120 Bahadur’s Yaad Aate Hain Lyrics Translation
The soldier’s memory shifts to his mother’s embrace, who told him to go and be a soldier. Another thought is of a waving scarf and kohl-lined eyes, recalling a romantic interest. These specific images ground the soldier’s longing in personal relationships from his past.
Ho Nikle The Jab Hum Ghar SeWhen I first left my home
Apne Gaaon Se Nagar SeFrom my village, from my town
Pyaar Jo Barse Yaad Aate HainI remember the love that showered down
Lipat Ke Humko MaiyaMy mother, embracing me tightly
Boli Thi Jaao SipahiyaTold me, “Go, my soldier”
Woh Pal Humein Bhaiya Yaad Aate HainOh brother, I remember those moments
Apne Aangan ChaubareMy own courtyard and ‘chaubare’
Woh Galiyaan Aur GaliyaareThose lanes and alleyways
Bachpan Ke Dost Saare Yaad Aate HainI remember all my childhood friends
Lehrata Koi Aanchal, Woh Aankhein Aur Woh KaajalA fluttering ‘aanchal’, those eyes, and that ‘kaajal’
Hum Jinpe The Paagal Yaad Aate HainThe one I was crazy for, I remember them
Ho Nikle The Jab Hum Ghar SeWhen I first left my home
Apne Gaaon Se Nagar SeFrom my village, from my town
Pyaar Jo Barse Yaad Aate HainI remember the love that showered down
Ho Lipat Ke Humko MaiyaMy mother, embracing me tightly
Boli Thi Jaao SipahiyaTold me, “Go, my soldier”
Woh Pal Humein Bhaiya Yaad Aate HainOh brother, I remember those moments
Diwali Ki Saari JagmagAll the bright lights of Diwali
Woh Holi Mein Chalna DagmagStumbling around during Holi
Woh Masti Ki Raatein ThiThose were the nights of fun
Woh Masti Ke DinThose were the days of fun
Jise Dekh Kar Dil DhadkeThe one whose sight made my heart race
Woh Kitni Bhi Humpe BhadkeNo matter how angry she got with me
Magar Chain Humko Kab Tha Use Dekhe BinBut I never found peace without seeing her
Use Dekhe Bin, Use Dekhe BinWithout seeing her, without seeing her
Woh Pyaar Ke Sachche NaatakThose innocent dramas of love
Woh Shaadi Mein Bajti DholakThe beat of the ‘dholak’ at a wedding
Geet Puraane Ab Tak Yaad Aate HainI still remember the old songs
Gaaon Ke Geet SuhaaneThe lovely songs of the village
Chahe Kitne Ho PuraaneNo matter how old they are
Humko Jaane Anjaane Yaad Aate HainI remember them, whether I mean to or not
Ho Nikle The Jab Hum Ghar SeWhen I first left my home
Apne Gaaon Se Nagar SeFrom my village, from my town
Pyaar Jo Barse Yaad Aate HainI remember the love that showered down
Ho Lipat Ke Humko MaiyaMy mother, embracing me tightly
Boli Thi Jaao SipahiyaTold me, “Go, my soldier”
Woh Pal Humein Bhaiya Yaad Aate HainOh brother, I remember those moments
