Setting the Background to Khwab Ho Tum Yaa Koi Haqeeqat
The piano has long been the most loyal companion of the leading actors in Hindi films, providing the perfect backdrop for moments of both sorrow and celebration. It is rare to find a star who hasn’t poured their emotions into the keys or been serenaded by them. This journey begins in 1938 with the film Bhabhi, where Jairaj first strikes the notes, and spans to Ayushmann Khurrana in Andhadhun and beyond. This blog is not about listing such songs, but rather about relishing their translations. Take Khwab Ho Tum, for example, where Dev Anand shines in his flamboyant best, becoming the life of the party.
The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Khwab Ho Tum
You’re a dream or
someone real
Please tell me who you
are
Come close to me for a
long time
You’ve been standing
far
As if the morning is
Covered by the dark
night
As if the morning is
Covered by the dark
night
Your face in flowing
hair
Half hidden and half
bright
You’re a dream or
someone real
Please tell me who you
are
Oo Come close to me
for a long time
You’ve been standing
far
You’re a dream or
someone real
Please tell me who you
are
Oo Come close to me
for a long time
You’ve been standing
far
The ears of my soul
heard
The patter of your
feet
The ears of my soul
heard
The patter of your
feet
Serenely began to flow
The rhythm of my heart
beat
Serenely began to flow
The rhythm of my heart
beat
You’re a dream or
someone real
Please tell me who you
are
Oo Come close to me
for a long time
You’ve been standing
far
You’re a dream or
someone real
Please tell me who you
are
Oo Come close to me

On every turn you and
I
Somehow we do meet
On every turn you and
I
Somehow we do meet
But you leave suddenly
Our story incomplete
But you leave suddenly
Our story incomplete
You’re a dream or
someone real
Please tell me who you
are
Oo Come close to me
for a long time
You’ve been standing

Please call me once
again
Let us meet face to
face
Please call me once
again
Let us meet face to
face
When I fall please
hold me
In your arms embrace
When I fall please

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Khwab Ho Tum from Teen
Devian
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi
haqeeqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Der se kitani door khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Subah pe jis tarah
Shaam kaa ho gumaar
Subah pe jis tarah
Shaam kaa ho gumaar
Zulfo me ek cheharaa
Kuchh zaahir kuchh nihaar
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi
haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Dhadakano ne suni
Ek sadaa paao ki
Dhadakano ne suni
Ek sadaa paao ki
Aur dil pe laharaai
Aanchal ki chhaao si
Aur dil pe laharaai
Aanchal ki chhaao si
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi
haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Mil hi jaati ho tum
Mujhako har mod pe
Mil hi jaati ho tum
Mujhako har mod pe
Chal deti ho kitane
Afasaane chhod ke
Chal deti ho kitane
Afasaane chhod ke
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi
haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Phir pukaaro mujhe
Phir meraa naam lo
Phir pukaaro mujhe
Phir meraa naam lo
Girataa hun phir apni
Baaho me thaam lo
Girataa hun phir apni
Baaho me thaam lo
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi
haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
Khwaab ho tum yaa koi haqiqat
Kaun ho tum batalaao
Oo der se kitani dur khadi ho
Aur karib aa jaao
