Song Lyrics
| Gaaye ja geet milan ke Tu apne lagan ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai Gaaye ja geet milan ke Tu apne lagan ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai |
Sing songs of union I have to go To my beloved’s home Sing songs of union I have to go To my beloved’s home |
| Kaahe chhalake naino Ki gagari kaahe barse jal Tujh bin suni saajan ki Nagari paradesiyaa ghar chal Pyaase hai dip gagan ke Tere darshan ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai |
Why do my eyes shed tears? Without you, Your beloved’s home is lifeless Oh wanderer, let’s go home The stars there Are desperate to see me I have to go |
| Gaaye ja geet milan ke Tu apne lagan ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai |
Sing songs of union I have to go To my beloved’s home |
| Lut na jaae jeevan kaa Deraa mujhko hai ye gham Hum akele ye jag luteraa Bichhade na mil ke hum Bigade nasib na ban ke Ye din jeevan ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai |
Life may just pass by That’s what I fear I am alone against the big bad world We may be separated May our good destiny not change for the bad – I have to go |
| Gaaye ja geet milan ke Tu apne lagan ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai |
Sing songs of union I have to go To my beloved’s home |
| Dole naina pritam ke Dwaare milne ki hai dhun Baalam tera tujhko Pukaare yaad aane waale sun Saathi milenge bachpan ke Khilenge phool mann ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai |
My eyes look out for my beloved’s home They are desperate to see her Your beloved calls out to you The one I miss, listen Childhood sweethearts will meet Their hearts will fill with joy I have to go |
| Gaaye ja geet milan ke Tu apne lagan ke Sajan ghar jaanaa hai |
Sing songs of union I have to go To my beloved’s home |

| Kaahe chhalake naino Why do my eyes shed tears? Ki gagari kaahe barse jal Without you, Tujh bin suni saajan ki Your beloved’s home is lifeless Nagari paradesiyaa ghar chal Oh wanderer, let’s go home Pyaase hai dip gagan ke The stars there Tere darshan ke Are desperate to see me Sajan ghar jaanaa hai I have to go |

About The Lyrics
The Hindi lyrics of this song were obtained from the Hindilyrics123 website [1] with some editorial changes. The English translation of the lyrics was mostly obtained from the Thomas Daniel restored version of the original movie [2]. P. Mohan [3] put together the final version of the translation using Google Translate (Urdu to English).
Fun Facts
The song is used during a bidai (farewell) scene, as Manju (Nargis) leaves her home after marriage. It captures her unspoken sorrow, and the emotional tension of separation is conveyed through the heartfelt voice of Mukesh.
In the film, Mohan (Dilip Kumar) sings this song while joyfully racing home in a bullock cart to meet Manju, unaware that she has been married off to another man and that she is getting ready to leave for her husband’s home. The emotional irony of the scene, Mohan’s hope versus Manju’s heartbreak, adds depth to the song’s impact.
This song was one of Mukesh’s early hits, and it helped establish him as a leading playback singer. His emotional delivery became a signature style that resonated deeply with audiences.
