Yeh Kya Jagah Hai Doston Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Umrao Jaan
ye kyaa jagah hain dosato, ye kaun saa dayaar hain
what is this place, friends? which region is this…
had-ye-nigaah tak jahaa, gubaar hee gubaar hai
where, for as far as the eye can see, is dust-storm upon dust-storm?
ye kis makaam par hayaat muz ko leke aa gaee
to what resting place has life brought me,
naa bas khushee pe hain jahaa, naa gam pe ikhtaiyaar hai
where i have neither command over joy, nor power over my sorrow?
tamaam umar kaa hisaab maangatee hain jindagee
life asks me for an account of all my years…
ye meraa dil kahe to kyaa, ye khud se sharmasaar hai
what will this heart of mine say? it is ashamed of itself…
bulaa rahaa hain kaun muz ko, chilamanon ke us taraf
who is calling me from the edge of those reed curtains?
mere liye bhee kyaa koee, udaas bekaraar hai
is there anyone at all for me? sorrow is so hard to bear…
