Kehne Lagaa Lyrics English Translation – Rushil Aswal

Ek Ladka Tha Ajeeb Thi Baaton Ki Kami
There was a boy who was unusual, lacking in conversation.

Dimaag Mein Uske Itni Sari Baatein Chalti
So many thoughts were running through his mind.

Kehna Sakaa wo Keh Na Saka
He could not express what he truly meant.

Har Baat Pe Rota Tha
He used to cry over every little thing.

Uske Liye Har Pal Ek Dhoka Tha
Every moment felt like a betrayal to him.

Phir Usne Khaai Itni Sari Thokre Ki
Then he faced so many falls and setbacks.

Kehne Lagaa Wo Kehne Laga
And he began to speak out.

Lekin Ab Wo Rota Nahi Rone Se Kya Hi Hojayega
But now, what will happen if he doesn’t cry?

Gir Kar Ab Sambhalta Nahi Darta Hai Wapas Girjayega
Even if he falls, he no longer picks himself up, fearing he’ll fall again.

Logon Ki Ab Wo Sunta Nahi Sunne Se Kya Koi Laut Aayega
He no longer listens to people—what will be regained just by hearing?

Auron Ke Dil Kitne Bhi Ho Saaf Usse Behtar Use Kon Jaan Paaega
No matter how pure others’ hearts may be, who can truly understand him better than himself?

Asaan Nahi Tha Ye Jitna Ho Sake Chhipaya Tha Usne
It wasn’t easy; he had hidden as much as he possibly could.

Aur Jab Jab Uska Dil Hai Tezi Se Dhadakta Use Satata
And whenever his heart pounded rapidly, it tormented him.

Wo Likhta Jaata
He kept writing.

Kisi Dur Desh Se Aaya To Na Wo
He wasn’t someone who came from a distant land.

Jo Usool Bolke Galti Chhupa Do
One who covers up mistakes by preaching principles.

Sapna Bech Ke Door Bhej Ke Usko Kyun Phasaya
Why trap him by selling a dream and sending him far away?

Usse Na Bula Ab Vo Chala Hai Gayaa
He is no longer called upon; he has gone away.

Lekin Ab Wo Rota Nahi Rone Se Kya Hi Hojayega
But now, what will happen if he doesn’t cry?

Gir Kar Ab Sambhalta Nahi Darta Hai Wapas Girjayega
Even if he falls, he no longer steadies himself, fearing another fall.

Logon Ki Ab Wo Sunta Nahi Sunne Se Kya Koi Laut Aayega
He no longer listens to people—will anything ever be restored merely by hearing?

Auron Ke Dil Kitne Bhi Ho Saaf Usse Behtar Use Kon Jaan Paaega
No matter how pure others’ hearts are, who can know him better than he knows himself?

Lekin Ab Main Rota Nahi Rone Se Kya Hi Hojayega
But now, what will happen if I don’t cry?

Gir Kar Ab Sambhalta Nahi Darta Hoon Wapas Girjaaoonga
Even if I fall, I won’t steady myself; I fear that I will fall again.

Logon Ki Ab Mein Sunta Nahi Sunne Se Kya Koi Laut Aayega
I no longer listen to people—will anything be recovered just by listening?

Auron Ke Dil Kitne Bhi Ho Saaf Mujhse Behtar Mujhe Kon Jaan Paaega
No matter how pure others’ hearts are, who can understand me better than I understand myself?

Kya Mujhe Koi Pehchaan Paaega Mujhse Behtar Mujhe Kon Jaan Paaega
Will anyone ever truly recognize me, who can know me better than I know myself?

Kya Mujhe Koi Pehchaan Paaega Mujhse Behtar Mujhe Kon Jaan Paaega
Will anyone ever truly recognize me, who can know me better than I know myself?

Kya Mujhe Koi Pehchaan Paaega Mujhse Behtar Mujhe Kon Jaan Paaega
Will anyone ever truly recognize me, who can know me better than I know myself?
