Poetic Translation of Title Song from Yash Raj Film Saiyaara

 

Saiyaara – Translation of New 2025 Bollywood Trending Song

Meta Description:  Saiyaara is the title song from the latest Yash Raj film. The Bollywood movie feature debutant pair Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Enjoy the poetic translation.

The Meaning of Saiyaara

Saiyaara is an Urdu word that literally means wanderer, and it is most used to describe planets. Interestingly, the English word planet also originates from the Greek word for wanderer. In poetic usage, however, saiyaara can also refer to a star, as it does in this song.

 Stars, like planets, are wanderers—only much farther away. In the song, the beloved is likened to a star: distant and unreachable. This image captures the essence of separation and the ensuing longing, which form the emotional core of the plaintive lyrics.

I have used the phrase “O my star” for Saiyaara so as to match the syllables and maintain the rhythm.


The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Saiyaara

 

You seem close to me we intertwine

As if you reflect feelings of mine

You seem close to me we intertwine

As if you reflect feelings of mine

 

I sink in deep despair

When you’re not anywhere

I spend the lonely nights

Talking as if you’re there

 

Each second my two lips

Do your favours beseech

They sing of all your grace

And to you they reach

 

O my star, you're yet as you used to be

It’s just that life now sighs incessantly

O my star, you're yet as you used to be

It’s just that life now sighs incessantly

 

Our shared moments have now become my goal

Your tears entrenched deep into my soul

I hear you call me in my laughter

With your stories my heart I console

 

Strands of memories

Strands of memories that will not depart

Those who are mine stay etched in my heart

I read the pages of our bygone days

Our lived moments in my soul always

 

I sink in deep despair

When you’re not anywhere

I spend the lonely nights

Talking as if you’re there

 

Each second my two lips

Do your favours beseech

They sing of all your grace

And to you they reach

 

O my star, you're yet as you used to be

It’s just that life now sighs incessantly

O my star, you're yet as you used to be

It’s just that life now sighs incessantly

 

When you and I again happen to meet

All my longings to you I will repeat

Whatever I may achieve in my life

Without you I will never be complete

 

I sink in deep despair

When you’re not anywhere

I spend the lonely nights

Talking as if you’re there

 

Each second my two lips

Do your favours beseech

They sing of all your grace

And to you they reach

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of  the Title Song Saiyaara

 

Tu Paas Hai Mere Paas Hai Aise
Mera Koi Ehsaas Hai Jaise
Tu Paas Hai Mere Paas Hai Aise
Mera Koi Ehsaas Hai Jaise

 

Haye Main Mar Hi Jaaun
Jo Tujhko Na Paaun
Baaton Mein Teri Main
Raatein Bitaun

 

Honthon Pe Lamhan Lamhan
Hai Naam Tera Haaye
Tujhko Hi Gaaun Main
Tujhko Pukarun

 

Saiyaara Tu To Badla Nahi Hai
Mausam Zara Sa Rootha Hua Hai
Saiyara Tu Toh Badla Nahi Hai
Mausam Zara Sa Rootha Hua Hai

 

Beete Lamhon Se Duniya Basa Loon
Main Toh Tere Aasuon Ka Bana Hoon
Meri Hansi Mein Teri Sadayein
Teri Kahani Khud Ko Sunaun

 

Yaadon Ke Taare Ae Ae…
Yaadon Ke Taare Tootenge Kaise
Mere Hain Jo Woh Roothenge Kaise
Beete Dinon Ki Kholi Kitabein
Guzre Palon Ko Kaise Bhoola De

 

Haye Main Mar Hi Jaaun
Jo Tujhko Na Paaun
Baaton Mein Teri Main
Raatein Bitaun

 

Honthon Pe Lamhan Lamhan
Hai Naam Tera Haaye
Tujhko Hi Gaaun Main
Tujhko Pukarun

 

Saiyaara Tu To Badla Nahi Hai
Mausam Zara Sa Rootha Hua Hai
Saiyara Tu Toh Badla Nahi Hai
Mausam Zara Sa Rootha Hua Hai

 

Jis Roz Hum Tum Phir Se Milenge
Yeh Saari Baatein Tujhse Kahenge
Duniya Mein Chahe Ban Jaayein Jo Bhi
Tere Bina Tab Kuch Na Rahenge

 

Haye Main Mar Hi Jaaun
Jo Tujhko Na Paaun
Baaton Mein Teri Main
Raatein Bitaun

 

Honthon Pe Lamhan Lamhan
Hai Naam Tera Haaye
Tujhko Hi Gaaun Main
Tujhko Pukarun

 

 

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Saiyaara

 

You are close to me, close like this

As if you are some feeling of mine

 

Alas I will surely die

If I do not get you

With your thoughts I

Spend nights

 

On my lips every second

Is you name Alas

I sing about you

I call you

O my star you have not changed

The weather seems to be ill-disposed to me

 

 

I will make a world with momemts past

I am made from your tears

In my laughter I hear you call

I tell your story to myself

 

The stars of my memories

The stars of my memories how will they break

Those who are mine how will they sulk

I have opened the book of days gone by

How can I forget past moments

 

On the day you and I meet again

I will tell you all these things

Whatever I may become in this world

I will be nothing without you

English Translation of Gulzar Bollywood Song Aane Wala Pal

 

Aane Wala Pal –Translation of Filmfare Award Gulzar Song

Meta Description:  Aane Wala Pal is a Bollywood song from Hrishikesh Mukherjee film Gol Maal with inputs from Gulzar, Kishore Kumar and R. D. Burman. Enjoy the poetic translation.

Setting the Background for Translating Aane Wala Pal

Aane Wala Pal is yet another timeless composition by Gulzar that reflects on the transient nature of time, urging us to cherish each passing moment. The song deepens William Blake’s idea of holding “eternity in an hour.” Gulzar won the Filmfare Award for best lyricist  for Aane Wala Pal the 27th Filmfare Awards held in 1980.

 

In the context of the film, the song is performed by Lucky, the music tutor of the beautiful Urmila. Through its lyrics, he gently conveys that time slips away and they must live and express their love before the moment is lost.

 

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Aane Wala Pal

 

 

The moment yet to come will soon disappear

The moment yet to come will soon disappear

If possible in it your entire life fit

The moment that will soon disappear

 

The moment yet to come will soon disappear

If possible in it your entire life fit

     The moment that will soon disappear

 

I chanced upon one bud so innocent

I chanced upon one bud so innocent

She bloomed happily

Then away she went

It was just around

Then nowhere to be found

The moment that will soon disappear

 

The moment yet to come will soon disappear

If possible in it your entire life fit

      The moment that will soon disappear

 

Once a moment slipped from eons it’s said

Once a moment slipped from eons it’s said

They looked for it but

Found a saga instead

It was woven with cheers,

And riddled with tears

The moment that will soon disappear

 

The moment yet to come will soon disappear

If possible in it your entire life fit

      The moment that will soon disappear

 

The moment yet to come will soon disappear

The moment yet to come will soon disappear

 

 

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Aane Wala Pal from Gol Maal

 

Aane wala pal jane wala hai
Aane wala pal jane wala hai 
Ho sake to isme zindagi bita de 
Pal jo ye jane wala hai ho ho

 

Aane wala pal jane wala hai 
Ho sake to isme zindagi bita de 
Pal jo ye jane wala hai

 

Ek bar yun mili masum si kali
Ek bar yun mili masum si kali
Khilte hue kaha
Khus paash main chali
Dekha to yahin hai
Dhoonda to nahi hai
Pal jo ye jane wala hai wo ho

 

Aane wala pal jane wala hai
Ho sake to isme zindagi bita de
Pal jo ye jane wala hai

 

Ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin
Ek baar waqt se lamha gira kahin
Wahan dastan mili
Lamha kahi nahi

Thoda sa hasake 
Thoda sa rulake
Pal ye bhi jane wala hai wo ho


Aane wala pal jane wala hai 
Ho sake to isme zindagi bita de 
Pal jo ye jane wala hai

 

Aane wala pal jane wala hai
Aane wala pal jane wala hai
