Ghar Kab Aaoge Lyrics English Translation – Border 2 | Arijit Singh

Sandese aate hain, humein tadpaate hain
Messages arrive and make us ache.

Jo chitthi aati hai, woh poochhe jaati hai
Every letter that comes asks the same question.

Ke ghar kab aaoge, ke ghar kab aaoge
When will you come home, when will you return?

Likho kab aaoge, ke tum bin yeh ghar soona soona hai
Write and tell us when you’ll come back—without you, this home is empty.

Likho kab aaoge, ke tum bin yeh dil soona soona hai
Write and tell us when you’ll return—without you, this heart is empty.

Yeh dil jo barson se tha khaali khaali sa
This heart that felt hollow for years,

Kisi ke aane se saja Diwali sa
Feels festive now, like Diwali, with someone’s arrival.

Jaage hain darwaaze kisi ki aahat se
Doors awaken at the sound of someone’s footsteps.

Savera hota hai kisi ki karwat se
Morning begins with someone turning in sleep.

Main sochta karta hoon yahi tanhaai mein
Alone, I keep thinking the same thought,

Ke chanda utrega meri angnaai mein
That the moon will descend into my courtyard.

Naseebon wali ne, kaan ki baali ne
The fortunate one, her earrings,

Chauth ki thaali ne aur poochha hai mehndi ki laali ne
The Karva Chauth plate and the red glow of henna ask the same question.

Yeh poochho aankhon ke jhalkte paani se
Ask the tears shimmering in the eyes,

Bichhadte hain koi kahan aasani se
Does anyone separate so easily?

Main pichhe chhod aaya duaen karti maa
I left behind a mother praying for me,

Ke us’se bhi pyari mujhe yeh dharti maa
This homeland, dearer to me than even her.

Kisi ne dheere se kaha tha laut aana
Someone softly said, “Come back,”

Main raasta dekhungi, mujhe na tadpana
“I’ll keep watching the road—don’t make me suffer.”

Jaagti raaton ne, ankahi baaton ne
Sleepless nights and unspoken words

Adhoore vaadon ne aur poochha hai uski yaadon ne
Incomplete promises and her memories ask the same question.

Badi yaad aati hai kisi ki raaton mein
Someone is deeply missed in the nights.

Shayari jaisi woh labon pe rehti hai
She rests on my lips like poetry.

Mohabbat jaisi woh ragon mein behti hai
She flows through my veins like love.

Aye guzarne wali hawa, bata
O passing wind, tell me,

Mujhe chhod ke jo chala gaya, usey dhoondh laa
Find the one who left me behind.

Main wapas aaunga
I will return.

Phir apne gaon mein, pyar ki chhaon mein
Back to my village, under love’s shade.

Kiya jo vaada tha, woh nibhaunga
I will keep the promise I made.
