Jannat Song Lyrics in English
Arj hai ek daastaan, isaki hai na koyi jubaan
Sunate the hum lekin magar, likhanewaale ka na hai pata
Hai kahaani aisi meri, hai aajaadi isamein meri
(Le chalo mujhe jannat wahaan
Woh aawaaj pukaaro mujhe yahaan) – (2)
Kuchh hi labjon mein mera jahaan, saamane ai jaisa huwa
Abb kisi se na kuchh hai chhupa
Siyaahi ke chaadar par hai nishaan
Hai kahaani aisi meri, hai aajaadi isamein meri
(Le chalo mujhe jannat wahaan
Woh aawaaj pukaaro mujhe yahaan) – (2)
Marj hai aisa yahaan, jisaki hai na koyi dawaan
Hota na abb koyi asar, abb toh main aur mera kaarwaan
Hai kahaani aisi meri, hai aajaadi isamein meri
(Le chalo mujhe jannat wahaan
Woh aawaaj pukaaro mujhe yahaan) – (4)
Jannat Hindi Song Lyrics Translation
अरज है एक दौस्तान, इसकी है ना कोय जुबान
Sunate द Hum Lekin Magar, Likhanewaale Ka Na Hai Pata
है कहानी ऐसी मेरी, है आजादी इस्मिन मेरी
(Le Chalo Mujhe Jannat Wahaan
वह आवाज पुकारो मुजह याहान) – (2)
कुच हाय लैबजॉन मीन मेरा जहाआन, सामन ऐ जैसा हुवा
Abb kisi se na kuchh hai shhupa
सियाही के चौधर पर है निशान
है कहानी ऐसी मेरी, है आजादी इस्मिन मेरी
(Le Chalo Mujhe Jannat Wahaan
वह आवाज पुकारो मुजह याहान) – (2)
मार्ज है आस याहान, जिसाकी है ना कोय दवान
Hota Na Abb Koyi Asar, Abb Toh Main Aur Mera Kaarwaan
है कहानी ऐसी मेरी, है आजादी इस्मिन मेरी
(Le Chalo Mujhe Jannat Wahaan
वह आवत पुकारो मुजह याहान) – (4)
About the movie – Ankur Tewari – Jannat (2010)
When Sub-Inspector Joseph Pinto finds that his foster son, Jai Dixit, sired by a deceased, re-formed gangster, has taken to crime, he arranges for his re-location to Melbourne, and has his name changed to Suraj Bhardwaj. Jai does re-locate there, and gets hired as a taxi-driver. He gets attracted to Suhani, much to the of her brother, Samarth, who wants her to marry Gurdaspur-based Romi Latti, who is also in Melbourne on a university scholarship. With mounting racially-motivated attacks and profiling (‘Curry Boy’, ‘Indian Curry’) against Indian students, Samarth actively protests – but Jai refrains from doing so – even after Romi is badly beaten by Caucasian youth. The protest results in violence, and Samarth is arrested. On the day of his discharge, Jai is told by a stripper, Nicole, that plans are afoot to kill Samarth, and he decides to intervene. He does succeed and even accompanies Suhani to the Police Station to identify her brother’s attackers. It is here that the police will find out about Jai’s background, forcing him and Suhani to go on the run; be blamed for planting a bomb in a bar; while unknown person(s) kill several inter-racial couples.
