Safarnama Lyrics English Translation – AUR | Ahad Khan, Usama Ali

Shab-E-Gham Kyun Dhalti Nahi
Why does this sorrowful night never end?

Zindagi Ye Badalti Nahi
Why does life never change?

Main Bhi Haal Batata Nahi Hoon
I don’t share what I’m going through either,

Tu Bhi To Chehra Ye Padhti Nahi
And you don’t try to read my face, either.

Mere Gham Ki Wajah Bhi Hai Kuch
There is a reason behind my sorrow, too,

Toh Ye Gham Be-Sabab Bhi Nahi
So this sadness isn’t without a cause.

Aankhein Tere Hijr Mein
In the pain of being separated from you,

Jaagte Jaagte Raahein Kyu Takti Rahi
Why did my eyes keep watching the road, staying awake all night?

Par Ab Tu Aur Main Hain
But now, it’s just you and me,

Kya Parwah Humein Bhoole Duniya Ke Gham
Why should we care about the world’s sorrows, forgotten by everyone?

Aur Hum Kabhi Samjhein
And perhaps we might finally understand each other,

Mere Kandhe Pe Tera Sir Rakhna
As you rest your head on my shoulder.

Ye Pair Bhi Lage Humse Haan
Even these trees seem to belong to us,

Mere Saaye Mein Tu Kabse Hai
You’ve been beneath my shade for so long.

Ye Khwaab Bhi Kitne Haseen Hain
These dreams are so beautiful,

Jise Chaho Saath Wahi Hai
The one you love is right there beside you.

Par Tu Badal Gaya Ho Jaise Sehar
But you changed, like the arrival of dawn,

Main Thehra Raha Aayi Na Lehar
While I remained still, and no wave ever came.

Tu Doob Gaya Main Pyaasa Raha Phir Bhi
You drowned, while I remained thirsty even then,

Phir Bhi Raah Taki Dil Ne Har Pal
Yet my heart kept waiting for you every moment.

Tu Aaya Nahi Na Teri Khabar
You never came, nor did any news of you arrive,

Girte Hi Rahe Aansu Mere Phir Bhi
My tears kept falling all the same,

Phir Bhi
Even so…

Ye Dil Tum Pe Fidaa Tha
This heart was devoted to you,

Tum Kahan Gum The
Where had you disappeared?

Tha Duniya Tumko Samjha
I thought I understood you,

Tum Toh Samajhte
I thought you would understand, too.

Tha Nibhana Nahi Toh
If you never intended to keep your promises,

Waade Na Karte
You shouldn’t have made them.

Tha Duniya Tumko Samjha
I thought I understood you,

Tum Bhi Na Samjhe Jaana
But you never understood me either, my love.

Ek Sawaal Ek Jawaab
One question, one answer,

Ek Qalam Ek Kitaab
One pen, one book,

Ek Ujda Chaman Ek Khilta Gulaab
A ruined garden, a blooming rose,

Kuch Behta Lahu Kuch Behti Sharaab
Some flowing blood, some flowing wine.

Main Behka Rahoon Bas Kehta Rahoon
Let me remain intoxicated, simply speaking my heart,

Mujhe Aate Nahi Kuch Adab-O-Aadaab
I don’t really know the rules of etiquette.

Par Likh Doonga Aap Pe Ghazlein Janaab
But I’ll write ghazals about you, my dear.

Main Aapki Nazron Mein Kuch Bhi Nahi
I may be nothing in your eyes,

Par Mere Liye Toh Aap Hi Aap
But to me, you are everything.

Main Bhar Doonga Zakhmon Ko
I will heal the wounds,

Toote Hue Sapnon Ko
And mend the broken dreams.

Manzilein Unki Dikhaunga
I’ll show them the way to their destinations.

Main Ban Jaunga Taara Ek Din
One day, I’ll become a star,

Laut Ke Phir Nahi Aaunga
And I’ll never return again.

Tum Kosoge Khud Ko Sochoge Mujhko
You’ll blame yourself and think of me,

Kaisa Tha Banjaara Who
Wondering what kind of wanderer I was.

Kya Faayda Waqt Hi Na Aayega
What good will it do? That time will never come,

Jab Main Maut Ki God Mein Jaunga
When I finally rest in the arms of death.

Main Tab Shayar Bhi Kahan Tha
Back then, I wasn’t even a poet,

Jo Tujhe Ghazlon Mein Sajata
Who could adorn you in beautiful ghazals.

Paas Thoda Hi Sahi Tu Reh To Jaata
Even if only for a little while, you could have stayed close to me.

Main To Hansta Muskurata
I would have kept laughing and smiling,

Meri Sochon Mein Bhi Na Tha
I had never even imagined

Ki Woh Tera Mujhse Milna Alvida Tha
That meeting you would turn out to be our final goodbye.

To Kya Hi Hua Thode Gham Hain Agar
So what if there is a little sorrow?

Zakhmon Ke Abhi Mausam Hain
It’s still the season of wounds and healing.

Toh Chal Uth Ja Dil Tang Hai Agar
Come on, get up, even if your heart feels heavy,

Chahne Wale Tere Tere Sang Hain
Those who love you are standing by your side.

Tu Thoda Muskura Thode Gham Hain Agar
Smile a little, even if there’s some sorrow.

Khushiyon Ke Chhupe Kahin Rang Hain
Somewhere, the colors of happiness are still hidden.

Tu Bhool Ja Duniya Ki Fikr
Forget your worries about the world,

Bhool Ja Gham Saare
Forget all your sorrows.
