Aaoge Jab Tum - Rashid Khan

I used to sing this song to my little brother as a lullaby when he was young. It's about how the return of a long-lost lover will feel like the start of spring; the flowers will finally bloom, the rains will burst forth from the heavens. In the movie that this song is from, Jab We Met, the main protagonist lets go of the girl he loves so that she can marry the man she loves, and this song plays when he finally sees her again. My personal favorite line from this song is: “Palkon pe jhil mil taare hai,” which translates to “There are shining stars on your eyelashes.” But there aren't really stars on her lashes, there are tears. It's truly gorgeous imagery.


[Chorus]
Aaoge jab tum o saajna
Aaoge jab tum o saajna
Anganaa phool khilenge
Barsega saawan, barsega saawan
Jhoom jhoom ke
Do dil aise milenge

 When you come back, my dear
When you come back, my dear
The flowers in the garden will bloom again
Our hearts will finally reunite
Like the fall of heavy rain

[Verse 1]
Naina tere kajrare hai
Naino pe hum dil harein hai
Anjane hi tere naino ne
Vaade kiye kayi saare hai
Saanson ki laiy madham chale
Tose gaye, barsega saawan
Barsega saawan jhoom jhoom ke
Do dil aise milenge

 Your eyes are lined with kohl
I have lost my heart to your eyes
You said nothing, but your gaze
Promised me the world
Breathing has become so difficult
Ever since you left
Our hearts will finally reunite
Like the fall of heavy rain

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Chanda ko taaku raaton mein
Hai zindagi tere hathon mein
Palkon pe jhil mil taare hai
Aana bhari barsato mein
Sapno ka jahaan
Hoga khila-khila
Barsega saawan, barsega saawan
Jhoom jhoom ke
Do dil aise milenge

 I stare at the moon every night
My life is in your hands
There are shining stars on your eyelashes
Come back in the heavy rain
The world of my dreams
Will be in full bloom
Our hearts will finally reunite
Like the fall of heavy rain

[Outro]
Anganaa phool khilenge
Anganaa phool khilenge

 The flowers in the garden will bloom again
The flowers in the garden will bloom again
