Translation |
| Sandese aate hai | Messages arrive |
| Humein tadpate hai | They torment us |
| Woh chitti aati hai | Letters 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 |

| Kabhi ek mamta ki | Sometimes the motherly love |
| Pyar ki Ganga ki | The lovely river Ganga |
| Woh chitti aati hai | Write me a letter |
| 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 |

| 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 |
