| Mukesh | Mukesh |
| Saawan Me Jab Kabhi Bhi Ye Baadal Gagan Ke Chhaaye Bijli Se Darr Gaye Tum Darr Kar Kareeb Aaye | Sometimes in the rainy season When the clouds spread across the sky You get scared of lightning And fearfully, you come closer to me |
| Lata | Lata |
| Phir Kya Hua Bataao Barsaat Tham Na Jaaye Barsaat Tham Na Jaaye | Now tell me, what happened next? May the rain never stop May the rain never stop |
| Mukesh | Mukesh |
| Jag Ye Bandhan Na Tod Saka Hum Tod Ke Har Deewaar Mile Is Janam Janam Ki Nadiya Ke Is Paar Mile Us Paar Mile | The world couldn’t break our bond We tore down every barrier In the river of life We are united on this side and we’ll be united on the other side |
| Lata | Lata |
| Bhagwaan Ne Poocha Maango To Tum Ko Saara Sansaar Mile Par Hum Ne Kaha Sansaar Nahin Hum Ko Saajan Ka Pyar Mile | God said to me Ask for anything and you will receive the whole world But I replied that I didn’t want the world I only want my beloved’s love |

About The Lyrics
The Hindi lyrics of this song were obtained from the Bollywood Product website [1]. The English translation of most of the song was taken from the English subtitles of the original movie. A few parts of the translation came from the SonicHits website [2]. The final versions of the Hindi lyrics and English translation were put together by P. Mohan [3].
Fun Facts
The song’s central phrase, “yug yug se” (युग युग से), is a powerful Hindi phrase meaning “from ages and ages” or “for a very long time“. The word yug (युग) is of Sanskrit origin and refers to an “era” or “age“, often used in Hindu philosophy to denote vast periods of time. This phrase immediately sets the song’s tone, establishing that the love between the characters is not just for this lifetime but has existed for countless eons.
The lyrics continue to use words that reinforce this theme of eternal love and destiny. The word “milan” (मिलन), which is the title of the film, means “union” or “coming together“. The phrase “geet milan ke” (गीत मिलन के) translates to “the song of union“, underscoring that their love story is a timeless melody. The song also mentions a “janam janam ki nadiya” (जनम जनम की नदिया), literally “the river of lifetime after lifetime“, a beautiful metaphor for the continuous flow of their love through different rebirths. This imagery is deeply rooted in Hindu beliefs about reincarnation and the idea that souls can be eternally connected.
