More from ‘Veer-Zaara’:
Tere Liye Hum Hai Jiye
Do Pal Ruka Khwabon Ka Karwan
Main Yahaan Hoon
Aisa Des Hai Mera
Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hain Kahaan English Lyrics
Lehrati hui raahein
These winding paths
Khole hue hai baahein
Have their arms wide open
Yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Where have we come to?
Palkon pe gehre halke
There are soft, shadowy shades on our eyelids
Hai reshmi dhundhal ke
Like a soft, silky mist
Yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Where have we come to?
Haan yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Yes, where have we come to?
Woh dekho zara
Look over there
Parbaton pe ghatayein
The clouds over the mountains
Hamari daastan haule se sunaye
Are softly telling our story
Suno toh zara
Just listen
Yeh phoolon ki vaadi
This valley of flowers
Hamari hi koi kahani hai sunati
Is telling a story of our own
Sapnon ke is nagar mein
In this city of dreams
Yaadon ki rehguzar mein
Along the pathways of memories
Yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Where have we come to?
Haan yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Yes, where have we come to?
Joh raahon mein hai
Whatever lies along these paths
Rut ne sona bikhera
The season has scattered gold everywhere
Sunehra hua tera mera savera
Our morning has turned golden
Zameen so gayi
The earth has fallen asleep
Barf ki chadaron mein
Under blankets of snow
Bas ek aag si jalti hai do dilon mein
Yet a fire keeps burning in our two hearts
Hawayein sansanayein
The winds are whistling
Badan kaanp jaaye
Making our bodies shiver
Yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Where have we come to?
Haan yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Yes, where have we come to?
Yeh barsaat bhi
Even this rain
Kab thame kaun jaane
Who knows when it will stop?
Tumhe mil gaye pyar ke sau bahane
You’ve found a hundred excuses to love
Sitaaron ki hai
It feels as though the stars
Jaise baaraat aayi
Have arrived like a wedding procession
Hamare liye raat yun jagmagayi
And the night has lit up so brightly for us
Sapne bhi jhilmilayein
Even our dreams are sparkling
Dil mein diye jalayein
Lamps of love are glowing in our hearts
Yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Where have we come to?
Haan yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Yes, where have we come to?
Haan yeh hum aa gaye hain kahaan
Yes, where have we come to?
