The winding roads open their arms to us.

A soft, dense mist settles on my lashes/
Where is this we've arrived at?
Yes, where is this we've arrived at?
Look there; on the mountains, the clouds
are softly singing our story.
Just listen; this valley of flowers
is telling our story alone.
In this city of dreams, on this road of memories,
where have we come to?
Yes, where is this we've arrived at?
The season has strewn gold along these roads;
you and my dawn is a golden one.

KYON HAWA
Yash Chopra speaks:
ek din jab savere savere surma'ii se a.ndher kii chaadar haTke, ek parbat ke takiye se
suuraj ne sar jo uTHaaya to dekha dil kii vaadii me.n chaahat ka mausam hai. Aur
yaado.n kii Daaliyo.n par anginat biite lamho.n kii kaliyaa.n mahakne lagii hai.n.
Ankahii ansunii aarzuu aadhii so'ii hu'ii aadhii jaagii hu'ii aa.nkhe.n maltii hu'ii dekhtii
hai. Lahar dar lahar mauj dar mauj bahatii hu'ii zi.ndagii jaise har pal na'ii hai. Aur phir
bhii vahii. Haa.n vahii zi.ndagii jiske daaman me.n ek muhabbat bhii hai ek hasrat bhii
hai. Paas aana bhii hai duur jaana bhii hai. Aur yeh ahasaas hai vaqt jharne sa bahata
hu'aa jaa raaha hai yeh kahata hu'aa: dil kii vaadii me.n chaahat ka mausam hai, aur
yaado.n kii Daaliyo.n par anginat biite lamho.n kii kaliyaa.n mahakne lagii hai.n.
One day, early in the morning, tossing off the gray blanket of dawn, the sun
lifted its head from its mountain pillow and saw that the season of love had arrived in
the valley of the heart. And on the branches of memory, countless flowerbuds of past
moments were starting to scent the air. Unvoiced, unheard longings, half conscious
and half unconscious, were waking, rubbing their eyes, looking around. Life flows like
waves, wave upon wave, every moment new, but nevertheless always the same. Yes,
life! in whose folds there is both love and grief, meetings as well as partings. It flows
and ripples, and as it passes us, it tells of a season of love arrived in the valley of
hearts, where, on the branches of memory, countless flowerbuds of past moments have
started to scent the air.
kyo.n hawaa aaj yuu.n gaa rahii hai

mere dil bataa aaj hona hai kya
chaa.ndanii din me.n kyo.n chhaa

mere dil bataa kya hai yeh silsila

Why is the breeze singing today?

Why is the whole atmosphere saturated with
color?
Tell me, my heart, what is destined to happen
today?
Why is moonlight spreading into the day?
What path is life taking?
My heart, explain this chain of events!

kyo.n hawaa aaj yuu.n gaa rahii hai

gaa rahii hai...
jahaa.n tak bhii jaa'e.n nigaahe.n

Why is the breeze singing today?

It's singing...

gaa rahii hai...

It's singing...

Everywhere I look, light is showering down.

Why are the roads so resplendent today?

Why do the blooming flowers look so
khile phuul kyo.n hai niraale
extraordinary?
khushbu'e.n kaisii ye bah rahii hai.n How is such a fragrance floating on the wind?
dhaRkane.n jaane kya kah rahii hai.n Who knows what my heartbeats are telling me!

Whose face is this that I see in every flower?

Whose voice is this that I hear even when I'm
not listening?
What sort of footsteps are these that approach?
What sort of dreams am I being shown?
Tell me, my heart; who is coming?
Why is the breeze singing today?
It's singing...

HUM TO BHAI JAISE HAIN

ham to bhai jaise hai.n vaise rahe.nge I'll always stay the way I am.
ab koii khushii ho ya ho khafaa ham
nahii.n badale.nge apnii adaa
samjhe na samjhe koii ham yahii

Now, whether it be in happiness or in anger, I

won't change my style.
Whether or not anyone understands, I'll keep
saying it:

ham to bhai jaise hai.n vaise rahe.nge I'll always stay the way I am.
ham dil shahazaadii hai.n marzii kii
maalika
sar pe aa.nchal kyo.n rakhe DHalka

ab koii kush ho yaa ho ruuTHe is
baat par chaahe har baat TuuTe

I'm the queen of hearts, the mistress of my own

desires.
Why should I keep a scarf on my head? If it
slips, it slips!
Now, no matter whether someone is happy with
me or irritated, even if we have a falling out,

ham to bhai jaise hai.n vaise rahe.nge I'll always stay the way I am.
hame.n shauq meh.ndii ka na
shehanaa'ii ka hai...
hamaare li'e to apna ghar hii banaa
hai
sunta agar ho to sun le taare lagta
nahii.n kabhii ham ho.nge raahe.n

I have no taste for the trappings of marriage...

My household is already established.
If you're listening, stars, then hear this: I won't
ever take to the roads.

ham to bhai jaise hai.n vaise rahe.nge I'll always stay the way I am.

ab koii khushii ho ya ho khafaa ham

nahii.n badale.nge apnii adaa
samjhe na samjhe koii ham yahii
kahe.nge

Now, whether it be in happiness or in anger, I

won't change my style.
Whether or not anyone understands, I'll keep
saying it:

ham to bhai jaise hai.n vaise rahe.nge I'll always stay the way I am.

I've broken the world's strictures and come to

you.
For your sake, I left the world behind.
Maddened by love, I've come to your door...
Your lover has come, has come;
a madman has come to your door...
Your madman...
Maddened by love, I've come to your door...
Your madman...

This is your doing;
this is your fervent admirer.
Such are the moths caught up in love for you!
I've come to your door...
When I behold your radiance, I forget all my
woes...
When I behold your radiance, I forget all my
woes.
The pain flowing through me asks only this:
look at where you are, and where I am:
I'm a stranger here.
Have mercy, cast just one glance upon me.
Darling, I'll hazard my heart, I'll lay down my
very life,
just like the moth who dies in the flame!
Your maddened lover has come to your door...
Your madman...
I've come to your door,
your lover...
your lover...
I've come to your door.
Maddened lover...

Atrocity comes easily to you;

you and society are one and the same.
These are the world's customs; I'm caught in
their hold.
Don't ask me what I complain of, or how I
found such sorrow.
How could I explain to you how cruel love is?
Why are some destined to weep? Why does that
happen?
Why is everyone a stranger to matters of the
heart?
What turn has this story taken?
What environment is this? We're in the land of
joy.
Whom do we call our own, and whom a
stranger?
What turn has the story taken?
What turn has your story taken?
Your story, your story...
My story, my story...
What turn has the story taken?
