Kaun Dagar Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Lajja
–FEMALE–
Na koi dharti hai teri, na koi gagan
You don’t have any earth, nor any sky
Shaakh se patte ko jaise le chale pawan
Like a leaf from a branch the wind takes (you) along
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher
Which road, which town
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
Dhoond rahe nain take apna aashiyaan
Your searching eyes look for their home
Tanha tanha lamha lamha
Lonely, lonely, moment after moment
Tanha tanha lamha lamha, chhoota peechhe caaravaan
Lonely moment after moment, the caravan broke off behind
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
Dhoond rahe nain take apna aashiyaan
Your searching eyes look for their home
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
Tu chali kahan
Where are you going?
(Tu nadi si beh rahi, saagar kahin nahin
You are flowing like a river, there is no ocean
Mod to gayi, mile manzil kahin nahin) – 2
You took the turn, you didn’t reach any destination
Aage toofaan, bujhte armaan
In front of you is a hurricane, extinguishing desires
Aage toofaan, bujhte armaan, nazron mein hai dhuaan
In front of you is a hurricane, extinguishing desires, in your vision is smoke
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
Dhoond rahe nain take apna aashiyaan
Your searching eyes look for their home
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
Tu chali kahan
Where are you going?
(Apni dhun mein ud rahi thi chanchal si hawa
You were flying to your own song in this wayward wind
Dard koi de gaya, pankh le gaya) – 2
Someone gave you pain, took away your wings
Mausam rootha, nagma toota
The season turned on you, the melody broke
Mausam rootha, nagma toota, chhaayi khaamoshiyaan
The season turned on you, the melody broke, silence spread over
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
Dhoond rahe nain take apna aashiyaan
Your searching eyes look for their home
Tanha tanha lamha lamha
Lonely, lonely, moment after moment
Tanha tanha lamha lamha, chhoota peechhe caaravaan
Lonely moment after moment, the caravan broke off behind
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
Dhoond rahe nain take apna aashiyaan
Your searching eyes look for their home
Kaun dagar, kaun shaher, tu chali kahan
Which road, which town, where are you going?
