Srikanth’s Papa Kehte Hain Hindi Lyrics English Meaning

Majrooh Sultanpuri’s writing shows a young man surrounded by friends planning to be engineers or businessmen. He rejects these paths, stating that his own dream is a specific person. His true destination remains a secret from those who expect him to succeed conventionally.

Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam KaregaMy father says I’ll make a great name for myself.
Beta Humara Aisa Kaam KaregaHe says our son will do such incredible work.
Magar Yeh Toh Koi Na JaaneBut what no one knows,
Ke Meri Manzil Hai Kahaanis where my destination truly lies.
Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam KaregaMy father says I’ll make a great name for myself.
Baithe Hain Milke Sab Yaar ApneAll of my friends are sitting here together.
Sabke Dilon Mein Armaan Yeh HaiAnd this is the dream in everyone’s heart.
Woh Zindagi Mein Kal Kya BanegaWhat will he become in his life tomorrow?
Har Ek Nazar Ka Sapna Yeh HaiIt’s the dream held in every single eye.
Koi Engineer Ka Kaam KaregaSomeone will do the work of an engineer.
Business Mein Koi Apna Naam KaregaSomeone will make their name in business.
Magar Yeh Toh Koi Na JaaneBut what no one knows,
Ke Meri Manzil Hai Kahaanis where my destination truly lies.
Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam KaregaMy father says I’ll make a great name for myself.
Mera Toh Sapna Hai Ek ChehraBut my own dream is of a certain face.
Dekhe Jo Usko Jhoome BahaarWhen I see her, the springtime begins to sway.
Gaalon Mein Khilti Kaliyon Ka MausamThere’s a season of blooming buds in her cheeks.
Aankhon Mein Jaadu Hothon Mein PyarThere’s magic in her eyes and love on her lips.
Banda Yeh Khoobsoorat Kaam KaregaThis man will do such beautiful work.
Dil Ki Duniya Mein Apna Naam KaregaHe’ll make his name in the world of the heart.
Meri Nazar Se Dekho Toh YaaronIf you only look through my eyes, my friends,
Ke Meri Manzil Hai Kahaanyou’ll see where my destination truly lies.
Papa Kehte Hain Bada Naam KaregaMy father says I’ll make a great name for myself.
