bahtii havaa saa thaa vah
Touch on each word to display its meaning
bɛhtii havaa saa thaa vo
He was like a cool breeze
bɛhtii havaa saa thaa vo
uRtii pataNg saa thaa vo
kahaaN gayaa , use DhuuNRDho !
He was like a cool breeze
He was like a flying kite
Wherever he went, search for him!
bɛhtii havaa saa thaa vo
uRtii pataNg saa thaa vo
kahaaN gayaa , use DhuuNRDho !
He was like a cool breeze
He was like a kite
Wherever he went, search for him!
ham ko to raaheN thiiN chalaatii
vo xud apnii raah banaataa
girtaa , sambhaltaa ,
mastii meN chaltaa thaa vo
While we used to follow conventionalisms
he used to build his own way
He used to tumble, then set himself right,
then keep walking in ecstasy
ham ko kal kii fikr sataatii
vo bas aaj kaa jashn
manaataa
har lamHe ko khulke jiitaa thaa vo
The anxiety of tomorrow used to trouble us,
he solely used to observe
the celebration of today
He used to go freely at every moment
kahaaN se aayaa thaa vo
chhuu ke hamaare dil ko
kahaaN gayaa , use DhuuNRDho !
From wherever he had come
having touched our heart,
wherever he went, search for him!
sulgtii dhuup meN chhaaoN ke jaisaa
registaan meN gaaNv ke jaisaa
man ke ghaav pe marham jaisaa thaa vo
He was like a shade in the burning sun,
and like a village in the middle of the desert
He was like balm on a wound of the heart
ham sahme se rɛhte kueN meN
vo nadiyaa meN gote lagaataa
ulTii dhaaraa chiir ke
tairtaa thaa vo
We used to remain, like frightened, in a well,
He used to dive headfirst in brooks
He used to swim
having cleft against the current
baadal aavaaraa thaa vo
yaar hamaaraa thaa vo
kahaaN gayaa , use DhuuNRDho !
He was a wandering cloud
He was our companion
Wherever he went, search for him!
ham ko to raaheN thiiN chalaatii
vo xud apnii raah bantaa
girtaa , sambhaltaa ,
mastii meN chaltaa thaa vo
While we used to follow conventionalisms
He used to build his own way
He used to tumble, then set himself right,
then keep walking in ecstasy
ham ko kal kii fikr sataatii
vo bas aaj kaa jashn
manaataa
har lamHe ko khulke jiitaa thaa vo
The anxiety of tomorrow used to trouble us,
he solely used to observe
the celebration of today
He used to go freely at every moment
kahaaN se aayaa thaa vo
chhuu ke hamaare dil ko
kahaaN gayaa , use DhuuNRDho !
From wherever he had come
having touched our heart,
wherever he went, search for him!
