About The Lyrics

The Hindi lyrics of this song and the English translation were obtained from the BollywoodLyrics website [1]. The final translation was put together by P. Mohan [2].

Fun Facts

The song is set in a fantasy-like garden, where the characters imagine building a home together in a “city of flowers.” The visuals include playful moments, dancing, and a symbolic wooden house representing their dream life together.

The lyrics paint a picture of utopian romance: a home filled with flowers, sweet conversations, and no room for fights. Lines like Maine voh jaga hi nahin banaayi (I didn’t even make that place) reflect the innocence and idealism of young love.

The song became a symbol of teenage romance in India and was widely played on radio and television. It remains one of the most beloved tracks from the early 1980s.
