Yeh Hosla Kaise Jhuke

This song of steely-resolve and determination amidst tribulations of life, Yeh Hausla urges you to keep going forward in life. 

My favourite line however is the last one, ‘zinda har pyaar rahe’ which means ‘every love must live’. 

Thanks to Mir Ali Husain for saying something so deep so simply. 

Please do try to see the wonderful 2004 film on which Kukunoor’s Dor was based, i.e. Kamal’s Perumazhakkalam/The season of heavy rains.

 Original Lyrics

Yeh Hausla Yeh Hosla Kaise Jhuke,

Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke – 2

his courage won’t bend, This yearning won’t end.

Manzil Mushkil to kya, 

Dhundla Sahil to kya,

Tanha Ye Dil to Kya Hooo 

What if the riverbank is far, 

what if its approach is foggy,

what if my heart is lonely 

this resolve won’t bend, this desire won’t end. 

Raah Pe Kante Bikhre agar,

Uspe to phir bhi chalna hi hai, 

Saam Chhupale Suraj magar, 

Raat ko ek din dhalana hi hai, 

If a path is paved with thorns, 

we will take the blood-soaked walk. 

Twilight may shroud the sun, 

but night will be broken by the dawn.

 Rut ye tal jayegi, 

Himmat rang layegi, 

Subaha phir aayegi Hoooo 

This season shall pass, 

courage will colour the tomorrows. 

a morning will again arrive

Until then, this resolve won’t bend, this desire won’t end.

Hogi hame to rehmat ada, 

Dhup kategi saaye tale, 

Apni khuda se hai ye Dua, 

Manzil lagale humko gale 

If we are blessed, 

we shall have a shade under the scorching sun, 

We only plea to God,

that our destination embraces us, when the journey is done. 

Zurrat sau baar rahe, 

Uncha Ikraar rahe, 

Zinda har pyar rahe Hoooo 

Until our spirit rebirths hundred times over,

 until consent is paramount, 

until every love lives forever,

 Yeh Hosla Kaise Juke, 

Yeh Aarzoo Kaise Ruke – 2 

 this resolve won’t bend, this desire won’t end.
