आया तेरे दर पर
Touch on each word to display its meaning
जो बंदिशें
थीं ज़माने की तोड़ आया हूँ ।
मैं तेरे वास्ते
दुनिया को छोड़ आया हूँ
(Those) I have broken
which were mundane bondages
For you,
I have abandoned the world
आया तेरे दर पर दीवाना [ x2 ]
Your lover came to your door [x2]
आया हूँ आया ,
आया तेरा दीवाना
आया तेरे दर पर दीवाना [ x2 ]
तेरा दीवाना [ x3 ]
आया तेरे दर पर दीवाना [ x2 ]
He came, yeah, he came
your lover came
Your lover came to your door [x2]
Your lover [x3]
Your lover came to your door [x2]
तेरा दीवाना / तेरा
तेरा दीवाना / दीवाना
तेरा दीवाना [ x3 ]
आया तेरे दर पर दीवाना [ x2 ]
Your lover / your
Your lover / lover
Your lover [x3]
Your lover came to your door [x2]
यह है तेरा ही सौदाई ,
यह है तेरा ही शैदाई
[ all stanza x2 ]
तेरे इश्क़ में है
इसे मर जाना !
आया तेरे दर पर दीवाना [ x2 ]
This is your very insane,
this is your very enamored,
[both verses x2]
in your love
he has to die!
Your lover came to your door [x2]
तेरा जलवा जो पाऊँ ,
मैं हर ग़म भूल जाऊँ
[ both verses x2 ]
ये आँसू जो हैं बहते ,
बस इतना हैं ये कहते :
कहाँ तू और कहाँ मैं ,
पराया हूँ यहाँ मैं
If I acquired your radiance,
I would forget every grief
[both verses x2]
These tears that are flowing,
say, in short, this much:
where are you and where am I?
I am alien here
करम इतना अगर हो ,
कि मुझ पर एक नज़र हो
Such a favor it would be,
if one gaze were upon me
करम इतना अगर हो ,
कि मुझ पर एक नज़र हो
जान-ओ-दिल वार दूँ मैं ,
ज़िन्दगी हार दूँ मैं
जैसे शमा पे मरता है परवाना
आया तेरे दर पर दीवाना [ x2 ]
Such a favor it would be,
if one gaze were upon me
I shall offer (you) soul and heart
I shall surrender my life
like a moth dies at the flame
Your lover came to your door [x2]
आया तेरे दर पर
तेरा ही दीवाना
[ both verses x2 ]
दीवाना तेरा …
[ repeats several times ]
[ with melisma ]
He came to your doorstep,
indeed, your lover
[both verses x 2]
The lover of yours …
[repeats several times]
[with melisma]
आया किस
मोड़ पे अफ़साना [ x4 ]
[ several fading repetitions ]
[ with melisma and instruments ]
[ in crescendo and accelerando ]
To what
(this) story has turned! [x4]
[several fading repetitions]
[with melisma and instruments]
[in crescendo and accelerando]
यह सितम का रिवाज क्यूँ है ?
जैसा है यह समाज । क्यूँ है ?
Why is there a custom of tyranny?
Such is this society. Why is it?
ये दुनिया की हैं रस्में ,
मैं हूँ अब इन के बस में ।
ये जो दुनिया की हैं रस्में ,
मैं हूँ अब इन के ही बस में
These are the world's designs,
I am now under their control.
These are the world's designs,
under whose very control, I am.
न पूछो
क्या गिला है ,
मुझे ग़म क्यूँ मिला है ।
तुम्हें मैं क्या बताऊँ ,
मोहब्बत जुर्म है क्यूँ
Don't ask
what this complain is (about),
why grief has met me.
How shall I tell you this,
why affection is a crime
कोई रोता है क्यूँ ,
ऐसा होता है क्यूँ ,
क्यूँ दिल से हर एक
है अनजाना
Why does anyone cry,
why does it happen like that,
why is everyone ignorant
of the heart
आया किस
मोड़ पे अफ़साना
[ both verses x2 ]
To what
(this) story has turned! [x4]
[both verses x2]
यह किस माहौल ,
में हम हैं ?
ख़ुशी के भेस में
ग़म है ।
किसे अपना कहें ,
किसे बेगाना ?
(What) atmosphere is (this),
in which we are?
Sadness is in disguise
of happiness.
Whom shall we call ours,
whom a stranger?
आया किस
मोड़ पे अफ़साना
[ both verses x2 ]
To what
(this) story has turned! [x4]
[both verses x2]
आया किस
मोड़ पे मेरा अफ़साना [ x2 ]
अफ़साना मेरा
[ repeated several times ]
आया किस
मोड़ पे अफ़साना ,
अफ़साना , अफ़साना
[ repeated several times ]
To what
my story has turned! [x2]
My story
[repeated several times]
To what
(this) story, story, story
has turned!
[repeated several times]
About this song

- Veer-Zaara (2004)
aayaa tere dar par (Hindi: आया तेरे दर पर, Urdu: آیا تیرے در پر) "He Came to Your Doorstep", is the climactic song of the 2004 Bollywood movie drama Veer-Zaara.
In this movie, Veer, an Indian Air Force officer, (played by Shah Ruh Khan) and a Pakistani girl, Zaara (Preity Zinta) fall in love; but they can't pursue their relationship because of social and political impediments.
The song is played when Veer decides to defy conventionalisms and appear at her engagement party, to the astonishment of her fiancé and family members.
Ironically, this happens as a group of singers hired for the ceremony sing "Your Lover Has Come to Your Doorstep", meaning literally Veer, an actual lover, rather than the fiancé.
The music was created by the legendary composer Madan Mohan and used posthumously. The lyrics were written by the poet and screenwriter Javed Akhtar.
The singers in the movie are an actual band , the "Hussain Brothers", led by Ahmed and Mohammed Hussain.
