Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya Poetic Translation of Hit Song from Guide

 

Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya – Translation of Rafi Song for Dev Anand

Meta Description:  Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya is a hit song from Dev Anand film Guide. Majrooh is the lyricist and Rafi the singer. Sing my English translation to the original track.

Setting the Background for Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya

 

In this song, Rosie stands accused of infidelity by Raju, not because she is involved with another man. Instead, Rosie has become so consumed by her dance performances that she no longer has time for her lover and mentor, Raju, who has tirelessly worked to enable her reach the pinnacle of success.

The visual execution of this song is pure cinematic brilliance, brought to life by director Vijay Anand. Raju imagines himself singing the song on stage, with Rosie’s dance unfolding in the background. The stark disconnect between the two elements poignantly emphasizes Raju's isolation and the emotional distance that has come between the once-intimate lovers.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya

 

What have I now become

Unfaithful lost in your love

My pain I can’t fathom

Unfaithful lost in your love

 

At least I’m free of a misconception

Learnt beauty’s true meaning

Ho, At least I’m free of a misconception

Learnt beauty’s true meaning

It isn’t a paragon of perfection

But is a scorpion’s sting

Pain has made my heart numb

Unfaithful lost in your love

My pain I can’t fathom

Unfaithful lost in your love

 

I don’t know why but we have become

Now centuries apart

Yes, I don’t know why but we have become

Now centuries apart

Looking at us who will believe we

Were two bodies one heart

We have hit rock bottom

Unfaithful lost in your love

What have I now become

Unfaithful lost in your love

 

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya from Guide

 

Kya se kya ho gaya

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

Chaaha kya kya mila

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

 

Chalo suhaana bharam to toota

Jaana ke husn kya hai

Ho, chalo suhaana bharam to toota

Jaana ke husn kya hai

Kehti hai jis ko pyaar duniya

Kya cheez kya bala hai

Dil ne kya na saha

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

Chaaha kya kya mila

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

 

Tere mere dil ke beech ab to

Sadiyon ke faasle hain

Haan tere mere dil ke beech ab to

Sadiyon ke faasle hain

Yakeen hoga kise ke hum tum

Ik raah sang chale hain

Hona hai aur kya

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

Kya se kya ho gaya

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

 

The Literal Translation of the Lyrics of Kya Se Kya Ho Gaya

 

Kya se kya ho gaya

What was I and what I have now become

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

Unfaithful one in your love

Chaaha kya kya mila

What did I desire and what did I get

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

Unfaithful one in your love

 

Chalo suhaana bharam to toota

At least I am free of the misconception that was giving me a false sense of pleasure

Jaana ke husn kya hai

I have learnt the truth about beauty

Kehti hai jis ko pyaar duniya

I have learnt what the world calls love

Kya cheez kya bala hai

Is actually a dangerous thing

Dil ne kya na saha

What has my heart not suffered

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

Unfaithful one in your love

 

Tere mere dil ke beech ab to

Now between our hearts

Sadiyon ke faasle hain

Lies a distance of centuries

Yakeen hoga kise ke hum tum

Who will believe that we once

Ik raah sang chale hain

Travelled the same path

Hona hai aur kya

What more can befall me

Bewafa tere pyaar mein

Unfaithful one in your love
