Kehne Lagaa Lyrics English Translation – Rushil Aswal

Ek Ladka Tha Azeeb, Thi Baaton Ki Kami
There was a strange boy who always remained withdrawn and quiet.

Dimag Mein Uske Itni Saari Baatein Chalti Keh Na Saka
So many thoughts ran through his mind, yet he couldn’t say them.

Woh Keh Na Saka
He couldn’t say them…

Har Baat Pe Rota Tha
He used to cry over everything.

Uske Liye Har Pal Ek Dhoka Tha
For him, every moment felt like a betrayal.

Phir Usne Khayi Itni Saari Thokre, Ke Kehne Lagaa Woh Kehne Laga
That calm-natured boy faced so many betrayals that he could no longer stay silent—now he has begun to speak.

Lekin Ab Woh Rota Nahi
And the remarkable thing is, now he doesn’t even cry anymore.

Rone Se Kya Hi Ho Jayega?
What would crying even change?

Gir Kar Ab Sambhalta Nahi
After falling, he no longer tries to get back up.

Darta Hai Wapas Gir Jayega
He’s afraid he’ll fall again.

Logon Ki Ab Woh Sunta Nahi
He doesn’t listen to people anymore.

Sun’ne Se Kya Koi Laut Aayega
Will listening bring anyone back?

Auron Ke Dil Kitne Bhi Ho Saaf
No matter how pure others’ hearts may be.

Usse Behtar Use Kaun Jaan Payega?
Who could understand him better than himself?

Asaan Nahi Tha Yeh, Jitna Ho Sake Chhipaya Tha Usne
It wasn’t easy—he hid it as much as he could.

Aur Jab Jab Uska Dil Hai Tezi Se Dhadakta Use Satata
And whenever his heart raced, it troubled him.

Woh Likhta Jaata
So he kept writing.

Kisi Door Desh Se Aaya Toh Na Woh
He wasn’t someone who came from a distant land.

Jo Usool Bolke Galti Chhupa Do
Who would hide mistakes behind lofty principles?

Sapna Bech Ke Door Bhej Ke Usko Kyun Fasaya
Why lure him by selling a dream, sending him far away?

Use Na Bula Ab Woh Chala Hai Gaya
Don’t call him now—he has already left.

Lekin Ab Woh Rota Nahi
But now, he doesn’t cry.

Rone Se Kya Hi Ho Jayega?
What would crying even change?

Gir Kar Ab Sambhalta Nahi
After falling, he no longer tries to recover.

Darta Hai Wapas Gir Jayega
He fears he’ll fall again.

Logon Ki Ab Woh Sunta Nahi
He doesn’t listen to people anymore.

Sun’ne Se Kya Koi Laut Aayega
Will listening bring anyone back?

Auron Ke Dil Kitne Bhi Ho Saaf
No matter how pure others’ hearts may be.

Usse Behtar Use Kaun Jaan Payega?
Who could know him better than himself?

Lekin Ab Main Rota Nahi
But now, I don’t cry.

Rone Se Kya Hi Jayega?
What would crying really change?

Gir Kar Ab Sambhalta Nahi
After falling, I no longer try to recover.

Darta Hoon Wapas Gir Jaunga
I’m afraid I’ll fall again.

Logon Ki Ab Mein Sunta Nahi
I don’t listen to people anymore.

Sunne Se Kya Koi Laut Aayega
Will listening bring anyone back?

Auron Ke Dil Kitne Bhi Ho Saaf
No matter how pure others’ hearts may be.

Mujhse Behtar Mujhe Kaun Jaan Payega?
Who could understand me better than myself?

Kya Mujhe Koi Pehchan Payega?
Will anyone ever truly recognize me?

Mujhse Behtar Mujhe Kaun Jaan Payega?
Who could know me better than myself?

Kya Mujhe Koi Pehchan Payega?
Will anyone ever truly recognize me?

Mujhse Behtar Mujhe Kaun Jaan Payega?
Who could understand me better than myself?
