Dubara dil lagauna pai gaya ta ki karaange - Jagjit Singh Ghazal Translation

Jagjit Singh Ghazal
Chaman Lal Chaman Ghazal


Dubara dil lagauna pai gaya ta ki karaange
nava koi gham uthauna pai gaya ta ki karaange

Bade dukh ne zamane de bade gham ne mukaddar 
nava hun pyaar pauna pai gaya ta ki karaange

Je koi ron nu aakhe ohna nu yaad kar laange
magar je muskurauna pai gaya ta ki karaange

Kadi jhukeya nahin par dekh ke jhukiya nigaahaan nu
je saanu sir jhukauna pai gaya ta ki karaange

Zamin utte je jannat hai chaman o kenya vich hai
e jannat chhad ke jauna pai gaya ta ki karaange



If I have to let my heart fall again, what will I do?
If I must carry a new sorrow again, what will I do?

The world holds great griefs; destiny carries heavy wounds.
If I must now find a new love, what will I do?

If someone asks me to weep, I will remember them and cry.
But if I am forced to smile instead, what will I do?

I have never bowed before, but seeing lowered eyes,
if I too must bow my head, what will I do?

If heaven exists on earth, it is in this garden of Kenya.
If I must leave this paradise behind, what will I do?
