Kaafi Raaton Se Lyrics English Translation – Paradox

Kaafi Raaton Se Main Mila Nahi Hoon Shaamon Se
For many nights, I have not connected with the evenings.

Kaafi Shaamon Se Main Mila Nahi Insaanon Se
For many evenings, I have not connected with people.

Haal Mila Mujhe Zaroor Pareshaaniyon Se
I have certainly become familiar with troubles.

Jo Dhoondhte Sawaal Hain Sawaal Yeh Jawaabon Mein
The questions I search for are hidden within the answers.

Main Toh Dhoondhta Nishaan Be Nishaanon Mein
I search for signs among the signs that have disappeared.

Chhodta Nishaan Hoon Zubaan Pe Deewanon Ke
I leave my mark on the tongues of those who are crazy.

Jaanoge Mujhe Jaanoge Jab Miloge Zamaane Se
You will know me, you will know when you meet the world.

Zamaane Ko Pehchanoge
You will recognize the world.

Maanoge Kya Baat Meri Maanoge Kya
Will you believe me, will you accept what I say?

Ke Upar Uth Chuka Hoon Ab Main Saare Yeh Sawaalon Se
I have now risen above all these questions.

Oonchai Nahi Maapta Udaano Se
I do not measure height by how high I fly.

Aur Maapta Gehrai Milti Hai Bas Kinaaron Pe
And I measure depth only by what I find at the shores.

Mujhe Milna Nahi Hai Ab Anjaanon Se
I do not want to meet strangers anymore.

Mujhe Lagta Nahi Hai Mujhe Jaanoge
I do not think you will ever know me.

Aadi Ho Gaye Hain Yeh Mere Gaanon Ke
They have become accustomed to my songs.

Mere Hi Jaise Apne Ho Gaya Main Taraano Ke
I have become one of my own, just like these melodies.

Taraano Ke
Of these melodies.

Taraano Bahaano Ke Aasre Banata Nahi Bahaano Ke
I do not make excuses by relying on melodies or pretexts.

Dhool Sa Shareer Mujhe Phir Se Daba Doge
You will bury my dust-like body once again.

Main Phool Ban Kar Aaunga Tum Raushni Hata Doge
I will return as a flower, and you will take away the light.

Chhaon Sa Chhipna Chahunga Tum Dhoondh Nikaaloge
I will want to hide like a shadow, but you will find me.

Par Kya Dhoondh Paoge Wajood Mera Dhoondh Lena
But will you be able to find my existence? Go ahead and find it.

Mil Jaaye Jo Sitaaron Mein
If it is found among the stars.

Khoob Kehna Alag Tha Insaanon Se
Say proudly that I was different from other people.

Chalo Main Milunga Ab Misaalon Mein
Come on, I will now be found among examples.

Maanoge Kya Baat Meri Maanoge Kya
Will you believe me, will you accept what I say?

Ke Kismat Maine Khoob Yun Hi Baant Di Baazaaron Mein
I have freely scattered my fate across the marketplaces.

Ab Khushi Baaki Khwaabon Se Hi Chheen Leta Hoon
Now I steal whatever happiness remains from my dreams.

Poora Karta Nahi Bas Waadon Ke Kareeb Baitha Hoon
I do not fulfill them; I simply sit close to my promises.

Bhula Doge Galtiyan Bhula Doge Kya
Will you forget my mistakes, will you really forget them?

Gila Sach Mein Abhi Nahi Hai Laazmi In Raahon Pe
There is truly no need for complaints on these paths anymore.

Kabhi Gaanon Ke Saharon Se Main Peed Sehta Hoon
Sometimes I endure my pain with the support of songs.

Deewana Hoon Main Taaron Ke Nazdeek Rehta Hoon
I am crazy, and I live close to the stars.

Dheet Jaisa Hoon Khudi Ke Naseeb Jaisa Hoon
I am stubborn, just like my own destiny.

Aane Wala Hoon Kal Chakko Mein Rasee Kaisa Hoon
I am coming tomorrow, tied within the cycles of fate, whatever I may be.

Maa Baap Ki Khushiyon Ko Main Jeet Kehta Hoon
I call my parents’ happiness a victory.

Kaise Haar Jaaun Haar Ko Bhi Seekh Kehta Hoon
How can I lose when I even call defeat a lesson?
