Jashn e Bahara Lyrics in Hindi
कहने को जश्न-ए-बहारा है
इश्क़ ये देख के हैराँ है (x2)
फूल से खुशबू ख़फ़ा-खफा है गुलशन में
छुपा है कोई रंज फिज़ा की चिलमन में
सारे सहमे नज़ारे हैं
सोये-सोये वक्त के धारे हैं
और दिल में खोई-खोई सी बातें हैं
ओ हो कहने को जश्न-ए-बहारा है
इश्क़ ये देख के हैराँ है
फूल से खुशबू ख़फ़ा-खफा है गुलशन में
छुपा है कोई रंज फिज़ा की चिलमन में
कैसे कहें क्या है सितम
सोचते हैं अब ये हम
कोई कैसे कहे वो हैं या नहीं हमारे
करते तो हैं साथ सफर
फासले हैं फिर भी मगर
जैसे मिलते नहीं किसी दरिया के दो किनारे
पास हैं फिर भी पास नहीं
हमको ये गम रास नहीं
शीशे की इक दीवार है जैसे दरमियाँ
सारे सहमे नज़ारे हैं
सोये-सोये वक्त के धारे हैं
और दिल में खोई-खोई सी बातें हैं
ओ हो कहने को जश्न-ए-बहारा है
इश्क़ ये देख के हैराँ है
फूल से खुशबू ख़फ़ा-खफा है गुलशन में
छुपा है कोई रंज फिज़ा की चिलमन में
हमने जो था नगमा सुना
दिल ने था उसको चुना
ये दास्तान हमें वक्त ने कैसी सुनाई
हम जो अगर हैं गमगीं
वो भी उधर खुश तो नहीं
मुलाकातों में है जैसे घुल सी गई तन्हाई
मिलके भी हम मिलते नहीं
खिलके भी गुल खिलते नहीं
आँखों में हैं बहारें, दिल में खिज़ा
सारे सहमे नज़ारे हैं
सोये-सोये वक्त के धारे हैं
और दिल में खोई-खोई सी बातें हैं
ओ हो कहने को जश्न-ए-बहारा है
इश्क़ ये देख के हैराँ है
फूल से खुशबू ख़फ़ा-खफा है गुलशन में
छुपा है कोई रंज फिज़ा की चिलमन में

|---|---|
| Kehne ko jashn-e-bahara hai Ishq yeh dekh ke hairaan hai (x2) |
It seems like a celebration of spring Yet love is bewildered (x2) |
| Phool se khushboo khafa khafa hai gulshan mein Chupa hai koi ranj fiza ki chilman mein |
That fragrance is miffed with flowers in the garden There is some sadness concealed in the veil of wind |
| Sare sehme nazare hain Soye soye waqt ke dhare hain Aur dil mein khoyi khoyi si baatein hain |
All sceneries are silent Time is still and motionless And there are some lost, scattered thoughts in the heart |
| O ho kehne ko jashn-e-bahara hai Ishq yeh dekh ke hairaan hai Phool se khushboo khafa khafa hai gulshan mein Chupa hai koi ranj fiza ki chilman mein |
O ho, it seems like a celebration of spring Love is bewildered That fragrance is miffed with flowers in the garden There is some sadness concealed in the veil of wind |
| Kaise kahe kya hai sitam Sochte hain ab yeh hum Koi kaise kahe woh hain ya nahi humare Karte toh hain saath safar Faasle hain phir bhi magar Jaise milte nahi kisi dariya ke do kinare Paas hain phir bhi paas nahi Humko yeh gham raas nahi Sheeshe ki ek deewar hai jaise darmiyaan |
How do I say what is the trouble I now think How could one tell if they are mine or not We travel through the journey (of life) together Yet there are distances Like the two banks of a river never meet We are close, yet distant I do not like this As if there is a glass wall between us |
| Sare sehme nazare hain Soye soye waqt ke dhare hain Aur dil mein khoyi khoyi si baatein hain O ho kehne ko jashn-e-bahara hai Ishq yeh dekh ke hairaan hai Phool se khushboo khafa khafa hai gulshan mein Chupa hai koi ranj fiza ki chilman mein |
All sceneries are silent Time is still and motionless And there are some lost, scattered thoughts in the heart O ho, it seems like a celebration of spring Love is bewildered That fragrance is miffed with flowers in the garden There is some sadness concealed in the veil of wind |
| Humne jo tha nagma suna Dil ne tha usko chuna Yeh dastaan humein waqt ne kaise sunai Hum jo agar hain gamgeen Woh bhi udhar khush toh nahi Mulaqaton mein hai jaise ghul si gayi tanhai Milke bhi hum milte nahi Khilke bhi gul khilte nahi Aankhon mein hain baharein, dil mein khiza |
The story that I had heard Was chosen by the heart What is this story that time has told me If I am morose here They are not happy there, either There is some kind of loneliness in our meetings We meet, yet we do not Flowers bloom, yet they do not There is cheerfulness in the eyes and pain in the heart |
| Sare sehme nazare hain Soye soye waqt ke dhare hain, Aur dil mein khoyi khoyi si baatein hain, O ho kehne ko jashn-e-bahara hai, Ishq yeh dekh ke hairaan hai Phool se khushboo khafa khafa hai gulshan mein, Chupa hai koi ranj fiza ki chilman mein |
All sceneries are silent Time is still and motionless And there are some lost, scattered thoughts in the heart O ho, it seems like a celebration of spring Love is bewildered That fragrance is miffed with flowers in the garden There is some sadness concealed in the veil of wind |

Musical Layers: Rahman’s Genius, Ali’s Soul
Akhtar subverts celebration into quiet heartbreak: “Kehne ko jashne bahara hai” promises spring, but reveals love stunned by its own illusion. Festive imagery turns fragile fragrance recoils, wind hides grief capturing a mature ache, not blind passion. Rahman’s music breathes this tension, with hesitant flutes and swelling strings, while Javed Ali’s voice gives sorrow dignity. The song heals by naming pain, holding spring in the eyes and autumn in the heart.
? FAQs About Jashn e Bahara Lyrics
What does “Kehne ko jashne bahara hai” really mean?
It’s the facade of festivity: “To say, it’s spring’s celebration” but love sees through to the hidden sorrow. Akhtar uses it to frame irony, per a 2024 Urdu lit analysis (Sahitya Akademi Journal).
Is Jashn-e-Bahara from Jodhaa Akbar?
Yes, picturized on Hrithik and Aishwarya. It captures their arranged-marriage simmer, not overt passion.
Songs like Jashn-e-Bahara for bridal entry, minus the sadness?
Try “Tum Hi Ho” (Aashiqui 2) for uplift, or “Laal Ishq” (Ram Leela) poetic but brighter. Avoid if you want zero ache.
Why does the song feel so therapeutic?
Its paradox resolution mirrors CBT techniques: name the grief, let music metabolize it. A 2025 wellness thread credits it for 20% mood lifts in listeners (Dalvi’s playlist study).
Can I use these lyrics in a cover?
Sure, but credit creators. Rahman’s estate enforces royalties check ASCAP for live gigs.
