Gulbahar Lyrics English Translation – Ishaan Mozumder | Shuvendu Das Shuvo

(Verse 1)
In the winding lanes of Lal Bazar, ‘neath a sky so vast and blue,
A daily ritual led me to the betel shop, and there my story grew.
For Baker Ali had a daughter, a jewel beyond compare,
And the world knew her by the name of… Gulbahar.

(Chorus)
Her name was Gulbahar, a vision to enthrall.
No measure in this world could capture her at all.
Her beauty was a force, a blazing, brilliant star,
O Hosne Ara, my beloved… Gulbahar!

(Verse 2)
A sharp, sly spark within her eyes, mischief tucked inside her smile,
With playful schemes to set a captive heart beguiled.
And I, I surrendered breathless, without a fight or plea,
And drowned myself within the boundless, sweeping tide of love’s deep sea.

(Bridge: Love’s Whispers & Wounds)
We traded secret letters, a parchment conversation spun,
Whispered sweet affection, then with cold disdain would run.
A dance of tender longing mixed with wounded, bitter art,
While I waited on each street corner, clutching fragments of my heart.

(Verse 3)
I became a hopeless wanderer, a traveler lost and cursed,
Trapped forever in the chains of a love’s caravan rehearsed.
Amidst the song-filled gatherings, the festive, noisy night,
I searched for just a glimpse of her, my solitary light.
Until one day, she vanished, without a word or trace,
And left my soul with hidden wounds no other could erase.
She ended our brief fantasy, that bliss we briefly knew,
O Hosne Ara Gulbahar… what did I mean to you?

(Outro)
She left my spirit restless, she stole my sleep away…
Gulbahar…
Gulbahar…
Her name was Gulbahar, a vision to enthrall…
No measure in this world could capture her at all…
O Hosne Ara Gulbahar…
Baker Ali’s precious daughter…
Her name was…
Gulbahar.
