हम्म हम्म हम्म हम्म
कभी यादों में आऊं
कभी ख़्वाबों में आऊं
कभी यादों में आऊं
कभी ख़्वाबों में आऊं
तेरी पलकों के साये
मैं वो खुशबू नहीं जो
हवा में खो जाऊ
हवा भी चल रही है
मगर तू ही नहीं है
फिज़ा रंगीन बनी है
कहानी केह रही है
मुझे जितना भुलाओ
मैं उतना याद आऊं
हां हां जो तुम ना मिलते
होता ही क्या ढूंड लाने को
हां हां जो तुम ना मिलते
होता ही क्या ढूंड लाने को
जो तुम ना होते
होता ही क्या हार जाने को
मेरी अमानत हो तुम
मेरी मोहब्बत हो तुम (ओ ओ ओ)
तुम्हे कैसे मैं भुलाऊं
तू आसमान मेरा जहाँ लगे मुझे
तू रास्तों की मंजिलें लगे मुझे (लगे मुझे)
तू ही मेरी चांदनी वो
रातों को जो हलकी सी जले
तू ही मेरी शाम ओ सेहर जो मेरे संग चले
हवा भी चल रही है
मगर तू ही नहीं है
फिज़ा रंगीन बनी है
कहानी केह रही है
मुझे जितना भुलाओ
मैं उतना याद आऊँ
कभी यादों में आऊं
कभी ख़्वाबों में आऊं
कभी यादों में आऊं
कभी ख़्वाबों में आऊं
तेरी पलकों के साये
में आकर झिलमिलाऊं
ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ
हम्म हम्म हम्म हम्म
The lyrics of Arijit Singh's song "Kabhi Yaadon Mein" convey a sense of longing and nostalgia. The repetition of "Kabhi Yaadon Mein Aaun" and "Kabhi Khwaabon Mein Aaun" suggests that the singer yearns to be present in the memories and dreams of his beloved. He desires to be the shimmering shadow falling on her eyelids and not just a fragrance that gets lost in the air. The mention of the colorful breeze narrating a story indicates that the singer feels the absence of his beloved, even though everything else seems vibrant and alive. No matter how much he tries to forget her, he ends up remembering her even more.
The next few lines express the magnitude of the singer's longing for his beloved. The refrain "Jo Tum Na Milte, Hota Hi Kya Dhoondh Laane Ko" conveys that without her presence, nothing else matters. He questions the purpose of searching for anything else when he cannot find his beloved. If she wasn't there, what would be the point in winning or losing in life? The lines "Meri Amanat Ho Tum, Meri Mohabbat Ho Tum" suggest that she is his trust and love. He wonders how he could ever forget her when she feels like his sky and the destination of his paths. She is the gentle moonlight that softly illuminates his nights, and the twilight that accompanies him on his journey.
The repetition of the lines "Hawa Bhi Chal Rahi Hai, Magar Tu Hi Nahi Hai, Fiza Rangin Bani Hai, Kahani Keh Rahi Hai" emphasizes the juxtaposition between the vibrant atmosphere and the absence of his beloved. The world around him feels lively, but it is telling the story of her absence. Again, the singer acknowledges that the more he tries to forget her, the more she comes back to his memories.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Kabhi Yaadon Mein" express the singer's deep yearning and longing for his beloved. He wishes to be present in her memories and dreams, and he cannot forget her no matter how hard he tries. The song beautifully captures the emotions of nostalgia and the ache of separation.

कभी यादों में आऊं
Sometimes I come in memories
कभी ख़्वाबों में आऊं
Sometimes I come in dreams
तेरी पलकों के साये
Under the shadow of your eyelashes
में आकर झिलमिलाऊं
I come and twinkle
मैं वो खुशबू नहीं जो
I am not that fragrance
हवा में खो जाऊ
Gets lost in the wind
हवा भी चल रही है
The wind is blowing
मगर तू ही नहीं है
But you are not here
फिज़ा रंगीन बनी है
The atmosphere has become colorful
कहानी केह रही है
Telling a story
मुझे जितना भुलाओ
No matter how much you forget me
मैं उतना याद आऊं
I come back as much as you remember
हां हां जो तुम ना मिलते
Yes, yes, when I don't meet you
होता ही क्या ढूंड लाने को
What's the point of searching for anything
जो तुम ना होते
If you weren't there
होता ही क्या हार जाने को
What's the point of losing
मेरी अमानत हो तुम
You are my trust
मेरी मोहब्बत हो तुम (ओ ओ ओ)
You are my love
तुम्हे कैसे मैं भुलाऊं
How can I forget you
तू आसमान मेरा जहाँ लगे मुझे
You feel like my sky
तू रास्तों की मंजिलें लगे मुझे (लगे मुझे)
You seem like the destination of my paths
तू ही मेरी चांदनी वो
You are my moonlight
रातों को जो हलकी सी जले
That lightens up the nights
तू ही मेरी शाम ओ सेहर जो मेरे संग चले
You are my evening and dawn that walks with me
कभी यादों में आऊं
Sometimes I come in memories
कभी ख़्वाबों में आऊं
Sometimes I come in dreams
तेरी पलकों के साये
Under the shadow of your eyelashes
में आकर झिलमिलाऊं
I come and twinkle
ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ
ओ ओ ओ ओ
