Translation of the song Apni Marzi Se Kahan Apni Safar artist Jagjit Singh

Apni Marzi se kahan apni safar ke hum hain

This journey is not of our making,

Rukh hawaaon ka jidhar ka hai udhar ke hum hain

We go in whichever direction the wind blows.

Pehle har cheez thi apni magar ab lagta hai

Before, everything felt like it was ours, but now

Apne hi ghar mein kisi doosre ghar ke hum hain

We feel like outsiders in our own home.

Waqt ke saath mitti ka safar sadiyon se

With time, the journey of the sands has lasted eons,

Kisko maaloom kahan ke hain kidhar ke hum hain

Who knows from where we come.

Chalte rehte hain ke chalnaa hai musaafir ka naseeb

We keep going, to keep going is in the traveller's fate,

Sochte rehte hain kis raah guzar ke hum hain

We think of which bygone road we might've come from.
