arrive |
| Woh pooche jaati hai |
They keep on asking us |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin yeh ghar suna suna hai |
This house is lonely without you |
|
|
| Mohabbat walon ne |
The people in love |
| Humare yaaron ne |
And my friends |
| Humein yeh likha hai |
Have written to me |
| Ke humse poocha hai |
And have asked me |
| Humare gaaon ne |
In our village |
| Aam ki chaaon ne |
The shade of the mango tree |
| Purane peepal ne |
The old peepal tree |
| Baraste baadal ne |
The thundering clouds |
| Khet khaliyano ne |
The fields of wheat |
| Hare maidano ne |
The green grounds |
| Basanti belon ne |
The ocher climbers |
| Jhoomti pelon ne |
The twisting vines |
| Lachakte jhoolon ne |
The hanging swings |
| Behakte phoolon ne |
The swaying flowers |
| Chatakti kaliyon ne |
The bursting blossoms |
| Aur poocha hai gaaon ki galiyon ne |
And the streets of the village have asked me |
|
|
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin gaaon suna suna hai |
This village is lonely without you |
|
|
| Sandese aate hai |
Messages arrive |
| Humein tadpate hai |
They torment us |
| Joh chitti aati hai |
The letters that arrive |
| Woh pooche jaati hai |
They keep on asking us |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin yeh ghar suna suna hai |
This house is lonely without you |
|
|
| Kabhi ek mamta ki |
Sometimes the motherly love |
| Pyar ki Ganga ki |
The lovely river Ganga |
| Joh chitti aati hai |
The letters that arrive |
| Saath woh laati hai |
And along with that they bring |
| Mere din bachpan ke |
The days of my childhood |
| Khel woh aangan ke |
The games of my courtyard |
| Woh saaya aanchal ka |
The shade of a veil |
| Woh teeka kajal ka |
The auspicious dot of kohl |
| Woh lori raaton mein |
The lullabies of the night |
| Woh narmi haathon mein |
The soft and gentle hands |
| Woh chahat aankhon mein |
The love in the eyes |
| Woh chinta baaton mein |
The worry in her voice |
| Bigadna upar se |
Upset from outside |
| Mohabbat andar se |
But love from inside |
| Kare woh devi maa |
Such is my goddess like mother |
| Yahin har khat mein pooche meri maa |
My mother is asking me in every letter |
|
|
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin aangan suna suna hai |
This courtyard is lonely without you |
|
|
| Sandese aate hai |
Messages arrive |
| Humein tadpate hai |
They torment us |
| Joh chitti aati hai |
The letters that arrive |
| Woh pooche jaati hai |
They keep on asking us |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Ke ghar kab aaoge |
When will you come home |
| Likho kab aaoge |
Write, when will you come |
| Ke tum bin yeh ghar suna suna hai |
This house is lonely without you |
|
|
| Aye guzarne wali hawa bata |
O passing wind, please tell me |
| Mera itna kaam karegi kya |
Will you do me a favour |
| Mere gaaon ja |
Go to my village |
| Mere doston ko salaam de |
Give my greetings to my friends |
| Meri gaaon mein hai joh woh gali |
The street that is there in my village |
| Jahan rehti hai meri dilruba |
Where my beloved lives |
| Usse mere pyar ka jaam de |
Give her word of my love |
| Usse mere pyar ka jaam de |
Give her word of my love |
| Wahin thodi door hai ghar mera |
At a little distance from there is my home |
| Mera ghar mein hai meri boodhi maa |
In my home is my aged mother |
| Mere maa ke pairon ko chhuke tu |
Touching my mother's feet |
| Usse uske beta ka naam de |
You call out the name of her son |
|
|
| Aye guzarne wali hawa zara |
O passing wind |
| Mere doston, meri dilruba |
To my friends, to my beloved |
| Meri maa ko mera paiyam de |
To my mother, give this message |
| Unhe jaake tu yeh paiyam de |
Go to them and give this message |
|
|
| Main vapas aaonga |
I'll come back |
| Main vapas aaonga |
I'll come back |
| Phir apne gaaon mein |
Once again to my village |
| Us hi chhaon mein |
Under the same shade |
| Ke maa ke aanchal se |
To my mother's veil |
| Gaaon ke peepal se |
To the peepal tree of the village |
| Kisi ke kajal se |
To the kohl of someone |
| Kiya joh vaada tha woh nibhaonga |
The promise that I had made, I'll fulfill that |
|
|
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
| Main ek din aaonga |
I'll come back one day |
|
