Bayaan – Kahan Jaoon – Urdu Lyrics with English Translation

Bayaan, the renowned Pakistani band that emerged victorious in the Pepsi Battle of the Bands, has once again graced the music scene with their latest release, “Kahan Jaoon.” This song not only marks a significant milestone in their musical journey but also showcases their prowess in delivering soul-stirring melodies combined with poignant lyrics.

“Kahan Jaoon” opens with a haunting melody that immediately sets the tone for the introspective journey the song is about to embark upon. The ethereal music sets the backdrop for the profound lyrics that delve into the depths of longing, confusion, and the quest for belonging.

The lyrics, penned with eloquence and depth, paint a vivid picture of a soul adrift in a world shrouded in smoke, grappling with the burning ache within. The existential questions posed by the singer echo the universal human experience of searching for meaning and direction in the face of uncertainty. The repetition of the refrain, “Where should I go,” echoes the relentless pursuit of purpose amidst the chaos of existence.

Musically, “Kahan Jaoon” is a masterpiece of composition and arrangement. The haunting melody, coupled with the emotive vocals, creates an immersive listening experience, something Meesha Shafi, Fawad Khan and Strings, the judges of PBOTB always admired.

Urdu Lyrics

 

دیکھو ہر طرف دھواں ہے

کوئی دل کہیں جلا ہے

کیسے بےخبر جہاں ہے

کوئی پتہ دے

کہاں جاؤں

کی ارادے بکھرنے لگے ہیں

کسے پاؤں

میری راہوں پہ منزل نہیں ہے

کہاں جاؤں

یہاں لگتا میرا دل نہیں ہے

عشق اب کہاں سے لاؤں

بکھرا یوں سمٹ نہ پاؤں

شاید یہ میری سزا ہے

بھلے، بھٹکے کنارے

دے پائے نہ سہارے

کیسے طوفان سے لڑوں

کوئی پناہ دے

کہاں جاؤں

کی ارادے بکھرنے لگے ہیں

کسے پاؤں

میری راہوں پہ منزل نہیں ہے

کہاں جاؤں

یہاں لگتا میرا دل نہیں ہے

راہیں بچے قدموں تلے

خود کو لگا لو جو گلے

منزل دکھائی پیروں تلے

خود کو لگا لو جو گلے

 

English Translation

There is smoke everywhere

A heart is burning somewhere

How oblivious the world is

Can someone tell me

Where should I go

My intentions are starting to scatter

Who should I find

There is no destination on my path

Where should I go

It doesn’t feel like my heart is here

Where can I find love now

I can’t seem to pull myself together

Maybe this is my punishment

Lost and wandering on the shores

Unable to find any support

How can I fight this storm

Can someone give me shelter

Where should I go

My intentions are starting to scatter

Who should I find

There is no destination on my path

Where should I go

It doesn’t feel like my heart is here

The paths are left under my feet

Embrace yourself

The destination will be shown under your feet

Embrace yourself
