Trivia: Original lyrics written by Pritam while he’s the one who gave the music as well. What a genius. He himself didn’t expect that song will turn out as well as it did. It eventually went on to break numerous records. Quite well deservingly, one of the finest compositions of modern times.
Poem and Translation:
Tujhko…
main rakh loon wahaan
Jahaan pe kahin
Hai mera yaqeen
Main jo… tera naa huaa
Kisi ka nahin
Kisi ka nahin
You, my love,
I should keep…
someplace safe,
where I hold my belief…
Should I,
can’t be of yours…
I can’t be of anyone else
Of no one else, I can be…
Le jaayein jaane kahaan
Hawayein, hawayein
Le jaayein tujhe kahaan
Hawayein, hawayein
Takes us where
I know not,
these rebellious winds…
Takes you where
I know not,
these rebellious winds…
Begaani hai yeh baaghi
Hawayein, hawayein
Le jaaye mujhe kahan
Hawayein, hawayein
Le jaayein jaane kahaan,
na mujhko khabar
Na tujhko pataa
Stranger they’re
the rebel,
gusts of winds…
Takes me where
I know not,
the rebellious winds…
Where they take us
You don’t get to know,
Nor do I get any hints…
Ho… Ho ho….. Ho ho ho….
Banaati hai jo tu
Woh yaadein
jaane sang
mere kab tak chalein…?
Inhi mein to meri
Subah bhi dhalein…
Shamein dhalein…
Mausam dhalein…
Memories that you make,
I know not for how long along me
would they stay…
But within these, for sure
live my nights, my sunrises,
and my sunsets…
Khayalon ka shehar
Tu jaane tere hone se hi aabaad hai
Hawayein Haq mein
Wohi hai aate jaate
jo tera naam lein…
The city of my dreams
is habited only due to your stay.
With such authority these winds
take your name, yet play so innocent…
Deti hain jo sadayein
Hawayein, hawayein
Na jaane kya batayein
Hawayein, hawayein
The way they keep calling,
the rebellious winds…
Don’t know, if confessing,
the rebellious winds…
Le jaaye tujhe kahaan
Hawayein, hawayein
Le jaaye mujhe kahaan
Hawayein, hawayein
Le jaayein jaane kahaan,
na mujhko khabar
Naa tujhko pataa
Takes you where
I know not,
these rebellious winds…
Takes me where
I know not,
these rebellious winds…
Where they take us
You don’t get to know,
Nor do I get any hints…
Ho… Ho ho….. Ho ho ho….
Chehra.. kyun milta tera
Yun khwabon se mere
Ye kya raaz hai?
Kal bhi.. meri na thi tu
Naa hogi tu Kal
Meri aaj hai
The face of yours,
how come it matches,
with the one in my dreams,
what sorcery in play?
You were
never mine in days before,
may not be in days to come,
but you’re mine today.
Teri hai meri, saari
wafayein wafayein
Maangi hai tere liye
duaayein duaayein
To you, they belong
my sincerity, my promises…
For you, I have made,
the prayers, all the wishes…
Le jaaye tujhe kahaan..
hawayein, hawayein
Le jaaye mujhe kahaan..
hawayein, hawayein
Le jaayein jaane kahaan,
na mujhko khabar
Na tujhko pataa
Takes you where
I know not,
these rebellious winds…
Takes me where
I know not,
these rebellious winds…
Where they take us
You don’t get to know,
Nor do I get any hints…
— Dedicated to the rebellious winds that take the lovers on a ride of bewilderment…
Serenades of a dreamer... 
One of my favourite song in Bollywood🥰
