Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Manzil pe aate hi jaan chali jayegi
Oh, yeh to sikhandar ne bhi nahin tha socha
Aane se pehle khushi laut jayegi
Hum ne socha tha kya
Aur kya se kya hua
Jaa rehe hai aaj yeh zamaane ko batake
Yeh kya ho gaya rama re
Yeh kya ho gaya rama re
Yeh kya ho gaya maula re
Tera kasoor tha ya mera kasoor tha
Tera garoor tha ya mera garoor tha
Rabba main itna bora nahin hota
Tu agar bewafa nahin hota
Itna bata mujhe, kya mila tujhe
Ghum ke yeh kaante mere raho mein vicha ke
Yeh kya ho gaya rama re
Yeh kya ho gaya maula re
Yeh kya ho gaya rama re
Yeh kya ho gaya maula re
The song Socha Nahin Tha by Anand Raj Anand is a heartbroken melody about unexpected betrayal in love. The singer laments about the fickleness of destiny and the blindness of his own love towards the true character of his beloved. He starts off by saying that he had never foreseen that destiny would bring him to such an unfortunate end, where he would lose everything he had hoped for. He had thought that reaching his destination would bring more joy to his life, but instead, it brought him pain and despair.
The singer wonders why things have turned out so differently from his expectations, and laments the loss he has suffered. He then questions whether it's his fault or his lover's for breaking his heart. The singer also comments on how he doesn't believe that he's entirely at fault because he wouldn't have been so hurt if his lover hadn't betrayed him first. He pleads with his beloved to explain what he gained from hurting him so. All throughout the song, there is a repetitive phrase, "Yeh kya ho gaya rama re, Yeh Kya ho gaya maula re," implying that he is still grappling with the reality of what has happened to him.
The song speaks to anyone who has experienced the pain of betrayal or unexpected heartbreak. It captures the feelings of confusion, hurt and betrayal, which can be difficult to put into words. The lyrics are poignant and powerful, and the melody fits the mood of the song perfectly.

Socha nahin tha takdeer yahan layegi
I never thought fate would bring me here
Manzil pe aate hi jaan chali jayegi
As soon as I reach my destination, life will be over
Oh, yeh to sikhandar ne bhi nahin tha socha
Even Alexander the Great couldn't have predicted this
Aane se pehle khushi laut jayegi
Happiness will leave before it even arrives
Hum ne socha tha kya
What did we even think about
Aur kya se kya hua
How did things turn out the way they did
Jaa rehe hai aaj yeh zamaane ko batake
Today we are going to tell the world
Yeh kya ho gaya rama re
What has happened, my beloved
Tera kasoor tha ya mera kasoor tha
Was it your fault or mine
Tera garoor tha ya mera garoor tha
Was it your pride or mine
Rabba main itna bora nahin hota
God, I am not that bad
Tu agar bewafa nahin hota
If only you were not unfaithful
Itna bata mujhe, kya mila tujhe
Tell me, what did you gain from this
Ghum ke yeh kaante mere raho mein vicha ke
Thorns of sorrow have pricked my path
Yeh kya ho gaya maula re
What has happened, my Lord
