Ghar Kab Aaoge Lyrics English Translation – Border 2 | Ye Dil Jo Barso Se Tha Khali Khali Sa

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho…

“Ghar Kab Aaoge” from Border 2 is a deeply moving song that captures the longing of soldiers far from home. Through letters from family asking “Ghar kab aaoge?” (When will you come home?), the song shows the pain of separation. The mother prays for her child, the wife waits with henna and Karva Chauth rituals, and even streets and friends seem to echo the same question. The house feels empty, hearts ache, and nature itself—the breeze and the moon—seems to call the soldiers back, emphasizing the emotional void left by their absence. The line “Ye Dil Jo Barso Se Tha Khali Khali Sa” beautifully conveys this deep yearning, forming the emotional core of the song.

Sandese Aate Hain Humein Tadpate Hain
Letters arrive and they torment us,
Jo Chitthi Aati Hai Woh Pooche Jaati Hai
The letters that come keep asking,
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Likho Kab Aaoge
When will you come home? When will you come home? Write when you will come?
Ke Tum Bin Yeh Ghar Soona Soona Hai
Without you, this house is lonely, lonely.

Amidst this longing, the soldiers hold onto memories of their village, love, and promises to return: “Main vapas aaunga.” The song portrays the patience and pain of those waiting, like a woman pleading to the wind for her lost love who took her youth and left behind tears. Though no path can erase the distance, the soldier’s duty to the motherland keeps him strong. Its simplicity and heartfelt lyrics make the song resonate with anyone who has felt the ache of separation while holding onto hope for reunion.

Sandese Aate Hain Humein Tadpate Hain
Letters arrive and they torment us,
Jo Chitthi Aati Hai Woh Pooche Jaati Hai
The letters that come keep asking,
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Likho Kab Aaoge
When will you come home? When will you come home? Write when you will come?
Ke Tum Bin Ye Dil Soona Soona Hai
Without you, this heart is empty, empty.

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho…

Ye Dil Jo Barso Se Tha Khali Khali Sa
This heart had been empty for years,
Kisi Ke Aane Se Saja Diwali Sa
It lit up like Diwali when someone came.
Jage Hai Darwaaze Kisi Ki Aahat Se
The doors wake up at the sound of someone’s footsteps,
Savera Hota Hai Kisi Ki Karwat Se
Dawn comes with someone turning over in sleep.

Main Sochta Karta Hoon Yahi Tanhai Mein
I keep thinking in my loneliness,
Ke Chanda Utrega Meri Angnaai Mein
That the moon will descend into my courtyard.

Naseebon Wali Ne Kaan Ki Baali Ne
The lucky one, her earrings,
Chauth Ki Thali Ne
The plate from Karva Chauth,
Aur Poocha Hai Mehndi Ki Laali Ne
And the red color from henna have asked,

Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Likho Kab Aaoge
When will you come home? When will you come home? Write when you will come?
Ke Tum Bin Yeh Dil Soona Soona Hai
This heart feels empty without you.

Sandese Aate Hai Humein Tadpate Hai
Letters arrive and they torment us,
Jo Chitthi Aati Hai Woh Pooche Jaati Hai
The letters that come keep asking,
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Likho Kab Aaoge
When will you come home? When will you come home? Write when you will come?
Ke Tum Bin Yeh Ghar Soona Soona Hai
Without you, this house is lonely, lonely.

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho…

Ye Pucho Aankhon Ke Jhalkte Paani Se
Ask from the tears shining in these eyes,
Bichadte Hai Koi Kahan Aasani Se
Does anyone part easily?
Main Pichhe Chhod Aaya Duaein Karti Maa
I left behind a mother who prays for me,
Ke Us’se Bhi Pyari Mujhe Ye Dharti Maa
This motherland is even dearer to me than her.
Kisi Ne Dheere Se Kaha Tha Laut Aana
Someone softly said to return,
Main Rasta Dekhungi Mujhe Na Tadpana
I will wait for you, don’t torment me.

Jaagti Raaton Ne Ankahi Baaton Ne
Sleepless nights, unsaid words,
Adhoore Vaadon Ne Aur Pucha Hai Uski Yado Ne
Unfulfilled promises, and her memories have asked,
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Likho Kab Aaoge
When will you come home? When will you come home? Write when you will come?
Ke Tum Bin Ye Ghar Suna Suna Hai
Without you, this house feels empty.

Badi Yaad Aati Hai Kisi Ki Raaton Mein
I miss someone deeply at night,
Kalai Resham Si Abhi Hai Hathon Mein
Her silky wrists are still in my hands.
Shayari Jaisi Wo Labon Pe Rehti Hai
She rests on my lips like poetry,
Mohabbat Jaisi Wo Ragon Mein Behti Hai
She flows through my veins like love.

Jo Gudiyon Se Khele Wo Gudiya Yaad Aye
The girl who played with dolls comes to mind,
Ke Baaton Baaton Mein Usi Ki Baat Aye
In every talk, it turns to her.
Mere Dildaaron Ne Gali Baazaron Ne
My loved ones, the streets, the markets,
Ki Chitthi Taro Ne Aur Pucha Hai Mere Yaaro Ne
Letters, telegrams, and my friends have asked,
Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Ke Ghar Kab Aaoge Likho Kab Aaoge
When will you come home? When will you come home? Write when you will come?
Ke Tum Bin Ye Dil Soona Soona Hai
Without you, this heart is empty, empty.

Aye Guzarne Wali Hawa Bata Mera Itna Kaam Karegi Kya
O passing breeze, tell me this: will you do so much work for me?
Mujhe Chhod’ke Jo Chala Gaya Usey Dhundh Laa
The one who left me behind and went away—find him for me.
Koi Rehguzar Ya Koi Gali Mujhe Aaj Tak To Nahi Mili
No path or any street has been found by me even till today,
Jo Mita Sake Ye Faasla Jo Mita Sake Ye Faasla
That can erase this distance, that can erase this distance.

Meri Saari Jawani Le Gaya
He took away all of my youth,
Aur Aankh Mein Paani De Gaya
And left water in my eyes.
Jise Dohraunga Umra Bhar
The story he gave me,
Wo Aisi Kahaani De Gaya
I will repeat all my life.

Aye Guzarne Wali Hawa Tujhe Hai Kasam Na Aise Rula Mujhe
O passing breeze, I swear to you—do not make me cry like this.
Main Kahan Se Laun Wo Dil Bata
Where do I find that heart, tell me,
Jise Ho Qubool Ye Alvida
That would accept this goodbye?

Main Wapas Aaunga Main Wapas Aaunga
I will return, I will return,
Phir Apne Gaon Mein Pyar Ki Chhaon Mein
Again to my village, in the shade of love,

Tarasti Aankhon Se Kisi Ki Baahon Se
From longing eyes, into someone’s arms,
Ke Ghar Ke Raahon Se
From the paths to home,
Kiya Jo Vaada Tha Woh Nibhaunga
I will fulfill the promise I made.
Main Wapas Aaunga Main Wapas Aaunga
I will return, I will return,
Main Vapas Aaunga Main Vapas Aaunga
I will return, I will return.

Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho…
