The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Ganga Aaye Kahan Se
Ganga from where do
you come, Ganga to where do you go
From where do you
come, to where do you go
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Ganga from where do
you come, Ganga to where do you go
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Ganga from where do
you come, Ganga to where do you go
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Night that is dark and
day so bright peacefully merge in you
Night that is dark and
day so bright peacefully merge in you
Twilight has dissolved
all the differences of form and hue
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Ganga from where do
you come, Ganga to where do you go
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Made from glass or
made from mud all these colourful bowls
Made from glass or
made from mud all these colourful bowls
But you equally fill
them up for all the thirsty souls
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Ganga from where do
you come, Ganga to where do you go
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Different names and
diverse tongues, unalike in form and face
Different names and
diverse tongues, unalike in form and face
Gaze at them with love
in the eyes and everyone embrace
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Ganga from where do
you come, Ganga to where do you go
Patterns of light and
shade on your waters flow
Ganga from where do
you come, Ganga to where do you go
The Original Hindi Lyrics of Ganga Aaye Kahan Se from
Kabuliwala
Ganga aaye kahaan se, Ganga jaaye kahaan re
Aaye kahaan se, jaaye kahaan re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhoop chhaanw re
Ganga aaye kahaan se, Ganga jaaye kahaan re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhoop chhaanw re
Ganga aaye kahaan se, Ganga jaaye kahaan re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhoop chhaanw re
Raat kaari din ujiyaara mil gaye dono saaye
Raat kaari din ujiyaara mil gaye dono saaye
Saanjh ne dekho rang roop ke kaise bhed mitaaye re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhoop chhaanw re
Ganga aaye kahaan se, Ganga jaaye kahaan re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhoop chhaanw re
Kaanch koi maati koi rang-birange pyaale
Kaanch koi maati koi rang-birange pyaale
Pyaas lage to ek baraabar jis mein paani daale re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhup chhaanw re
Ganga aaye kahaan se, Ganga jaaye kahaan re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhoop chhaanw re
Naam koi, boli koi, laakhon roop aur chehare
Naam koi, boli koi, laakhon roop aur chehare
Khol ke dekho pyaar ki ankhen sab tere sab mere re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhup chhaanw re
Ganga aaye kahaan se, Ganga jaaye kahaan re
Laharaaye paani mein jaise dhoop chhaanw re
Ganga aaye kahaan se, Ganga jaaye kahaan re
