Jab Yaar Dekha
Kavita Seth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dil ki gayi chinta utar.
Jab yaar dekha nain bhar
Dil ki gayi chinta utar.
Aisa nahi koi ajab,
Raakhe use samjhaye kar.
Jab yaar dekha nain bhar
Dil ki gayi chintaa utar.
Tujhpar humara pyaar hai.
Tu toh humara yaar hai
Tujhpar humara pyaar hai
Tujhpe dosti nisaar hai
Ek shabh milo tum aaye kar.
Ek shabh milo tum aaye kar
Ek shabh milo tum aaye kar
Jab yaar dekha nain bhar
Dil ki gayi chintaaaa utar.
In Kavita Seth's song "Jab Yaar Dekha," the singer reflects on the powerful impact of seeing a beloved friend. The first two lines of the song translate to "When I saw my friend, my eyes filled up and all the worries in my heart dissipated." This opening sets the scene for the rest of the song, as the singer describes the uplifting feeling of being in the presence of someone close to them.
The third line, "Aisa nahi koi ajab, Raakhe use samjhaye kar," can be translated to "There's nothing strange about it, try to make them understand." Here, the singer is acknowledging that this feeling of relief and happiness upon seeing a friend may seem inexplicable to others, but they assert that it is a very real, tangible experience. The refrain, "Jab yaar dekha nain bhar, Dil ki gayi chinta utar," is repeated throughout the song, reiterating the power of this experience for the singer.
The second half of the lyrics focus on the singer's love for their friend. In line six, they say "Tu toh humara yaar hai / Tujhpar humara pyaar hai," meaning "You are our friend and we love you." The next line, "Tujhpe dosti nisaar hai," can be translated to "Our friendship is dedicated to you." The refrain returns for the final lines of the song, emphasizing the importance of this relationship and its positive impact on the singer.
