Jhelum Lyrics English Translation – Faheem Abdullah

Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya
Jhelum cried, Jhelum wept, Jhelum mourned,

Kashmir Ke Liye Jhelum Roya
For Kashmir, the Jhelum River shed tears.

Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya
Jhelum cried, Jhelum wept, Jhelum mourned,

Kashmir Ko Mere Ye Kya Hoya
What has happened to my Kashmir?

Mare Hai Sabhi To Mare Hai Sabhi To
All have died, yes all are gone,

Jo Zinda Hoya Vo Mar Ke Roya
Those still alive cry as if dead inside.

Kashmir Ko Mera Ye Kya Hoya
What has happened to my Kashmir?

Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya
Jhelum cried, Jhelum wept, Jhelum mourned,

Kashmir Ke Liye Jhelum Roya
For Kashmir, the Jhelum River shed tears.

Moaj Wadaan Azz Wathraav Has Na Osh
The joyful meetings are no longer seen,

Wathraavhass Na Yi Osh
Nor are those reunions the same anymore.

Bhool Gaye Ham Vo Sare Gham
We forgot all those sorrows,

Jin Ghamun Ne Hame Baha Diya Tha
The sorrows that once drowned us in pain.

Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya Jhelum Roya
Jhelum cried, Jhelum wept, Jhelum mourned,

Kashmir Ko Meray Ye Kya Hoya
What has happened to my Kashmir?

Osh Haaraan Kyazi Chuham Jaanano?
Do you know how I’ve lost all hope?

Hoorum Me Chey Dim Me Wadne Jaanano
Do you know how I placed my faith in dreams?

Wadaan Nai Chus Be Paanas Myean Mouji
Now even those promises are like tears for me,

Wadaan Chus Ami Wain Kas Rozakh Nazree Kocheas Myean Mouji
The promises now appear like drops in my mother’s eyes.

Wadaan Chus Ami Wain Kas Rozakh Nazree Kocheas Myean Mouji
The promises now appear like drops in my mother’s eyes.
