Tauba tauba is a Hindi song by Kailash Kher that expresses the inner conflicts and struggles of a person who is repenting for their wrongdoings. The phrase "Tauba tauba" is an expression of remorse and regret in Urdu, and the song's lyrics use it repeatedly to emphasize the singer's guilty conscience.


The song's opening lines set the tone for the rest of the lyrics: "Tauba tauba, kya hoga, na jaane zindagi ka raaz hai."

The singer is deeply introspective and questioning their past decisions, wondering what consequences they may face for their actions. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Tauba tauba" several times along with the line "Main teri aankh ka tara hoon" which translates to, "I'm just a star in your eyes."

Line by Line Meaning

Tauba tauba karta hai yaar
Oh my friend, I am repenting and feeling remorseful


Na insaafi hai yeh
This is injustice


Waqt ka saja hai
This is the punishment of time


Kaisa hai yeh bandhan
What kind of bond is this?


Kyon tune toda hai
Why did you break it?


Kasam hai tujhe kasam hai mujhe bhi
I swear to you and you swear to me


Raaste mein hum dono hai akela
We both are alone on this path


Tu kyun bhala chhod diya
Why did you leave me?


Chhode waalon se mila de mujhko
Introduce me to those who have left


Uske dil mein bhi dard hai
There is pain in their heart too


Badle mein kaisi ye saza hai
What kind of punishment is this in return?


Tauba tauba karta hai yaar
Oh my friend, I am repenting and feeling remorseful
