Ghar Kab Aaoge Lyrics English Translation – Border 2 | Sonu Nigam

Sandese aate hain, humein tadpaate hain
Messages arrive and leave me restless with longing.

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
Write and tell us when you will come.

Ke tum bin yeh ghar soona soona hai
Because without you, this home feels empty.

Yeh dil jo barson se tha khaali khaali sa
This heart that had felt hollow for so many years.

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

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

Savera hota hai kisi ki karvat se
Morning breaks with someone turning in their sleep.

Main socha karta hoon yahi tanhaai mein
Alone, I often find myself thinking.

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

Naseebon wali ne, kaan ki baali ne
The fortunate bride, her earrings gleaming.

Chauth ki thaali ne, aur poochha hai mehndi ki laali ne
The ritual plate and the red henna have all asked.

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

Likho kab aaoge
Write and tell us when you will come.

Ke tum bin yeh ghar soona soona hai
Because without you, this home feels empty.

Sandese aate hain, humein tadpaate hain
Messages arrive and leave me restless with longing.

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
Write and tell us when you will come.

Ke tum bin yeh ghar soona soona hai
Because without you, this home feels empty.

Yeh poochho aankhon ke jhalkte paani se
Ask these tears welling up in my eyes.

Bichhadta hain koi kahan aasaani se
Does anyone separate so easily?

Main peechhe chhod aaya duaayein karti maa
I left behind a mother who prays for me.

Ke usse bhi pyaari mujhe yeh dharti maa
Yet dearer still is this motherland of mine.

Kisi ne dheere se kaha tha laut aana
Someone softly told me to return.

Main raasta dekhungi, mujhe na tadpaana
I’ll wait for you—don’t leave me in pain.

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

Adhoore vaadon ne
Half-fulfilled promises

Aur poochha hai uski yaadon ne
And even their memories have asked me

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

Likho kab aaoge
Write and tell us when you will come

Ke tum bin yeh ghar soona soona hai
Because without you, this home feels empty

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

Kalai resham si abhi hai haathon mein
Her wrists still feel like silk in my hands

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

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

Jo gudiyon se khele woh gudiya yaad aaye
The doll who once played with dolls comes to mind

Ke baaton baaton mein usi ki baat aaye
In every conversation, it is she who is mentioned

Mere dildaaron ne, gali baazaron ne
My loved ones, the streets, the marketplaces

Ki chitthi taaron ne
Even letters carried by the stars

Aur poochha hai mere yaaron ne
And my friends too have asked

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

Likho kab aaoge
Write and tell us when you will come

Ke tum bin yeh dil soona soona hai
Because without you, this heart feels empty

Aye guzarne wali hawa bata
O passing breeze, tell me.

Mera itna kaam karegi kya
Will you do this much for me?

Mujhe chhod ke jo chala gaya
The one who left me behind.

Use dhoondh laa
Go and bring them back.

Koi rehguzar ya koi gali
No pathway, no street

Mujhe aaj tak toh nahi mili
Have I found, not even till today

Jo mita sake yeh faasla
That could erase this distance

Jo mita sake yeh faasla
That could erase this distance

Meri saari jawaani le gaya
He took away all my youth

Aur aankh mein paani de gaya
And left tears in my eyes

Jise dohraunga umra bhar
The one I’ll repeat all my life

Woh aisi kahaani de gaya
He gave such a story

Aye guzarne wali hawa tujhe
O passing breeze, to you

Hai kasam na aise rula mujhe
I swear, don’t make me cry like this

Main kahan se laun woh dil bata
Tell me, where will I find that heart

Jise ho qubool yeh alvida
Which would accept this goodbye

Main wapas aaunga main wapas aaunga
I will come back, I will come back

Phir apne gaaon mein pyar ki chhaon mein
Again, in my village, in the shade of love

Tarasti aankhon se kisi ki baahon se
From longing eyes, from someone’s arms

Ke ghar ke raahon se
And from the paths home

Kiya jo vaada tha woh nibhaunga
The promise that was made, I’ll keep it

Main wapas aaunga main wapas aaunga
I will come back, I will come back
