Shaan – 3 Idiots: Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh Lyrics in English (Translation)

Behti hawa sa tha woh
He was like a breeze.

Udti patang sa tha woh
He was like a kite soaring freely in the sky.

Kahan gaya usey dhundo
Where has he gone? Go find him.

Behati hawa sa tha woh
He was like a breeze.

Udti patang sa tha woh
He was like a kite soaring freely in the sky.

Kahan gaya use dhundo
Where has he disappeared? Go look for him.

Humko toh rahein thi chalati
We only walked on the fixed paths laid out for us.

Woh khud apni raah banata
He created his own road, his own way.

Girta sambhalta, masti mein chalta tha woh
He would fall, get up, and keep moving with joy and playfulness.

Humko kal ki fikr satati
We were always worried about tomorrow.

Woh bas aaj ka jashn manata
He celebrated only the present moment.

Har lamhe ko khul ke jeeta tha woh
He lived every moment openly and fully.

Kahan se aaya tha woh
Where did he even come from, this extraordinary person?

Chhoo ke humare dil ko, dil ko
He touched all our hearts deeply.

Kahan gaya use dhundo
Where has he gone? Go find him.

Sulagti dhoop mein chhaon ke jaisa
He was like shade in scorching sunlight.

Registaan mein gaon ke jaisa
Like a little village in the middle of a desert — comforting and rare.

Man ke ghaav pe marham jaisa tha woh
He was like a soothing balm on the wounds of the heart.

Hum sahme se rehte kuein mein
I remain fearful in the well.

Woh nadiyon mein gote lagata
He dived fearlessly into flowing rivers.

Ulti dhaara cheer ke tairta tha woh
He swam against the current, cutting through the flow.

Baadal aawara tha woh, yaar humara tha woh
He was a wandering cloud — free-spirited.. and he was our friend.

Kahan gaya use dhundo
Where has he gone? Search for him.

Humko toh rahein thi chalati
We walked the predictable paths.

Woh khud apni raah banata
He carved out his own journey.

Girta sambhalta, masti mein chalta tha woh
He stumbled, rose, and kept moving with a childlike spirit.

Humko kal ki fikr satati
We were haunted by worries of the future.

Woh bas aaj ka jashn manata
He lived to celebrate today.

Har lamhe ko khul ke jeeta tha woh
He embraced every second with all his heart.

Kahan se aaya tha woh
Where did someone like him come from?

Chhu ke humare dil ko
He touched our hearts in ways we can’t forget.

Kahan gaya usey dhundo
Where has he gone? Go and find him.
