Jahan Piya Wahan Main Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Pardes
are ganga tu kaahe jaaye pardes
O, Ganga, you’re going abroad?
kaahe jaaye pardes
You’re going abroad?
chhorke apna des…
Leaving your country?…
ganga chali kahaan qasam torke hamein chhorke…
Ganga, where are you going, breaking your promise, abandoning us?
piya mere piya
My love, my love
jahaan piya vahaan main
Where my love is, there I must be.
des chhudaaya pardes bulaaya…
He made me forsake my country; he called me abroad.
sandes yeh aaya mere naam
This letter came with my name on it.
jahaan piya vahaan main
Where my love is, there must I be.
mere piya vahaan main
I must be where he is;
main kya karuun mere raam
what can I do, my God?
jahaan piya vahaan main
Where my love is, there I must be.
mere piya vahaan main
My love is there, so must I be.
aisa lagta hai ki dil ke andar kuchh tuut rahaa hai
It seems as though something is breaking inside me.
baabul ke aangan mein mera bachpan chhuut rahaa hai
In my father’s courtyard, I am letting go of my childhood.
main khush bhi huun udaas bhi
I’m happy as well as sad,
nadiyaan mein jaise pyaas bhi
like being thirsty amidst rivers.
main kya karuun mere raam
What will I do, my God?
jahaan piya vahaan main
Where my love is, there I must be.
mera piya vahaan main
My love is there, so must I be.
chaandi ki katori sone ka pitaara…
A cup of silver, a box of gold…
laa de maiya meri mujhko saasu ne pukaara
Bring them, mother; my mother-in-law has called me!
laali kaajal “powder” bindiya…
Blush, kohl, powder, bindi…
laa de meri maiya mujhko saiyya ne pukaara
Bring them, mother; my beloved has called me!
andekha anjaana sa ek sapna dekh rahi huun
I am looking at an unseen, unfamiliar dream.
apne man ke darpan mukh apna dekh rahi huun
I am looking at my own face in the mirror of my heart.
yeh main huun yaa koi aur hai
Is this me, or someone else?
sanjog pe kiska zor hai
Who has control over unions of the heart?
main kya karuun mere raam
My God, what shall I do?
ganga chali kahaan qasam torke hamein chhorke
Ganga, where are you going, breaking your promise, abandoning us?
wahaan main…
I go there…
jahaan piya vahaan main
I go wherever my beloved is.
wahaan main wahaan main
I go there, I go there.
